    Boys, ballet and begonias: The Spanish Gardener and its analogues alison platt T S S, an American film of 1999 from an Indian director, M. Night Shyamalan, with an all-American star (Bruce Willis), seems a very long way from British cinema of the 1950s.1 But the boy in this film (Haley Joel Osment) seems almost a revenant from the British post-war era, with his lack of teenage quality, his innocence of youth culture and, more importantly, his anguished concern for and with the adult (Willis) whom he befriends. Here there is something of Carol Reed’s The Fallen Idol (1948), Anthony Pélissier’s The Rocking Horse Winner (1949), Philip Leacock’s The Spanish Gardener (1956) and other films of the period that centre upon the child/adult relationship or incorporate it as a theme: Anthony Asquith’s The Winslow Boy (1948) and The Browning Version (1951), and Philip Leacock’s The Kidnappers (1953). Perhaps the template for this type of isolated child is Pip in David Lean’s Great Expectations (1946). Anthony Wager as young Pip seems an irrevocably old-fashioned child victim, the Little Father Time of Hardy’s Jude the Obscure, as does John Howard Davies asking for more in Lean’s Oliver Twist (1948). This sensitive-looking child returns in The Sixth Sense and indeed in another film of 1999, Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia. Neither of the children who feature in these films exemplifies today’s idea of ‘normal’ children in cinema, which is based on a concept of young, tough ‘kids’ that does not show children as people.

First and foremost, I would like to thank my committee for their guidance and seeing this project through its many stages. My ever-engaging chair, Maurizia Boscagli, has been a constant source of intellectual inspiration. She has encouraged me to be a true interdisciplinary scholar and her rigor and high intellectual standards have served as an incredible example. I cannot thank her enough for seeing potential in my work, challenging my perspective, and making me a better scholar. Without her support and guidance, I could not have embarked on this project, let alone finish it. She has been an incredible mentor in teaching and advising, and I hope to one day follow her example and inspire as many students as she does with her engaging, thoughtful, and rigorous seminars.

  • Guilt and Spectatorship 10.00 Am 10.00
    Guilt and Spectatorship 10.00 am Birkbeck Cinema, 43 Gordon Square – 5.00 pm, Saturd op and Screening h Works ay, 28 November BISR Guilt Group / / BIMI Speakers include Clive Bloom (NYUL) Başak Ertür (Birkbeck) Jon Hoskins (artist) The idea that there might be a connection between being looked at and feelings of guilt or shame has long been canvassed. Bentham’s Panopticon built a correctional system on the idea. Film theory turned it round, so guilt recoils on the spectator. In this one-day event we will start by thinking about the relationship between guilt and spectatorship in the role of the media in recent riots, in political trials and in politically engaged art. We will then watch and discuss Carol Reed’s 1948 film, The Fallen Idol. To reserve a place for the workshop and screening, contact James Brown at [email protected]. The Birkbeck Institute for the Moving Image in association with the BISR Guilt Group presents GUILT : a series of films The Fallen Idol Carol Reed, UK, 1948, 95 minutes Birkbeck Cinema Saturday 28 November 2.00pm-5.00pm Presenter: James Brown The Fallen Idol is the last film in our season on childhood and guilt and the film we’re watching as part of our day on Guilt and Spectatorship . Since at least the eighteenth century, the notion of childhood as privileged and innocent has appealed. Graham Greene, who adapted his short story for the film, had no such rosy view of childhood.

    Through Grown-up Eyes: Living with Childhood Fame Robert Henrey Click here if your download doesn"t start automatically Through Grown-up Eyes: Living with Childhood Fame Robert Henrey Through Grown-up Eyes: Living with Childhood Fame Robert Henrey Bobby Henrey was eight when he was improbably chosen by film director Carol Reed and producer Sir Alexander Korda to star alongside Sir Ralph Richardson inThe Fallen Idolbased on a Graham Greene story. Released in 1948, the film was an instant box office success; the child's performance was singled out for critical acclaim and it remains one of the classics of British cinema. His brief film career over, the erstwhile star, an only child brought up within an exclusively adult world by eccentric parents focused on their literary careers, was suddenly confronted with the rough and tumble of school life. Survival came at the cost of burying the experience, pretending - unsuccessfully - it had never happened: an attitude Robert carried into adulthood. The death of his 19-year-old daughter and an invitation to a special screening ofThe Fallen Idolin London in 2001 finally persuaded him to come to terms with his childhood experience. Through Grown Up Eyesis a remarkably moving and candid account of coping with childhood stardom in post-war London and the vicissitudes of later life in the USA, tragedy and loss. It is ultimately about survival, treasuring the good things of life - and allowing hope to have the last word.

  • Proposing Cinema Studies at Wpi
    PJQ0405 LJM0405 PROPOSING CINEMA STUDIES AT WPI An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by ____________________ Steven M. Torance ____________________ John Potter ____________________ Matthew Brennan ____________________ Jacob Vadakekalam Date: May 3, 2005 ____________________________ Professor Laura Menides, Co-Advisor 1. cinema 2. film 3. 16mm ____________________________ Professor Patrick Quinn, Co-Advisor Abstract The goal of this project was to preserve WPI’s 16mm film collection as well as gauge student interest in a WPI film studies program. We discuss the method we used for transferring the seventy-six films to digital video cassettes (DVC) and the problems we encountered. A student survey was used to measure interest in a film program, and the results are analyzed. We also explored the copyright issues involved and possible solutions. Proposing Cinema Studies at WPI i Executive Summary This project “Proposing Cinema Studies at WPI” is a continuation of a 2004 MQP by Jonathan Naumowicz. He determined that there was a critical mass of faculty that would support a new Film and Imaging Program. He also determined the most utilitarian method of preserving WPI’s collection of 16mm film: projecting the film onto a white screen and recording the projected image with a digital camcorder. This project focused on transferring WPI’s film collection to a digital format, as well as determining the level of student interest in a film program. WPI’s film collection was almost lost when the library decided to throw out the reels because they occupied too much room.
