To Download SEARCHING for INGMAR BERGMAN
SYNOPSIS Internationally renowned director Margarethe von Trotta examines Ingmar Bergman’s life and work with a circle of his closest collaborators as well as a new generation of filmmakers. This documentary presents key components of his legacy, as it retraces themes that recurred in his life and art and takes us to the places that were central to Bergman’s creative achievements. DIRECTOR’S BIOGRAPHY The daughter of Elisabeth von Trotta and the painter Alfred Roloff, Margarethe von Trotta was born in Berlin in 1942 and spent her childhood in Düsseldorf. After fine art studies, she moved to Munich to study Germanic and Latin language. She then joined a school for dramatic arts and began an acting career, in the theatres of Düsseldorf and afterwards in the Kleines Theater of Frankfurt in 1969 and 1970. At the end of the 1960 she moved in Paris for her studies and immersed herself in the film-lover circles of the time. She took part in script redacting and directing of short films and discovered via the Nouvelle Vague directors and critics the films of Ingmar Bergman and Alfred Hitchcock. In Germany, Margarethe von Trotta has worked with a new generation of young filmmakers: Herbert Achternbusch, Volker Schlöndorff who she married in 1971 and with whom she directed and wrote The Sudden Wealth of the Poor People of Kombach (1971) and The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum (1975), as well as Rainer Werner Fassbinder who made her act in four of his films. She directed in 1978 her first long feature, The Second Awakening of Christa Klages.

The Desire for History in Lars Von Trier's Europa and Theo
The Desire for History in Lars von Trier’s Europa and Theo An- gelopoulos’ The Suspended Step of the Stork By Angelos Koutsourakis Spring 2010 Issue of KINEMA THE PERSISTENCE OF DIALECTICS OR THE DESIRE FOR HISTORY IN LARS VON TRIER’S EUROPA AND THEO ANGELOPOULOS’ THE SUSPENDED STEP OF THE STORK In this article I intend to discuss cinema’s potential to represent history in a period that political conflict and historical referents seem to be absent. I am going to pursue this argument through a comparative reading of two films, Lars von Trier’s Europa (1991) and Theo Angelopoulos’ The Suspended Step of the Stork (1991). My contention is that these two films exploit historical narratives of the past and the present with theview to negating teleological and ahistorical assumptions that history has come to a standstill. The central topos of the postmodern theory is that the distinctions between real and fictional reference are not clear-cut and in order to gain an historical understanding one has to go beyond reductionist simplifications between facts and representations. This loss of historical specificity has been heightened by the collapse of a socialist alternative which provided for many years a sense of political conflict. European Cinema has responded in that loss of historicity in various ways. For the most part history becomes a fetish that puts forward a postmodern nostalgia that does not offer an understanding of the historical present. For instance, in Wolfgang Becker’s Goodbye Lenin (2003) the East German past becomes a site of fascination stemming from the absence of overt concrete political conflict in contemporary history.

THE FEMININE SUBLIME IN 21ST CENTURY SURREALIST CINEMA A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Humanities By ABIGAIL SORENSEN B.A., Wright State University, 2013 2016 Wright State University 2 ABSTRACT Sorensen, Abigail. M. Hum. Humanities Department, Wright State University, 2016. The Feminine Sublime in 21st Century Surrealist Cinema. This thesis will examine how the characters in three contemporary surrealist films, Mulholland Dr. (2001), Under the Skin (2013), and Melancholia (2011), experience the sublime. In each film, the female characters are marked by the “otherness” of femininity along with the consequential philosophical and social alienation due to their marginalized roles within the patriarchal structure. Their confrontations with the otherness of sublimity are disparate from their male counterparts, whose experiences are not complicated by patriarchal oppression. The sublimity the characters are faced with forces them to recognize their subjugated social positioning.

Fassbinder Rétrospective 11 Avril – 16 Mai
RAINER WERNER FASSBINDER RÉTROSPECTIVE 11 AVRIL – 16 MAI Lola, une femme allemande 66 LE MONDE COMME VOLONTÉ ET REPRÉSENTATION Venu du théâtre, auteur d’une imposante œuvre cinématographique et télé- visuelle interrompue par sa mort prématurée, Fassbinder a été l’une des plus puissantes figures du nouveau cinéma allemand. Ses films dénoncent un certain état de la société allemande, sa violence de classes et le refoulé de son passé nazi. « Pas d’utopie est une utopie. » Rainer Werner Fassbinder, 1971 Rainer Werner Fassbinder comparait sa filmographie à une maison. Les mauvaises langues sont tentées d’orner l’entrée de l’édifice d’un dantesque « Désespoir », en anglais Despair – comme son adaptation du roman éponyme de Vladimir Nabokov (1978). C’est oublier, au-delà de la chape de plomb existentielle associée à son ciné- RAINER WERNER FASSBINDER WERNER RAINER ma (Années 70 ! Papier peint brunâtre !), que le sous-titre de Despair était Voyage vers la lumière. Tendue entre ciel et terre, la beauté mélancolique de l’œuvre de Fassbinder est celle d’un cinéma de l’utopie, sous le sceau du rimbaldien « Je est un autre » qu’un personnage lâche dans sa pièce L’Ordure, la Ville et la Mort. L’archétype du personnage fassbinderien se projette, rêve d’une âme frère/sœur avec qui il ne ferait qu’un, son double, son reflet mais aussi (et surtout) son bour- reau. « Chaque homme tue ce qu’il aime », chantait Jeanne Moreau dans Querelle. Le coup de foudre entre le personnage-titre de Martha et son futur époux, traité comme un ballet de poupées mécaniques, témoigne de la ferveur fantasmatique dans laquelle le protagoniste fassbindérien se noie par amour et pour cette utopie.
