Realidade Perturbada: choques corporais, espectros domésticos e a tecnofobia da vigilância no found footage de horror. Tese de Doutorado em Comunicação – Instituto de Artes e Comunicação Social, Universidade Federal Fluminense, Niterói, 2016. Esta tese investiga alguns filmes do subgênero found footage de horror produzidos após os atentados terroristas de 11/09, principalmente seus reflexos nos domínios do corpo, da família e do lar, da vigilância e do exibicionismo. Tais domínios foram se conjugando cada vez mais ao horror durante o desenvolvimento da modernidade urbana, em especial no que tange as fobias e ansiedades despertadas social, política e culturalmente pelo progresso moderno – espólios ressaltados ainda pelos conflitos e guerras contemporâneas. Corpo, família e vigilância estão sensacionalmente atrelados entre si e o found footage de horror incorpora e materializa estas propriedades em suas narrativas. Visando formatar visibilidades íntimas através do controle do ponto de vista conferido às famílias e ao amador pela mídia digital, o found footage de horror ressuscita assim figuras de alteridade e convenções estilísticas do horror por meio do poder de visibilidade adquirido pelo indivíduo. Com a decorrente disputa pelo poder de visibilidade entre agentes emergentes e tradicionais do campo midiático, o found footage de horror direciona seus medos ao uso cotidiano das tecnologias digitais de mídia, fomentando então uma tecnofobia.

Realidade Perturbada: choques corporais, espectros domésticos e a tecnofobia da vigilância no found footage de horror. PhD. Thesis in Communication – Instituto de Artes e Comunicação Social, Universidade Federal Fluminense, Niterói, 2016. This thesis investigates some movies of the found footage horror film subgenre produced after the terrorists attacks of 09/11, especially its reflexes in the domains of the body, the family and the home, the surveillance and the exhibitionism. Such domains have been increasingly combining to the horror during the development of urban modernity, in particular regarding phobias and anxieties stirred social, political and culturally by modern progress – spoils highlighted by contemporary conflicts and wars. Body, family and surveillance are sensationally tied to each other and the found footage horror film embodies and materializes these properties in its narratives. Targeting to format intimate visibilities through the point of view control given to the families and to the amateur by the digital media, the found footage horror film resurrects alterity figures and stylistic conventions of horror through the power of visibility acquired by the individual. With the resulting dispute for the visibility power between emerging and traditional agents of the media field, the found footage horror film directs his fears to the everyday use of digital media technologies, fostering then a technophobia.

  • Cinema of Mike Ott
    JUMP CUT A REVIEW OF CONTEMPORARY MEDIA copyright 2018, Jump Cut: A Review of Contemporary Media Jump Cut, No. 58, winter, 2017-2018 Small form films: the (non-)cinema of Mike Ott By Robert Campbell Since graduating from the California Institute of the Arts, where he studied, inter alia, under Thom Andersen and James Benning, Mike Ott has prolifically been making feature films as well as shorts and music videos on tiny budgets. Indeed, he has shot seven features in little over a decade, including his graduation film Analog Days (2006), the documentary Kid Icarus (with Carl Bird McLaughlin, 2008), a series of three films called LiTTLEROCK (2010), Pearblossom Hwy (2012) and Lake Los Angeles (2014), which are referred to collectively as the Antelope Valley trilogy, Actor Martinez (with Nathan Silver, USA, 2016) and California Dreams (2017). Between them, these films have won various awards, including at the Montréal Festival of New Cinema, the Cleveland International Film Festival, the AFI Fest and the Independent Spirit Awards. LiTTLEROCK, Pearblossom Hwy, Lake Los Angeles and Actor Martinez are all available on Amazon Video/Amazon Prime, while LiTTLEROCK is also distributed on DVD by Kino Lorber, and Actor Martinez by Breaking Glass Pictures. A short, Lancaster, CA (2015), was in 2016 distributed on MUBI. Meanwhile, at time of writing California Dreams continues its festival run after premiering as part of the Critics’ Week at the Berlin Film Festival in February 2017 and having its first screening in North America at the SXSW Film Festival in March —with esteemed film critic Richard Brody also naming Actor Martinez among his top films of 2017 in The New Yorker.[1] [open notes in new window] Making films set in locales about fifty miles from Hollywood, Ott uses the film industry and Hollywood style as an implicit reference in most of his films, but primarily in the sense that his own style is in a way counter- Hollywood.

