  • Memory, History, and Entrapment in the Temporal Gateway Film
    Lives in Limbo: Memory, History, and Entrapment in the Temporal Gateway Film Sarah Casey Benyahia A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Department of Literature, Film, and Theatre Studies University of Essex October 2018 Abstract This thesis examines the ways in which contemporary cinema from a range of different countries, incorporating a variety of styles and genres, explores the relationship to the past of people living in the present who are affected by traumatic national histories. These films, which I’ve grouped under the term ‘temporal gateway’, focus on the ways in which characters’ experiences of temporality are fragmented, and cause and effect relationships are loosened as a result of their situations. Rather than a recreation of historical events, these films are concerned with questions of how to remember the past without being defined and trapped by it: often exploring past events at a remove through techniques of flashback and mise-en-abyme. This thesis argues that a fuller understanding of how relationships to the past are represented in what have traditionally been seen as different ‘national’ cinemas is enabled by the hybridity and indeterminacy of the temporal gateway films, which don’t fit neatly into existing categories discussed and defined in memory studies. This thesis employs an interdisciplinary approach in order to draw out the features of the temporal gateway film, demonstrating how the central protagonist, the character whose life is in limbo, personifies the experience of living through the past in the present. This experience relates to the specifics of a post-trauma society but also to a wider encounter with disrupted temporality as a feature of contemporary life.

  • Ancient Greek Myth and Drama in Greek Cinema (1930–2012): an Overall Approach
    Konstantinos KyriaKos ANCIENT GREEK MYTH AND DRAMA IN GREEK CINEMA (1930–2012): AN OVERALL APPROACH Ι. Introduction he purpose of the present article is to outline the relationship between TGreek cinema and themes from Ancient Greek mythology, in a period stretching from 1930 to 2012. This discourse is initiated by examining mov- ies dated before WW II (Prometheus Bound, 1930, Dimitris Meravidis)1 till recent important ones such as Strella. A Woman’s Way (2009, Panos Ch. Koutras).2 Moreover, movies involving ancient drama adaptations are co-ex- amined with the ones referring to ancient mythology in general. This is due to a particularity of the perception of ancient drama by script writers and di- rectors of Greek cinema: in ancient tragedy and comedy film adaptations,3 ancient drama was typically employed as a source for myth. * I wish to express my gratitude to S. Tsitsiridis, A. Marinis and G. Sakallieros for their succinct remarks upon this article. 1. The ideologically interesting endeavours — expressed through filming the Delphic Cel- ebrations Prometheus Bound by Eva Palmer-Sikelianos and Angelos Sikelianos (1930, Dimitris Meravidis) and the Longus romance in Daphnis and Chloë (1931, Orestis Laskos) — belong to the origins of Greek cinema. What the viewers behold, in the first fiction film of the Greek Cinema (The Adventures of Villar, 1924, Joseph Hepp), is a wedding reception at the hill of Acropolis. Then, during the interwar period, film pro- duction comprises of documentaries depicting the “Celebrations of the Third Greek Civilisation”, romances from late antiquity (where the beauty of the lovers refers to An- cient Greek statues), and, finally, the first filmings of a theatrical performance, Del- phic Celebrations.

  • The Cinema of Theo Angelopoulos Edited by Angelos Koutsourakis & Mark Stevens Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2015
    FILMICON: Journal of Greek Film Studies ISSUE 4, December 2017 BOOK REVIEW The Cinema of Theo Angelopoulos edited by Angelos Koutsourakis & Mark Stevens Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2015 Thanassis Vassiliou Université de Poitiers The collective volume The cinema of Theo Angelopoulos, edited by Angelos Koutsourakis and Mark Stevens, attempts to establish and highlight the reasons why the cinema of Theo Angelopoulos holds a very important position in the history of world cinema. The book comprises seventeen essays and is divided in four complementary parts: authorship, politics, poetics, and time. In the introduction of the book, discussion revolves around whether Theo Angelopoulos’s work, which starts in the late 1960s, can be interpreted through the prism of late-modernism as the oeuvre of one of the many significant directors who proved that cinema becomes universal when is deeply anchored in the traditions and the history of its country of origin. This, however, cannot be perceived only in positive terms. The critical reception of Angelopoulos’s work was often uneasy about the fact that his films are deeply imbricated in modern Greek history (p. 9). This uneasiness was further increased by the fact that Angelopoulos was always considered as a living anachronism. The editors aptly juxtapose the question of the position of Angelopoulos’s work in modern cinema with its critical reception, and before they pass the torch to the contributing authors, they make sure to offer a short synopsis of modern Greek history, necessary to the unacquainted readers. Ι. Authorship The five texts comprising the first part of the book approach Angelopoulos’s work through his formation as an author.

