El estudio sobre su poética y su obra fílmica ha sido esporádico por mucho tiempo, y se ha revelado en muchas ocasiones poco provechoso para definir claramente las intenciones estéticas del director. Se distinguen algunos trabajos realizados poco después de su muerte, los cuales ponen en claro las relaciones con las problemáticas de Brasil y el uso de la alegoría como fórmula constante1. Pero una visión de conjunto de la obra nos revela la falta de investigaciones profundas, por ejemplo, sobre la influencia recibida de otros directores. De ahí a sostener que Glauber estuvo influenciado por directores como Buñuel o Eisenstein (u otros nombres del mismo calibre) es una tarea tan fácil como decir que el mar es azul. Pero dar cuenta de estas referencias en su filmografía es una tarea que pocos se han tomado el tiempo de hacer. Los estudios sobre el director se han dirigido hacia otros matices

  • Film, Photojournalism, and the Public Sphere in Brazil and Argentina, 1955-1980
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: MODERNIZATION AND VISUAL ECONOMY: FILM, PHOTOJOURNALISM, AND THE PUBLIC SPHERE IN BRAZIL AND ARGENTINA, 1955-1980 Paula Halperin, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Directed By: Professor Barbara Weinstein Department of History University of Maryland, College Park My dissertation explores the relationship among visual culture, nationalism, and modernization in Argentina and Brazil in a period of extreme political instability, marked by an alternation of weak civilian governments and dictatorships. I argue that motion pictures and photojournalism were constitutive elements of a modern public sphere that did not conform to the classic formulation advanced by Jürgen Habermas. Rather than treating the public sphere as progressively degraded by the mass media and cultural industries, I trace how, in postwar Argentina and Brazil, the increased production and circulation of mass media images contributed to active public debate and civic participation. With the progressive internationalization of entertainment markets that began in the 1950s in the modern cities of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Buenos Aires there was a dramatic growth in the number of film spectators and production, movie theaters and critics, popular magazines and academic journals that focused on film. Through close analysis of images distributed widely in international media circuits I reconstruct and analyze Brazilian and Argentine postwar visual economies from a transnational perspective to understand the constitution of the public sphere and how modernization, Latin American identity, nationhood, and socio-cultural change and conflict were represented and debated in those media. Cinema and the visual after World War II became a worldwide locus of production and circulation of discourses about history, national identity, and social mores, and a space of contention and discussion of modernization.

    FILM 5900/7900 - Film Theory Fall 2017 Prof. Rielle Navitski [email protected] Class: T/Th 2:00 – 3:15 pm in 53 Fine Arts Screening: Th 3:30 – 6:15 pm in 53 Fine Arts Office hours: T/W 10:00 am – 12:00 pm or by appointment in 260 Fine Arts Course Description: This course explores a range of critics’, scholars’ and filmmakers’ positions on the “big questions” that arise in relation to films considered as artistic objects and the production and consumption of films considered as meaningful individual and social experiences. Beginning with key debates in film theory and working mostly chronologically, we will consider critic André Bazin’s famous question “what is cinema?” Is it more useful to try to define film’s unique characteristics or to chart its overlap – particularly in a digital age – with other audio/visual media and other visual and performing arts? Should more weight be given to film’s capacity to record and play back a recognizable impression of the visible and audible world, or to its formal or aesthetic qualities – arrangements of light, sound, and time – and the way it communicates meanings through stylistic elements like editing, camera movement, and mise-en-scène. How do elements of film style and the institutions surrounding cinema – from the studio to the movie theater to fan culture – impact spectators’ experiences? How do gender, sexuality, race, and nation shape film aesthetics and viewing experiences? Without seeking to definitively resolve these debates, we will consider how they can meaningfully inform our role as consumers and producers of media.

Cinema Novo: Brasil. the New Cinema of Brazil, begins October 1. and continues through I October 17th. Nine feature-length films;, the work of eight young directors; who represent the New Wave of Brazil^ will be shown along with a selection of short subjects. Adrienne Mancia, Assistant Curator, Department of Film, assembled the program. In the past seven years, the Brazilians have earned i+0 international awards. In Berlin, Genoa and Moscow. Brazilian film retrospectives have been held in acknowledgement of the vigorous Cinema Novo that has taken root in that country. Cinema Novo of Brazil has had a stormy history. The first stirring began in the early 50*8 with the discontent of young filmmakers who objected to imitative Hollywood musical comedies, known as "chanchadas," which dominated traditional Brazilian cinema. This protest found a response araong young film critics who were inspired by Italian neo- realism and other foreign influences to demand a cinema indigenous to Brazil. A bandful of young directors were determined to discover a cinematic language that would reflect the nation's social and human problems. The leading exponent of Cinema Novo, Glauber Rocha, in his late twenties, stated the commitLment of Brazil's youthful cineastes when he wrote: "In our society everything is still I to be done: opening roads through the forest, populating the desert, educating the masses, harnessing the rivers.

