  • Urban Netherworlds: Noir and Neo-Noir NY and LA in Film (Abstracts 5/15/16)
    H-Film CFP: Urban Netherworlds: Noir and Neo-Noir NY and LA in Film (Abstracts 5/15/16) Discussion published by Cynthia Miller on Monday, April 4, 2016 Call for Contributors Urban Netherworlds: Noir and Neo-Noir New York and Los Angeles in Film (under contract) Film noir is one of the most intensely studied cinematic genres, yet Mark Shiel remarks that while numerous studies have helped define the genre in thematic, stylistic, and technical terms, “they have engaged very little with the local geography of film noirs, whether set in Los Angeles, New York, or other cities.” Yet it is hard to think of another genre where the identity of a particular city or neighborhood or even street carries equal diegetic weight. The symbiotic screen relationship between New York and Los Angeles in noir and neo-noir is reflected in the work of actors such as Robert De Niro, Roy Scheider, Al Pacino, and directors such as William Friedkin, Sidney Lumet, Martin Scorsese, John Cassavettes, and Roman Polanski. Kathryn Bigelow puts Jamie Lee Curtis at risk in New York Blue( Steel) and then does the same thing to Angela Bassett in Los Angeles (Strange Days). In Brian De Palma’s Body Double Melanie Griffith is menaced by a Hollywood killer with a penchant for disguises and power tools; in Jane Campion’sIn the Cut Meg Ryan is stalked by a murderer who may be a member of the NYPD. This book will bring together a limited number of essays on the ways in which New York and Los Angeles have been represented, over the last half-century or more, in noir film.

  • Si Hoy Día Hay Un Actor Español Que Ha Traspasado Las Fronteras De Su Propio País, Ese Es Sin Duda Alguna Antonio Banderas
    Si hoy día hay un actor español que ha traspasado las fronteras de su propio país, ese es sin duda alguna Antonio Banderas. Seductor de nacimiento y con un carisma nato que le hace irresistible, tanto en su faceta personal como profesional. Pero los que le conocen bien saben que si ha llegado al lugar que hoy ocupa es porque, como dirían en Málaga, su tierra natal, ‘se lo ha currao’. Es de dominio público que la consagración de Antonio Banderas como actor no ha dependido de una sola película. Pero lo que pocas personas saben es que sus principios fueron muy duros, ya que inició su andadura en Madrid con apenas quince mil pesetas en el bolsillo y una maleta cargada de sueños e ilusiones que en más de una ocasión a punto estuvo de romperse. Pero su esfuerzo innato, su voluntad férrea y, sobre todo, sus incansables ganas de aprender, le llevaron a no decaer y a lograr su sueño de infancia: convertirse en un reconocido actor. Sus primeras incursiones malagueñas fueron en el teatro de la mano de Dintel, una compañía creada por Mike Gallego, que le dio la oportunidad de aparecer en obras como El hijo pródigo, De cómo un hombre se encontró sólo en tres segundos o tres segundos de cómo se encontró un hombre, Angélica en el umbral del cielo, El convidado o Una historia más. Durante cuatro años seguidos intervino en el Festival Greco‐Latino de Málaga, interpretando obras clásicas como Las fenicias, Rómulo el Grande, La Numancia, Las píldoras de Hércules, Prometeo encadenado… Pero, cansado de la vida de provincias y de las pocas oportunidades que había para los actores, un buen día Antonio decidió ir en busca de su sueño y dar el salto a Madrid.

  • ICE - Making Predictions
    A ICE - Making Predictions What do the lines, • “What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet.” • “Sex without love is an empty gesture. But as empty gestures go, it is one of the best.” and, • “When I was in school, I cheated on my metaphysics exam: I looked into the soul of the boy sitting next to me.” all have in common? The answer is that they were all conceived by writer, actor and director Woody Allen (see Figure 11. Born Allan Stewart Konigsberg on December 1, 1935, in Brooklyn New York, he adopted the name “Woody Allen” in 1952 - a year before graduating from high school. Allen enrolled in NYU and astonishingly (given his long and critically acclaimed career as a film maker) failed the class on motion picture production. After graduating from NYU, Allen made a career as a comedy writer for television programs such as “Your Show of Shows” starring Pat Boone (see Figure 22). Figure 1: Described as a “pale, bespectacled, 120 pound neurotic,” Woody Allen has written, directed or starred in (sometimes all of the above) more than 40 feature films during a career spanning almost than 40 years. 1 Image source: http://www.ibiblio.org/mal/MO/phlim/woody/ 2 Image source: http://pages.prodigy.net/dianamorris/feat1k.htm Allen made his first professional appearance as a comedian in 1960, and between 1964 and 1965 released three comedy albums that were enthusiastically received. Also in 1965, Allen’s first motion picture “What’s New, Pussycat” was released.
