  • Suggested Texts for Teaching Film to A-Level Language Students
    School of Languages, Cultures and Societies (2015) Suggested texts for teaching film to A-Level language students Each of the academics representing an area of language/culture study in the videos has also offered some general notes and advice surrounding texts which could help support the teaching of each relevant area. French (Diana Holmes) Films Truffaut Les 400 Coups (1959) – iconic New Wave film, interesting formally, but also about childhood, schooldays, relations with adults. Intensely moving as well as wonderful cinema – and introduces an important director. Louis Malle’s Au Revoir les enfants (1987). Relevant for any study of Occupation years, but also a good film and important director. Malle’s Lacombe Lucien (1974) is possibly even better. (Fairly) recent commercial successes such as Jeunet’s Amélie (2001) or Les Intouchables (Toledano and Nakache, 2011) – or Tout ce qui brille by Géraldine Nakache (2010) would be interesting to do, looking in part at the reasons for their popularity. This year’s Bande de filles (Céline Sciamma – a very interesting director). There is the unavoidable La Haine – very predictable choice, but it always goes down well and it is brilliant.

    List of films considered the best From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Films considered the greatest ever) Page semi-protected This list needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be chall enged and removed. (November 2008) While there is no general agreement upon the greatest film, many publications an d organizations have tried to determine the films considered the best. Each film listed here has been mentioned in a notable survey, whether a popular poll, or a poll among film reviewers. Many of these sources focus on American films or we re polls of English-speaking film-goers, but those considered the greatest withi n their respective countries are also included here. Many films are widely consi dered among the best ever made, whether they appear at number one on each list o r not. For example, many believe that Orson Welles' Citizen Kane is the best mov ie ever made, and it appears as #1 on AFI's Best Movies list, whereas The Shawsh ank Redemption is #1 on the IMDB Top 250, whilst Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back is #1 on the Empire magazine's Top 301 List. None of the surveys that produced these citations should be viewed as a scientif ic measure of the film-watching world. Each may suffer the effects of vote stack ing or skewed demographics. Internet-based surveys have a self-selected audience of unknown participants. The methodology of some surveys may be questionable. S ometimes (as in the case of the American Film Institute) voters were asked to se lect films from a limited list of entries.

  • The Phenomenological Aesthetics of the French Action Film
    Les Sensations fortes: The phenomenological aesthetics of the French action film DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Alexander Roesch Graduate Program in French and Italian The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Margaret Flinn, Advisor Patrick Bray Dana Renga Copyrighted by Matthew Alexander Roesch 2017 Abstract This dissertation treats les sensations fortes, or “thrills”, that can be accessed through the experience of viewing a French action film. Throughout the last few decades, French cinema has produced an increasing number of “genre” films, a trend that is remarked by the appearance of more generic variety and the increased labeling of these films – as generic variety – in France. Regardless of the critical or even public support for these projects, these films engage in a spectatorial experience that is unique to the action genre. But how do these films accomplish their experiential phenomenology? Starting with the appearance of Luc Besson in the 1980s, and following with the increased hybrid mixing of the genre with other popular genres, as well as the recurrence of sequels in the 2000s and 2010s, action films portray a growing emphasis on the importance of the film experience and its relation to everyday life. Rather than being direct copies of Hollywood or Hong Kong action cinema, French films are uniquely sensational based on their spectacular visuals, their narrative tendencies, and their presentation of the corporeal form. Relying on a phenomenological examination of the action film filtered through the philosophical texts of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Paul Ricoeur, Mikel Dufrenne, and Jean- Luc Marion, in this dissertation I show that French action cinema is pre-eminently concerned with the thrill that comes from the experience, and less concerned with a ii political or ideological commentary on the state of French culture or cinema.

  • FRAN 335 – SPRING 2021 French Cinema Since World War II Thursday, 2:30 to 4:20Pm Completely Online Via Zoom
    FRAN 335 – SPRING 2021 French Cinema Since World War II Thursday, 2:30 to 4:20pm Completely online via zoom Instructor: Dr Emile Fromet de Rosnay (email: [email protected]) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Office hour for this course: Thursday 1:30pm-2:30pm via zoom ​ Overview This course will cover the cinema of France since World War II, spanning the period from the cinema of occupation to the New Wave of the late 1950s and early 1960s, to contemporary cinema. Three themes will guide this course: 1. Questions of production: what are some of the technical and economic challenges and creative responses in the films we will be watching. 2. Cinema as an artform: how is a film made and how does this change how we perceive it, what are the different cinematic and narrative techniques, how are ideas, characters and themes developed? 3. Cinema and society: (how) is a film the product and the reflection of society? What societal questions does the film take on? How do aesthetics affect these questions? These questions can apply to any national cinema, but are particularly interesting during this period in France, since the period moves from the German occupation of France (cinema of occupation), the Algerian War, the emergence of radical movements in the 1960s, through to contemporary cinema. The movies we will LIKELY be studying are amongst the following: 1. Le Corbeau (Clouzot, 1943) ​ 2. Les enfants du paradis/Children of Paradise (Carné, 1945) ​ 3. La belle et la bête/Beauty and the Beast (Cocteau, 1946) ​ 4. Orphée/Orpheus (Cocteau, 1950) ​ 5. Les enfants terribles (Melville/Cocteau, 1950) ​ 6.

