CSUN Cinematheque Friday, April 6 at 7 Pm Armer Theater Screening CSUN Cinematheque Friday, April 6 at 7 pm Armer Theater Screening Room Manzanita Hall 100 An evening with David Kajganich, writer and producer Showrunner of the AMC miniseries The Terror Premiered on March 26, 2018, on Amazon Prime Screening of Episodes 1 and 2 Free and open to the public About the Series Written by David Kajganich (True Story, A Bigger Splash), who also serves as co-showrunner with Soo Hugh (The Whispers, The Killing), this 10-episode series is set in the 1840s, when a Royal Naval expedition crew searching for the Northwest Passage is attacked by a mysterious predator that stalks the ships and their crew in a suspenseful and desperate game of survival. Its point of departure is the story of the ill-fated Franklin expedition and its two ships, the Terror and the Erebus, caught in the Artic ice, and only recently discovered. The series stars Ciarán Hinds (Bleed for This, Game of Thrones, Red Sparrow) as Captain John Franklin, Tobias Menzies (Game of Thrones, Outlander) and Jared Harris (The Crown, Mad Men). It has been executive produced by Ridley Scott (Blade Runner 2049), David W. Zucker (The Man in the High Castle), and Guymon Cassady (Game of Thrones). The miniseries is based on the novel The Terror, by Dan Simmons, published to critical acclaim in 2006. David Kajganich has noted that the “novel is that rare combination of fascinating actual history, ground- breaking genre storytelling, and the complex character work of literature. He added that “the chance to launch a series that incorporates all of these elements going forward, and with a team of this caliber, is extraordinary”. Last month, the Canadian Broadcasting Company discussed The Terror, setting up its historical context and showcasing the authenticity in the reconstruction of the period: “Missing for 170 years now, the bodies of the 129 crew members of Sir John Franklin's Northwest Passage expedition likely litter King William Island, Nunavut. The remains that have been found show signs that in their last moments, those men ate each other. If these are the facts of the real-life Arctic mystery, perhaps it's not surprising that the story is getting a fictional horror treatment in an upcoming television series. Named for one of Franklin's two ships, HMS Terror, the show blends facts with Inuit legend. Nive Nielsen, the lead actress, an Inuk woman born in Nuuk, Greenland, said she appreciated the show's commitment to research and accuracy. "There isn't a lot of roles for Inuit people," she said. "I thought it was nice, that they were actually combing throughout the Arctic to find a real Inuk actress, it's nice that they are trying to stay true to the culture because a lot of the times, you see movies and they just put on people from other cultures to play our parts and it's not very accurate. Nielsen is better known for her music, with Nive and the Deer Children, but acted in Terrence Malik’s The New World in 2005”. The series was filmed in Budapest and an area of Croatia that stood for the Arctic--windswept and treeless. The real Franklin ships are still submerged in the ocean near Gjoa Haven, Nunavut, so the show built a full re-creation in the Budapest studio. About the Director: David Kajganich was born on November 15, 1969 in Lorain, Ohio. He studied fiction writing at the University of Iowa’s renowned Writers Workshop, teaching writing and literature before selling a spec script, “Town Creek”, and moving to Los Angeles in 2003. IMDb notes that he also worked as a wilderness guide and medic. In 2006 Variety listed him as one of the ten screenwriters to watch. His writing credits include The Invasion (2007, dir. Oliver Hirschbiegel), Blood Creek (2009, dir. Joel Schumacher), True Story (2015, dir. Rupert Goold), A Bigger Splash (dir. Luca Guadagnino), several episodes of The Terror (2018), and the forthcoming Suspiria (dir. Luca Guadagnino, based on characters created by Dario Argento). In an interview with the British newspaper The Guardian (October 4, 2016), Kajganich offered a tip that our budding screenwriters in the CTVA Department can put to good use – to the delight of their professors, especially those like myself teaching film history and esthetics: "I hope this doesn't sound cranky, but I think aspiring writers should find a script to use as a model for formatting and then watch great films instead. I've only read one "screenwriting" book in my life and the subject of the book was the importance of ignoring typical narrative models taught by other screenwriting books. It felt like I'd entered some kind of "how-to" death spiral, so I got the hell out of it and went back to just watching terrific films and taking them apart to learn how they were built." Program notes prepared by María Elena de las Carreras, film studies lecturer, Department of Cinema and Television Arts.

  • Allegory, Allegoresis, and Suspiria
    JULIAN MURPHET Allegory, Allegoresis, and Suspiria Is ours an especially allegorical age? Do we routinely—if not automatically— reach for further levels of meaning behind every cultural datum? It is a time of excruciating literalness, to be sure, each passing year seeming to diminish the shared connotational repertoire to some bare minimum of available reference points, as the total mass and weave of “text” (now superabundantly audio-visual and digital) exceeds any capacity for collective, let alone individual, incorporation. 1 That sheer proliferation of cultural material, its unstoppable differentiation and diffusion, may well occultly call out for higher-order synthesis and reunification—as if, reassembled aright, the innumerable pieces might be seen to spell out a tale of the tribe. But efforts at doing so—like Propp’s Russian folktales, Levi-Strauss’s “pensée sauvage,” Barthes’s Mythologies, or Aby Warburg’s Atlas Mnemosyne—are thin on the ground these days; testimony, no doubt, to the impossible scale of the task. Here, indeed, allegory suggests itself as a working solution to the acephalous and multiplying infinity of cultural “stuff” in an ethno-religiously diverse, ever-expanding world population, as some of us desperately strive to work from each centrifugally charged fragment towards a usable collective reservoir of sense. Often enough, of course, the task is done for us by a marketplace of gratifying capital-intensive artefacts whose master code is the prevalent one of surplus value: our attention to the object, and the price of admission, amounting to the not-so- elusive meaning itself. The allegory here catches us in its web and demotes the “literal level” of the text to a mere prop within a ubiquitous cultural drama, namely consumption.

  • Luca Guadagnino Regis Dialogue Formatted
    Luca Guadagnino Dialogue with Scott Foundas, 2019 Scott Foundas: We're here at the Walker Art Center for a dialogue with Luca Guadagnino. Tonight's program is entitled Luca Guadagnino: Love and Horror, in which I'll talk with Luca about his remarkable career as a filmmaker. Scott Foundas: Luca Guadagnino was already 38 when I Am Love, his breakthrough feature, screened at Lincoln Center in MOMA's New Directors, New Films festival in New York, though he had already been working in film for a decade, with two narrative features, several documentaries and shorts to his credit. But I Am Love felt like a debut, announcing a director drunk on the possibilities of cinema and in total command of the medium. It was a dizzying rush of images, sounds, sense, textures and tastes, all meticulously choreographed by cinematographer Yorick Le Saux's pirouetting camera and scored to the adagio strings of composer John Adams. Above all, there was Tilda Swinton, Guadagnino's frequent collaborator, glorious as the wife of a wealthy businessman who finds herself falling for the charms of a much younger chef. Scott Foundas: Guadagnino's films pulsate with such currents of longing and desire, which sweep the characters helplessly towards both freedom and loss. Whether it's the decadent British rock star and her entourage baking under the Pantellerian sun in A Bigger Splash, or the American ex-pat family in Crema hosting a summer visitor in the Oscar-winning Call Be My Your Name. Even Guadagnino's latest, Suspiria, an ostensible foray into the horror genre, is, at heart, very much a darkly romantic melodrama, in which the stirrings of the heart prove to be the most powerful witchcraft of all.
