Berrow | 224 pages | 02 Oct 2014 | Hachette Children's Group | 9781408336601 | English | London, United Kingdom Through the Looking-Glass - Wikipedia From " Veronica Mars " to Rebecca take a look back at the career of Armie Hammer on and off the screen. See the full gallery. Biographical documentary of Lee Miller aka Elizabeth Miller,her early years in USA under her father's influence, later became a model turned artist and celebrated photographer, including her photojournalism during WWII, and her second marriage to British surrealism painter Roland Penrose postwar. Film is told through interviews with Miller's son, Antony Penrose. The various phases of Lee Miller's life and works are accounted and revealed by writer-director Sylvain Roumette, with the collaboration of Lee's son, Antony Penrose, Lee's Through the Mirror wartime journalist friend David Scherman, and Patsy I. Murray whom Lee brought in as the 'second mother' to Through the Mirror. Early in the film: "I longed to be loved, just once, somewhat purely and chastely, to have youth and innocence so. The film provided personal insights and fond reminiscences of their times with Lee from Antony, Scherman and Murray. And by the end, we can tell that Antony Penrose, with the help and understanding of Scherman, is resolved with his differences towards his mother. Anyone who appreciates photography, art, surrealism, Man Ray, woman influences, or simply a worthwhile documentary - do check out Through the Mirror film available on DVD. The "Portfolio" option gives a photo synopsis of the eight stages of Lee Miller's life.

  • Motifs of Passage Into Worlds Imaginary and Fantastic
    Motifs of Passage into Worlds Imaginary and Fantastic F. Gordon Greene Sacramento, CA ABSTRACT: In this paper I match phenomena associated with the passage into otherworlds as reported during out-of-body and near-death experiences, with imagery associated with the passage into otherworlds as depicted in classic modern fantasies and fairy tales. Both sources include sensations of consciousness separating from the body, floating and flying, passage through fluidic spaces or dark tunnels toward bright lights, and emergence into super natural worlds inhabited by souls of the deceased and by higher spiritual beings; and both describe comparable psychophysical initiatory factors. I intro duce a metaphysically neutral depth psychology to explain these parallels, examine two metaphysically opposed extensions to this depth psychology, and consider several implications of a transcendental perspective. Introduction The prospect of a fantastic journey leading into realms of super natural wonder has always fired the human imagination and probably always will. Such a journey may involve a voyage to remote islands or continents hidden in uncharted seas, a trek off the edge of the Earth's flat surface, a descent into the gloomy underworld below, an ascent into the starry heavens above, or a passage through a magical portal into dimensions unseen. Whatever the pathway, the possibility of such a fantastic journey speaks irresistibly to some deep facet of human nature, this is a facet possessed of a longing that must be appeased, if not fulfilled, in the realm of human imagination, if not in that of some extra mundane reality. Mr. Greene is a free-lance writer whose principal interests have been parapsychology, religion, and metaphysics.

  • Anido FILM1 30E
    FILM 1/30e No.1 The Exhibition of Mr. Mukuo Takamura Mukuo at his Studio (Photo:T.Namiki) The retrospective exhibition of Mr. Takamura Mukuo, who had passed away 3 year ago, was held at the Museum in Machida. This April under the auspices of his family. He the leading person in background painters of Japanese animation field produced numerous wonderful works. Though they offered free- entrance, it was rich in content. There were more than 100 background paintings drawn by him, from his early works such as "Marco", "Gosch, the Cellist", "The Dagger of Kamui", to his posthumous works like "Sailor Moon". They gave us the full picture of his career as a background designer for 30 years. They were enough to remind almost 600 fans, who visited exhibition at his talent. Mr. Mukuo first helped ANIDO directlywith the article on "Marco" in FILM 1/24, No. 23. The background of "Gosch, the Cellist" most of which were was so great that I can never forget that drawn by him. During its production, I worked as an animator. Even after that, I took a part in advertisement. He helped us a lot, like making a guest appearance when we held screenings, joining the discussion for the animation magazine, drawing background of the pictures for badges and other goods, and so on. It's very sad to say Mr. Mukuo had already passed away. But I believe that we, people in Japanese animation field, will never forget his earnest attitude toward creation. ANIDO is now planning to publish the book of his wonderful works.

