Carpenter said he is appealing the election because of the many complaints about seniors being denied the right to vote. ”Considering that I'm a senior student, the potential was there for lost votes." he said. Brauns said Carpenter trailed candidate Paul Briggs by 66 votes. The elections board planned to have a voting boothmear Williams Hall, to be manned by students of Agriculture and Life Sciences (ALS). “I was under the impression they were going to have it," Brauns said, ”But the school council for ALS decided it wouldn’t be necessary because not enough people were running for senate seats." Carpenter said that since he is a student in ALS. the booth might have. enhanced his vote. People voting more than once was also a problem, Carpenter said. “Some didn't have their ID's stamped and I can provide evidence for that." If Carpenter is granted his appeal. he will be placed on the ballot for the run-offs.

  • Šablona -- Závěrečná Práce
    Ohebnost zvuku ve filmové tvorbě Davida Lynche Ann Kuznetzova Bakalářská práce 2020 ABSTRAKT Tato práce se zaměřuje na analýzu zvukové tvorby Davida Lynche, především filmové, na příkladu jeho audiovizuálních děl Mazací hlava, Příběh Alvina Straighta, Inland Empire a jejich srovnání. Zabývá se způsobem ztvárnění idejí a určením charakteru zvukové tvorby Davida Lynche. Hlavním cílem je zjistit, do jaké míry je podstatná a v čem spočívá její určující dominantní vlastnost – ohebnost, a také prozkoumat vliv jiných druhů umění, osob, prostředí a událostí, které tvůrce dovedly k vlastnímu uměleckému sebevyjádření prostřednictvím zvuku. Obsahuje také rozhovor se zvukovým inženýrem Johnem Neffem, který se podělil o svoji zkušenost ze spolupráce s Lynchem. Klíčová slova: David Lynch, filmový zvuk, filmová hudba, Mazací hlava, Příběh Alvina Straighta, Inland Empire, Angelo Badalamenti, Alan Splet, Dean Hurley, John Neff ABSTRACT This Bachelor thesis focuses on the soundtrack in the cinematography of David Lynch with its primary goal of analyzing and comparing films of his authorship, in particular Eraserhead, The Straight Story, and Inland Empire. This thesis examines David Lynch’s creative process and establish the essence of his sound design. The aim is to determine wherein lies – and how major of a role plays – the dominant characteristic of David Lynch’s work, its versatility, as well as to explore how the environment, society, and different fields of art influenced the filmmaker in his own artistic expression through the language of sound. To further help answering those questions, an interview with a sound engineer, John Neff, was conducted, in which he talked about his experience of collaborating with David Lynch on several projects.

  • 101 Films for Filmmakers
    101 (OR SO) FILMS FOR FILMMAKERS The purpose of this list is not to create an exhaustive list of every important film ever made or filmmaker who ever lived. That task would be impossible. The purpose is to create a succinct list of films and filmmakers that have had a major impact on filmmaking. A second purpose is to help contextualize films and filmmakers within the various film movements with which they are associated. The list is organized chronologically, with important film movements (e.g. Italian Neorealism, The French New Wave) inserted at the appropriate time. AFI (American Film Institute) Top 100 films are in blue (green if they were on the original 1998 list but were removed for the 10th anniversary list). Guidelines: 1. The majority of filmmakers will be represented by a single film (or two), often their first or first significant one. This does not mean that they made no other worthy films; rather the films listed tend to be monumental films that helped define a genre or period. For example, Arthur Penn made numerous notable films, but his 1967 Bonnie and Clyde ushered in the New Hollywood and changed filmmaking for the next two decades (or more). 2. Some filmmakers do have multiple films listed, but this tends to be reserved for filmmakers who are truly masters of the craft (e.g. Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick) or filmmakers whose careers have had a long span (e.g. Luis Buñuel, 1928-1977). A few filmmakers who re-invented themselves later in their careers (e.g. David Cronenberg–his early body horror and later psychological dramas) will have multiple films listed, representing each period of their careers.

  • Smashing the Small Screen David Lynch, Twin Peaks and Reinventing Television
    Smashing the Small Screen David Lynch, Twin Peaks and Reinventing Television KYLE BARRETT David Lynch began his career as a fine artist and his films have always had a strong sense of visual style, even within the conventions of narrative cinema, which tends to fore­ ground effectswork or script-based character development over aesthetic verisimilitude. -Odell (163) Moving into filmmakingwith his debut animated short Six Figures Get­ ting Sick {1967), David Lynch developed subversive filmmaking techniques that would later be employed in his later live-action shorts and feature films. Many stylistic elements have evolved fromhis earlier work, including the use of an experimental soundscape, wide-angles, long sustained close-ups and use (and absence) of color. Jane Evans Braziel notes, "His visual style, influ­ enced by artists Francis Bacon, Jackson Pollock and Edward Hopper, balances narrative with non-representational images. The effectis a startling beautiful, if bizarre and sometimes horrifying, montage of sights, sounds, bodies, lights and movement that denaturalises the parameters of space and time, and con­ ventions of embodiment, violence, sex, desire and gender" {108). Both embracing and abandoning conventional production practices, Lynch has created an easily identifiable-"Lynchian" -style, successfully translated to the small screen with the seminal Twin Peaks (1990-91). Lynch's firstfeature film, Eraserhead, became a cult hit on the midnight movie circuit, leading to directing duties on the Mel Brooks-produced The Elephant Man. The critical success of this gave Lynch the chance to direct a big budget science fictionfilm, Dune, the result of which became a box-office 47 48 Approaching Twin Peaks and critical failure.

