Dado Que Estamos Cerca De Cumplir La Primera Década De Este Siglo, Presentamos Nuestra Lista De Películas Favoritas Desde El Año 2000 Hasta La Actualidad ANTOLOGÍA Nuestras películas del nuevo siglo Dado que estamos cerca de cumplir la primera década de este siglo, presentamos nuestra lista de películas favoritas desde el año 2000 hasta la actualidad. Los patrones para elaborar las listas fueron relativamente flexibles: que sean de diez cintas aproximadamente, que la mitad de ellas se haya visto en cartelera comercial y la otra mitad en el circuito cultural, en el extranjero o en DVD. Haciendo sumas, se presentaron muchos empates, razón por la cual decidimos que se analicen críticamente las doce películas más votadas. A continuación presentamos las dos listas (el orden en que se enumeran las cintas no muestra una tendencia descendente de las más a las menos votadas).

    THE 22ND ANNUAL WASHINGTON, DC INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL APRIL 24 – MAY 4, 2008 THE WASHINGTON, DC INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL A world of films…a window into our world. Whether experienced in movie theaters, on DVDs or television in our homes, on our iPods or computers, films are the major communications media of our time. Hollywood films dominate commercial cinema. However, scores of talented filmmakers around the globe produce thou- sands of quality films that speak with a different voice, provide a different point of view, and tell different stories. Presenting these films in the nation’s capital is the purpose of Filmfest DC. Photo: Chad Evans Wyatt Film festivals are a journey of Tony Gittens, Festival Director and Shirin Ghareeb, Assistant Director discovery, a visual and thought provoking adventure into how people see and interpret our world. Every Filmfest DC is different and every film is unique from every other film in the festival. Together, they comprise an amazing representation of human imagination, commitment and talent. The festival has two special focuses this year — Politics & Film and New Latin Ameri- can Cinema. Obviously, politics are especially prominent during this election season and we wanted to explore the role affairs of state play in people’s every day lives. Latin American filmmakers are always a treasure trove of inventive storytelling. The di- verse selection of new work we have gathered from the Spanish-speaking world (in- cluding Spain) are moving, humorous, and insightful. None of this would be possible without the many dedicated people who have shared their time and talents with Filmfest DC.

  • Sight & Sound Films of 2007
    Sight & Sound Films of 2007 Each year we ask a selection of our contributors - reviewers and critics from around the world - for their five films of the year. It's a very loosely policed subjective selection, based on films the writer has seen and enjoyed that year, and we don't deny them the choice of films that haven't yet reached the UK. And we don't give them much time to ponder, either - just about a week. So below you'll find the familiar and the obscure, the new and the old. From this we put together the top ten you see here. What distinguishes this particular list is that it's been drawn up from one of the best years for all-round quality I can remember. 2007 has seen some extraordinary films. So all of the films in the ten are must-sees and so are many more.

  • The Representation of Suicide in the Cinema
    The Representation of Suicide in the Cinema John Saddington Submitted for the degree of PhD University of York Department of Sociology September 2010 Abstract This study examines representations of suicide in film. Based upon original research cataloguing 350 films it considers the ways in which suicide is portrayed and considers this in relation to gender conventions and cinematic traditions. The thesis is split into two sections, one which considers wider themes relating to suicide and film and a second which considers a number of exemplary films. Part I discusses the wider literature associated with scholarly approaches to the study of both suicide and gender. This is followed by quantitative analysis of the representation of suicide in films, allowing important trends to be identified, especially in relation to gender, changes over time and the method of suicide. In Part II, themes identified within the literature review and the data are explored further in relation to detailed exemplary film analyses. Six films have been chosen: Le Feu Fol/et (1963), Leaving Las Vegas (1995), The Killers (1946 and 1964), The Hustler (1961) and The Virgin Suicides (1999). These films are considered in three chapters which exemplify different ways that suicide is constructed. Chapters 4 and 5 explore the two categories that I have developed to differentiate the reasons why film characters commit suicide. These are Melancholic Suicide, which focuses on a fundamentally "internal" and often iII­ understood motivation, for example depression or long term illness; and Occasioned Suicide, where there is an "external" motivation for which the narrative provides apparently intelligible explanations, for instance where a character is seen to be in danger or to be suffering from feelings of guilt.

Reygadas conjures a host of unforgettable, ominous images: a haunting sequence at dusk as Reygadas’s real-life daughter wanders a muddy field and farm animals loudly circle and thunder and lightning threaten; a glowing-red demon gliding through the rooms of a home; a husband and wife visiting a swingers’ bathhouse with rooms named after famous philosophers. By turns entrancing and mystifying, POST TENEBRAS LUX palpably explores the primal conflicts of the human condition. — Mike Maggiore, Programmer, Film Forum DIRECTOR – CARLOS REYGADAS ON POST TENEBRAS LUX The film may seem mysterious at first sight.

