ABOUT / PRESS ROOM / FRENCH FILM DIRECTOR BERTRAND TAVERNIER NEW YORK FEBRUARY 25 MARCH 19 2014 SHARE French Film Director Bertrand 1/1 Tavernier In New York from RECOMENDED FOR YOU February 25 to March 19, 2014 February 24, 2014 | By French Culture New York, February 21, 2014 — On the occasion of the U.S. theatrical release of Bertrand Tavernier’s latest film, The French Minister (original title: Quai d’Orsay) at IFC center on March 21st by Sundance Selects, the French director will be in New York, for a series of screenings and Master Classes (detailed program below). Bertrand Tavernier has directed 30 films over a long and distinguished filmmaking career. Although his early work was dominated by mysteries, his later work is characterized by a more overt social commentary, highlighting his leftist views (Life and Nothing But, Capitaine Conan), and often presenting a critical picture of contemporary French society (Ça commence aujourd'hui, Histoires de vies brisées: les double-peine de Lyon). His films have garnered many awards including the Prix Louis Delluc, the Special Jury Prize award at the 24th Berlin International Film Festival, the BAFTA for Best Film not in the English Language, the Golden Bear Award at the 45th Berlin International Film Festival, and four César Awards. The French Minister is his first comedy. It won the Best Screenplay award at the San Sebastian Film Festival and is nominated for 3 César Awards including Best Screenplay, Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress. This program is coordinated by the Film department of the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the US.

An Application of Polysystem Theories of Translation. By: Isabel Palomo Merino Directed by: Dr. Javier Ortiz García, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid Madrid, 2017 Dissertation Abstract – Universidad Autónoma de Madrid From the Periphery to the Canon: Detective Fiction in Spain Through the Works of García Pavón, Cain, Vázquez Montalbán and Thompson. An Application of Polysystem Theories of Translation. Isabel Palomo Merino Directed by: Dr. Javier Ortiz García, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid Madrid, 2017 Detective fiction has become one of the most popular genres in our present times; but why and how did detective fiction become so popular in Spain? This dissertation studies the development of the genre of detective fiction in Spain, written both by Spanish writers and as translations from American authors, framed within the historical period that extends from the Franco Regime up to our present days. It was during the dictatorship that translations of foreign detective fiction started to reach the country and a sense of collective imagination on the topic began to be created, influenced also by the movie adaptations that reached Spain, by the numerous pseudotranslations, and by journals like El Caso. The foreign model of detective fiction was adopted by national writers who re- created it within a new context: classic detective fiction influenced the work of Francisco García Pavón, and hardboiled detective fiction –analyzed through the works of James M.

  • Bertrand Tavernier's Coup De Torchon
    N AHEM Y OUSAF A Southern Sheriff’s Revenge: Bertrand Tavernier’s Coup de Torchon This essay traces the story of a Texan small-town sheriff as first told and reworked by the American pulp fiction writer Jim Thompson in The Killer Inside Me (1952) and Pop. 1280 (1964), and transformed by French film director Bertrand Tavernier when he transposes this par- ticular ‘Southern’ sheriff’s story to colonial Senegal in 1938 in Coup de Torchon (Clean Slate, 1980). To begin, this essay considers why Thompson shifts his story from the American ‘West’ in the 1950s to the American ‘South’ in the 1960s before examining in some detail the ways in which Tavernier’s cross-cultural and trans-generic remake of Pop. 1280 successfully interrogates southern tropes in non-southern settings. The image of the Southern sheriff in twentieth-century fiction and film accrued mainly negative connotations, by focusing on the stakes sheriffs had in white supremacy and in maintaining a segregated sta- tus quo, or exploring their limited efforts to move beyond being either ineffectual or corrupt – or both. In novels such as Erskine Caldwell’s Trouble in July (1940) and Elizabeth Spencer’s The Voice at the Back Door (1956), for example, the small-town sheriff is mired in a moral dilemma. Spencer created Mississippi sheriff Duncan Harper while living in Italy. Thrust into office by the dying incumbent, he struggles against racist crimes that have been ignored in the past, the repercus- sions of which threaten the present. He dies having made a racially liberal plea to the town that after his death may choose to deem him merely eccentric.

  • THE GREAT WAR: a CINEMATIC LEGACY OPENS at Moma on the CENTENARY of the START of WORLD WAR I
    THE GREAT WAR: A CINEMATIC LEGACY OPENS AT MoMA ON THE CENTENARY OF THE START OF WORLD WAR I The Great War: A Cinematic Legacy August 4—September 21, 2014 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters NEW YORK, July 8, 2014–Opening on the 100th anniversary of the day World War I began, The Museum of Modern Art’s The Great War: A Cinematic Legacy runs from August 4 through September 21, 2014, highlighting 60 feature-length films and thematic programs that attempt to provide a comprehensive view of the war as portrayed in film. The various films focus on prewar activities; espionage; the battlefields in the trenches, in the air, and on and beneath the sea; actualités; and the various homefronts before, during, and after the war. Familiar films, such as A Farewell to Arms (1932) and Lawrence of Arabia (1962), along with several lesser-known works from as far away as New Zealand—including Chunuk Bair (1992)—reflect the universality of a war that reshaped the prevailing values of what passed for civilization. In August, the program is predominately drawn from the early years, either during the war or in the succeeding decades, and includes several silent films. The program in September will concentrate mainly on later, more contemporary films up to, and including, Steven Spielberg’s War Horse (2011). The Great War is organized by Charles Silver, Curator, with Dave Kehr, Adjunct Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art. Many of the films in the series deal with the entrenched stalemate in France, including Verdun, Vision d’Histoire (Verdun, Vision of History) (1928) directed by Leon Poirier.

    SPRING 2008 Prof. Ghislaine Géloin, Modern Languages Department Office: Craig Lee CL 147. X 8707 [email protected] Office hours: M, W 11-1 or by appointment. GENERAL EDUCATION CORE IV : CRITICAL INQUIRY. AFAM 262/01 -- THE FRANCOPHONE AFRICAN WORLD. WebCT course. Please make sure to access all documents before class session Course description This course is designed to introduce you to the cultural products of the French- speaking African world. Art, poetry, novels, plays, films and essays in translation are analyzed as documents of historical, social, political and cultural issues of Francophone Africa. Films provide authentic cultural products to explore important aspects of Africa. Students will thus be able to experience the fabric and texture of African. A variety of topics have been selected in order to familiarize you with essential cultural aspects of African countries that have been influenced by French colonization. (See detailed description of topics of exploration in Course content.) Throughout the course you will come to understand the complex realities of Africa, its geographical, historical and social/cultural contexts and its relationships to the West, especially to France. You will listen to African voices telling their side of the story on colonial, neo-colonial, postcolonial Francophone Africa as well as on the cultural values of traditional and contemporary Africa. You will thereby better understand African perspectives, the relationship and the ongoing dialogue between the West and the Non-West as illustrated through the examples of Francophone Africa. By learning about a part of the world that you are not familiar with, you will become more aware of other cultures.
