  • The Films of Ingmar Bergman: Centennial Celebration!
    The Films of Ingmar Bergman: Centennial Celebration! Swedish filmmaker, author, and film director Ingmar Bergman was born in 1918, so this year will be celebrated in Sweden and around the world by those who have been captivated by his work. Bergman belongs to a group of filmmakers who were hailed as "auteurs" (authors) in the 1960s by French, then American film critics, and his work was part of a wave of "art cinema," a form that elevated "movies" to "films." In this course we will analyze in detail six films by Bergman and read short pieces by Bergman and scholars. We will discuss the concept of film authorship, Bergman's life and work, and his cinematic world. Note: some of the films to be screened contain emotionally or physically disturbing content. The films listed below should be viewed BEFORE the scheduled OLLI class. All films will be screened at the PFA Osher Theater on Wednesdays at 3-5pm, the day before the class lecture on that film. Screenings are open to the public for the usual PFA admission. All films are also available in DVD format (for purchase on Amazon and other outlets or often at libraries) or on- line through such services as FilmStruck (https://www.filmstruck.com/us/) or, in some cases, on YouTube (not as reliable). Films Week 1: 9/27 Wild Strawberries (1957, 91 mins) NOTE: screening at PFA Weds 9/25 Week 2: 10/4 The Virgin Spring (1960, 89 mins) Week 3: 10/11 Winter Light (1963, 80 mins) Week 4: 10/18 The Silence (1963, 95 mins) Week 5: 10/25 Persona (1966, 85 mins) Week 6: 11/1 Hour of the Wolf (1968, 90 mins)

  • New China's Forgotten Cinema, 1949–1966
    NEW CHINA’S FORGOTTEN CINEMA, 1949–1966 More Than Just Politics by Greg Lewis Several years ago when planning a course on modern Chinese history as seen through its cinema, I realized or saw a significant void. I hoped to represent each era of Chinese cinema from the Leftist movement of the 1930s to the present “Sixth Generation,” but found most available subtitled films are from the post-1978 reform period. Films from the Mao Zedong period (1949–76) are particularly scarce in the West due to Cold War politics, including a trade embargo and economic blockade lasting more than two decades, and within the arts, a resistance in the West to Soviet- influenced Socialist Realism. wo years ago I began a project, Translating New China’s Cine- Phase One.

  • 50Th Chicago International Film Festival to Open with Liv Ullmann's Torrid Adaptation of August Strindberg Play “Miss Julie”

Randolph Dr.). The red carpet event starts at 6 p.m. Director Liv Ullmann is scheduled to attend. Based on August Strindberg’s 1888 groundbreaking naturalistic drama, “Miss Julie” takes place over the course of one midsummer night in an Irish country estate, as the haughty Miss Julie (Jessica Chastain) and her father's lowly valet John (Colin Farrell) charm and manipulate each other. By turns seductive and bullying, savage and tender, their intimate relationship leads to a desperate plan, culminating in a final act as sublime and devastating as anything in Greek tragedy. Ullmann brings renewed vitality to August Strindberg’s classic play of power, class and seduction. “Since her extraordinary directorial debut, ‘Sofie,’ in 1992, we have premiered each and every one of Liv’s directorial efforts,” said Chicago International Film Festival Founder and Artistic Director Michael Kutza.

  • Dreams, Reality & the Various Symbolic Intepretations And
    Matthew A. Sheldon Art History 206 Elena Gorfinkel 2/24/13 Persona (1966) Ingmar Bergman's Persona is one of those fascinating films where you keep returning to it, trying to uncover more of its mysteries and hoping it reveals more of its secrets. The beginning of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: Space Odyssey captured the birth of man. Persona and its infamous beginning is said to have captured the death of the motion picture camera. Persona is the quintessential example of the art house film and there will be several times within the film where Bergman is informing you what is real and what is fantasy. For example, in the climax of the film Bergman clearly shows the camera crew and sound operators on a crane filming the last scene, which indicates to me that Bergman, is reminding the audience that what we are witnessing isn't necessarily 'real'. Like the attributes of the art film Persona gives no clear answers, the film is based more on interpretation, its ending is ambiguous, its character’s lack any defined desires and goals, and what every audience member sees in the film can differ based upon each person's perspective. American film theorist David Bordwell stated, “First, the art cinema defines itself explicitly against the classical narrative mode, and especially against the cause-effect linkage of events.” I realized the best approach when watching this film is to try and not dissect every individual scene and instead try to focus on the underlying themes Bergman is trying to project between the power struggles within its two characters.

Degree awarded December 2017 ii © 2017 Shuo Xu iii THESIS ABSTRACT Shuo Xu Master of Arts School of Journalism and Communication December 2017 Title: The Curious Case of Chinese Film Censorship: An Analysis of Film Administration Regulations The commercialization and global transformation of the Chinese film industry demonstrates that this industry has been experiencing drastic changes within the new social and economic environment of China in which film has become a commodity generating high revenues. However, the Chinese government still exerts control over the industry which is perceived as an ideological tool. They believe that the films display and contain beliefs and values of certain social groups as well as external constraints of politics, economy, culture, and ideology. This study will look at how such films are banned by the Chinese film censorship system through analyzing their essential cinematic elements, including narrative, filming, editing, sound, color, and sponsor and publisher.
