This year’s selection is The Hunchback of Notre Dame, based on the Victor Hugo novel and starring Lon Chaney. The screening will close- out Silent Movie Month in Ithaca. Then in November, Cornell Cinema welcomes back the Cambridge-based Alloy Orchestra for a two-day engagement. Founded in 1991, the group has been composing and performing their original scores for an array of silent films ever since, and Cornell Cinema has had the pleasure of hosting them, on a near-annual basis, ever since the late ‘90s. The three-man ensemble, known to sound like a twelve-piece orchestra, is made-up of Roger C. Miller on synthesizer; Terry Donahue on junk percussion, accordion, saw and banjo; and Ken Winokur on junk percussion and clarinet. The group has played a major role in the resurgence of interest in silent films shown with live musical accompaniment over their near 30-year history, introducing new audiences to the wonders of silent film year after year, and inspiring other musicians to apply their talents to the unique task of composing for silent films. They’ll perform with the definitive restoration of Fritz Lang’s dystopian epic, Metropolis, on November 8, and with a brand-new restoration of French actor/director Jaque Catelain’s Gallery of Monsters, a tale of love, danger & the circus, on Saturday, November 9, followed by a Q & A with the musicians. The Alloy Orchestra’s score for the film was commissioned by Indiana University Cinema and the Indiana University Office of the Bicentennial. The Alloy’s visit is cosponsored with the Cornell Council for the Arts, the Departments of Romance Studies & Music, and the Wharton Studio Museum. The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923) - FREE Oct 29 Directed by Wallace Worsley w/live accompaniment by Dennis James Metropolis (1927) Nov 8 Directed by Fritz Lang w/live accompaniment by The Alloy Orchestra Gallery of Monsters (1924) Nov 9 Directed by Jaque Catelain w/live accompaniment by The Alloy Orchestra Human Flow: Stories of Global Migration In conjunction with the Herbert F. Johnson Museum’s exhibition “how the light gets in,” contemporary artworks in many mediums that look at the movement of people across the globe and the welcome cracks that develop in our notions of borders and nation states, Cornell Cinema presents this semester-long film series, comprised of recent documentary and feature films from around the world, all Ithaca premieres with the exception of Transit. Providing a special opportunity to learn about the people, personalities and circumstances behind the faces we see and headlines we read every day in the news, the series offers a wide-ranging glimpse of migrants from Africa, Asia, Central America and the Middle East. According to the United Nations’ 2017 International Migration 2 Report, the number of international migrants worldwide has grown significantly over the past two decades, reaching 258 million in 2017, up from 173 million in 2000, so that we are now witnessing the highest levels of movement on record. That figure is expected to grow to 405 million by 2050. The series explores the many reasons individuals decide to migrate, including wars and gang violence, political and religious persecution, climate change resulting in droughts, floods and other natural disasters, and economic hardship. Some of the films draw comparisons with historical moments lest we forget what can happen when we turn our backs on global injustices, others draw inspiration from the migrants themselves, who display extraordinary resilience, even humor, in the face of extreme hardship, and others cast a light on individuals who are trying to help or those erecting barriers in the face of the crisis. Andrea Inselmann, the curator of the Museum’s exhibition, will be on hand at the first screening, The River and the Wall, to talk about the work in the show and how it offers additional viewpoints with which to consider this massive human flow. Cosponsored with the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, the Office of the Vice Provost for International Affairs, the Latin American Studies Program and Cornell Welcomes Refugees. The River and the Wall (2018) Aug 29 Directed by Ben Masters The Citizen (2017) Sept 4 Directed by Roland Vranik Island of the Hungry Ghosts (2018) Sept 11 