  • THE GREAT WAR: a CINEMATIC LEGACY OPENS at Moma on the CENTENARY of the START of WORLD WAR I
    THE GREAT WAR: A CINEMATIC LEGACY OPENS AT MoMA ON THE CENTENARY OF THE START OF WORLD WAR I The Great War: A Cinematic Legacy August 4—September 21, 2014 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters NEW YORK, July 8, 2014–Opening on the 100th anniversary of the day World War I began, The Museum of Modern Art’s The Great War: A Cinematic Legacy runs from August 4 through September 21, 2014, highlighting 60 feature-length films and thematic programs that attempt to provide a comprehensive view of the war as portrayed in film. The various films focus on prewar activities; espionage; the battlefields in the trenches, in the air, and on and beneath the sea; actualités; and the various homefronts before, during, and after the war. Familiar films, such as A Farewell to Arms (1932) and Lawrence of Arabia (1962), along with several lesser-known works from as far away as New Zealand—including Chunuk Bair (1992)—reflect the universality of a war that reshaped the prevailing values of what passed for civilization. In August, the program is predominately drawn from the early years, either during the war or in the succeeding decades, and includes several silent films. The program in September will concentrate mainly on later, more contemporary films up to, and including, Steven Spielberg’s War Horse (2011). The Great War is organized by Charles Silver, Curator, with Dave Kehr, Adjunct Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art. Many of the films in the series deal with the entrenched stalemate in France, including Verdun, Vision d’Histoire (Verdun, Vision of History) (1928) directed by Leon Poirier.

  • Hwyl and Hiraeth: Richard Burton and Wales
    175 Hwyl And Hiraeth: Richard Burton And Wales Chris Williams I shall start with two brief quotations from Richard Burton.1 The first comes from an interview with Burton conducted by Kenneth Tynan in Rome in late 1966 and broadcast on the BBC in 1967. Tynan asked Burton whether there was ‘anything in the background of Wales, the cultural background, that has specifically influenced your acting?’ Burton replied: We had no actors. No actors, you know, for about forty years. I suddenly realised why we’d never had any actors. It was because all the actors went into the pulpit, the greatest stage in the world. It dominated a village in the chapel. You stood hovering like a great bird of prey over the people in the village; you said, ‘I will tell you what is wrong with you, and let me examine your soul’. The greatest pulpit in the world. And suddenly that particular kind of belief went out. They were no longer stars, the great preachers of my childhood. They went out, and the first man in Wales to stop being a preacher and start becoming an actor was Emlyn Williams. Tynan: Would it be true to say that the thing that drew you to the stage was rhetoric? Burton: Oh yes, unquestionably. I think we have a word in Welsh, misused I believe by you lot, called hwyl; nobody can ever translate it. But it’s a kind of longing for something, a kind of idiotic, marvellous, ridiculous longing.2 The second quotation is from a diary entry made by Burton on 7 December 1968, whilst at the Chalet Ariel, Gstaad, the Swiss home he shared with Elizabeth Taylor: I have a record on of ‘five thousand Welsh voices’ singing ‘Mae d’eisiau di bob awr’.

  • Shakespeare on Film and Television in the Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division of the Library of Congress
    SHAKESPEARE ON FILM AND TELEVISION IN THE MOTION PICTURE, BROADCASTING AND RECORDED SOUND DIVISION OF THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Compiled by Zoran Sinobad January 2012 Introduction This is an annotated guide to moving image materials related to the life and works of William Shakespeare in the collections of the Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division of the Library of Congress. While the guide encompasses a wide variety of items spanning the history of film, TV and video, it does not attempt to list every reference to Shakespeare or every quote from his plays and sonnets which have over the years appeared in hundreds (if not thousands) of motion pictures and TV shows. For titles with only a marginal connection to the Bard or one of his works, the decision what to include and what to leave out was often difficult, even when based on their inclusion or omission from other reference works on the subject (see below). For example, listing every film about ill-fated lovers separated by feuding families or other outside forces, a narrative which can arguably always be traced back to Romeo and Juliet, would be a massive undertaking on its own and as such is outside of the present guide's scope and purpose. Consequently, if looking for a cinematic spin-off, derivative, plot borrowing or a simple citation, and not finding it in the guide, users are advised to contact the Moving Image Reference staff for additional information. How to Use this Guide Entries are grouped by titles of plays and listed chronologically within the group by release/broadcast date.

In the years following the Civil War, the town of Abilene, Kansas is poised on the brink of an explosive confrontation. A line has been drawn down the center of the town where the homesteaders and the cattlemen have come to a very uneasy truce. The delicate peace is inadvertently shattered when a group of new homesteaders lay down their stakes on the cattlemen's side of town, upsetting the delicate balance that had existed thus far and sparking an all-out war between the farmers, who want the land tamed and property lines drawn, and the cowboys, who want the prairies to be open for their cattle to roam. 3.
