  • Brechtian Cinemas: Montage and Theatricality in Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet, Peter Watkins and Lars Von Trier
    Brechtian Cinemas: Montage and Theatricality in Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet, Peter Watkins and Lars von Trier by Nenad Jovanovic A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Centre for Study of Drama University of Toronto © Copyright by Nenad Jovanovic 2011 Abstract Brechtian Cinemas: Montage and Theatricality in Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet, Peter Watkins and Lars von Trier Nenad Jovanovic, Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (2011) Graduate Centre for Study of Drama, University of Toronto In this dissertation I investigate the stylistic shift in the cinema of selected filmmakers whose work is rooted in Bertolt Brecht’s dramatic theory: Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet, Peter Watkins, and Lars von Trier. Through the work of these filmmakers, I trace the ongoing change in the cinematic applications of the theory. By and large, the change consists of a lessening of the role of montage – a technique that occupies a paramount place in Brecht’s theatrical and filmic practice – in favour of the objects within the camera’s field of view and the sounds within the microphone’s range. Since the ultimate effect for which the Brechtian filmmaker aims is that of Verfremdung , theatrical stylisation – itself estranging within the context of cinema – appears as a natural corollary of the described shift in emphasis. I also suggest a causal connection between the aforementioned shift and the growing self-consciousness of the style employed by meainstream cinemas (of which Hollywood is the foremost representative), which often manifests itself in the use of unorthodox editing patterns.

  • The Films of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet
    The Films of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet Complete Retrospective March – June 2019 1 wvv Welcome The work of Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub is considered to be one of the most unparalleled and remarkable oeuvres of modern cinema. It is therefore with great pleasure that the Goethe-Institut London presents the first complete retrospective of their work in the UK. Over a period of three months, screenings of their films across different London venues and accompanying events will provide the opportunity to recognise the scope of their achievement and to discover different routes into their aesthetics and political concerns. Introductions, workshops and special presentations throughout the retrospective will allow to explore their films anew and revisit some of the literature, music and art on which their films are based. The Goethe-Institut London has long been committed to showing the work of Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub. They were our guests in 1990 during a series of selected screenings and 2015 saw the London premiere of new works by Jean-Marie Straub at the Goethe-Institut London. There have been recent major retrospectives worldwide, including at MoMA, Centre Pompidou and Akademie der Künste Berlin. The interest generated by these screenings as well as new publications about their work in English have allowed the films to become more available. We are most grateful to BELVA Film for helping us to present the films in new digital restorations and, wherever feasible, as new 35mm prints to experience the work

Their vast filmography is as diverse as the material that served as the bases of many of their narratives, including writings by Brecht, Hölderlin, Duras, Kafka, Pavese and Vittorini, as well as music by Bach and Schoenberg. Straub and Huillet often reinterpreted forgotten or overlooked classical works, investing them with a renewed polemical relevance. Their films bring stories of class struggle and resistance to the surface, examining post-war power relations and offering a critique of capitalism throughout history and across linguistic and territorial borders. Created with intense rigor, beauty and political commitment, each of their deeply inventive films demands our full attention at every moment, presenting cinema as something both surprising and necessary. Straub and Huillet’s films reflect the couple’s creativity and generosity, their solidarity with their collaborators, and their respect for language and nature. Critic Louis Séguin wrote that Straub and Huillet “belong to a non-hierarchical and frontierless clan of rebels, stateless persons and social misfits, and the challenge of their cinema matches this permanent irreducibility.” 88 Eldridge Street / 36 Orchard Street, New York, NY 10002 • 212.995.1774 • fax 646.688.2302 88 Eldridge [email protected] / 36 Orchard Street, New York, • www.miguelabreugallery.comNY 10002 • 212.995.1774 • fax 646.688.2302 [email protected] • www.miguelabreugallery.com MACHORKA-MUFF 1963, West Germany, 35 mm, B&W, 1.37:1, 18 min.
