    Mike Traina, professor Petaluma office #674, (707) 778-3687 Hours: Tues 3-5pm, Wed 2-5pm [email protected] Additional days by appointment Media 10: Film Appreciation Wednesdays 6-10pm in the Carole L. Ellis Auditorium Course Syllabus, Spring 2017 READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY! Welcome to the Spring Cinema Series… a unique opportunity to learn about cinema in an interdisciplinary, cinematheque-style environment open to the general public! Throughout the term we will invite a variety of special guests to enrich your understanding of the films in the series. The films will be preceded by formal introductions and followed by public discussions. You are welcome and encouraged to bring guests throughout the term! This is not a traditional class, therefore it is important for you to review the course assignments and due dates carefully to ensure that you fulfill all the requirements to earn the grade you desire. We want the Cinema Series to be both entertaining and enlightening for students and community alike. Welcome to our college film club! COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will introduce students to one of the most powerful cultural and social communications media of our time: cinema. The successful student will become more aware of the complexity of film art, more sensitive to its nuances, textures, and rhythms, and more perceptive in “reading” its multilayered blend of image, sound, and motion. The films, texts, and classroom materials will cover a broad range of domestic, independent, and international cinema, making students aware of the culture, politics, and social history of the periods in which the films were produced.

  • The Historian-Filmmaker's Dilemma: Historical Documentaries in Sweden in the Era of Häger and Villius
    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS UPSALIENSIS Studia Historica Upsaliensia 210 Utgivna av Historiska institutionen vid Uppsala universitet genom Torkel Jansson, Jan Lindegren och Maria Ågren 1 2 David Ludvigsson The Historian-Filmmaker’s Dilemma Historical Documentaries in Sweden in the Era of Häger and Villius 3 Dissertation in History for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy presented at Uppsala University in 2003 ABSTRACT Ludvigsson, David, 2003: The Historian-Filmmaker’s Dilemma. Historical Documentaries in Sweden in the Era of Häger and Villius. Written in English. Acta Universitatis Upsalien- sis. Studia Historica Upsaliensia 210. (411 pages). Uppsala 2003. ISSN 0081-6531. ISBN 91-554-5782-7. This dissertation investigates how history is used in historical documentary films, and ar- gues that the maker of such films constantly negotiates between cognitive, moral, and aes- thetic demands. In support of this contention a number of historical documentaries by Swedish historian-filmmakers Olle Häger and Hans Villius are discussed. Other historical documentaries supply additional examples. The analyses take into account both the produc- tion process and the representations themselves. The history culture and the social field of history production together form the conceptual framework for the study, and one of the aims is to analyse the role of professional historians in public life. The analyses show that different considerations compete and work together in the case of all documentaries, and figure at all stages of pre-production, production, and post-produc- tion. But different considerations have particular inuence at different stages in the produc- tion process and thus they are more or less important depending on where in the process the producer puts his emphasis on them.

Pictured in the background to the immediate right of the theater is the building, still standing today, in which Kierkegaard lodged during his four stays in Berlin, in 1841– 42, 1843, 1845, and 1846. It was there, as noted by a plaque outside, that Kierkegaard wrote the first drafts of Either/Or, Repetition, and Fear and Trembling.

Arbetet har handletts av Malin Sveningsson Elm. Härmed intygas att allt material i denna rapport, vilket inte är mitt eget, har blivit tydligt identifierat och att inget material är inkluderat som tidigare använts för erhållande av annan examen. SKÖVDE, 2009-05-11 Signerat: _____________________________________________ 2 Sammanfattning Detta arbete handlar om hur jag har tagit fram koncept och färdiga modeller på fyra karaktärer, två manliga och två kvinnliga. Under arbetets gång har jag försökt ta reda på om jag kan förmedla livsåskådningarna god och ond genom subtilare formelement. Jag valde att använda mig av både ett västerländskt och österländskt perspektiv i min karaktärsdesign. Det västerländska perspektivet på de goda och det österländska på de onda karaktärerna. Jag har studerat bland annat hur vi uppfattar varandra, kroppsspråk, stereotyper och färger. Jag har dessutom jämfört västerländskt tecknade filmer, Walt Disney, med japanskt tecknad animeserier. Jag kom fram till att en blandning av former, stereotyper

  • Rethinking Transcendental Style
    Rethinking Transcendental Style What became of transcendental style? What in the 1950s began as art house cinema has blossomed into the hydra-headed creature we call slow cinema. Bresson and Ozu, seen as esoteric and slow, now are audi- ence friendly compared to the multi-hour epics of Béla Tarr and Lav Diaz and Pedro Costa. A theater experience for art house customers morphed into marginalized audio-video presentations shown only at fi lm festivals and art galleries. What happened? Gilles Deleuze happened. So did Andrei Tarkovsky. And slow cinema was soon to follow. i write a book In 1971, at the age of 24, a grad student a UCLA fi lm school, I had the temerity to write and publish a book titled Transcendental Style in Film. Forty-fi ve years later I found myself on a panel at the annual convention of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies titled “Rethinking Tran- scendental Style: New Approaches in Spirituality and Cinematic Form.” So I started rethinking. How did I come to write the book in the fi rst place and how does its premise hold up after forty-fi ve years? I wasn’t drawn to the topic out of academic obligation or desire to publish. I had a problem and I was looking for an answer. It was the same impulse that caused me to write a screenplay two years later. 1 2 | Rethinking Transcendental Style I was a product of the Christian Reformed Church in Grand Rapids, a Calvinist denomination which at that time proscribed theater attend- ance and other “worldly amusements.” So naturally I was drawn to the forbidden—not the forbidden forbidden, of course, but the acceptable forbidden.

  • By Carl Theodor Dreyer a Kierkegaardian Movie?
    European Journal of Science and Theology, June 2018, Vol.14, No.3, 13-26 _______________________________________________________________________ ‘ORDET’ BY CARL THEODOR DREYER A KIERKEGAARDIAN MOVIE? Igor Tavilla* University of Parma, Dipartimento di Discipline Umanistiche, Sociali e delle Imprese Culturali, Via M. D’Azeglio, 85, 43125 Parma, Italy (Received 20 November 2017, revised 17 December 2017) Abstract „Ordet‟ (The Word, 1954) by Carl Theodor Dreyer (1889-1968) has been considered as a „Kierkegaardian movie‟ for the following basic reasons: a) Kierkegaard is quoted in the script as responsible for the main character‟s madness; b) the movie opposes sectarism and secularized Christianity to the authentic faith in Jesus Christ‟s word; c) as a Danish, Dreyer should have been influenced by the same Scandinavian-Lutheran tradition which affected Kierkegaard‟s works. Several objections can be moved to such a content-focused approach. First and foremost, a film critic should primarily focus on the expressive elements of the movie, through which the author‟s intentions are fully shown. Secondly, Dreyer‟s movie is the screen version of Kaj Munk‟s drama bearing the same title. Finally it is remarkable that Danish critics never considered Kierkegaard as an interpretative key to the movie. The aim of this paper is to provide a strict filmological analysis of „Ordet‟, comparing its formal and stylistic aspects to Søren Kierkegaard‟s existential communication. Focusing on pseudonymity, polyphony, marginal role of editors, contemporaneity with the truth, aut-aut between existential opposite choices, I will endeavour to demonstrate that there are some significant analogies between Dreyer‟s direction and Kierkegaard indirect communication of inwardness.
