PROYECTO DE DECLARACION El Senado de la Nación Secretaría Parlamentaria Dirección General de Publicaciones (S-2754/08) PROYECTO DE DECLARACION El Senado de la Nación DECLARA De interés de esta Honorable Cámara la 23° edición del Festival Internacional de Cine de Mar del Plata, organizada por el Instituto Nacional de Cine y Artes Audiovisuales –INCAA– que se llevará a cabo entre el 6 y el 16 de noviembre próximo en la Ciudad de Mar del Plata, Provincia de Buenos Aires. Liliana Fellner.- FUNDAMENTOS Señor presidente: El Festival de Cine de Mar del Plata, se constituye en uno de los acontecimientos cinematográficos competitivos más significativo del continente. Su promedio de audiencia es de 150.000 espectadores y allí se congregan productores, exhibidores, distribuidores y periodistas de todo el mundo, que contribuyen a la difusión global del evento y de los productos artísticos que involucra. Antecedentes El primer Festival se llevó a cabo en el año 1954, durante la presidencia del General Juan D. Perón, en la ciudad de Mar del Plata. No fue un festival competitivo, sino una muestra en la que la cinematografía fue asumida particularmente en su calidad de “espectáculo”. Hollywood se vio representado por Errol Flynn, Mary Pickford, Joan Fontaine, Claire Trevor, Edward G. Robinson, Fred MacMurray, Anne Miller, Walter Pidgeon, y Jeannette MacDonald. Francia por Viviane romance y Jeanne Moreau. Italia por Gina Lollobrigida, Isa Miranda, Lucía Bosé y Alberto Sordi. Gran Bretaña por Trevor Howard. España por Fernando Fernán Gómez, Aurora Batista y Ana Mariscal. Hubo invitados especiales como Lil Dagover de Alemania, actriz de El gabinete del Dr. Caligari y Norman McLaren de Canadá. Participaron películas como “Pane, Amore e Fantasia” (Italia), La Ilusión viaja en tranvía, de Luis Buñuel (México), The Glenn Miller Story (USA), Sommarlek -Juventud divino tesoro- y Fröken Julie -La señorita Julia- (Suecia) y por Argentina El grito sagrado y La calle del pecado. Impulsado por la Asociación de Cronistas Cinematográficos de la Argentina se realiza el segundo festival en el año 1959. A partir de esta edición, es reconocido como competitivo por la FIAPF -Fedération International des Associations de Producteurs de Films- Durante ocho años los festivales alentaron el debate de opiniones y establecieron relaciones internacionales especializadas, que mucho contribuyeron a la difusión del cine argentino y al conocimiento de producciones vanguardistas. Durante este período el festival invito a singulares personalidades de la cultura como el premio Nobel de literatura John Perse, el argentino Ernesto Sabato y el escritor italiano Vasco Pratolini y grandes figuras como Harriet Andersson, Paul Newman, Alberto Sordi, Pier Paolo Pasolini, María Schell, Vittorio Gassman, Toshiro Mifune, Francois Truffaut, Karel Reisz, Tony Richardson, Tom Courtenay, Ugo Tognazzi, Catherine Deneuve, Antonio Bardem, Anthony Perkins, Jean Paul Belmondo, Pierre Kast, Maria Callas, Cantinflas, Valerio Zurlini, Elsa Martinelli, Andrzej Wajda, Marie Laforet, Jacques Tati, Edouard Molinaro, Jacques Doniol Valcroze, Lee Strasberg, George Hamilton, Curd Jurgens. El Instituto de Cine asumió la presidencia del Festival en sus ediciones décima y undécima, de los años 1968 y 1970. En los años 1967 y 1969 se realizaron festivales en Río de Janeiro ya que, por disposición de la FIAPF, los dos festivales sudamericanos debían alternarse. Durante el periodo de gobierno militar el Festival se degradó y finalizó otra etapa con el undécimo evento. En varias oportunidades, durante 25 años, se trató de reinstalar este importante acontecimiento cinematográfico pero por diversas razones el Festival de Mar del Plata no se realizó. El 7 de Noviembre de 1996, después de un largo intervalo, se desarrolló la 12° Edición del Festival Internacional de Cine de Mar del Plata y con esta se inicia una nueva etapa en su historia. En la edición 19°, el nombre del premio oficial, hasta ese entonces el “Ombú”, paso a llamarse “Astor”, en homenaje al músico Astor Piazzolla, nacido en la ciudad de Mar Del Plata. Es importante destacar que la 23º edición del Festival a dispuesto una serie de iniciativas para apoyar