  • BAM Presents NYC Horror, Oct 31—Nov 5, a Series of New York Nightmares
    BAM presents NYC Horror, Oct 31—Nov 5, a series of New York nightmares October 3, 2019/Brooklyn, NY—From Thursday, October 31 through Tuesday, November 5, BAM presents NYC Horror, a series that explores the terrors, both supernatural and quotidian, of life in New York City. The series begins with Michael Almereyda’s downtown vampire film, Nadja (1994), which blends poetic horror and deadpan comedy, accompanied by lustrous black-and-white cinematography and a dreamy soundtrack featuring My Bloody Valentine and Portishead. Other films include Bill Gun’s visionary, avant- garde mélange of vampire tales and Afrocentric mythologies Ganja & Hess (1973), which filmed at the Brooklyn Museum; Brian De Palma’s Staten Island-set, lurid psychosexual thriller Sisters (1973); Mary Harron’s controversial, bloody satire of Wall Street greed and white male privilege American Psycho (2000); Michael Winner’s satanism-in-Brooklyn shocker The Sentinel (1977); Larry Cohen’s subversive, sci-fi portrait of society gone mad God Told Me To (1976), as well as his Q (1982), the director’s homage to Ray Harryhausen-style creature-features; and Michael Wadleigh’s werewolf flick-cum-gentrification critique Wolfen (1981). The series continues with Mark Robson and B-movie producer extraordinaire Val Lewton’s Greenwich Village-set The Seventh Victim (1943), one of the most haunting, transgressive horror films of Hollywood’s Golden Age; the Wes Craven-directed Eddie Murphy cult comedy Vampire in Brooklyn (1995); George P. Cosmatos’ darkly relatable tale of man-versus-rat, Of Unknown Origin (1983); writer- director-producer-star James Bond III’s stylish monster horror Def by Temptation (1990), shot by legendary cinematographer Ernest Dickerson; and cult auteur Larry Fessenden’s portrait of alcoholic paranoia and emotional (and possibly literal) vampirism, Habit (1995).

  • Screams on Screens: Paradigms of Horror
    Screams on Screens: Paradigms of Horror Barry Keith Grant Brock University [email protected] Abstract This paper offers a broad historical overview of the ideology and cultural roots of horror films. The genre of horror has been an important part of film history from the beginning and has never fallen from public popularity. It has also been a staple category of multiple national cinemas, and benefits from a most extensive network of extra-cinematic institutions. Horror movies aim to rudely move us out of our complacency in the quotidian world, by way of negative emotions such as horror, fear, suspense, terror, and disgust. To do so, horror addresses fears that are both universally taboo and that also respond to historically and culturally specific anxieties. The ideology of horror has shifted historically according to contemporaneous cultural anxieties, including the fear of repressed animal desires, sexual difference, nuclear warfare and mass annihilation, lurking madness and violence hiding underneath the quotidian, and bodily decay. But whatever the particular fears exploited by particular horror films, they provide viewers with vicarious but controlled thrills, and thus offer a release, a catharsis, of our collective and individual fears. Author Keywords Genre; taboo; ideology; mythology. Introduction Insofar as both film and videogames are visual forms that unfold in time, there is no question that the latter take their primary inspiration from the former. In what follows, I will focus on horror films rather than games, with the aim of introducing video game scholars and gamers to the rich history of the genre in the cinema. I will touch on several issues central to horror and, I hope, will suggest some connections to videogames as well as hints for further reflection on some of their points of convergence.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

  • Here We Are on the 200Th Anniversary of His Classic Story, Celebrating His Legacy of Artistic Inspiration and Achievement at the Nexus of the Tale Itself
    WELCOME 1ST ANNUAL SLEEPY HOLLOW INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL Could Washington Irving have predicted the enduring impact “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” would have on the world when it was published in 1819? Perhaps not. And yet here we are on the 200th anniversary of his classic story, celebrating his legacy of artistic inspiration and achievement at the nexus of the tale itself. The Sleepy Hollow International Film Festival is a celebration of cinematic and literary-themed wonders—a one-of-a-kind combination of film premieres, exclusive screenings, live events, scripts in competition as well as special guests, panels and much more, all taking place in the historic Hudson Valley during its magical, and wildly popular, Halloween season. All of us with SHIFF are thrilled to welcome you to be part of history with this first-ever large-scale genre film festival in Westchester County, NY, in one of the most famous locations in the entire world. We extend a special thanks to the fine folk, governments and associations of Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown, the wondrous Tarrytown Music Hall and Warner Library, who proudly keep the spirit of Irving alive each and every day. So, for the next four days, revel in the inception of a new legend here in the Hollow. Enjoy, and let the bewitching begin! —The SHIFF Team Co-Founder/Director, Business Affairs DAVE NORRIS Advisory Board Lead Programmer DAN McKEON CHRIS POGGIALI FREDERICK K.

  • WESTERN FILMS Page 1 of 20
    WESTERN FILMS Page 1 of 20 WESTERN FILMS Western Films or Westerns are the major defining genre of the American film industry, a nostaligic eulogy to the early days of the expansive, untamed American frontier (the borderline between civilization and the wilderness). They are one of the oldest, most enduring and flexible genres and one of the most characteristically American genres in their mythic origins. [The popularity of westerns has waxed and waned over the years. Their most prolific era was in the 1930s to the 1960s, and most recently in the 90s, there was a resurgence of the genre. This indigenous American art form focuses on the frontier West that existed in North America. Westerns are often set on the American frontier during the last part of the 19th century (1865-1900) following the Civil War, in a geographically western (trans-Mississippi) setting with romantic, sweeping frontier landscapes or rugged rural terrain. However, Westerns may extend back to the time of America's colonial period or forward to the mid-20th century, or as far geographically as Mexico. A number of westerns use the Civil War, the Battle of the Alamo (1836) or the Mexican Revolution (1910) as a backdrop. The western film genre often portrays the conquest of the wilderness and the subordination of nature, in the name of civilization, or the confiscation of the territorial rights of the original inhabitants of the frontier. Specific settings include lonely isolated forts, ranch houses, the isolated homestead, the saloon, the jail, the livery stable, the small-town main street, or small frontier towns that are forming at the edges of civilization.
