  • The Sand Canyon Review 2013
    The Sand Canyon Review 2013 1 Dear Reader, The Sand Canyon Review is back for its 6th issue. Since the conception of the magazine, we have wanted to create an outlet for artists of all genres and mediums to express their passion, craft, and talent to the masses in an accessible way. We have worked especially hard to foster a creative atmosphere in which people can express their identity through the work that they do. I have done a lot of thinking about the topic of identity. Whether someone is creating a poem, story, art piece, or multimedia endeavor, we all put a piece of ourselves, a piece of who we are into everything we create. The identity of oneself is embedded into not only our creations but our lives. This year the goal ofThe Sand Canyon Review is to tap into this notion, to go beyond the words on a page, beyond the color on the canvas, and discover the artist behind the piece. This magazine is not only a collection of different artists’ identities, but it is also a part of The Sand Canyon Review team’s identity. On behalf of the entire SCR staff, I wish you a wonderful journey into the lives of everyone represented in these pages.

  • 1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007
    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

  • In New Iranian Cinema
    UNIVERSITEIT VAN AMSTERDAM DEPARTMENT OF MEDIA STUDIES MASTER THESIS RETHINKING THE ’TYPICAL’ IN NEW IRANIAN CINEMA A STUDY ON (FEMALE) REPRESENTATION AND LOCATION IN JAFAR PANAHI’S WORK Master in Film and Media Studies Thesis supervisor: Dr. Gerwin van der Pol 2nd reader: Dr. Emiel Martens Date of Completion: 20th May 2019 i ABSTRACT Contemporary Iranian cinema has been acknowledged and praised by film critics, festivals and audiences worldwide. The recent international acclaim that Iranian films have received since the late 1980s, and particularly through the 1990s, show the significance that the films’ exhibition and reception outside Iran has played in the transformation of cinema in Iran, developing certain themes and aesthetics that have become known to be ‘typical’ Iranian and that are the focus of this paper. This survey explores Iranian film culture through the lens of Jafar Panahi and the poetics of his work. Panahi’ films, in past and present, have won numerous prizes within the international festival circuit and have been interpreted by audiences and critics around the world. Although officially banned from his profession since 2010, the Iranian filmmaker has found its ‘own’ creative ways to circumvent the limitations of censorship and express its nation’s social and political issues on screen. After providing a brief historical framework of the history of Iranian cinema since the 1990s, the survey will look at Panahi’s work within two categories. Panahi’s first three feature films will be explored under the aspects of Iranian children’s films, self-reflexivity and female representation(s). With regards to Panahi’s ‘exilic’ position and his current ban on filmmaking, the survey will analyze one of Panahi’s recent self-portrait works to exemplify the filmmaker use of ‘accented’ characteristics in terms of authorship and the meaning of location (open and closed spaces).

(If more than one, what changes are being proposed?) To add the Diversity- Global Studies GE What is the rationale for the proposed change(s)? The course covers film histories from Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. The proposed changed would enable students who enroll in this course to get credit for focused study that deals directly with the learning objectives of the Diversity: Global Studies GE, including understanding some of the political, economic, cultural, physical, social, and philosophical aspects of nations, peoples and cultures outside the U.S. and recognizing the role of national and international diversity in shaping their own attitudes and values as global citizens. What are the programmatic implications of the proposed change(s)? (e.g. program requirements to be added or removed, changes to be made in available resources, effect on other programs that use the course)? There would be no notable programmatic implications of the proposed changes because the course is already offered through the History of Art Department as a GE in Visual and Performing Arts.

  • Middlebrow Cinema
    11 HYPOTHESES ON THE QUEER MIDDLEBROW Rosalind Galt and Karl Schoonover Although the middlebrow has often been theorized in relation to class and taste, it has not yet been analysed as a force in contemporary ‘world cinema’.1 As the case studies in this volume show, we are more used to conceptualizing the middlebrow in nationally specific terms, and if middlebrow most often refers to modes and practices of reception, rather than describing a genre, textual aesthetic or mode of production, then it becomes difficult to track across national borders. This domi- nant model of middlebrow as reception practice raises issues such as audience and address, genre and authorship and legibility and universality which remain of acute concern in the case of international films. Does the nature of the middlebrow change, however, when global circulation starts to strip away specific national parameters and cultural specificity? The encrusted layers of culturally specific knowledge that often freight the middlebrow are unavailable to films that travel to global audiences, so markers of quality must attach to the circulatory mechanisms of world cinema itself, rather than rely wholly on nationally located content or context. Moreover, shifts in commercial film distribution and exhibition such as specialized video on demand (VOD) and online streaming services – while rarely legally accessible beyond national borders – demand that we reconceptualize ideas about world cinema audiences and the processes of taste-making. The expansion of file-sharing, ISP-blocking, pirating software and even region-free hardware ampli- fies this need. Although contemporary scholarship on the middlebrow points to reception’s role in defining a register that has no automatic generic qualities, no semantic or syntactic structures of its own, there are nonetheless forms of textuality that more frequently attach to it.

Milton’s French Immersion students start learning French in first grade. After studying the language for 6 or 7 years, most of them walk into our French classroom with a “been there, done that” attitude. Yet, at age 11 they are still looking forward to a fun year. During my short talk, I explain that I had to learn French much like they are now. That outside the classroom, I spoke another language with my friends, and at home with my parents. Judging from past experience, I know that when I get to this part, I have to quickly get to my conclusion that learning another language is tough but possible: as soon as they find out that I was born and raised in Iran, I see a new spark in their eyes. “Wow!” they say, “Would you tell us about your country?” This unit is created as an answer to their call.

  • A Separation (2011)
    A Separation (2011) “Your problem is a small problem.” Major Credits: Producer, Writer, and Director: Ashgar Farhadi Cinematography: Mahmoud Kalari Cast: Peyman Moaadi (Neder), Leila Hatami (Simrin), Sarina Fahradi (Termeh), Sareh Bayat (Razieh), Shahab Hosseini (Hojjat), Kimia Hosseini (Somayeh), Barbak Karimi (Interrogator) Production Background: With the political imprisonment of Jafar Panahi (The White Balloon, Offside) and the recent absence of Abbas Kiarostami (Certified Copy, Like Someone in Love), Farhadi has become the contemporary face of Iranian cinema, which has a long and distinguished history. He began his professional career in the theater, which accounts for both his intricate screenplays and attention to details.
