WINGS, den einzigen Stummfilm, der vor THE ARTIST (FR/BE 2011) in diesem Jahr je den Oscar® als Bester Film gewann, zeigen wir am Sonntag, 16. Dezember, in einer Matinee. Kurz vor Weihnachten bieten zwei Filme im doppelt breiten 70mm-Format noch einmal einen ganz besonderen Filmgenuss. Die beiden vom Academy Film Archive restaurierten 70mm-Kopien von PATTON (USA 1970, R: Franklin Schaffner) und THE SOUND OF MUSIC (USA 1965, R: Robert Wise) bestechen durch eine einzigartige Bildqualität. Vervollständigt wird die Filmreihe durch einige jüngere Best Pictures mit Kultstatus. Zum 18. Mal präsentiert unser Kino im Dezember das italienische Filmfestival Verso Sud. Unter dem Titel „Neues italienisches Kino“ sind zehn aktuelle Filme in der Originalsprache mit Untertiteln zu sehen. Die diesjährige Hommage ist Luigi Lo Cascio gewidmet, der seit 2000 nicht nur zu den populärsten Schauspielern Italiens zählt, sondern in diesem Jahr auch mit LA CITTÀ IDEALE (IT 2012) sein erfolgreiches Regiedebüt gab. Harun Farocki, bekannter Filmemacher und Hochschul- dozent, ist am Donnerstag, 13. Dezember, in unserem Kino zu Gast. Er spricht in einer Lecture über Jean-Luc Godards ELOGE DE L’AMOUR und über den Mut Go- dards, gänzlich neuartige Filme zu machen. Ein Original-Requisit von den Dreharbeiten zu Quentin Ta- rantinos INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS aus dem Besitz des Studio Babelsberg ist seit Ende Oktober im Deutschen Filmmuseum zu sehen. Die Leuchtschrift des Kinos „Le Gamaar“, in dem im Film ein Anschlag auf Hitler verübt wird und das zum Finale des Films explodiert, schmückt das Foyer des Museums und ist gleichzeitig ein charman- ter Wegweiser zum Kino des Hauses. Herzlichen Dank an das Filmstudio Babelsberg für dieses attraktive Exponat. Wir wünschen Ihnen spannende Unterhaltung in unserem Museum und in unserem Kino! 5 VERSO SUD 18 – FESTIVAL DES ITALIENISCHEN FILMS Aktuelles italienisches Kino in der Originalfassung mitten in Frankfurt: Das Filmfestival Verso Sud holt vom 30. Novem- ber bis 10. Dezember zum 18. Mal Filmkunst aus Italien ins Kino des Deutschen Filmmuseums. Präsentiert werden insgesamt 16 Filme in der Originalfas- sung mit Untertiteln, von denen die meisten bisher nicht in deutschen Kinos zu sehen waren. In der Sektion „Neues italienisches Kino“ laufen aktuelle Kinoproduktionen, unter denen sich neben Werken von Regiegrößen wie Ermanno Olmi und Giuliano Montaldo drei Regiedebüts finden. Als Vorpremiere ist der diesjährige Berlinale-Gewinner CESARE DEVE MORIRE der Brüder Paolo und Vittorio Taviani zu sehen. Eröffnet wird das Festival am Freitag, 30. November, mit dem Erstlingswerk SCIALLA, das der Regisseur Francesco Bruni präsentiert. Die Hommage ist dem Schauspieler und Regisseur Luigi Lo Cascio gewidmet, der am Samstag, 1. Dezember, in Frank- furt zu Gast ist. Mit seinem Spielfilmdebüt I CENTO PASSI (2000) stieg er zu einem der vielversprechendsten Nach- wuchsschauspieler des Landes auf. Inzwischen zählt er mit seinen präzisen und zugleich leidenschaftlichen Charakter- porträts zur Riege der bekanntesten Schauspieler Italiens. Bei den diesjährigen Filmfestspielen in Venedig sorgte sein Regiedebüt LA CITTÀ IDEALE für Furore. 6 VERSO SUD IL MIO DOMANI Die Zukunft liegt vor mir Italien 2011.