  • The Films of Theo Angelopoulos: a Voyage in Time
    The Films of Theo Angelopoulos: A Voyage in Time Evangelos Makrygiannakis Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2008 Abstract This thesis provides a critical enquiry into the films of Theo Angelopoulos. Dividing his films into two periods—the one running through the seventies and the other starting with the advent of the eighties—I will examine the representation of history in the first period of Angelopoulos and the metaphor of the journey in his subsequent films. Furthermore, I will trace the development of an aesthetic based on long takes which evokes a particular sense of time in his films. This aesthetic, which is based on the internal rhythm of the shot, inscribes a temporality where past, present, and future coexist in a contemporaneous image. Being free from the requirements of an evolving plot, this image is an autonomous image which allows the passing of time to be felt. Autonomy, which I will define after philosopher Cornelius Castoriadis as an immanent movement towards change, can be also used to describe the process of changing oneself or a given society from within. In exploring the resonances autonomy has, I will make a connection between the social and the cinematic; an attempt which is informed by what Angelopoulos’ films do of their own accord. In this way, I will suggest that Angelopoulos is important not only for the history of film but also for one’s modus vivendi. iii iv Acknowledgements I would like to deeply thank my supervisors, the late Professor Dietrich Scheunemann, Professor Martine Beugnet and Professor John Orr, for all their precious feedback and support throughout the years.

  • The Disjunctive Aesthetics Af Myth and Empathy in Thea Angelopaulas' Ulysses Gaze Vrasldas Karalls
    The Disjunctive Aesthetics af Myth and Empathy in Thea Angelopaulas' Ulysses Gaze Vrasldas Karalls 77ze true is inimitable, the false un transformable. Robert Bresson j) As a Prelude In his insightful study on Theo Angelopoulos' cinema, Andrew Horton posits an extremely crucial question about the director's visual strategies in order to establish creative empathy between his audience and his epic cinema of 'contemplation': "while Angelopoulos often refers to Brecht and the need for an audience to think as well as feel in theater and cinema, we do not experience anything close to what could be called an 'alienation effect' in Brechtian terms. To the contrary, the mixture of theatricality and reality in his films often leads us into a deeper, fuller emotional bond with the film - one that, we could say, embraces our thinking mind as well".1 In our opinion, this premise needs qualifications and some further discussion in order to better appreciate the formal and visual techniques employed by Angelopoulos to transport his viewer through imaginative empathy into the levels of meaning that themselves establish and denote. For this purpose we will attempt a close look at one of his most 'epic' films, Ulysses' Gaze (1995), in order to examine the creative dilemmas of the artist in an era of intense commercialisation of cinema and of the absence of political projects for artistic renewal. 1 I lorton.

