    NEWS RELEASE EMBARGOED UNTIL JUNE 20, 2016 Film4Climate Global Video Competition Opens, In Search of Short Videos to Inspire the World Winners to be honored at official awards ceremony at COP22 climate summit in Marrakech, Morocco in November 2016 WASHINGTON, June 20, 2016 – The Film4Climate Global Video Competition formally opens today as the centerpiece of the Connect4Climate initiative to promote sustainability in the creative industries through active engagement with young people in finding solutions to climate change. Announced at the Cannes Film Festival by the World Bank Group’s Connect4Climate global partnership program, the competition will be open for submissions through September 15, with the winners to be announced at a high-profile awards ceremony at the United Nations COP22 Climate Summit in Marrakesh, Morocco in November. The winning entries will receive cash prizes of $8,000, $5,000, and $2,000 for first, second and third place in each of two categories: an under one-minute Public Service Advertisement (PSA) or a Short Film up to five minutes. The competition offers filmmakers a chance to have their work reviewed by a jury chaired by Bernardo Bertolucci, and including other preeminent directors, producers, writers and political leaders. At the competition’s announcement in Cannes, producer and jury member Lawrence Bender said, “In every country, every city, people have different stories on climate change...there are many stories that can be told. If this worldwide film competition creates a critical mass of ideas and energy, it could help tip the balance in terms of focusing people’s attention.” As the next five years will be critical to advancing and scaling up climate action around the world as part of the SDGs, the COP22 climate summit aims to encourage countries to implement ambitious climate actions, with youth playing a vital role in the agenda.

  • Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness and Francis Ford
    THE EVIL OF MODERNITY: JOSEPH CONRAD’S HEART OF DARKNESS AND FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA’S APOCALYPSE NOW Michel Maslowski Paris IV Sorbonne Cywilizator, oszalały Kurtz, One of the civilizers, a madman named Kurtz, Miał kość słoniową ze śladami krwi, A gatherer of ivory stained with blood, Na memoriale o światłach kultury Scribbed in the margin of his report Pisał “ohyda” a więc już wstępował On the Light of Culture “The horror.” And climbed W dwudziesty wiek. Into the twentieth century. Czesław Miłosz, A Poetical Treatise, 1956 After December 13, 1981 the front pages of world press showed a photograph of a tank in front of the Moskwa Cinema in gray wintertime Warsaw. A huge inscription on the building announced: “Apocalypse Now.” It was the beginning of martial law in Poland. Apocalypse Now by Francis Ford Coppola, is a fi lm adaptation of Joseph Conrad’s 1899 novella Heart of Darkness, which has inspired many artists and still continues to do so. For Czesław Miłosz it presented a prophetic vision of the 20th c.: the time of world wars, genocides and totalitarianisms. The Zeitgeist from Miłosz’s A Poetical Treatise is wearing a necklace made of cut off heads resembling those stuck on the palisade in Kurtz’s camp. For T.S. Eliot, whose 1925 poem The Hollow Men appears in Coppola’s fi lm, Conrad’s work portends a crisis of humankind by stigmatising the “fragility of the base on which modern people built their dilapidating ark, namely language.”1 The literary critic Juan Asensio points out another example of a work directly inspired by Conrad’s novella: The Portage to San Cristobal of A.H.

  • FRENCH 3230 - History and Economics of French Cinema from Paris to Cannes
    FRENCH 3230 - History and Economics of French Cinema from Paris to Cannes Instructor: Lynn Ramey, French and Italian Location: Paris, Cannes, and Lyon, France Dates: May 6 – 31, 2019 Due to the participation in the Cannes Film Festival, this course could not be offered on campus. While there are a few simply cultural activities such as a game of pétanque (French lawn bowling) in Lyon, almost all outings are connected to learning about French media history and production. Paris, Cannes, and Lyon all have dedicated museums to film and the history of movie production. We will take day trips to Monaco and Nice where students will visit additional museums and film shooting locations. I have been teaching the history of French film for many years and have led versions of this Maymester twice (all versions have received excellent student evaluations). I study and publish on French media and speak French fluently. I'm delighted to have the opportunity to work 24/7 with students. The TA who will accompany me is not only a wonderfully enthusiastic teacher, he also has a film that has been submitted to the student section of the Cannes Festival. In 1895 the Lumière brothers screened the very first moving pictures in a café in Paris. Today the second largest film exporter after the US, France continues to play a central role in the international movie market. Once a year, in May, the world cinema community comes back to the birthplace of film and celebrates at the Cannes Film Festival. A ten-day extravaganza of film screenings, star sightings, and prize awarding, the Festival (founded in 1946) is considered the most prestigious film festival in the world.

