American International Pictures (AIP) Est Une Société De Production Et American International Pictures (AIP) est une société de production et distribution américaine, fondée en 1956 depuis "American Releasing Corporation" (en 1955) par James H. Nicholson et Samuel Z. Arkoff, dédiée à la production de films indépendants à petits budgets, principalement à destination des adolescents des années 50, 60 et 70. 1 Né à Fort Dodge, Iowa à une famille juive russe, Arkoff a d'abord étudié pour être avocat. Il va s’associer avec James H. Nicholson et le producteur-réalisateur Roger Corman, avec lesquels il produira dix-huit films. Dans les années 1950, lui et Nicholson fondent l'American Releasing Corporation, qui deviendra plus tard plus connue sous le nom American International Pictures et qui produira plus de 125 films avant la disparition de l'entreprise dans les années 1980. Ces films étaient pour la plupart à faible budget, avec une production achevée en quelques jours. Arkoff est également crédité du début de genres cinématographiques, comme le Parti Beach et les films de motards, enfin sa société jouera un rôle important pour amener le film d'horreur à un niveau important avec Blacula, I Was a Teenage Werewolf et Le Chose à deux têtes. American International Pictures films engage très souvent de grands acteurs dans les rôles principaux, tels que Boris Karloff, Elsa Lanchester et Vincent Price, ainsi que des étoiles montantes qui, plus tard deviendront très connus comme Don Johnson, Nick Nolte, Diane Ladd, et Jack Nicholson. Un certain nombre d'acteurs rejetées ou 2 négligées par Hollywood dans les années 1960 et 1970, comme Bruce Dern et Dennis Hopper, trouvent du travail dans une ou plusieurs productions d’Arkoff. Le film le plus réussi financièrement restera l'adaptation du livre de Jay Anson Amityville la maison du diable en 1979. Arkoff a commencé sa carrière à Hollywood en tant que producteur de l'émission Hank McCune, un sitcom produit en 1951. En 2000, Arkoff fut une véritable vedette aux côtés d'anciens collaborateurs comme Roger Corman, Dick Miller et Peter Bogdanovich dans le Schlock documentaire qui retraçait les périodes de ces films. Arkoff décèdera en 2001, quelques semaines après la mort de sa femme. 3 James Harvey Nicholson (14 Septembre 1916, AI Décembre 10, 1972) était un producteur de film américain. Il est surtout connu comme le co-fondateur, avec Samuel Z. Arkoff, de l'American International 4 Pictures. Enfant, Nicholson a développé un amour du cinéma, de la fantaisie et en particulier des films de science-fiction. Au lycée, il a rejoint un club de fans de science-fiction, où il a rencontré Forrest J Ackerman. Les deux amis produisent un fanzine fantasy ensemble. Des années plus tard, Ackerman, AOS magazine Famous Monsters of Filmland vont fortement promouvoir les films de l’AIP. Nicholson, a été tout d’abord directeur de deux théâtres à Omaha, Nebraska. La chaîne qui possédait les théâtres connaît des problèmes et Nicholson se retrouve au chômage. Il a fait toute une série d'emplois de courte durée. Finalement il est embauché par RealArt Photos dans leur service de publicité; son travail était de concevoir de nouvelles campagnes pour les vieux films que RealArt réédite. Une menace d'un procès d'Alex Gordon, au sujet d'une similitude entre le titre l'un des RealArt, rééditions et un scénario qu’il avait écrit avec Ed Wood avec exactement le même titre, a conduit à Nicholson à rencontrer Samuel Z. Arkoff, qui était à ce moment là l’avocat de Gordon. Nicholson et Arkoff devenus amis décident de former une société de 5 distribution de film ensemble. Le nom de la société américaine sera Releasing Corporation, qui changera son nom pour American International Pictures quelques années plus tard. Son sens du film, combiné avec Arkoff, qui a le sens des affaires a conduit l'AIP, à une longue série de films à succès qui vise un public adolescent. De 1954 à 1980, l'AIP a tourné plus de 125 films. Nicholson pense souvent à un titre à une campagne publicitaire complète avec l'affiche, avant même qu’un script ait été rédigé. Les films sont achevés avec un budget serré, avec des tournages en deux ou trois semaines (parfois même quelques jours), cela dit tous les films font d’excellentes recettes. Nicholson est décédé brutalement en 1972 d'une tumeur au cerveau. AIP a continué pendant plusieurs années avant qu’Arkoff, accepte de se faire racheter par Filmways pour 4,3 millions de dollars. Les réalisateurs, scénaristes et producteurs qui ont travaillé pour le studio : Roger Corman, Lou Place, John Ireland (acteur), William Asher, Edward L. Bernds, 6 Edward L. Cahn, Herbert L.