Directed by Gabrielle Brady Toward North: Central American Shorts (2017/18) - FREE Sept 17 Directed by Joshua Bennett & others Eldorado (2018) Sept 17 Directed by Markus Imhoof Styx (2018) Sept 20 Directed by Wolfgang Fischer Through the Repellent Fence: A Land Art Film (2017) Sept 26 Directed by Sam Wainwright Douglas Soufra (2017) Oct 2 Directed by Thomas Morgan Transit (2018) Oct 6 Directed by Christian Petzold Chez Jolie Coiffure (2019) Oct 16 Directed by Rosine Mbakam Mariannes noires (2016) - FREE Oct 17 Directed by Mame-Fatou Niang & Kaytie Nielsen w/filmmaker Mame-Fatou Niang in person The Farewell (2019) Oct 17, 18, 19 Directed by Lulu Wang Midnight Traveler (2018) Oct 23 Directed by Hassan Fazili Tazzeka (2018) Oct 30, 31 Directed by Jean-Philippe Gaud Manta Ray (2018) Nov 6 Directed by Phuttiphong Aroonpheng Taste of Cement (2017) Nov 13 Directed by Ziad Kalthoum Djibril Diop Mambéty x 2 Djibril Diop Mambéty was a Senegalese director, actor, composer, and poet. With a small body of work made in a short amount of time (2 feature films and 5 shorts before his death at age 53), Mambéty, along with fellow West African filmmakers Ousmane Sembène and Souleyman Cissé, explored the repercussions of colonialism in allegorical tales of rebellion and greed. Hyenas, shown in a new digital restoration, is a tale about a rich woman who returns to the hometown that cast her out, offering the villagers untold wealth in exchange for a sacrifice. Made twenty years earlier, Touki Bouki is “a formally adventurous take-down of the futile dreams of wealth and 3 refinement that French colonialism never tired of imposing” (Screen Slate) on West Africa. The 2008 restoration by the Cineteca di Bologna and Martin Scorsese’s World Cinema Project highlight the film’s sumptuous colors and inventive soundtrack, making it a must-see on the big screen! Both films are screening in conjunction with the Fall courses New Visions in African Cinema, taught by Naminata Diabate (Comparative Literature), and Africa: The Continent and its People, taught by N’Dri Assie-Lumumba (ASRC). It’s worth noting that Mambéty’s niece, filmmaker Mati Diop, became the first black woman to win the prestigious Palme d’Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival for her feature directorial debut Atlantics, a magical-realist take on the migrant crisis.

  • A Historical Analysis of the Films of Andrei Tarkovsky in Relation to the Post-Thaw Soviet Moment
    A Historical Analysis of the Films of Andrei Tarkovsky in Relation to the Post-Thaw Soviet Moment Gus Helbock Haverford College Class of 2017 History Thesis Professor Linda Gerstein Professor James Krippner April 21, 2017 Helbock i Acknowledgements First, I would like to thank the professors at Haverford College who guided me through my educational experience, especially in the History Department. Specifically, I am grateful for the help that Professor Linda Gerstein and Professor James Krippner provided as my first reader/advisor and second reader, respectively. The advice they gave me and the historical insight they provided were integral in the completion of this thesis. I would also like to thank my family and friends who have given me love and support throughout the entirety of the thesis process. Helbock ii Abstract During the latter half of the twentieth century, Andrei Tarkovsky received arguably more critical admiration for his films than any Soviet director. During his filmmaking career, the Soviet Union experienced a tumultuous socio-cultural, as well as political, moment. After the death of Stalin, the Khrushchev Thaw of the late 1950s and early 1960s allowed for significantly more freedom of expression. It was at this time that Tarkovsky’s career began. However, through the 1960s and 1970s, a reactionary period in Soviet politics led to a return of stringent censorship, making Tarkovsky’s filmmaking process difficult. In the early 1980s, Tarkovsky emigrated to Western Europe, where he completed his final two films before his death in 1986. Due to his contentious relationship with the Soviet state, this thesis will attempt to analyze Tarkovsky and assess his relationship to the Russian intelligentsia and the dissident movements of the late twentieth century, as well as his relationship with spirituality and religion.