al cine argentino. Entre ellas otorgará la ampliación a 35 mm de hasta 3 películas nacionales, que sean seleccionadas para participar de la Competencia Oficial. El objetivo de este incentivo es que un mayor número de películas nacionales, que aún no estén finalizadas, puedan realizar ese último paso y cumplir con los requisitos para participar de la competencia. Por primera vez se realizará una Competencia de largometrajes argentinos en video. El premio será la ampliación a 35 mm para las dos películas ganadoras. También por primera vez, se realizará un Work in progress para largometrajes argentinos. El premio para el proyecto ganador será la futura ampliación a 35 mm. En la Competencia argentina de Cortometrajes también se premiará con dos ampliaciones a 35 mm a los cortos que resulten ganadores. El largometraje ganador de la Competencia Latinoamericana recibirá 80.000 pesos en efectivo. El mejor corto latinoamericano de los que participen en la Competencia Internacional de cortos recibirá como premio una cámara HDCAM. Los objetivos a cumplir por parte del Festival en su carácter internacional es presentar una sustancial y enriquecida cantidad de filmes extranjeros de largometraje acompañados por sus correspondientes representantes, de esta forma contribuir con el progreso de la industria cinematográfica mundial y con su difusión en América Latina. Por otra parte se propone ser la base de lanzamiento de la industria cinematográfica local que, tras más de un siglo de historia, apunta a su renovación artística y técnica. La 23ª edición del Festival Internacional de Cine de Mar del Plata incluirá la competencia oficial (donde participan películas nacionales e internacionales de largometraje, documentales y de ficción), la competencia latinoamericana, la competencia argentina de largometrajes, la competencia argentina de cortometrajes, la competencia internacional de cortometrajes y el work in progress además de distintas secciones paralelas. La inscripción al festival está abierta para películas nacionales e internacionales; de largo, medio y cortometraje; películas de ficción, documentales y experimentales. Las producciones deben haber sido terminadas después del 1 de noviembre de 2007. El fomento y la promoción de las diferentes cinematografías mundiales encontrará, en este prestigioso Festival Internacional, un lugar privilegiado para llevar a cabo sus objetivos de crecimiento cultural. Por lo expuesto solicito a mis pares la aprobación del presente proyecto. Liliana Fellner.- .

  • And the Ship Sails On
    And The Ship Sails On by Serge Toubiana at the occasion of the end of his term as Director-General of the Cinémathèque française. Within just a few days, I shall come to the end of my term as Director-General of the Cinémathèque française. As of February 1st, 2016, Frédéric Bonnaud will take up the reins and assume full responsibility for this great institution. We shall have spent a great deal of time in each other's company over the past month, with a view to inducting Frédéric into the way the place works. He has been able to learn the range of our activities, meet the teams and discover all our on-going projects. This friendly transition from one director-general to the next is designed to allow Frédéric to function at full-steam from day one. The handover will have been, both in reality and in the perception, a peaceful moment in the life of the Cinémathèque, perhaps the first easy handover in its long and sometimes turbulent history. That's the way we want it - we being Costa-Gavras, chairman of our board, and the regulatory authority, represented by Fleur Pellerin, Minister of Culture and Communication, and Frédérique Bredin, Chairperson of the CNC, France's National Centre for Cinema and Animation. The peaceful nature of this handover offers further proof that the Cinémathèque has entered into a period of maturity and is now sufficiently grounded and self-confident to start out on the next chapter without trepidation. But let me step back in time. Since moving into the Frank Gehry building at 51 rue de Bercy, at the behest of the Ministry of Culture, the Cinémathèque française has undergone a profound transformation.