  • Extreme Art Film: Text, Paratext and DVD Culture Simon Hobbs
    Extreme Art Film: Text, Paratext and DVD Culture Simon Hobbs The thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth. September 2014 Declaration Whilst registered as a candidate for the above degree, I have not been registered for any other research award. The results and conclusions embodied in this thesis are the work of the named candidate and have not been submitted for any other academic award. Word count: 85,810 Abstract Extreme art cinema, has, in recent film scholarship, become an important area of study. Many of the existing practices are motivated by a Franco-centric lens, which ultimately defines transgressive art cinema as a new phenomenon. The thesis argues that a study of extreme art cinema needs to consider filmic production both within and beyond France. It also argues that it requires an historical analysis, and I contest the notion that extreme art cinema is a recent mode of Film production. The study considers extreme art cinema as inhabiting a space between ‘high’ and ‘low’ art forms, noting the slippage between the two often polarised industries. The study has a focus on the paratext, with an analysis of DVD extras including ‘making ofs’ and documentary featurettes, interviews with directors, and cover sleeves. This will be used to examine audience engagement with the artefacts, and the films’ position within the film market. Through a detailed assessment of the visual symbols used throughout the films’ narrative images, the thesis observes the manner in which they engage with the taste structures and pictorial templates of art and exploitation cinema.

  • Why Call Them "Cult Movies"? American Independent Filmmaking and the Counterculture in the 1960S Mark Shiel, University of Leicester, UK
    Why Call them "Cult Movies"? American Independent Filmmaking and the Counterculture in the 1960s Mark Shiel, University of Leicester, UK Preface In response to the recent increased prominence of studies of "cult movies" in academic circles, this essay aims to question the critical usefulness of that term, indeed the very notion of "cult" as a way of talking about cultural practice in general. My intention is to inject a note of caution into that current discourse in Film Studies which valorizes and celebrates "cult movies" in particular, and "cult" in general, by arguing that "cult" is a negative symptom of, rather than a positive response to, the social, cultural, and cinematic conditions in which we live today. The essay consists of two parts: firstly, a general critique of recent "cult movies" criticism; and, secondly, a specific critique of the term "cult movies" as it is sometimes applied to 1960s American independent biker movies -- particularly films by Roger Corman such as The Wild Angels (1966) and The Trip (1967), by Richard Rush such as Hell's Angels on Wheels (1967), The Savage Seven, and Psych-Out (both 1968), and, most famously, Easy Rider (1969) directed by Dennis Hopper. Of course, no-one would want to suggest that it is not acceptable to be a "fan" of movies which have attracted the label "cult". But this essay begins from a position which assumes that the business of Film Studies should be to view films of all types as profoundly and positively "political", in the sense in which Fredric Jameson uses that adjective in his argument that all culture and every cultural object is most fruitfully and meaningfully understood as an articulation of the "political unconscious" of the social and historical context in which it originates, an understanding achieved through "the unmasking of cultural artifacts as socially symbolic acts" (Jameson, 1989: 20).

  • Television Sharknados and Twitter Storms
    Television Sharknados and Twitter Storms: Cult Film Fan Practices in the Age of Social Media Branding Stephen William Hay A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the regulations for the degree of Master of Arts in Media Studies Victoria University of Wellington 2016 Abstract This thesis examines the Syfy channel’s broadcast of the television movie Sharknado and the large number of tweets that were sent about it. Sharknado’s audience engaged in cult film viewing practices that can be understood using paracinema theory. Paracinema engagement with cult films has traditionally taken place in midnight screenings in independent movie theatres and private homes. Syfy’s audience was able to engage in paracinematic activity that included making jokes about Sharknado’s low quality of production and interacting with others who were doing the same through the affordances of Twitter. In an age where branding has become increasingly important, Syfy clearly benefited from all the fan activity around its programming. Critical branding theory argues that the value generated by a business’s brand comes from the labour of consumers. Brand management is mostly about encouraging and managing consumer labour. The online shift of fan practices has created new opportunities for brand managers to subsume the activities of consumers. Cult film audience practices often have an emphasis on creatively and collectively engaging in rituals and activities around a text. These are the precise qualities that brands require from their consumers. Sharknado was produced and marketed by Syfy to invoke the cult film subculture as part of Syfy’s branding strategy.

  • The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960S
    The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s By Zachary Saltz University of Kansas, Copyright 2011 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts ________________________________ Dr. Michael Baskett ________________________________ Dr. Chuck Berg Date Defended: 19 April 2011 ii The Thesis Committee for Zachary Saltz certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts Date approved: 19 April 2011 iii ABSTRACT The Green Sheet was a bulletin created by the Film Estimate Board of National Organizations, and featured the composite movie ratings of its ten member organizations, largely Protestant and represented by women. Between 1933 and 1969, the Green Sheet was offered as a service to civic, educational, and religious centers informing patrons which motion pictures contained potentially offensive and prurient content for younger viewers and families. When the Motion Picture Association of America began underwriting its costs of publication, the Green Sheet was used as a bartering device by the film industry to root out municipal censorship boards and legislative bills mandating state classification measures. The Green Sheet underscored tensions between film industry executives such as Eric Johnston and Jack Valenti, movie theater owners, politicians, and patrons demanding more integrity in monitoring changing film content in the rapidly progressive era of the 1960s. Using a system of symbolic advisory ratings, the Green Sheet set an early precedent for the age-based types of ratings the motion picture industry would adopt in its own rating system of 1968.