Actors mingle and clash in the best possible lighting, and conversation is fraught with wit and emotion. The director usually gets the bulk of the credit. But before he or she can play the consummate host, someone must carefully select the right guests, send out the invites, and keep track of the RSVPs”. ‘OSCARS: The Role Of Casting Director’ by Monica Corcoran Harel, The Deadline Team, December 6, 2012 Playing one of the key roles in creating that successful “dinner” is the Casting Director, but someone who is often over-looked in the recognition department. Everyone sees the actor at work, but very few people see the hours of research, the intrinsic skills, the gut instinct that the Casting Director puts into finding just the right person for just the right role. It’s a mix of routine and inspiration which brings the characters we come to love, and sometimes to hate, to the big screen. The Casting Director’s delicate work as liaison between director, actors, their agent/manager and the studio/network figures prominently in decisions which can make or break a project. It’s a job that can't garner an Oscar, but its mighty importance is always felt behind the scenes. In July 2013, the Academy of Motion Pictures of Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) created a new branch for Casting Directors, and we are thrilled that a number of members of the International Casting Directors Network are amongst the first Casting Directors invited into the Academy.

  • Sight & Sound Films of 2007
    Sight & Sound Films of 2007 Each year we ask a selection of our contributors - reviewers and critics from around the world - for their five films of the year. It's a very loosely policed subjective selection, based on films the writer has seen and enjoyed that year, and we don't deny them the choice of films that haven't yet reached the UK. And we don't give them much time to ponder, either - just about a week. So below you'll find the familiar and the obscure, the new and the old. From this we put together the top ten you see here. What distinguishes this particular list is that it's been drawn up from one of the best years for all-round quality I can remember. 2007 has seen some extraordinary films. So all of the films in the ten are must-sees and so are many more. Enjoy. - Nick James, Editor. 1 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (Cristian Mungiu) 2 Inland Empire (David Lynch) 3 Zodiac (David Fincher) = 4 I’m Not There (Todd Haynes) The Lives of Others (Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck) 6 Silent Light (Carlos Reygadas) = 7 The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (Andrew Dominik) Syndromes and a Century (Apichatpong Weerasethakul) No Country for Old Men (Ethan and Joel Coen) Eastern Promises (David Cronenberg) 1 Table of Contents – alphabetical by critic Gilbert Adair (Critic and author, UK)............................................................................................4 Kaleem Aftab (Critic, The Independent, UK)...............................................................................4 Geoff Andrew (Critic

  • The New Order of Hitler: Virtual History, Fiction and Myth
    DEBATER A EUROPA Periódico do CIEDA e do CEIS20 , em parceria com GPE e a RCE. N.13 julho/dezembro 2015 – Semestral ISSN 1647-6336 Disponível em: http://www.europe-direct-aveiro.aeva.eu/debatereuropa/ The New Order of Hitler: Virtual History, Fiction and Myth Sérgio Neto Researcher of CEIS20, University of Coimbra E-mail: [email protected] Abstract At the intersection of counterfactual Historiography and literary fantasy, the triumph of the Axis powers in World War II has been one of the main issues. The resurgence of a hypothetical IV Reich also results extensive. Similarly, cinema has not failed to go over the old question of “if”. This article intent to analyse some virtual literature and historical works of reference about the New European Order in order to discuss possible inspiration that science awoke this genre and concepts revolving around the revisionism and determinism. Keywords: New European Order; Counterfactuals; Dystopia; Historiography; Fantasy When the German army completed the conquest of Poland in September 1939 the New European Order began to take shape. The euphemistic name of that brutal military occupation was in fact more incisive than the name given to the Japanese occupied areas: Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere 1. But, the main issue was if Hitler’s projects achieved in a few years the degree of dehumanization promised by the propaganda with the so called Reich of a Thousand Years. Based on the assumptions outlined by Mein Kampf , as well as the improvisations made during the course of the war, the dreams and fantasies of world domination were analysed not only by the historiography, but widely widespread by the alternate story genre.