  • Italian Films (Updated April 2011)
    Language Laboratory Film Collection Wagner College: Campus Hall 202 Italian Films (updated April 2011): Agata and the Storm/ Agata e la tempesta (2004) Silvio Soldini. Italy The pleasant life of middle-aged Agata (Licia Maglietta) -- owner of the most popular bookstore in town -- is turned topsy-turvy when she begins an uncertain affair with a man 13 years her junior (Claudio Santamaria). Meanwhile, life is equally turbulent for her brother, Gustavo (Emilio Solfrizzi), who discovers he was adopted and sets off to find his biological brother (Giuseppe Battiston) -- a married traveling salesman with a roving eye. Bicycle Thieves/ Ladri di biciclette (1948) Vittorio De Sica. Italy Widely considered a landmark Italian film, Vittorio De Sica's tale of a man who relies on his bicycle to do his job during Rome's post-World War II depression earned a special Oscar for its devastating power. The same day Antonio (Lamberto Maggiorani) gets his vehicle back from the pawnshop, someone steals it, prompting him to search the city in vain with his young son, Bruno (Enzo Staiola). Increasingly, he confronts a looming desperation. Big Deal on Madonna Street/ I soliti ignoti (1958) Mario Monicelli. Italy Director Mario Monicelli delivers this deft satire of the classic caper film Rififi, introducing a bungling group of amateurs -- including an ex-jockey (Carlo Pisacane), a former boxer (Vittorio Gassman) and an out-of-work photographer (Marcello Mastroianni). The crew plans a seemingly simple heist with a retired burglar (Totó), who serves as a consultant. But this Italian job is doomed from the start. Blow up (1966) Michelangelo Antonioni.

  • Jewish Experience on Film an American Overview
    Jewish Experience on Film An American Overview by JOEL ROSENBERG ± OR ONE FAMILIAR WITH THE long history of Jewish sacred texts, it is fair to characterize film as the quintessential profane text. Being tied as it is to the life of industrial science and production, it is the first truly posttraditional art medium — a creature of gears and bolts, of lenses and transparencies, of drives and brakes and projected light, a creature whose life substance is spreadshot onto a vast ocean of screen to display another kind of life entirely: the images of human beings; stories; purported history; myth; philosophy; social conflict; politics; love; war; belief. Movies seem to take place in a domain between matter and spirit, but are, in a sense, dependent on both. Like the Golem — the artificial anthropoid of Jewish folklore, a creature always yearning to rise or reach out beyond its own materiality — film is a machine truly made in the human image: a late-born child of human culture that manifests an inherently stubborn and rebellious nature. It is a being that has suffered, as it were, all the neuroses of its mostly 20th-century rise and flourishing and has shared in all the century's treach- eries. It is in this context above all that we must consider the problematic subject of Jewish experience on film. In academic research, the field of film studies has now blossomed into a richly elaborate body of criticism and theory, although its reigning schools of thought — at present, heavily influenced by Marxism, Lacanian psycho- analysis, and various flavors of deconstruction — have often preferred the fashionable habit of reasoning by decree in place of genuine observation and analysis.

  • 1 Shakespeare and Film
    Shakespeare and Film: A Bibliographic Index (from Film to Book) Jordi Sala-Lleal University of Girona [email protected] Research into film adaptation has increased very considerably over recent decades, a development that coincides with postmodern interest in cultural cross-overs, artistic hybrids or heterogeneous discourses about our world. Film adaptation of Shakespearian drama is at the forefront of this research: there are numerous general works and partial studies on the cinema that have grown out of the works of William Shakespeare. Many of these are very valuable and of great interest and, in effect, form a body of work that is hybrid and heterogeneous. It seems important, therefore, to be able to consult a detailed and extensive bibliography in this field, and this is the contribution that we offer here. This work aims to be of help to all researchers into Shakespearian film by providing a useful tool for ordering and clarifying the field. It is in the form of an index that relates the bibliographic items with the films of the Shakespearian corpus, going from the film to each of the citations and works that study it. Researchers in this field should find this of particular use since they will be able to see immediately where to find information on every one of the films relating to Shakespeare. Though this is the most important aspect, this work can be of use in other ways since it includes an ordered list of the most important contributions to research on the subject, and a second, extensive, list of films related to Shakespeare in order of their links to the various works of the canon.