  • Alice's Adventures in Disneyland
    © Markus Lång 2006 This review was first published in Lewis Carroll Review, issue 32 (January 2006), pp. 8–12. Alice’s Adventures in Disneyland Alice in Wonderland: The Masterpiece Edition Produced by Walt Disney Adapted from the books of Lewis Carroll Production supervised by Ben Sharpsteen Musical score by Oliver Wallace Directed by Clyde Geronimi, Hamilton Luske and Wilfred Jackson DVD video (2 disks), region 1 Video format: NTSC Audio: English (stereo and mono), French, Spanish Subtitles: English (hard of hearing) Runtime: 75'08" Buena Vista Home Entertainment 2004, $ 29.99 http://www.disneydvd.com/ alt Disney had always been interested in WLewis Carroll’s Alice books. The animat- ed feature Alice in Wonderland (1951) is his chef- d’œuvre in this respect, but he had been mak- ing Alice-entitled silent short films already in the 1920s in which live action is combined with black- and-white animation; this shows how eagerly he always wanted to transcend the inexorable bor- der between reality and fantasy. There is also a Mickey Mouse cartoon from 1936, Thru the Mirror, in which some Carrollian motives appear. These short films show that Disney was not so interested in replicating “exactically” Carroll’s story line but in examining if and how some of his ideas could be applied to animation. From the early 1930s on, the Disney cartoons developed a distinct and marked animation style, partly dictated by the demands of the animation medium: clear- cut, caricature-like characters, evenly coloured areas and black contours. When one has to draw and colour manually 24 images for a second of film, this is the easiest way to do it; and Walt Disney refined the drawing process to an indus- try, even planning his studio buildings in Burbank so that the movie in preparation could proceed as if on a conveyor belt.

    1 Alicia a través del tiempo y el arquetipo John Alberto Espitia Rodriguez Tutora: Sandra Patricia Rendón Restrepo Facultad de Diseño Gráfico Universidad Santo Tomás Bogotá, D.C. 2017 ii Dedicatoria Dedico este proyecto en primera instancia a mi madre, quien desde siempre ha estado conmigo, apoyándome incondicionalmente en todos los momentos de triunfo y tristeza, siendo la parte más importante en mi vida y gracias a ella, he podido sacar fuerzas en los momentos más duros. A mi padre, quien me ha dado todas las herramientas necesarias para llegar a este punto. A mis abuelas, quienes han sido una parte fundamental en mi vida, y me han brindado todo de sí para estar conmigo. Por convertirse en mis maestras, sustentos y segundas madres, y a quienes les debo todo y aún más, por ser uno de los pilares más importantes de mi vida. A mi hermana, que a pesar de las muchas discusiones que pueden llegar a haber entre nosotros, el cariño y admiración que siento por ella es inmenso. Desde el momento en que llegó se ha convertido en una parte necesaria de mí vida, y estoy eternamente agradecido por contar con la compañía de una persona tan sensible, carismática y alegre como lo es mi hermana. Finalmente a todos los compañeros, profesores y amigos, con quienes he podido compartir en esta etapa de mi vida, he aprendido y crecido como persona gracias a todos ustedes y este momento en el que me encuentro no sería lo mismo sin todas las risas, llanto y recuerdos que he podido tener con cada uno de ustedes.

