Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability. -

JACK ARNOLD Di Renato Venturelli
JACK ARNOLD di Renato Venturelli Tra gli autori della fantascienza anni ‘50, che rinnovò la tradizione del cinema fantastico e dell’horror, il nome che si impone con più evidenza è quello di Jack Amold. Il motivo di questo rilievo non sta tanto nell’ aver diretto i capolavori assoluti del decennio (La cosa è di Hawks, L’invasione degli ultracorpi è di Siegel...), quanto nell’aver realizzato un corpus di film compatto per stile e notevole nel suo insieme per quantità e qualità. Gli otto film fantastici realizzati fra il 1953 e il 1959 testimoniano cioè un autore riconoscibile, oltre a scandire tappe fondamentali per la mitologia del cinema fantastico, dalla Creatura della Laguna Nera (unico esempio degli anni ‘50 ad essere entrato nel pantheon dei mostri classici) alla gigantesca tarantola, dalla metafora esistenziale di Radiazioni B/X agli scenari desertici in cui l’uomo si trova improvvisamente di fronte ai limiti delle proprie conoscenze razionali. Uno dei motivi di compattezza del lavoro di Amold sta nella notevole autonomia con cui poté lavorare. Il suo primo film di fantascienza, Destinazione… Terra (1953), segnava infatti il primo tentativo in questa direzione (e nelle tre dimensioni) da parte della Universal-International. Il successo che ottenne, e che assieme agli incassi del Mostro della laguna nera risollevò la compagnia da una difficile situazione economica, fu tale da permettere ad Arnold di ritagliarsi una zona di relativa autonomia all’interno dello studio: “Nessuno a quell’epoca era un esperto nel fare film di fantascienza, così io pretesi di esserlo. Non lo ero, naturalmente, ma lo studio non lo sapeva, e così non si misero mai a discutere, qualsiasi cosa facessi”. -

The Hollywood Cinema Industry's Coming of Digital Age: The
The Hollywood Cinema Industry’s Coming of Digital Age: the Digitisation of Visual Effects, 1977-1999 Volume I Rama Venkatasawmy BA (Hons) Murdoch This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2010 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. -------------------------------- Rama Venkatasawmy Abstract By 1902, Georges Méliès’s Le Voyage Dans La Lune had already articulated a pivotal function for visual effects or VFX in the cinema. It enabled the visual realisation of concepts and ideas that would otherwise have been, in practical and logistical terms, too risky, expensive or plain impossible to capture, re-present and reproduce on film according to so-called “conventional” motion-picture recording techniques and devices. Since then, VFX – in conjunction with their respective techno-visual means of re-production – have gradually become utterly indispensable to the array of practices, techniques and tools commonly used in filmmaking as such. For the Hollywood cinema industry, comprehensive VFX applications have not only motivated the expansion of commercial filmmaking praxis. They have also influenced the evolution of viewing pleasures and spectatorship experiences. Following the digitisation of their associated technologies, VFX have been responsible for multiplying the strategies of re-presentation and story-telling as well as extending the range of stories that can potentially be told on screen. By the same token, the visual standards of the Hollywood film’s production and exhibition have been growing in sophistication. -

The Museum of Modern Art Department of Film 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel: 212-708-9400 Cable: MODERNART Telex: 62370 MODART THE ARTS FOR TELEVISION an exhibition organized by The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam THE ARTS FOR TELEVISION is the first major museum exhibition to examine television as a form for contemporary art : television as a gallery or theater or alternative space, even television as art . An international selection of artworks made for broadcast, the exhibi- tion documents the crossovers and collaborations that take place on this new television, between and among dancers, musicians, play- wrights, actors, authors, poets, and visual and video artists . And it investigates the artists' own investigation of one medium -- be it dance or music or literature -- through another . It examines the transformations video makes and the possibilities it allows . These provocative uses of television time and technology are organized in THE ARTS FOR TELEVISION according to the medium transformed by the electronic image ; the six categories are Dance for Television, Music for Television, Theatre for Television, Literature for Television, The Video Image (works that address video as a visual art, that make reference to the traditional visual arts and to seeing itself), and Not Necessarily Television (works that address the usual content of TV, and transform it) . The ARTS FOR TELEVISION also presents another level of collaboration in artists' television . It documents the involvement of television stations in Europe and America with art and artists' video . It recognizes their commitment and acknowledges the risks they take in allowing artists the opportunity to realize works of art . -
