  • Meiermovies Short Films by Star Rating
    MeierMovies Short Films by Star Rating Theatrically released motion pictures of 40 minutes or less For every great feature, there’s a great short, and this list attempts to chronicle just some of those tiny masterpieces – and their not-so-masterful counterparts. For films to make this list, they must have played in at least one film festival or showcase, or theatrical venue, for a paying audience. Films shown only on television (or available only on DVD, Blu-ray, video or online) are reserved for my Television list. Also not included here are student films and similar projects that have never been presented at a theatrical venue that charged admission to viewers. (Please note that this is slightly more lenient than the qualifications for the feature- film lists, which require that a film of more than 40 minutes play at least two major festivals, or have a limited or general release.) Theatrical newsreels (pre-television) and theatrically released trailers are not eligible for this list, although mini-documentaries and travelogues (typically playing alongside trailers and B-features in the 1930-1950s) are. Short films shown at theme parks and museums are eligible, but not if they rely on animatronic/interactive/live elements. Shorts produced for timed competitions, such as 48-hour or 24-hour projects, are not included here, unless those films were subsequently screened at a second venue. The ratings system is the same as that of the feature-film list, just with no half or quarter stars. That difference is due to simplification and also to the fact that it’s admittedly difficult, and perhaps somewhat unfair, to compare a 2-minute film to a 40- minute one using quarter stars.

  • Producing Popularity: the Success in France of the Comics Series "Astérix Le Gaulois" Eliza Bourque Dandridge Thesis
    Producing Popularity: The Success in France of the Comics Series "Astérix le Gaulois" Eliza Bourque Dandridge Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of Master of Arts in History (European Area Studies) Dr. Fabrice G. Teulon, Chair Dr. Sue W. Farquhar Dr. E. Thomas Ewing April 30, 2008 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Astérix, comics, bande dessinée, production of culture, branding, popularity, appeal Copyright 2008 Eliza Bourque Dandridge. All rights reserved. Producing Popularity: The Success in France of the Comics Series "Astérix le Gaulois" Eliza Bourque Dandridge ABSTRACT: This study examines the rise in popularity of the French comics series "Astérix le Gaulois" through a production-of-culture lens in an effort to uncover how industry evolution and organization, protectionist legislation, marketing, advertising, branding, and consecration by the media worked interdependently to catapult Astérix, the series' protagonist, into stardom by the middle of the 1960s. In so doing, this study forcefully argues that elements external to the text itself greatly facilitated, and in some ways determined, the series' quick and dramatic rise in popularity in France by 1966. The predominance of American and Belgian comics into the 1950s and the moral turn towards all things "100 % français" enabled the success of Pilote, the French- language, French-themed magazine launched in 1959 and in which "Astérix" first appeared. By the early 1960s, Pilote's faithful readership helped make the publication of "Astérix" in album format a resounding success. Simultaneous radio exposure and extensive product merchandising further promoted "Astérix" to a new, vast, and diverse comics market comprised of children and adults alike.

  • Th from Pa He Place O Fa Aternal H of Absent Thesis S Doctor Schoo
    From Paternal Hegemony to the Ethics of Fraternity:: the Place of Absent Fathers in Le Jeune Cinéma Français ByB Eun-Jee Park Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Integrated) School of Modern Languages Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Newcastle University NE1 7RU United Kingdom February 2011 1 Abstract In the 1990s a new generation of socially engaged filmmakers came to be known as le jeune cinéma français. Many of these filmmakers examined a whole range of social issues, with a particular aim of focusing on the representation of the French family. In these family portraits, the father, both as the traditional head of the family institution and as a stand-in for the State, is notably missing. This thesis inquires into the paternal absence in le jeune cinéma, and traces how the paternal crisis is related to the filmmakers’ practice of auteur cinema. The jeunes auteurs, rather than participating directly in political debate, make a case for cinema as a tool for an ethical engagement with the reality of those left behind by socio-economic change. Drawing on philosophical thinking developed by Emmanuel Levinas and Jacques Derrida, this thesis discusses the ways le jeune cinéma seeks to move away from the oedipal association of the father with the law, and thereby to articulate the recognition of an ethical fraternity as opening up to the care and hospitality towards the Other. This thesis outlines specific ideals of new paternal models that le jeune cinéma proposes. Starting with an Introduction which develops the points made above and sets out the theoretical framework, this study then moves on to consider six emblematic films which alter the way the father is conceived through diverse paternal reconfigurations.

  • Homemaking, Making Home, and Femininity in Contemporary Women’S Filmmaking and Literature of the Métropol and the Maghreb
    THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME: HOMEMAKING, MAKING HOME, AND FEMININITY IN CONTEMPORARY WOMEN’S FILMMAKING AND LITERATURE OF THE MÉTROPOL AND THE MAGHREB DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Stacey Weber-Fève, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Judith Mayne, Advisor Professor Danielle Marx-Scouras _________________________________ Advisor Professor Jennifer Willging Graduate Program in French and Italian Copyright by Stacey Weber-Fève 2006 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the problematic location of home, the traditional female activity of homemaking, and the representation of female subjectivity in contemporary cinematic, (auto)biographical, and fictional texts by several contemporary French and Francophone women artists. These writers and filmmakers question the home as a female interior space in which female protagonists traditionally become objects or accessories. They also bring to the fore multiple representations of contemporary French, Algerian, and Tunisian femininity. In these texts, the artists embrace and foreground domestic space, female housekeeping activities, and women’s ideological roles in order to (re)appropriate the normative gender discourses of their homelands. They accomplish these goals by revealing how the home within each society functions subversively as a space of socio-political-historical contention. Using Assia Djebar’s work as a source of theoretical departure, this study illustrates the representation of women in body, by voice, and through the gaze in a collection of narratives created by French-speaking women artists from the Métropol and the Maghreb. Using feminist film theoretical and lifewriting critical perspectives, I examine the functions of the gaze and the effects of voicing the personal for women of France and North Africa.
