  • 1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007
    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

  • “Direct Cinema Is Anything but a Fly on the Wall”: a Conversation with Albert
    i i i i DOI: 10.20287/doc.d20.en1 “Direct cinema is anything but a fly on the wall”: a conversation with Albert Maysles Frank Verano* Albert Maysles, along with his brother David, was a pioneer in American observational documentary in the early 1960s. Revolutionary technological breakthroughs developed by Maysles, producer Robert Drew, and filmmakers Ricky Leacock and D.A. Pennebaker allowed sound and image to be recorded in complete synchronization independent of any physical connectivity; this provided filmmakers a manageable mobility that positioned them to observe and interact with the world in a new way in pursuit of a new cinematic realism. In 1964, Albert coined a term for their practice, which thus distinguished it from the arbitrarily-applied misnomer cinéma vérité: direct cinema. With Albert behind the camera and David recording sound, the Maysleses sought a modern cinematic expression of both the everyday and the extraordi- nary that emphasized a spontaneous present-ness. Their early work exploring performativity and lives on the run set the stage: (Showman [1963], What’s Happening! The Beatles in the USA [1964], Cut Piece [1965], Meet Marlon Brando [1966] and A Visit With Truman Capote [1966]). Cut Piece was just the beginning of the Maysleses’ new cinematic engagement with modern art, which continued in the 1970s in a series of films with Christo and Jeanne- Claude: Christo’s Valley Curtain (1974), Running Fence (1978) and Islands (1986). Their suite of films in the late 1960s and early ’70s represents a furthe- ring of the concept of direct cinema, with an increased emphasis on reflexivity in each.

  • Presentation for Christo and Jeanne Claude
    Presentation for Christo and Jeanne Claude I Slide 1 A fun idea: You may want to wrap an object or package before the presentation. You can wrap it in plain fabric, white paper or colored wrapping paper. Make a big show of it and put it in a conspicuous place when you walk into the room on the day of the presentation. Do not mention it or refer to it. Do the students seem curious? How long before someone asks about it? Is the fact that they do not know what is inside intriguing? Does it make the object more interesting? As most of you know, in Art in the Classroom we look at art and discuss works of art. What is art to you? Let the children give their ideas. Some definitions you might suggest: Expression of what is beautiful Use of skill and creative imagination Art is something out of the ordinary, always incorporating new ideas and techniques. If it wasn’t, wouldn’t it be boring? Slide 2 Show Mona Lisa, Monet’s Bridge at Argentueil and “Yellow Store Front” by Christo Which of these is art? Let the children voice their ideas. What if I told you that they are all art? Today we are going on a trip around the world to look at a pair of artists that do very creative work on a very large scale. They transform the ordinary into something that makes people stop and look at things in a different way. Slide 3 Show “Wrapped bottles and cans” and “wrapped object” Can anyone tell me what these objects are? Is this how you normally see them? What is your initial reaction to it? What could be in the package on the right? Does it make you think and wonder? Why would an artist want to express themselves by wrapping or covering something? What comment would they be making? When we look at art, some of the tools we use to talk about it are the Elements of Art: Color, light, line, shape, texture and space (composition).

  • Title of Dissertation
    SETTING UP CAMP: IDENTIFYING CAMP THROUGH THEME AND STRUCTURE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Michael T. Schuyler January, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Cornelius B. Pratt, Advisory Chair, Strategic Communication John A. Lent, Broadcasting, Telecommunications & Mass Media Paul Swann, Film & Media Arts Roberta Sloan, External Member, Theater i © Copyright 2010 by Michael T. Schuyler All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT Camp scholarship remains vague. While academics don’t shy away from writing about this form, most exemplify it more than define it. Some even refuse to define it altogether, arguing that any such attempt causes more problems than it solves. So, I ask the question, can we define camp via its structure, theme and character types? After all, we can do so for most other genres, such as the slasher film, the situation comedy or even the country song; therefore, if camp relies upon identifiable character types and proliferates the same theme repeatedly, then, it exists as a narrative system. In exploring this, I find that, as a narrative system, though, camp doesn’t add to the dominant discursive system. Rather, it exists in opposition to it, for camp disseminates the theme that those outside of heteronormativity and acceptability triumph not in spite of but because of what makes them “different,” “othered” or “marginalized.” Camp takes many forms. So, to demonstrate its reliance upon a certain structure, stock character types and a specific theme, I look at the overlaps between seemingly disperate examples of this phenomenon.

  • Constantine's Sword HV PK
    James Carroll’s CONSTANTINE’S SWORD A film by Oren Jacoby 96 minutes, color & b/w, 2007 FIRST RUN FEATURES The Film Center Building 630 Ninth Ave. #1213 New York, NY 10036 (212) 243-0600 / Fax (212) 989-7649 www.firstrunfeatures.com www.constantinessword.com SYNOPSIS CONSTANTINE'S SWORD is the latest film by Oscar-nominated director Oren Jacoby (Sister Rose's Passion) and is based on the best-selling book by James Carroll, a National Book Award winner and columnist for the Boston Globe. Carroll is a practicing Catholic whose search for the truth leads him to confront persecution and violence in the name of God – today and in the Church’s past. He discovers a terrible legacy that reverberates across the centuries: from the Emperor Constantine’s vision of the cross as a sword and symbol of power, to the rise of genocidal anti-Semitism, to modern day wars sparked by religious extremism. At its heart, CONSTANTINE’S SWORD is a detective story, as Carroll journeys into his own past (his father was a U.S. Air Force General who helped prepare for nuclear war) and into the wider world, where he uncovers evidence of church-sanctioned violence against non-Christians. At the Air Force Academy, he and Jacoby expose how some evangelicals are proselytizing inside our country's armed forces and reveal the dangerous consequences of religious influence on American foreign policy. Warning of what happens when military power and religious fervor are joined, this timely film asks the question: is the fanaticism that threatens the world today fueled by our own deeply held beliefs? DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT We’re living in a world at war.
