Çağımızın üzerinde en çok tartışılan bu bilim ve sanat alanıyla ilgili bilimsel ve akademik çalışmaların seyri, sinemanın toplumları nedenli derinden etkilediğini, hangi dinamikleriyle tutum ve davranışlarda belirleyici olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Diyalektik kurgu üzerine yapılan bu ve benzeri çalışmalar öğrencilerimizin iyi yetişmesine ve çağdaş sinemaya kuşkusuz önemli katkılar yapacaktır. Üretilen bilgiyi paylaşmanın çeşitli yolları vardır. Bunların en eskilerinden birisi kuşkusuz kitaplardır. Beykent Üniversitesi öğretim üyelerinden Yrd.Doç.Dr.Cengis T. Asiltürk’ün, sinemanın evrensel diline baktığı bu kitap sinema konusunda bastığımız ilk çalışma olması yanında, diyalektik kurgu öncelikli olmak üzere sinema dilini her boyutuyla irdeleyen ülkemizdeki ilk sinema kitabıdır. Bilindiği gibi; Üniversitemiz, Sinema Bölümü öğrencilerinin film seti deneyimi de edinmiş olarak en iyi biçimde yetişmesi için, teknik ve akademik kadro açısından alt yapısını oluşturmuştur. Öğrenci öncelikli eğitim-öğretim anlayışını benimseyen Beykent Üniversitesi, öğretim üyelerimizin gerektiğinde set çalışmasına katılımı ve desteğiyle, öğrencilere kendi kısa filmlerini çektirmektedir. Öğrenci filmlerinin dünya ölçeğindeki festivallerde gösterilecek niteliklere sahip olduğunu sevinç ve gururla gözlemekteyiz. Üniversitemiz benzer akademik yayınları ve filmleriyle bilgi üretimi ve paylaşımı alanında söz sahibidir. Beykent Üniversitesi mezunlarının ileride çok önemli yapımlara imza atacağından kuşkumuz yoktur. Saygı ve sevgilerimle... Prof.Dr.Cuma BAYAT Rektör I YAZARIN ÖZGEÇMİŞİ 1968’de Adana’da doğdu.

They made it clear that they possessed certain magical secrets of their profession, but they mentioned them evasively. Now and then they made lofty artistic pronouncements, but they showed a more sincere interest in anecdotes about scenarios that were written on a cuff during a gay supper.... This might well be a description of Hollywood during any period of its cultivated silence on the matter of film-making. Actually, it is Leningrad in 1924, described by Grigori Kozintsev in his memoirs.1 It is so seldom that we are allowed to study the disclosures of a Hollywood film-maker about his medium that I cannot recall the last instance that preceded John Howard Lawson's book. There is no dearth of books about Hollywood, but when did any other book come from there that takes such articulate pride in the art that is-or was-made there? I have never understood exactly why the makers of American films felt it necessary to hide their methods and aims under blankets of coyness and anecdotes, the one as impenetrable as the other.

  • Chess Fever (1925) Shakhmatnaya Goryachka
    Chess Fever (1925) Shakhmatnaya Goryachka Sunday 21 March 2021 Music By: John Sweeney In answer to what might be your first two questions— The good news: as with the Netflix sensation The Queen’s Gambit (2020), you don’t need to ​ ​ understand chess to love Chess Fever (1925). ​ ​ The better news: Chess Fever is hilarious. ​ ​ The Russian silent cinema isn’t particularly known for its comedies: epic sweep and dazzling montage, yes, pratfalls, not so much. And yet. Sergei Eisenstein was a cartoonist, and you can see how a talent for caricature comes through in his work, with every character a grotesque, carefully cast for their facial features and body types, and augmented with costume and makeup. And less-celebrated filmmakers Boris Barnet and Fedor Ozep, who both cameo in Chess Fever, were very successful working in a lighter vein, using the techniques of montage in ​ a playful fashion, which those techniques proved very well suited to. If you think about it, even the theory behind all that dialectical cutting had a humorous quality, with Comrade Kuleshov noting that you could make a closeup of an actor look grandfatherly or just hungry depending on whether you cut to a baby or a bowl of soup. And you could cut from a man waving in front of the Kremlin to another man waving with the Eiffel Tower behind him, and the audience would be forced to accept they were waving at each other. These were funny guys, at least some of the time. Vsevolod Pudovkin & Nikolai Shpikovsky, the team behind Chess Fever, went on to direct ​ ​ serious, weighty classics of their native cinema: Mother (1926) and Storm over Asia (1928) in ​ ​ the former’s case, Bread (1930) in the latter’s.