  • American Movie Discussion Guide
    www.influencefilmclub.com American Movie Discussion Guide Director: Chris Smith Year: 1999 Time: 107 min You might know this director from: Collapse (2009) The Pool (2007) The Yes Men (2003) Home Movie (2001) American Job (1996) FILM SUMMARY Upon first meeting outside the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s film department, Mark Borchardt and director Chris Smith were both struggling artists, aspiring filmmakers tirelessly toiling to translate their creative vision onto screen. Smith sensed something spectacular about Borchardt, something utterly unadulterated and pure in his quest for his art. Feeling curious and inspired, Smith followed the aspiring filmmaker over the course of two years in his Midwestern hometown, capturing the ins-and-outs of his totally real, totally quirky life on the medium they both loved best. And so AMERICAN MOVIE transpires. Working within the horror film genre, Borchardt - a 30-year living at home with his parents, who drinks regularly and is falling behind on child support payments for his three young children, who spends as much time coercing his withered old Uncle Bill to finance his film career as he does working to pay off his debts - is dead set on finishing his first short, “Coven,” before embarking on his masterpiece, “Northwestern.” A lover of films since childhood and deeply knowledgeable on the technicalities of filmmaking, Borchardt makes for an enthusiastic director. Enlisting the help of friends, family, and whatever extras his humble staff can scrape up, Borchardt and team complete 30-minute horror short “Coven” just as the 107-minute tragi-comedy AMERICAN MOVIE reaches its own conclusion.

I demonstrate how the widely circulated narrative that any ordinary person can become famous on YouTube created the ideal setting for Hall’s Midwest shtick to attain fame. Further, I show how Hall campily and deliberately embodies Midwestern stereotypes in order to make fun of the representations of the region as an historic, forgotten one. Building on that, I assert that Hall queers the Midwest by juxtaposing the tacky and the ordinary, giving voice to Midwestern queerness and pushing back against the Hollywood glamour of mainstream gay iconicity. Building on my discussion of the ways in which Hall queers the Midwest and pushes against the region’s alleged heteronormativity, I explore how Hall’s work reveals the relationship between fatness and monstrosity in American society, and utilizes this association in order to call attention to it. In so doing, Hall paints a new picture of the Midwest in which it is queer, famous, and monstrous.

  • Metacinematic Gestures
    METACINEMATIC GESTURES AN INVESTIGATION OF THE PRODUCTIONIST ASPECT OF SELF-REFLEXIVE FILMS Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy At the University of Leicester By Matteo Ciccognani School of Business University of Leicester January 2018 ABSTRACT The thesis focuses on the dilemmas raised by self-reflexive filmmaking through the scrutiny of different metacinematic gestures. This thesis presents a definition of metacinematic gesture as a film segment which exhibits the mediality of cinema and opens up a discourse on its technical, linguistic and organisational implications. This definition and its attendant reflections are the result of a critical understanding of the notion of gesture for Giorgio Agamben and Walter Benjamin. Subsequently, I propose a grid of intelligibility of different categories for metacinematic gestures: Referential, Realist, Surrealist, Experimental, the Look into the Camera and Productionist. This classification contributes to fill the theoretical gaps within Film Studies literature about metacinema and narrows down the category that this research explores: the productionist. Productionist metafilms expand and reflect on the processual dimension of filmmaking to the extent that the frontstage of production might be said to coincide, or tend to coincide, with its own backstage. In fact, it is proposed that productionist metafilms serve to reveal and construct a self-reflexive form of directorial subjectivity through the acknowledgement of some specific strategic choices operated on the set. But, the emergence of these subjectivities is mostly influenced by the material conditions of production, the budget, the film crew, the environmental conditions or the limits set by the screenplay. So, the main contribution of this research is to provide a new theorisation of self- reflexivity in films with particular focus on the productionist aspect of metacinema.
