  • The Genius of Hitchcock Part One: August 2012
    12/44 The Genius of Hitchcock Part One: August 2012 Special events include: x Tippi Hedren in Conversation x TV Preview + Q&A: THE GIRL – new BBC2 drama telling the full story of Hitchcock’s relationship with Tippi Hedren x Camille Paglia: Women & Magic in Hitchcock x The Lodger + composer Nitin Sawhney in Conversation Over the course of almost three months, Hitchcock’s surviving body of work as director will be presented in its entirety at BFI Southbank. The films will be grouped together, taking inspiration from one his most famous films to present the 39 Steps to the Genius of Hitchcock to help audiences increase their understanding of this complex and fascinating director. The first part of the BFI Southbank season in August, with special thanks to Sky Movies/HD, focuses on the first 12 steps, beginning with The Shaping of Alfred Hitchcock. The recent discovery in New Zealand of several reels of The White Shadow, scripted by Hitchcock, made international headlines. But other material, too, survives from his apprentice years, prior to The Pleasure Garden. In The Shaping of Hitchcock: Reflections on The White Shadow author Charles Barr will present a richly illustrated narrative of Hitchcock’s formative years, as an introduction to a screening of the thus-far incomplete The White Shadow (1924). BFI Future Film presents The DIY Thriller Film Fortnight to accompany the second step: The Master of Suspense. This course will give participants aged 15-25 the chance to make short thriller films inspired by Hitchcock. The Evolution of Style will look at the development of Hitchcock’s style – described by the director as ‘the first true Hitchcock film’, The Lodger (1926) introduces themes that would run through much of Hitchcock’s later work.

  • Chapter 5. All Dressed up and Running Wild: Some Like It Hot (1959)
    Chapter 5 ALL DRESSED UP AND RUNNING WILD: SOME LIKE IT HOT (1959) “Whatever meaning you will fi nd in my pictures, it’s all put in kind of con- traband, you know—sort of smuggled in.” —Billy Wilder1 “Satires that are understood by the censor should indeed be forbidden.” —Karl Kraus2 Trading in Counterfeits A hearse drives through a city at night, four somber men inside seated around a coffi n. A siren is heard, faint at fi rst but rapidly growing louder. The driver and the man next to him exchange nervous glances; the men in back peek through the curtain and see a police car bearing down on them. The driver accelerates, weaving crazily through traffi c while the police- men behind them open fi re. The men in back pull a couple of sawed-off shotguns from a hidden overhead rack and return fi re. Bullets riddle their car, smashing the glass panel. Suddenly, the police car skids out of control, jumps the curb, and comes to a screeching halt while the gangsters escape. But bullets have penetrated the coffi n and liquid is spurting through the bullet holes. Taking the lid off the men reveal that the coffi n is fi lled to the top with liquor bottles, some of them broken. A superimposed title informs us where we are—it’s Chicago, 1929. Thus opens Some Like It Hot, set in Al Capone’s wintry city during the time of Prohibition, the speakeasy, organized crime, and gang warfare. Yet what begins as a gangster fi lm in the tradition of Scarface (Howard Hawks, 1932) and such Warner classics as The Public Enemy (William Well- man, 1931), Angels with Dirty Faces (Michael Curtiz, 1938) and The Roar- ing Twenties (Raoul Walsh, 1939) soon reveals its more parodic dimension.

    PJQ0405 LJM0405 PROPOSING CINEMA STUDIES AT WPI An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by ____________________ Steven M. Torance ____________________ John Potter ____________________ Matthew Brennan ____________________ Jacob Vadakekalam Date: May 3, 2005 ____________________________ Professor Laura Menides, Co-Advisor 1. cinema 2. film 3. 16mm ____________________________ Professor Patrick Quinn, Co-Advisor Abstract The goal of this project was to preserve WPI’s 16mm film collection as well as gauge student interest in a WPI film studies program. We discuss the method we used for transferring the seventy-six films to digital video cassettes (DVC) and the problems we encountered. A student survey was used to measure interest in a film program, and the results are analyzed. We also explored the copyright issues involved and possible solutions. Proposing Cinema Studies at WPI i Executive Summary This project “Proposing Cinema Studies at WPI” is a continuation of a 2004 MQP by Jonathan Naumowicz. He determined that there was a critical mass of faculty that would support a new Film and Imaging Program. He also determined the most utilitarian method of preserving WPI’s collection of 16mm film: projecting the film onto a white screen and recording the projected image with a digital camcorder. This project focused on transferring WPI’s film collection to a digital format, as well as determining the level of student interest in a film program. WPI’s film collection was almost lost when the library decided to throw out the reels because they occupied too much room.

Chapel Hill 2013 Approved by: Christopher Browning Chad Bryant Konrad Jarausch Wayne Lee Donald Reid ABSTRACT RICHARDS PLAVNIEKS: Nazi Collaborators on Trial during the Cold War: The Cases against Viktors Ar ājs and the Latvian Auxiliary Security Police (Under the direction of Christopher Browning) The Latvian Auxiliary Security Police, informally known as the Arajs Kommando after its founder and commander, Viktors Ar ājs, was a unique unit among the perpetrators of the Holocaust. Composed of a total of about 1,200 volunteers, it participated in all quintessential aspects of the “Holocaust by Bullets” in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union including raiding and looting homes; clearing ghettos; engaging in mass-shootings, anti- partisan operations, and reprisal actions; and the rest. The direct deaths of at least 26,000 Jews in Latvia may be laid at its boots, although this number does not reflect the unknown but considerable death toll the Kommando inflicted in the course of occupation duty in Nazi- controlled Belarus nor the assistance it rendered in other Actions such as providing the screen at Rumbula – the second largest mass shooting at the time behind Babi Yar.