  • Soviet Montage Cinema As Propaganda and Political Rhetoric
    Soviet Montage Cinema as Propaganda and Political Rhetoric Michael Russell Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2009 This thesis is dedicated to the memory of Professor Dietrich Scheunemann. ii Propaganda that stimulates thinking, in no matter what field, is useful to the cause of the oppressed. Bertolt Brecht, 1935. iii Abstract Most previous studies of Soviet montage cinema have concentrated on its aesthetic and technical aspects; however, montage cinema was essentially a rhetoric rather than an aesthetic of cinema. This thesis presents a com- parative study of the leading montage film-makers – Kuleshov, Pudovkin, Eisenstein and Vertov – comparing and contrasting the differing methods by which they used cinema to exert a rhetorical effect on the spectator for the purposes of political propaganda. The definitions of propaganda in general use in the study of Soviet montage cinema are too narrowly restrictive and a more nuanced definition is clearly needed. Furthermore, the role of the spectator in constituting the rhetorical effectivity of a montage film has been neglected; a psychoanalytic model of the way in which the filmic text can trigger a change in the spectator’s psyche is required. Moreover, the ideology of the Soviet montage films is generally assumed to exist only in their content, whereas in classical cinema ideology also operates at the level of the enunciation of the filmic text itself. The extent to which this is also true for Soviet montage cinema should be investigated. I have analysed the interaction between montage films and their specta- tors from multiple perspectives, using several distinct but complementary theoretical approaches, including recent theories of propaganda, a psycho- analytic model of rhetoric, Lacanian psychoanalysis and the theory of the system of the suture, and Peircean semiotics.

  • Kinocuban: the Significance of Soviet and East European Cinemas for the Cuban Moving
    KINOCUBAN The Significance of Soviet and East European Cinemas for The Cuban Moving Image Author: Vladimir Alexander Smith Mesa Degree Doctor of Philosophy University College London November 2011 1 I, Vladimir Alexander Smith Mesa, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract KinoCuban: The Significance of Soviet and East European Cinemas for the Cuban Moving Image examines a piece of evidence that has been misunderstood in the existing body of Cuban film studies. The first revolutionary legislation concerning the arts was the creation of the ICAIC in 1959, a fact that demonstrates the importance of cinema for the new cultural project. This thesis argues that the moving image was radically affected by the proclamation of the socialist character of the Revolution on 16 April 1961. What was it that the distant audiovisual culture, film theories and practices of the Soviet-bloc offered Cubans? Is it not the case that Soviet-bloc cinemas had an influence upon the shaping of the Cuban moving image, if one takes into consideration the very few films co-produced in 30 years? It should be stressed that during this period, the moving image was the direct or indirect effect of the different waves that arrived in Cuba from ‘the other’ Europe, which were born at the same time as the first films that were co-produced in the 1960s, particularly from the unique experience of Mikhail Kalatozov’s masterpiece Soy Cuba. The present study reveals that the most important outcome from that influence was the conceptualisation of the cinematic discourse of the Revolution, so well represented in ICAIC and its socialist films of commitment.

    Russian and Soviet Cinema in the Age of Revolution, 1917 – 1932 David Gariff Notes to accompany the film series Revolutionary Rising: Soviet Film Vanguard presented at the National Gallery of Art and American Film Institute Silver Theatre October 13 through November 20, 2017 nga.gov/film afi.com/silver Fridrikh Ermler, Fragment of an Empire, 1929 (Amkino Corporation /Photofest) Front: Dziga Vertov, Man with a Movie Camera, 1929 (Photofest) Of all the arts, for us, the cinema is the most important. — Attributed to Vladimir Lenin There are two kinds of art, bourgeois art and prole- tarian art. The first is an attempt to compensate for unsatisfied desires. The second is a preparation for social change . — Sergei Eisenstein We discover the souls of the machine, we are in love with the worker at his bench, we are in love with the farmer on his tractor, the engineer on his locomo- tive. We bring creative joy into every mechanical activity. We make peace between man and the machine. We educate the new man. — Dziga Vertov Vsevolod Pudovkin, Mother, 1926 (Photofest) 1 Russian and Soviet Cinema in the Age of Revolution, 1917 – 1932 he decade of the 1920s in Russian film is considered a golden age. Directors such as Vsevolod Pudovkin T(1893 – 1953), Aleksandr Dovzhenko (1894 – 1956), Dziga Vertov (1896 – 1954), and Sergei Eisenstein (1898 – 1948) contributed to a period of intense cultural achievement follow- ing the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. As with their counterparts in the other arts, including Wassily Kandinsky (1866 – 1944), Kazimir Malevich (1878 – 1935), Natalia Goncharova (1881 – 1962), Vladimir Tatlin (1885 – 1953), Antoine Pevsner (1886 – 1962), Naum Gabo (1890 – 1977), El Lissitzky (1890 – 1941), Alek- sandr Rodchenko (1891 – 1956), and Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893 – 1930), their desire to create a revolutionary art based on freedom and radical formal innovation was symptomatic of and in harmony with the goals of the new Russian state.
