    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

This thrillingly original and well-argued book brings a shot of energy to studies of documentary cinema, film theory, and the philos ophy of Gilles Deleuze.

  • Title of Dissertation
    SETTING UP CAMP: IDENTIFYING CAMP THROUGH THEME AND STRUCTURE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Michael T. Schuyler January, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Cornelius B. Pratt, Advisory Chair, Strategic Communication John A. Lent, Broadcasting, Telecommunications & Mass Media Paul Swann, Film & Media Arts Roberta Sloan, External Member, Theater i © Copyright 2010 by Michael T. Schuyler All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT Camp scholarship remains vague. While academics don’t shy away from writing about this form, most exemplify it more than define it. Some even refuse to define it altogether, arguing that any such attempt causes more problems than it solves. So, I ask the question, can we define camp via its structure, theme and character types? After all, we can do so for most other genres, such as the slasher film, the situation comedy or even the country song; therefore, if camp relies upon identifiable character types and proliferates the same theme repeatedly, then, it exists as a narrative system. In exploring this, I find that, as a narrative system, though, camp doesn’t add to the dominant discursive system. Rather, it exists in opposition to it, for camp disseminates the theme that those outside of heteronormativity and acceptability triumph not in spite of but because of what makes them “different,” “othered” or “marginalized.” Camp takes many forms. So, to demonstrate its reliance upon a certain structure, stock character types and a specific theme, I look at the overlaps between seemingly disperate examples of this phenomenon.

  • Constantine's Sword HV PK
    James Carroll’s CONSTANTINE’S SWORD A film by Oren Jacoby 96 minutes, color & b/w, 2007 FIRST RUN FEATURES The Film Center Building 630 Ninth Ave. #1213 New York, NY 10036 (212) 243-0600 / Fax (212) 989-7649 www.firstrunfeatures.com www.constantinessword.com SYNOPSIS CONSTANTINE'S SWORD is the latest film by Oscar-nominated director Oren Jacoby (Sister Rose's Passion) and is based on the best-selling book by James Carroll, a National Book Award winner and columnist for the Boston Globe. Carroll is a practicing Catholic whose search for the truth leads him to confront persecution and violence in the name of God – today and in the Church’s past. He discovers a terrible legacy that reverberates across the centuries: from the Emperor Constantine’s vision of the cross as a sword and symbol of power, to the rise of genocidal anti-Semitism, to modern day wars sparked by religious extremism. At its heart, CONSTANTINE’S SWORD is a detective story, as Carroll journeys into his own past (his father was a U.S. Air Force General who helped prepare for nuclear war) and into the wider world, where he uncovers evidence of church-sanctioned violence against non-Christians. At the Air Force Academy, he and Jacoby expose how some evangelicals are proselytizing inside our country's armed forces and reveal the dangerous consequences of religious influence on American foreign policy. Warning of what happens when military power and religious fervor are joined, this timely film asks the question: is the fanaticism that threatens the world today fueled by our own deeply held beliefs? DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT We’re living in a world at war.

  • The Choreographies of Ananya Chatterjea and David Roussève a Thesis Su
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Lived Experience: The Choreographies of Ananya Chatterjea and David Roussève A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in Culture and Performance by Alessandra Lebea Williams 2013 © Copyright by Alessandra Lebea Williams 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Lived Experience: The Choreographies of Ananya Chatterjea and David Roussève by Alessandra Lebea Williams Master of Arts in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Allen Fraleigh Roberts, Chair This paper shows how Ananya Chatterjea and David Roussève reinterpret their lived experiences to create choreographies about the politics of diaspora on the concert dance stage. I examine how Chatterjea’s reconstruction of “classical” Indian dance forms becomes the artistic foundation of her company Ananya Dance Theatre. I analyze how Roussève reinterprets an African American blues music “tradition” to construct the thematic framework of his company REALITY. As their choreographies cross boundaries of culture, race, nation, and sexuality, I argue that their work reveals the complex histories of diasporic communities. Additionally, this paper uses the autoethnographic method to discuss how these choreographers helped me to analyze cross- cultural engagement as a collective inquiry into lived experiences. A video of the performance I created from this particular research is included as supplementary material. ii The thesis of Alessandra Lebea Williams is approved. Shana Redmond Mary Nooter Roberts David Delgado Shorter Allen Fraleigh Roberts, Committee Chair University of California, Los Angeles 2013 iii To my mother, family, and teachers: I am filled with gratitude. I hope that I make you proud.

He earned this distinguished reputation by being the first to make non- fiction feature films—films in which the drama of human life unfolds as it is, without scripts, sets or narration. Personal Statement Born in Boston of Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, Albert received his B.A. at Syracuse and his M.A. at Boston University where he taught psychology for three years. He made the transition from psychol- ogy to film in the summer of 1955 by taking a 16mm camera to Russia to film patients at several mental hos- pitals.
