  • Three Leading Italian Film-Makers Have Been Invited by the Museum of Modern Art
    m The Museum of Modern Art No. 50 FOR RELEASE: U West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 245-3200 Cable: Modernart Tuesday, April 8, I969 Three leading Italian film-makers have been invited by The Museum of Modern Art to address the American public, Willard Van Dyke, Director of the Department of Film, announced today. The directors are Bernardo Bertolucci, who will appear, 8:00 p.m., April 8th; Cesare Zavattini,scheduled to speak on May I3; and Marco Bellocchio,who will talk on June 10; specially chosen motion pictures will accompany the talks held in cooperation with the Istituto Italiano di Cultura. Programs start at 8:00 p.m. in the Museum Auditorium. The evening with Bernardo Bertolucci will include a preview of his most recent feature, "Partner" inspired by Dostoevski's "The Double." The picture,described by Bertolucci as "the story of a man who meets his own double," stars Pierre Clementi, who played the vile, sold-toothed anti-hero in "Belle de Jour." Bertolucci, a poet, at 22 made his second feature film "Before the Revolution," which received critical acclaim and created controversy. One critic, Roger Greenspun, wrote -- "the film draws directly upon Stendhal's 'Charter House of Parma;' in its mood and tone it draws perhaps as significantly upon Flaubert's 'Sentimental Education.' But in its meaning and in its particular kind of appreciation of all the life it observes, the picture stands by itself drawing essentially upon the sensibility and gift for under­ standing of the man who made it." The title, "Before the Revolution," derives from Talleyrand -- "only those who lived before the revolution knew how sweet life can be." The theme, reputedly auto­ biographical, deals with a young man's search to find his own values and discard the established ones of his respectable milieu.

  • An Interpretation of Some Unpublished in Situ and Recorded Rum Seljuk 13Th C. External and Internal Figural Relief Work on the Belkıs (Aspendos) Palace, Antalya
    GEPHYRA 8 2011 143–184 Terrance Michael Patrick DUGGAN An interpretation of some unpublished in situ and recorded Rum Seljuk 13th c. external and internal figural relief work on the Belkıs (Aspendos) Palace, Antalya Abstract: This article is divided into four parts. Firstly, it notes the precedent provided by the conversion of the Roman theatre at Bosra in Syria into an Ayyubid Palace, for the conversion of the Roman theater into the Rum Seljuk palace at Belkis–Aspendos and the known extensive use made of Syrian trained architects for important architectural projects by Rum Seljuk Sul- tans in the first half of the 13th c. Secondly, the two bands of Seljuk low relief depictions of fe- lines and a deer on a series of re–carved Roman limestone blocks on the exterior wall by the door leading to the southern köşk–pavilion erected above the parados and upon the lintel over this door, discovered by the author in 2007, extending over a length of nearly 10 m are de- scribed and the deliberate pecking of the surface of these low relief depictions it is suggested, was to provide bonding for applied painted stucco carved relief–work that completed this relief work on the exterior palace facade. The third section describes the painted Seljuk tympanum relief sculpture made of stucco plaster that concealed the Roman relief carving of Dionysus in the pediment of the sceanae frons in the 13th c. A sculptural relief depiction of a nude female figure which was fortunately recorded by Charles Texier early in the 19th c.