  • Barry Langford Paper1 ENG
    Workshop 4: Perpetrators in Movies and the Role of Film Education Barry Langford, Royal Holloway, University of London The Dramatic Portrayal of Perpetrators in Holocaust Film [DRAFT] Since the end of World War II, and particularly over the last thirty years, the Holocaust has been dramatised onscreen numerous times. Many different aspects of the genocide, from the experience of Jewish life in occupied Europe (The Last Metro, Aimee & Jaguar) and the Polish ghettoes (Schindler’s List, Jakob the Liar, The Pianist), Jewish armed resistance (Uprising, Defiance), and survival and death in the camps themselves (Triumph of the Spirit, The Grey Zone, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas) have supplied the premise for screen dramas, some based closely on recorded fact, some largely or wholly fictitious. It has indeed become possible to speak, with or without scare quotes, of “Holocaust film” as a genre in its own right.1 Few of these, however, have centred on the portrayal of perpetrators. Although Hitler himself continues to exert a demonic fascination for filmmakers and – perhaps especially – for actors ranging from Alec Guinness and Bruno Ganz to Steven berkoff and Robert Carlyle, the overwhelming majority of Holocaust films prefer as their protagonists the Jewish victims of the Holocaust and/or their German or other Gentile sympathisers and rescuers; or almost as frequently, children, whose own limited comprehension of events throws the moral universe of the Holocaust into even starker relief (for example, Au Revoir Les Enfants). Such preferences may be understandable enough for commercial reasons: almost by definition, a feature-length drama spent in the company of an unrepentant mass murderer or accessory to mass murder forecloses on the redemptive trajectory or “character arc” on which much commercial narrative cinema depends.2 1 See Barry Langford, Film Genre: Hollywood and Beyond (Edinburgh University Press, 2005), pp.

  • Whose Hi/Story Is It? the U.S. Reception of Downfall
    Whose Hi/story Is It? The U.S. Reception of Downfall David Bathrick Before I address the U.S. media response to the fi lm Downfall, I would like to mention a methodological problem that I encountered time and again when researching this essay: whether it is possible to speak of reception in purely national terms in this age of globalization, be it a foreign fi lm or any other cultural artifact. Generally speaking, Bernd Eichinger’s large-scale production Downfall can be considered a success in America both fi nancially and critically. On its fi rst weekend alone in New York City it broke box-offi ce records for the small repertory movie theater Film Forum, grossing $24,220, despite its consider- able length, some two and a half hours, and the fact that it was shown in the original with subtitles. Nationally, audience attendance remained unusually high for the following twelve weeks, compared with average fi gures for other German fi lms made for export markets.1 Downfall, which grossed $5,501,940 to the end of October 2005, was an unequivocal box-offi ce hit. One major reason for its success was certainly the content. Adolf Hit- ler, in his capacity as star of the silver screen, has always been a suffi cient This article originally appeared in Das Böse im Blick: Die Gegenwart des Nationalsozialismus im Film, ed. Margrit Frölich, Christian Schneider, and Karsten Visarius (Munich: edition text und kritik, 2007). 1. The only more recent fi lm to earn equivalent revenue was Nirgendwo in Afrika.

Introduction to Italian Cinema I. Italian Cinema from the 1940's to its Golden Period in the 1960's through the 1970's. Films will be viewed in their cultural, aesthetic and/or historical context. Readings and guiding questionnaires will help students develop appropriate viewing skills. Films will be shown in Italian with English subtitles. Graded: Graded Student. Units: 3.0 COURSE GOALS and METHODS: To develop a critical knowledge of Italian film history and film techniques and an aesthetic appreciation for cinema, attain more than a mere acquaintance or a broad understanding of specific artistic (cinematographic) forms, genres, and cultural sources, that is, to learn about Italian civilization (politics, art, theatre and customs) through cinema. Guiding questionnaires will also be distributed on a regular basis to help students achieve these goals. All questionnaires will be graded. Weekly discussions will help students appreciate connections between cinema and art and literary movements, between Italian cinema and American film, as well as to deal with questionnaires. You are required to view the films in the best possible conditions, i.e. on a large screen in class. Viewing may be enjoyable but is not meant to be exclusively entertaining.