  • American Cinema of the 1930S SCREEN AMERICAN CULTURE / AMERICAN CINEMA DECADES
    American Cinema of the 1930s SCREEN AMERICAN CULTURE / AMERICAN CINEMA DECADES Each volume in the Screen Decades: American Culture/American Cinema series presents a group of original essays analyzing the impact of cultural issues on the cin- ema and the impact of the cinema in American society. Because every chapter explores a spectrum of particularly significant motion pictures and the broad range of historical events in one year, readers will gain a continuing sense of the decade as it came to be depicted on movie screens across the continent. The integration of his- torical and cultural events with the sprawling progression of American cinema illu- minates the pervasive themes and the essential movies that define an era. Our series represents one among many possible ways of confronting the past; we hope that these books will offer a better understanding of the connections between American culture and film history.

  • “Would You Tell Me, Please, Which Way I Ought to Go from Here? - That Depends a Good Deal on Where You Want to Get To
    LICE “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here? - That depends a good deal on where you want to get to. I don't much care where… - Then it doesn't much matter which way you go. So long as I get somewhere. - Oh, you're sure to do that, if only you walk long enough.” Lewis Carroll , Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Cover page: collage of the pipe organ, St-François Church, Lausanne and an illustration by John Tenniel from the 1st edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) ALICE March 2016 PRESENTATION “The debate about knowledge is no longer relevant and intelligence is no longer to be taken into account, so only dreams give Man complete liberty (…) In all families, every morning men, women and children, IF THEY HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO, talk about their dreams. We are all subjected to dreaming and to its’ power during our waking state, like a tyrant clothed in mirrors and lightning (…)”1 “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” , why not? For this is what it’s all about. It’s irrelevant that she’s travelling inside a pipe organ this time, Alice is a figure symbolic of dreams and she can go anywhere through each one of us. Is it our deep down desire that we can transgress reality and dive into our imagination to “really” live our dreams and fantasies? It’s in our own imagination that wonderful journeys like Alice through the looking glass take place. But can we really come back? Having jumped into the burrow, can we come out again unscathed? In his stories, Lewis Carroll draws the reader into a universe without limits and he continually encourages artists to loose themselves in this wonderland.

  • Thomas Leitch University of Delaware
    Studia Filmoznawcze 33 Wroc³aw 2012 Thomas Leitch University of Delaware READING LIKE ADULTS, PERFORMING LIKE CHILDREN: TWO WAYS OF EXPERIENCING ADAPTATIONS It is a truth universally acknowledged that in order to experience an adaptation as an adaptation, you have to recognize it as an adaptation, and in order to recognize it as an adaptation, you have to know its source. These are adult skills unavailable to children; we might call them part of the skill set that makes child readers into adult readers. As Linda Hutcheon has put it, “adaptation a s adaptation involves, for its knowing audience, an interpretive doubling, a conceptual fl ipping back and forth between the work we know and the work we are experiencing” (139). But what qualifi es an audience as a knowing, adult audience capable of this fl ipping back and forth? How much do you have to know, and what kinds of things do you have to know about a given adaptation’s source, in order to experience the “repetition with variation” (116) that provides the distinctive pleasures of adaptation? Contrasting two adaptations of Proust, Volker Schlöndorff’s Un Amour de Swann, which is “a primer of what n o t to do when adapting A la recherche,” and Raúl Ruiz’s Le Temps retrouvé, which remains “[t]rue to Proust’s aesthetic,” Melissa Anderson revealingly remarks, “For those who are unfamiliar with Proust’s sprawl- ing novel, Ruiz’s fi lm may seem somewhat impenetrable, since he wastes no time in exposition” (102, 104). Given that Proust devotes six even more sprawling novels to exposition before arriving at Le Temps retrouvé, it would seem captious to require fi lmgoers to have read not only Proust’s fi nal novel but all the earlier portions of A la recherche du temps perdu in order to appreciate Ruiz’s fi lm adaptation as an Studia Filmoznawcze 33, 2012 © for this edition by CNS SSF_33.indbF_33.indb 9 22012-08-10012-08-10 111:41:161:41:16 10 | Thomas Leitch adaptation, or even to be able to follow it as a story.