  • Di Cesare Zavattini
    L’ARCHIVIO CESARE ZAVATTINI L’acquisizione e la struttura Note a cura di Giorgio Boccolari Il ‘fondo’ di Cesare Zavattini (Luzzara, 1902 - Roma, 1989), figura d’intellettuale ed artista tra i maggiori del Ventesimo secolo, è una straordinaria raccolta documentaria che costituisce, per la vastità e complessità dei materiali in esso conservati, un caso a se stante nell’ambito degli ‘archivi di persona’. L’acquisizione del fondo Grazie alla sensibilità dei figli Arturo e Marco e ai rapporti che nel corso degli anni erano stati allacciati dallo scrittore luzzarese con intellettuali, artisti, amministratori pubblici ed uomini politici reggiani, l’archivio zavattiniano nel 2012 è stato definitivamente acquisito dall’Amministrazione comunale di Reggio Emilia e per essa dalla Biblioteca Panizzi.1 La lunga gestazione Un veloce e più approfondito exursus storico sulle origini della donazione riconduce alla mostra dei dipinti zavattiniani, curata da Renato Barilli che, organizzata dall’Amministrazione comunale reggiana col concorso della Regione, si tenne tra ottobre e novembre 1988 al Teatro Romolo Valli di Reggio Emilia. Con l’espressa volontà di Cesare Zavattini, i suoi figli avevano manifestato proprio durante l’inaugurazione, all’allora assessore alla cultura Giordano Gasparini, l’intenzione di cedere alla municipalità di Reggio l’archivio paterno. L’anno successivo (1989) subito dopo la scomparsa di Za gli stessi Arturo e Marco riconfermavano quella volontà. A sancire l’avvio ufficiale delle procedure di trasferimento dei materiali da Roma a Reggio Emilia fu una convenzione stipulata nel 1990 tra il Comune di Reggio Emilia, la Regione Emilia-Romagna e gli Eredi Zavattini. 2 Come interlocutore privilegiato, elemento di raccordo e fulcro della convenzione, venne indicato l’Istituto per i beni culturali e, segnatamente, l’allora soprintendente ai beni librari e documentari, Nazareno Pisauri.

  • Music and History in Italian Film Melodrama, 1940-2010
    Between Soundtrack and Performance: Music and History in Italian Film Melodrama, 1940-2010 By Marina Romani A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Italian Studies and the Designated Emphasis in Film Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Barbara Spackman, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Linda Williams Professor Mia Fuller Summer 2015 Abstract Between Soundtrack and Performance: Music and History in Italian Film Melodrama, 1940-2010 by Marina Romani Doctor of Philosophy in Italian Studies and the Designated Emphasis in Film Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Barbara Spackman, Chair Melodrama manifests itself in a variety of forms – as a film and theatre practice, as a discursive category, as a mode of imagination. This dissertation discusses film melodrama in its visual, gestural, and aural manifestations. My focus is on the persistence of melodrama and the traces it leaves on post-World War II Italian cinema: from the Neorealist canon of the 1940s to works that engage with the psychological and physical, private, and collective traumas after the experience of a totalitarian regime (Cavani’s Il portiere di notte, 1974), to postmodern Viscontian experiments set in a 21st-century capitalist society (Guadagnino’s Io sono l’amore, 2009). The aural dimension is fundamental as an opening to the epistemology of each film. I pay particular attention to the presence of operatic music – as evoked directly or through semiotic displacement involving the film’s aesthetic and expressive figures – and I acknowledge the existence of a long legacy of practical and imaginative influences, infiltrations and borrowings between the screen and the operatic stage in the Italian cinematographic tradition.

    From Real Time to Reel Time: The Films of John Schlesinger A study of the change from objective realism to subjective reality in British cinema in the 1960s By Desmond Michael Fleming Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2011 School of Culture and Communication Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne Produced on Archival Quality Paper Declaration This is to certify that: (i) the thesis comprises only my original work towards the PhD, (ii) due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other material used, (iii) the thesis is fewer than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, maps, bibliographies and appendices. Abstract The 1960s was a period of change for the British cinema, as it was for so much else. The six feature films directed by John Schlesinger in that decade stand as an exemplar of what those changes were. They also demonstrate a fundamental change in the narrative form used by mainstream cinema. Through a close analysis of these films, A Kind of Loving, Billy Liar, Darling, Far From the Madding Crowd, Midnight Cowboy and Sunday Bloody Sunday, this thesis examines the changes as they took hold in mainstream cinema. In effect, the thesis establishes that the principal mode of narrative moved from one based on objective realism in the tradition of the documentary movement to one which took a subjective mode of narrative wherein the image on the screen, and the sounds attached, were not necessarily a record of the external world. The world of memory, the subjective world of the mind, became an integral part of the narrative.

Everything that was directly lived has moved away into representation” (thesis 1). The opening of Debord’s book aptly describes what occurs in Matteo Garrone’s 2012 filmReality whose protagonist, an exuberant fishmonger by the name of Luciano Ciotola, becomes obsessed with his participation in the reality TV show Big Brother to the point that his entire life turns into a spectacle.
