  • Susanne Sundfør Avslutter Øyafestivalen 15. August
    14-01-2015 13:40 CET Susanne Sundfør avslutter Øyafestivalen 15. august Nå er det klart at albumaktuelle Susanne Sundfør skal avslutte Øyafestivalen på den største scenen Amfiet, lørdag 15. august. Hun etterfølger dermed Todd Terjes vanvittige suksesskonsert fra i fjor. Det er en mer musikalsk utadvendt Sundfør du møter i 2015, med høyere tempo og mer klassisk pop i låtene. Sjøl er hun begeistra over å få avslutte på Øya sin største scene: - Jeg er helt oppe i skyene over å få headline Øya i år. Jeg lover et stort show og masse kjærlighet. Susanne er aktuell med nye singelen «Delirious» fra kommende album "Ten Love Songs", som slippes 16. februar. "Delirious" er en annen stor sang og stemningsfull synth-pop låt fra Susanne. Den fengende vokalen og den pulserende synth bassen kjører i én retning, mens vakker kor og stryk (spilt av Trondheimsolistene) drar den tilbake ned i mørket. - Jeg ønsket å skrive en filmatisk sang om kjærlighet og kraft. Det begynte med bare beat og bass, og underveis som låten gikk seg til la vi på stryk og flere og mer vokalarrangementer, før jeg følte budskapet var klart nok. (Susanne Sundfør) Dagbladet ga terningkast seks lurte på om de har hørt årets beste låt: "Er det lov å si at vi har årets beste norske låt allerede niende januar?" På 'Ten Love Songs' har Susanne uten tvil levert sitt mest overbevisende og fullt ut realiserte arbeid hittils. Hun har fått god musikalsk bistand fra både nye og gamle venner, inkludert Anthony Gonzalez i M83, Svein og Torbjørn fra Röyksopp, hennes langsiktige samarbeidspartner Lars Horntveth fra Jaga Jazzist, og Trondheimsolistene.

  • 6 YEARS Written and Directed by Hannah Fidell
    ! 6 YEARS Written and Directed by Hannah Fidell ! Starring Taissa Farmiga and Ben Rosenfield 80 minutes, color, U.S.A. Sales Contact: ICM/ Jessica Lacy [email protected] / (310) 550-4316 SUBMARINE/ Josh Braun [email protected] / (212) 625-1410 Press Contact: BRIGADE / Gerilyn Shur [email protected] / 917-551-5838 SYNOPSIS A young couple in their early 20s, Dan and Melanie, have known each other since childhood. Now their 6-year romantic relationship is put to the test when Dan receives an attractive job offer from the record label with whom he interns, and he must choose between a move forward and a future with Mel. Growth and temptation happen – but will their relationship remain part of their future? Writer/director Hannah Fidell explores the struggles of young love as it begins to face the next steps into adulthood. Taissa Farmiga and Ben Rosenfield give warm, genuine performances as Mel and Dan, alongside Lindsay Burdge (star of Fidell’s A TEACHER) as a colleague of Dan’s who entices him in more ways than one. HANNAH FIDELL DISCUSSES 6 YEARS I wrote 6 Years focusing on the relationship of two young adults. Who hasn’t had a first love? And who hasn’t gone through a breakup with said first love? (for those of you who are married to that first person...please ignore…) More than anything though, I modeled Dan and Mel’s world on my group of friends in college. Although, the fighting and the physical violence, that was pure fiction. The script was in great hands with Taissa and Ben.

THE FINAL GIRL GROWN UP: REPRESENTATIONS OF WOMEN IN HORROR FILMS FROM 1978-2016 by LAUREN J. CUPP SUBMITTED TO SCRIPPS COLLEGE IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ARTS PROFESSOR TRAN PROFESSOR MACKO DECEMBER 9, 2016 Cupp 2 I was a highly sensitive kid growing up. I was terrified of any horror movie I saw in the video store, I refused to dress up as anything but a Disney princess for Halloween, and to this day I hate haunted houses. I never took an interest in horror until I took a class abroad in London about horror films, and what peaked my interest is that horror is much more than a few cheap jump scares in a ghost movie. Horror films serve as an exploration into our deepest physical and psychological fears and boundaries, not only on a personal level, but also within our culture. Of course cultures shift focus depending on the decade, and horror films in the United States in particular reflect this change, whether the monsters were ghosts, vampires, zombies, or aliens.

A STUDY OF THE VISUAL RHETORIC OF THE POSTMODERN HORROR FILM DoJody You Keisner Want to Watch? JODY KEISNER University of Nebraska—Omaha, Omaha, Nebraska This article explores the psychological and social effects of horror (slasher) movies, focusing on the 2003 thriller feardotcom. The question, “Why do we watch?” is investigated, using narrative and philosophical theories to analyze this and slasher films’ far-reaching cultural implications. The visual rhetoric of the post- modern horror movie is also analyzed in relation to its value as a social text, specifically questioning the validity of the Final Girl as an archetype for feminine power. Slasher film critics such as Carol Clover, Daniel Linz, Edward Donnerstein, Fred Molitor and Barry Sapolsky disagree about whether or not slasher films are primarily misogynistic texts and if the most recent depictions of the Final Girl can be read as a step towards feminine empowerment. This article uses narrative theory to interrogate the construction and grammer of the slasher film, among other things, investigating who the male and female audiences are encouraged to identify with while watching. I am irresistibly drawn to horror movies and simultaneously repulsed by them. For years I have been watching “men” in various forms of physical or mental deformation chase a predominantly young, adolescent population of victims through dark homes and cornfields, wielding knifes, chainsaws, drills, axes, and other weapons of destruction.
