Ellis Auditorium Course Syllabus, Spring 2017 READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY! Welcome to the Spring Cinema Series… a unique opportunity to learn about cinema in an interdisciplinary, cinematheque-style environment open to the general public! Throughout the term we will invite a variety of special guests to enrich your understanding of the films in the series. The films will be preceded by formal introductions and followed by public discussions. You are welcome and encouraged to bring guests throughout the term! This is not a traditional class, therefore it is important for you to review the course assignments and due dates carefully to ensure that you fulfill all the requirements to earn the grade you desire. We want the Cinema Series to be both entertaining and enlightening for students and community alike. Welcome to our college film club! COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will introduce students to one of the most powerful cultural and social communications media of our time: cinema. The successful student will become more aware of the complexity of film art, more sensitive to its nuances, textures, and rhythms, and more perceptive in “reading” its multilayered blend of image, sound, and motion. The films, texts, and classroom materials will cover a broad range of domestic, independent, and international cinema, making students aware of the culture, politics, and social history of the periods in which the films were produced.

  • Haunting the Beach in the Films of François Ozon
    ORE Open Research Exeter TITLE The possibilities of a beach: queerness and Francois Ozon's beaches AUTHORS Handyside, Fiona JOURNAL Screen DEPOSITED IN ORE 21 May 2013 This version available at http://hdl.handle.net/10871/9549 COPYRIGHT AND REUSE Open Research Exeter makes this work available in accordance with publisher policies. A NOTE ON VERSIONS The version presented here may differ from the published version. If citing, you are advised to consult the published version for pagination, volume/issue and date of publication The possibilities of a beach: queerness and François Ozon’s beaches FIONA HANDYSIDE The assertion that François Ozon’s films are part of ‘a new queer cinema’ has become a commonplace of academic writing about the director.i Equally, recent criticism of the films has been unable to ignore the insistence with which they return to a beach setting, to the extent that the Guardian’s film critic, Peter Bradshaw, labelled it his ‘signature location’, conferring the beachscape the role of auteurist sign in Ozon’s filmography.ii Of his eleven feature films released since 1998’s Sitcom, four have heavily featured the beach (Sous le sable/Under the Sand [2001] 5x2; [2005]; Le Temps qui reste/Time to Leave [2006]; Le Refuge/The Hideaway [2009]). Furthermore, two of his shorts (one of which is rather more medium length, with a running time of an hour) also make use of the beach as a key site for the playing out of their stories (Une robe d’été/A Summer Dress [1996]; Regarde la mer/See The Sea [1997]).

Several months later, Louis’ brother joins her in her refuge. Interview with François Ozon Pregnancy A year ago, an actress friend of mine called to give me some good news: she was pregnant. Two days later, I called her and proposed we do a film inspired by her pregnancy. At first she was delighted, but a week later she pulled out. This was her second child, she knew what she was in for and didn’t feel capable of being both an actress and pregnant. Disappointed, I was about to scrap the project when my casting director Sarah Teper informed me: «There are three pregnant actresses in Paris right now, and one of them is Isabelle Carré.» My enthusiasm immediately returned.

  • The New Girlfriend
    Presents THE NEW GIRLFRIEND A film by François Ozon (105 min., FRANCE, 2015) Language: French Official Selection 2014 TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL Distribution Publicity Bonne Smith Star PR 1352 Dundas St. West Tel: 416-488-4436 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6J 1Y2 Fax: 416-488-8438 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com 1 Synopsis After the death of her best friend, Claire falls into a deep depression, but a surprising discovery about her friend’s husband gives her a new taste for life. 2 3 Interview with François Ozon Where did you get the idea for THE NEW GIRLFRIEND? The film is a loose adaptation of a 15-page short story by Ruth Rendell, similar in tone and spirit to the television series Alfred Hitchcock Presents. In it, a woman discovers that her friend’s husband is a closet crossdresser. He becomes a girlfriend to her, but when he declares his love and tries to make love with her, she kills him. I read the short story at the time of SUMMER DRESS, some twenty years ago, and wrote a faithful adaptation for a short film, but I couldn’t get financing or find the right cast so I abandoned the project. But the story stayed with me, indeed haunted me, over the years. It occurred to me that most of the films I liked about crossdressing were the ones where the character crossdresses not out of a personal desire but because of outside constraints: Musicians disguise themselves as women to outfox the mafia in SOME LIKE IT HOT; an unemployed actor becomes an actress in order to get a role in TOOTSIE; another broke actress turns actor in VICTOR VICTORIA.