  • Cinéma Du Nord
    A North Wind THE NEW REALISM OF THE FRENCH- WALLOON CINÉMA DU NORD A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY NIELS NIESSEN IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY ADVISER: CESARE CASARINO NOVEMBER, 2013 © Niels Niessen, 2013 i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Ideas sometimes come in the middle of the night yet they are never fully one’s own. They are for a very large part the fruits of the places and organizations one works or is supported by, the communities one lives in and traverses, and the people one loves and is loved by. First of all, I would like to acknowledge the support I received from the following institutions: the American Council of Learned Societies, the Huygens Scholarship Program of the Dutch government, the Prins Bernard Cultuurfonds (The Netherlands), and, at the University of Minnesota, the Center for German & European Studies (and its donor Hella Mears), the Graduate School (and the Harold Leonard Memorial Fellowship in Film Study), as well as the Department of Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature. As for my home department, I could not have wished for a warmer and more intellectually vibrant community to pursue my graduate studies, and I express my gratitude to all who I have worked with. A special word of thanks to my academic adviser, Cesare Casarino, who has taught me how to read many of the philosophies that, explicitly or implicitly, have shaped my thinking in the following pages, and who has made me see that cinema too is a form of thought.

The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 Supervisor: Hélène Tissières Co-supervisor: Dina Sherzer Contemporary French identity issues are often conceived spatially in popular imagination and political discourse. France and French identity have been mapped into a series of imagined exclusionary spaces through media representations and political rhetoric. This dissertation argues that artists in the fields of film, rap music and fiction are actively yet often indirectly intervening in French identity debates by reframing the question of “integration” and by demonstrating that not only can one be simultaneously French and “other,” but that French identity is always already more complex and transnational than prevailing discourses of “imagined” identity will admit.

  • Pardeh-Khani a Conceptual Model for Iranian National Cinema
    PARDEH-KHANI A CONCEPTUAL MODEL FOR IRANIAN NATIONAL CINEMA MAJID FADAEI THESIS SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY CULTURAL CENTER UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA KUALA LUMPUR 2014 ABSTRACT This research has proposed Iran’s traditional art of Pardeh-khani as a suitable and applicable model for attaining a national cinema in this country; Pardeh-khani (pictorial storytelling) or Parde-dari is a kind of storytelling and minstrelsy with painted canvases that some scenes of epic, myth, moral and especially religious stories are painted on them. Mixture of speech and image in Pardeh-khani cause this kind of storytelling in the most popular and dramatic kind within Iran ancient arts. Pardeh-khani is very similar to modern art of cinema which served an analogous function in the past. Iran’s cinema, despite producing decorated works and eye-catching successes in global festivals during its 110-years history (1900-2010), has not been able yet to gain its actual position and status. It has failed to become a national cinema having a unique identity. As a matter of fact, despite all cultural and artistic potentials and capabilities of ancient Iran’s civilization and also presence of creative artists, Iran’s cinema has not managed to possess a national style with an identity commensurate with culture and identity of this civilization. By investigating different dimensions of this art that enjoyed remarkable popularity among Iranians along the history until a near past, this study attempts to render a theoretical and practical framework for national cinema in Iran. i ABSTRAKT Kajian ini adalah mengenai kesenian tradisional Iran Pardeh-khani yang boleh dijadikan aplikasi model yang sesuai untuk mendapatkan pawagam bertaraf nasional di Negara ini.

    Spatial opposition and the gendered spectacle of social suffering in French films Michelle Royer A SURVEY of French films from the beginning of sound cinema conducted by film specialist Susan Hayward1 demonstrates that almost half the terrain of Paris is excluded in French cinema. This shows that Paris, like all major cities, is based on the principle of exclusion and inclusion and that the city is the embodiment of power relations – “There are bodies that are in and others that are not” (Hayward 31) – and that cinema contributes to such a discourse of exclusion. However, since the 1990s, French cinema has seen the renewal of social films, a “return of the political”,2 which deal with socio-political issues affecting contemporary France: racism, unemployment, poverty and social exclusion, and the areas traditionally excluded from representation in French films now figure prominently. In this paper, I will explore the representation of Parisian urban space and the gendered use of the space in two films, La Haine (The Hate) made in 1995 and directed by Mathieu Kassovitz, and Chaos made in 2001 and directed by Coline Serreau.