Dr. David H. Sick Project Sponsor Dr. James M. Vest Second Reader Dr. Michelle M. Mattson Extra-Departmental Reader Dr. Kenneth S. Morrell Department Chair Acknowledgments In keeping with the interdisciplinary nature of classical studies as the traditional hallmark of a liberal arts education, I have relied upon sources as vast and varied as the monuments of Rome in writing this thesis. I first wish to extend my most sincere appreciation to the faculty and staff of the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome during the spring session of 2008, without whose instruction and inspiration the idea for this study never would have germinated. Among the many scholars who have indelibly influenced my own study, I am particularly indebted to the writings of Catherine Edwards and Mary Jaeger, whose groundbreaking work on Roman topography and monuments in Writing Rome: Textual approaches to the city and Livy’s Written Rome motivated me to apply their theories to a modern context. In order to establish the feasibility and pertinence of comparing Rome’s antiquity to its modernity by examining their prolific juxtapositions in cinema as a case study, I have also relied a great deal upon the works of renowned Italian film scholar, Peter Bondanella, in bridging the ages.

  • Gender and Migrant Roles in Italian Neorealist and New Migrant Films: Cinema As an Apparatus of Reconfiguration of National Identity and ‘Otherness’
    humanities Article Gender and Migrant Roles in Italian Neorealist and New Migrant Films: Cinema as an Apparatus of Reconfiguration of National Identity and ‘Otherness’ Marianna Charitonidou 1,2,3 1 Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture (gta), Department of Architecture, ETH Zurich, Stefano-Franscini-Platz 5, CH 8093 Zürich, Switzerland; [email protected] 2 School of Architecture of National Technical University of Athens, 42 Patission Street, 106 82 Athens, Greece 3 Faculty of Art History and Theory of Athens School of Fine Arts, 42 Patission Street, 106 82 Athens, Greece Abstract: The article examines an ensemble of gender and migrant roles in post-war Neorealist and New Migrant Italian films. Its main objective is to analyze gender and placemaking practices in an ensemble of films, addressing these practices on a symbolic level. The main argument of the article is that the way gender and migrant roles were conceived in the Italian Neorealist and New Migrant Cinema was based on the intention to challenge certain stereotypes characterizing the understanding of national identity and ‘otherness’. The article presents how the roles of borgatari and women function as devices of reconceptualization of Italy’s identity, providing a fertile terrain for problematizing the relationship between migration studies, urban studies and gender studies. Special attention is paid to how migrants are related to the reconceptualization of Italy’s national narrations. The Neorealist model is understood here as a precursor of the narrative strategies that one encounters in numerous films belonging to the New Migrant cinema in Italy. The article also explores how certain aspects of more contemporary studies of migrant cinema in Italy could illuminate our understanding of Neorealist cinema and its relation to national narratives.

  • Italian Neo-Realism
    Italian Neo-Realism Venice film festival founded in 1932 (by Mussolini) , is the oldest film festival in the world and one of the "Big Three" film festivals alongside the Cannes Film Festival and Berlin International Film Festival. Italian National Film School created by Facists 1935 - run by Mussolini’s son. Cinecetta Studios (aka: Hollywood on the Tiber )-1937 Begins: Rome, Open City (filmed between 43-45) - Roberto Rossellin 1945 (makes Paisan 1946) Ossessione (Luchino Visconti, 1943) recognized later as first/precursor Ends: Umberto D- De Sica (1952) Most Popular Films: Ladri di biciclette (aka Bicycle Thieves) (1948) Sciuscià (aka ShoeShine) (1946) Cinema Magazine: Film Movement started by critics who worked for magazine Cinema run by Mussolini’s son Vittorio Mussolini What is Italian Neo-Realism 1) Movement is characterized by stories set amongst the poor and working class. Neorealist films generally feature children in major roles, though their roles are frequently more observational than participatory. Based on real or “composite” events. 2) Brought about in part, by end of Facism, poverty, destruction at end of WWII. 3) Semi-documentary Styles: a. Long takes, natural light, Location Shooting, Non-professional actors, Naturalistic Costumes, makeup, sets. b. Lack of Artiface c. Camera angles from normal perspectives d. Less Dominant Musical Scores 4) Dubbing of dialogue. The dubbing allowed for filmmakers to move in a more open mise-en-scene. 5) Filmed in long takes and almost exclusively on location, mostly in poor neighborhoods and in the countryside. Frequently using non-actors for secondary and sometimes primary roles. (though, in a number of cases, well known actors were cast in leading roles, playing strongly against their normal character types in front of a background populated by local people rather than extras brought in for the film).