  • Comparing the New Cinemas of France, Japan and Brazil
    WASEDA RILAS JOURNALWaves NO. on Different4 (2016. 10) Shores: Comparing the New Cinemas of France, Japan and Brazil Waves on Different Shores: Comparing the New Cinemas of France, Japan and Brazil Richard PEÑA Abstract What is the place of “comparative” film historiography? In an era that largely avoids over-arching narratives, what are the grounds for, and aims of, setting the aesthetic, economic or technological histories of a given national cinema alongside those of other nations? In this essay, Prof. Richard Peña (Columbia University) examines the experiences of three distinct national cinemas̶those of France, Japan and Brazil̶that each witnessed the emer- gence of new movements within their cinemas that challenged both the aesthetic direction and industrial formats of their existing film traditions. For each national cinema, three essential factors for these “new move” move- ments are discussed: (1) a sense of crisis in the then-existing structure of relationships within their established film industries; (2) the presence of a new generation of film artists aware of both classic and international trends in cinema which sought to challenge the dominant aesthetic practices of each national cinema; and (3) the erup- tion of some social political events that marked not only turning points in each nation’s history but which often set an older generation then in power against a defiant opposition led by the young. Thus, despite the important and real differences among nations as different as France, Japan and Brazil, one can find structural similarities related to both the causes and consequences of their respective cinematic new waves. Like waves, academic approaches to various dis- personal media archives resembling small ciné- ciplines seem to have a certain tidal structure: mathèques, the idea of creating new histories based on sometimes an approach is “in,” fashionable, and com- linkages between works previously thought to have monly used or cited, while soon after that same little or no connection indeed becomes tempting.

Pela Cinemateca Júnior também se experimenta um estado líquido, um trânsito entre géneros e humores. A indefinição é boa porque permite tocar vários instrumentos e teclas emocionais, e foi isso que fizemos - uma orquestra com todos: animação, realismo social, comédia fantástica e ficção científica. Para os mais novos escolhemos o filme de animação em stop motion de Wes Anderson, O FANTÁSTICO SENHOR RAPOSO, baseado no conto infantil de Roald Dahl sobre uma Sraposa aventureira a braços com as responsabilidades da vida familiar, com as vozes de George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson e do próprio Wes Anderson. Em versão dobrada, mostramos o primeiro filme da saga NANNY MCPHEE, com a maravilhosa Emma Thompson no argumento e no papel dum ogre em forma de ama de crianças. A não perder, pelo humor negro e pelos incríveis disparates da família que a contrata. Mudando de tom, a proposta para os mais velhos soa mais grave. KES de Ken Loach será dos filmes mais duros KES alguma vez projetados na Júnior, mas filmes como este são essenciais para se conhecer o mundo fora da bolha fantasista dos feel-good movies.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Lisa Shaw and Tim Bergfelder The proliferating histories of screen stardom Stars and film industries centred on stars have been an important strand in the study and criticism of cinema. As early as the 1920s, theorists including Rudolf Arnheim, Béla Balázs, Siegfried Kracauer and Walter Benjamin discussed the significance of personae, images and iconic stars such as Charles Chaplin and Greta Garbo, and their integral function within the interconnecting aesthetic, social and affective systems that the new mass medium of cinema represented.1 Following the consolidation of Hollywood as an industry and as a popular art form in the 1930s and 1940s, the seemingly universal appeal of stars caught the atten- tion of, among others, anthropologists such as Hortense Powdermaker,2 sociolo- gists such as Edgar Morin3 and semioticians such as Roland Barthes.4 Within the nascent academic discipline of film studies in the 1970s, Richard Dyer’s ground- breaking book Stars (first published in 1979) mapped a field and methodology – or rather a set of methodologies – for the analysis of stars as a simultaneously aesthetic and social phenomenon of modern culture.5 Dyer’s text inaugurated a rich seam of scholarship that has gone from strength to strength in the last few decades and that shows no sign of abating today if the sheer number of publications is anything to go by.6 Nevertheless, while many of Dyer’s original observations and definitions still hold true today, there have been a number of developments in the field and in the actual cultural presence and social function of stars in the decades since the late 1970s that have taken star studies in new directions, with new priorities, new contexts and new parameters.

Carlson The Western is often seen as a uniquely American narrative form, one so deeply ingrained as to constitute a national myth. This perception persists despite its inherent shortcomings, among them its inapplicability to the many instances of filmmakers outside the United States appropriating the genre and thus undercutting this view of generic exceptionalism.

Bertelli Duarte Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU) Uberlândia, Brasil RESUMO O cinema brasileiro em perspectiva: a atualidade de Brasil em tempo de cinema de Jean-Claude Bernadet Brasil em tempo de cinema é a maior obra de estética cinematográfica do cinema brasileiro. Relançada quarenta anos após a edição original, mantêm-se atual, não somente devido ao rigor crítico de Bernadet sob o ponto de vista artístico, mas, sobretudo, pela pertinência das reflexões acerca dos desdobramentos culturais e políticos na história do cinema nacional. Palavras-chave: história – estética – Cinema Novo ABSTRACT Brazilian Cinema in Perspective: The Importance of Jean-Claude Bernardet's Brasil em tempo de cinema Brasil em Tempo de Cinema is one the greatest books on Brazilian cinematographic aesthetics. Republished forty years after its original release, it remains important to contemporary discussions not only because of Bernadet's rigorous critical analysis of movies under a strictly artistical point of view, but, more importantly, because of the his reflexions on cultural and political developments in the history of Brazilian cinema.
