  • Contemporary Maghrebi-French Cinema and Its Audiences
    Postcolonial Popcorn: Contemporary Maghrebi-French Cinema and its Audiences by Alexander Hastie A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Geography The University of Sheffield December 2017 Abstract This thesis is a study of popular contemporary postcolonial cinema, through readings of three recent Maghrebi-French films. The research is comprised of the films Days of Glory (2006), Outside the Law (2010) and Free Men (2011), which narrate unfamiliar colonial stories in familiar ways. The films are a significant part of a cultural and commercial ‘shift’ toward more mainstream filmmaking in France, and therefore provide a fascinating and complex point of entry into the study of popular postcolonial cinema. By incorporating the popular into the postcolonial, the primary contribution of this thesis is that it extends the scope of postcolonial cultural criticism, in order to highlight how such an engagement functions to interrupt hegemonic imaginaries of colonial space, memory and gender. Informed by a postcolonial critique, this thesis deploys textual analysis in order to investigate how the films are textually constituted across and through different cultural frameworks, questioning what this means for conceptualising postcolonialism. Primarily investigating the ways in which the films rewrite colonial histories using the genre conventions of Hollywood, this thesis attends to issues pertinent to postcolonial France. The thesis therefore identifies some of the key relationships to space that are narrated throughout the films, in which geographies of belonging and exclusion for Maghrebi- French people are articulated through popular aesthetics. An important part of articulating place is memory, and so this thesis also examines how occluded memories are mobilised and energised at the intersection with more familiar historical imaginaries, showing how this multidirectional relationship works to situate colonial histories in ways that are disruptive of World War Two imaginaries.

  • A Case Study of Gregg Toland and Citizen Kane
    Volume 5, Issue 1 February 2012 Authorship and the Director of Photography: A Case Study of Gregg Toland and Citizen Kane PHILIP COWAN, Manchester Metropolitan University ABSTRACT The artistic contribution of Directors of Photography to the films that they shoot, in narrative mainstream cinema, have been historically ignored in favour of the director-centred auteur theory. In order to address this imbalance a new approach to attributing authorship in film needs to be implemented, which acknowledges co-authorship in collaborative film-making. By taking established auteur methodologies Philip Cowan, himself a practicing Director of Photography, analyses the work of Gregg Toland, who has long been recognised for his technical contribution to Citizen Kane (Welles, 1941), but only by analysing his previous work can one actually realise the depth of his influence on the visualisation of Kane. KEYWORDS Film, cinematography, authorship, Gregg Toland, Citizen Kane, Orson Welles Gregg Toland and the cinematographer’s plight Gregg Wesley Toland, born in 1904, became one of the most respected Directors of Photography in Hollywood during the 1930s and 40s. He started his career as an assistant to cinematographer George Barnes, who would later shoot Rebecca (Hitchcock, 1940). By 1931 Toland had graduated to cinematographer at Goldwyn Studios. Throughout the 30s he developed his own style of shooting, on films including Les Miserables (Boleslawski, 1935), Mad Love (Freund, 1935), The Road to Glory, (Hawks, 1936), Dead End (Wyler, 1937), Wuthering Heights (Wyler, 1939), The Grapes of Wrath (Ford, 1940), and The Long Voyage Home (Ford, 1940). In 1941 he shot the film that many film critics and theorists consistently regard as the best American film ever made, Citizen Kane (Welles, 1941).

  • 20.1998.1 Howard W. Hawks Elkhart County Marker Text Review Report 09/21/11
    20.1998.1 Howard W. Hawks Elkhart County Marker Text Review Report 09/21/11 Marker Text: Born 1896 in house on this site into locally prominent family. Moved with parents to Neenah, Wisconsin 1899 and to Pasadena, California 1906. Hawks - director, producer, screenwriter - is recognized as one of Hollywood's greatest filmmakers. His more than forty-six movies include fine examples of traditional film genres, both comedy and drama. Died 1977. Report: Although the text of the Howard Hawks marker is accurate and offers insights into the filmmaker’s birthplace and subsequent moves, further information could be added to create a more detailed picture of his early life and his involvement in cinema. More importantly, as it stands now, the marker does not adequately convey the significance of Hawks’s film career. Hawks was a versatile director who worked in a wide array of genres. The marker could be re-written to more clearly communicate his accomplishments and contributions in the motion picture business. This report will provide further information regarding Hawks’s participation in the filmmaking process, his collaboration with many well-known actors, actresses, and writers, and some of his films. The marker text’s claim that Hawks was born in 1896 into a locally prominent family is correct. The U.S. Federal census of 1900 marks his birth date as May 1896 and lists Hawks at age four at the time of the census.1 Seminal biographies on the filmmaker, including Todd McCarthy’s Howard Hawks: The Grey Fox of Hollywood (1997) and Joseph McBride’s
