  • Richard Fleischer
    Richard Fleischer Un grande de Hollywood No cuenten con Richard Fleischer, nacido en Brooklyn en 1916, hijo de uno de los maestros de la animación de Hollywood, el creador de Betty Boop y de Popeye, rival de Walt Disney, etc., para gemir romántica, hipócrita o inmaduramente sobre los infranqueables obstáculos a los que hay que enfrentarse cuando se lleva un nombre famoso y se ha nacido en el serrallo. (...) Se diría que el haber nacido allí acentuó sus cualidades innatas: la serenidad en las relaciones con su ego, la discreción, la modestia, una especie de equilibrio interno en su forma de trabajar, de abordar y profundizar un tema, ya se trate del más anodino o el más atroz. Incluso antes de abordar los aspectos de su obra que le señalan como autor, en el sentido estético filosófico que ese término ha adoptado en el seno de la expresión "política de los autores", conviene definirlo como el autor de una serie de hazañas, el superdotado de la puesta en escena que, en cada uno de los géneros que probó (y sabe Dios que fueron muchos) buscó consciente o inconscientemente, pero siempre con la misma paradójica humildad, regalar la película más lograda, la más increíble, la de mayor inventiva, la definitiva. Hasta el punto de que muchos espectadores que apenas conocen su nombre guardan en lo más profundo de sus recuerdos cinematográficos un lugar especial para una u otra de sus obras maestras. Citemos en revoltijo algunos de sus logros: le debemos entre otras cosas la mejor película de aventuras históricas (Los vikingos, documentada y lírica y, en su terreno, nunca superada), la mejor adaptación de Julio Verne (Veinte mil leguas de viaje submarino), una obra que es también una de las mejores películas para niños en el doble sentido del término, a saber: película que debe complacer a los niños y a los adultos.

Ellis Auditorium Course Syllabus, Spring 2017 READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY! Welcome to the Spring Cinema Series… a unique opportunity to learn about cinema in an interdisciplinary, cinematheque-style environment open to the general public! Throughout the term we will invite a variety of special guests to enrich your understanding of the films in the series. The films will be preceded by formal introductions and followed by public discussions. You are welcome and encouraged to bring guests throughout the term! This is not a traditional class, therefore it is important for you to review the course assignments and due dates carefully to ensure that you fulfill all the requirements to earn the grade you desire. We want the Cinema Series to be both entertaining and enlightening for students and community alike. Welcome to our college film club! COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will introduce students to one of the most powerful cultural and social communications media of our time: cinema. The successful student will become more aware of the complexity of film art, more sensitive to its nuances, textures, and rhythms, and more perceptive in “reading” its multilayered blend of image, sound, and motion. The films, texts, and classroom materials will cover a broad range of domestic, independent, and international cinema, making students aware of the culture, politics, and social history of the periods in which the films were produced.

Tim Harte Bryn Mawr College “Monumental Melodrama: Mikhail Kalatozov’s Retrospective Return to 1920s Agitprop Cinema in I Am Cuba ” October 2013 Few artists have bridged the large thirty-year divide between the early Soviet avant-garde period of the 1920s and the post-Stalinist Thaw of the late 1950s and early 1960s like the filmmaker Mikhail Kalatozov. Thriving in these two periods of relative artistic freedom and innovation for Soviet culture, the Georgian-born Kalatozov—originally Kalatozishvili— creatively merged the ideological with the kinesthetic, first through his constructivist-inspired silent work and then through his celebrated Thaw-era films. Having participated in the bold experiment that was early Soviet cinema, Kalatozov subsequently maintained some semblance of cinematic productivity under Stalinism; but then in the late 1950s he suddenly transformed himself and his cinematic vision.

The program, scheduled through August 26, will also include such film classics as Carl Dreyer's "The Passion of Joan of Arc;" Pudovkin's "Mother;" Erich von Stroheim's "Greed;" F.W. Murnau's "The Last Laugh;" Eisenstein's "Potemkin;" and "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari," one of the most controversial films of its time. Thirty-seven pictures were selected by Beaumont Newhall, Director of the George Eastman House, who is responsible for organizing the current photographic exhibition, "Photo Eye of the 20s," to which "Kino Eye of the 20s" is a companion program. Mr. Newhall will appear at the Thursday evening performance, July 30 at 8 p.m., fjhen he will introduce the Murnau film "Sunrise" and discuss the series. A strong kinship between photography and film existed in this decade, when the film found its syntax and structure, according to Mr. NeT;hall. "In a quarter of a century the movies had grown from a vaudeville novelty to a distinct and po';erful art form." The decade saw the production of some of the greatest films ever made.