  • Statistics and Cultural Context in Theo Angelopoulos's Camerawork: The
    FILMICON: Journal of Greek Film Studies ISSUE 3, October 2015 Statistics and Cultural Context in Theo Angelopoulos’s Camerawork: The Case of the Film Eternity and a Day Ioannis Skopeteas University of the Aegean ABSTRACT This paper applies a statistical style analysis on one of Theo Angelopoulos’s most prominent stylistic features, camerawork, in his acclaimed film Eternity and a Day (1998). Then, it contextualizes the results in order to trace Angelopoulos’s cultural background and his limits as filmmaker. At the end, through the statistics it is revealed the signature style of Angelopoulos, that is a ‘real’ complicated space and a concrete piece of time, lasting minutes, with no effects and no editing, which is depicted by a moving camera in a constant process of forming an artificial ‘stage’ for contemplation. This paper is a contribution to how Angelopoulos further developed film auteurism and the political cinematic modernism of his generation. KEYWORDS Angelopoulos camerawork cinematography Greek cinema statistics style 65 STATISTICS AND CULTURAL CONTEXT ISSUE 3, October 2015 Since 1970 and the first feature film of Theo Angelopoulos (Anaparastasi/Reconstruction), there have been plenty of academic and journalistic texts commenting on themes and concepts of his cinematic image: the Journey, the Exile, the Political and the Historical, the Myth, the Utopia and the Allegory, the Melancholy, the 20th century tragedy, the history of Greece, the Balkans and Europe. Similarly, and according to the background of the authors, in a considerable number of reports, headlines, articles and reviews, Angelopoulos has occasionally been characterized as poet, auteur, philosopher, ambassador of the Greek spirit or the last modernist, as for example, in compilations such as Stathi’s (2000) or Horton’s (1997).

  • Eternity and History: the Cinema of Theo Angelopoulos,’ the First Complete U.S
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ‘ETERNITY AND HISTORY: THE CINEMA OF THEO ANGELOPOULOS,’ THE FIRST COMPLETE U.S. RETROSPECTIVE IN 25 YEARS Film series focusing on the director of Landscape in the Mist, The Traveling Players, and Eternity and a Day July 8–24, 2016 at Museum of the Moving Image Astoria, Queens, NY, June 23, 2016—Greece’s most prominent film director of the post-1968 era, Theo Angelopoulos (1935–2012) was a master cinema stylist. His investigations into history and politics, tyranny and resistance, and spiritual anomie and emotional devastation place him on equal footing with filmmakers like Andrei Tarkovsky, Bernardo Bertolucci, and Wim Wenders. Today, at a time when Greece has struggled with impending economic collapse, and as the country’s refugee crisis has worsened, with displaced populations fleeing war in the Middle East and massing on its borders, the themes of Angelopoulos’s cinema are pressing once again. Museum of the Moving Image will present Eternity and History: The Cinema of Theo Angelopoulos, a complete retrospective of the director’s career—the first in the United States in 25 years—from July 8 through 24, 2016. The retrospective will also be presented at the Harvard Film Archive in Cambridge, Massachusetts, from July 15 through August 22. The presentation of the retrospective at Museum of the Moving Image was made possible with support from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation and the Hellenic American Chamber of Commerce. “As a new generation of Greek filmmakers, including Yorgos Lanthimos and Athina Rachel Tsangari, have reached international prominence, the time is ripe to see Angelopoulos anew, as cinema that reflects on the past while foretelling the turbulent world we are now living in,” said Chief Curator David Schwartz.

Salamanca, Plaza Universitaria Ediciones, 2009, pp. 601-12. [ISBN 978-84-86759-02-5]. Resumen Este artículo hace una revisión histórica de quiénes han sido y son las principales compositoras de música incidental para cine, televisión y videojuegos, mostrando cómo las mujeres describen con sello propio el universo que perciben, los personajes y las situaciones específicas, a través de la música incidental compuesta por ellas mismas. Abstract This article gives us a historical review of the women who have been and are nowadays the principal composers of incidental music for cinema, television and video games. This music shows us how women describe with their own style the universe that they perceive, the main roles of the protagonists and their specific situations, across the incidental music composed by themselves.

LA UTOPÍA DEL UNIVERSO FEMENINO Matilde OLARTE MARTÍNEZ (Universidad de Salamanca) Con este artículo pretendo mostrar cómo las mujeres describen con sello propio el universo que perciben, los personajes y las situaciones específicas, a través de la música incidental, o sea, aquella música que se compone especialmente para que acompañe a imágenes predeterminadas, como es el caso del teatro, del cine y del ballet. La música incidental es la encargada de describirnos a los personajes y a su mudo interior, de dibujarnos la atmósfera de amor, intriga, odio, que rodea a la acción que estamos viendo; de hacer una elipsis narrativa para situarnos en una secuencia temporal distinta de la que estábamos viendo unos segundos antes.