While the term Three Amigos and the scholarship that analyzes their early works from a transnational perspective seeks to other them and distinguish them from Hollywood, I argue that the three filmmakers did not depart from a place of difference, and that they embraced Hollywood filmmaking all along, from the beginning of their careers, to the most recent Academy Award recognitions.

  • Mexican Cinema and the Festival De Cannes by Paulo Paranagua
    MEXICAN CINEMA AND THE FESTIVAL DE CANNES BY PAULO PARANAGUA The Lumière cinematograph was first presented in Mexico on 15 August 1896 by a bold young Frenchman named Gabriel Veyre. In so doing, he found favour with Porfirio Diaz, the country’s key military figure who is credited with uttering the famous phrase, “Poor Mexico, so far from God and so close to the United States”. The CNC Film Archives house some camerawork by Veyre, which constitutes the oldest moving images we have from Latin America. In 1910, the uprising against Porfirio Diaz sparked the Mexican Revolution, which turned into a bloody and prolonged confrontation between military leaders. Cinematograph operators tried to maintain a balance between the different factions to prevent screenings becoming another battlefield. Aurelio de los Reyes, a leading historian of Mexican silent cinema, considers this “documentary of the Revolution” to be the real golden age of Mexican cinema. The Film Archives held at the National Autonomous University of Mexico has made it possible to identify trends in pre-industrial production. In this ultra-secular country, extreme religiosity was an acculturation factor for fiction films, which were inspired by both American series and the Italian Divas. For example, Tepeyac (José Manuel Ramos, Carlos E. Gonzalez and Fernando Sayago, 1917) seems torn between the cult of tradition and a fascination with modernity. Santa , a melodrama penned by Federico Gamboa, was brought to the screen in 1918 (by Luis G. Peredo) and again in 1932 at the start of the “talkies” (by Antonio Moreno), as if the moral ambivalence of brothels had lasting relevance in Mexico.

  • The Contemporary Body of Mexican Masculinities A
    THE CONTEMPORARY BODY OF MEXICAN MASCULINITIES A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Samanta Ordóñez Robles August 2015 © 2015 Samanta Ordóñez Robles THE CONTEMPORARY BODY OF MEXICAN MASCULINITIES Samanta Ordóñez Robles, Ph.D. Cornell University 2015 Abstract: This dissertation thematizes masculinity in Mexico’s post-NAFTA configurations of subjectivities and bodies, and in the geocultural politics of race and gender in order to analyze how male identities are produced and reified within these intersecting structures of oppression. It encompasses questions of resistance, gender categories established by nationalism and late capitalism, and modern/colonial power relations. I explore cinematic and literary engagements with maleness in order to demonstrate how collusion between neoliberal economic interests and the state’s established political and cultural framework of power conceals the deployment of gendered concepts of citizenship and subjectivity as a mechanism to exercise control over Mexican bodies. I conceptualize this process in terms of a violent colonial strategy of subjection which coerces men to internalize normative codes of masculinity based on essentialist categories of race, sexuality, biological sex, and space. I address relevant scholarly debates in postcolonial studies and discussions of neoliberalism’s impact on culture, politics and identity. In my first chapter, I examine patriotic male performances in northern Mexico as portrayed in the novels Duelo por Miguel Pruneda (2002) and El ejército iluminado (2006) by David Toscana. I posit that through their efforts to overcome U.S. imperialism northern males in these texts are revealed as dominated subjects for whom national masculinity is a failing model for resistance.

  • Secularization of Religious Narratives in Contemporary Cinema
    ‘Are You There God?’: Secularization of Religious Narratives in Contemporary Cinema by Mary O’Shea A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Film Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2013, Mary O’Shea ii ABSTRACT The budding field of religion and film has almost exclusively consisted of works by religious studies scholars. The objective of this thesis is to approach religion and film from a film studies standpoint, with a focus on narrational, stylistic, and genre analysis. The films explored, Silent Light (Carlos Reygadas, Mexico, 2007), Requiem (Hans- Christian Schmid, Germany, 2006), and Take Shelter (Jeff Nichols, USA, 2011), are not a part of the popular Western cinema that dominates religion and film discourses. These independent works about resurrection (Silent Light), possession (Requiem), and apocalypse (Take Shelter) secularize the religious element of their respective narratives, and as a result, there is room for doubt, hesitation, and a variety of interpretations. The ambiguous sensibility of these films is crucial to this thesis, which aims to complicate the notion of the “religious film.” iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis would not exist without the guidance and insight of my supervisor, Dr. Malini Guha. Thank you for two years of thoughtful conversations, and your steadfast encouragement throughout the evolution of this project. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from the exceptional Film Studies faculty at Carleton, particularly Dr. Charles O’Brien, Dr. Erika Balsom, Dr. Marc Furstenau, Dr. Zuzana Pick, and Dr. Aboubakar Sanogo.