  • Brotherly Love, David Lynch-Style.” Art in America
    Epstein, Edward. “Brotherly Love, David Lynch-Style.” Art in America. 11 September 2014. Web. Magazine. BROTHERLY LOVE, DAVID LYNCH-STYLE By Edward Epstein Best known as the Academy Award-nominated director of such films as Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive, David Lynch is also a prolific painter and printmaker. Nearly 100 of his works make up a retrospective, "The Unified Field," at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) in Philadelphia (Sept. 13, 2014-Jan. 11, 2015), where he trained as a painter and made his first forays into filmmaking during the late 1960s. Like his films, Lynch's paintings often feature grotesque bodies, violent scenes and images of decay. Large works in paint and mixed mediums on cardboard, such as Pete Goes to his Girlfriend's House (2009) and I Burn Pinecone and Throw In Your House (2009), showcase the kind of weird domestic intrigue that is at the heart of Lynch's first major film, Eraserhead (1977). Each of these paintings features a hideous-looking character performing a destructive act, with small lights and other objects affixed to the panel and the title of the work scrawled in child-like letters. The artist credits the distressed cityscape of Philadelphia, where he spent four years, as a primary influence. Living there during the height of the chaos, neglect and racial animosity that accompanied white flight, Lynch experienced the City of Brotherly Love at its least loving. Although it was filmed in Los Angeles, Eraserhead's landscape bears a striking resemblance to the acres of deserted warehouses that cover the areas north of Philadelphia's center—an area that has been dubbed "The Eraserhood" by local artists.

  • The Cinema of David Lynch: the Fleeting Mosaic Apparition of Selfhood
    © Otto Lehto, 2008 The Cinema of David Lynch: The Fleeting Mosaic Apparition of Selfhood 0. Abstract In this paper I will explore the directorial work of David Lynch. First, in chapter one, I situate him in a film historical context, narrate the chronology of his works, divide his output into the “two Lynches” (commercial vs. avant-garde) and unveil the narratological and thematic continuity across what I call his “Mystery Film” series (1977-2006). In the second chapter I introduce a bit of theory, a mélange of ideas imported from the fields of film theory, psychology, sociology and semiotics. I argue for the unity of psychological and narrative continuity (temporality) in film. In the third chapter I show that Lynch, whose narrativity is always internal narrativity, is exemplary in this regard. Therein I undertake a psychological-structural-narratological-semiotic analysis of Lynch’s 1997 film “Lost Highway”, which I believe to be especially psycho-intensive (cf. “psychogenic fugue”) and immersed in semio-plenitude (cf. Eco’s opera aperta ). I come to argue in favour of the spectator-theory of meaning-structuration. In the final chapter I summarize my findings, make a few further comparisons to other Lynch films and leave the field open for alternative interpretations. 1. Lynch as an Auteur - a Film Historical Perspective Some American auteurs, as well as some non-American auteurs who like to keep one foot (or is that one sole, i.e. one soul ) in Hollywood, spend their careers oscillating between independent (indie) productions, their true passion, and the everyday run-o’-the-mill studio productions, their “day job”.

    MoMA PRESENTS A WEEK-LONG RUN OF ERASERHEAD, DAVID LYNCH’S DEBUT FEATURE Screening of a New Print Recently Restored by the Museum Preservation Funding provided by The Film Foundation and The Hollywood Foreign Press Association PREMIERES: ERASERHEAD January 18–24, 2007 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters NEW YORK, December 20, 2006—The Museum of Modern Art presents David Lynch’s debut feature, Eraserhead (1977), in a new print recently restored by the Museum, with funding provided by The Film Foundation and The Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The film is being screened for a weeklong run January 18–24, 2007, in The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters, as part of the ongoing Premieres series. This screening is organized by Steven Higgins, Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art. When it was released, David Lynch’s Eraserhead was immediately hailed as a nightmarish vision of parenthood and relationships. Shot in grainy black and white, the film’s informal narrative concerns the travails of a couple (Jack Nance and Charlotte Stewart) as they deal with the arrival of a humanoid baby with alien features and a ravenous appetite. The expressionistic look and feel of the film, its industrial soundtrack, and a claustrophobic domestic setting populated by characters who exhibit a mixture of ennui and bewilderment established Lynch as an assured director of offbeat and unsettling work, which he was to parlay into even greater successes in later years. PLEASE JOIN US FOR THE FOLLOWING PRESS SCREENING ON THU., JANUARY 4: 10:00 Eraserhead. 89 min. R.S.V.P.
