EUROCHANNEL GUIDE MARCH 2019 7 Everybody dreams of seeing the snow for the first time. It is almost magical when landscapes are covered in white and when the flakes settle in one’s hands. That 3 FAMOUS MOVIES magic has been a source of inspiration to numerous filmmakers who have set scenes of action, terror and adventure in the snow. These are three famous movies SET IN SNOWSCAPES set in snowy landscapes you should see! EVEREST Everest is an engaging movie from the start, for both its plot and the beauty of its setting. The movie was filmed in the Ötztal Alps in Italy for six weeks, a month in Iceland, and then moved to Nepal for another month’s shoot. Adapted from Beck Weathers’ memoir Left for Dead: My Journey Home from Everest, this film stars an ensemble cast of Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin, John Hawkes, Robin Wright, Michael Kelly, Sam Worthington, Keira Knightley, Emily Watson, and Jake Gyllenhaal. Everest follows the story of New Zealand’s Robert «Rob» Edwin Hall, who, on May 10, 1996, together with Scott Fischer, embarked on a joint expedition to ascend Mount Everest, and their desperate efforts to survive on the most challenging mountain on Earth. THE SHINING We all remember the shocking face of a wonderful Jack Nicholson in his portrayal of Jack Torrance in The Shining. Unsettling in a way matched by few other movies, The Shining’s story develops in a mountain hotel surrounded by snow. While most of the interior scenes were shot on studio sets, a few exterior shots were made in Saint Mary Lake and Wild Goose Island, in Glacier National Park, Montana. For those who haven’t yet seen it, the movie follows a family as they head to an isolated hotel for the winter where an evil spiritual presence influences the father into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific visions from both the past and future. FARGO Set in Minneapolis during the winter, Fargo became a cult classic amongst action film lovers. However, some of the actual snow-white landscapes we enjoy in this movie were filmed in northern Minnesota and eastern North Dakota, due to unusually low snowfalls in central and southern Minnesota the winter it was filmed. Written, directed and produced by Joel and Ethan Coen, Fargo is a reality-based crime drama set in Minnesota in 1987 that follows Jerry Lundegaard, a car salesman who has gotten himself into debt and is so desperate for money that he hires two thugs to kidnap his own wife. 8 EUROCHANNEL GUIDE MARCH 2019 THE MOST FAMOUS EUROPEAN ICE MOUNTAINS Celebrating the broadcast of the French thriller Mont Blanc Murders, set on the mesmerizing Mont Blanc, we have selected three famous European mountains one should visit at least once. Probably the most famous European mountain, Mont Blanc (White Mountain) is the tallest mountain in the Alps and the highest in Europe west of Russia’s Caucasus peaks. Mont Blanc rises 4,808.7 m (15,777 ft) above sea level and is ranked 11th in the world in topographic prominence. The summit is on the watershed line between the valleys of Ferret and Veny in Italy and the valleys of Montjoie, and Arve in France, in the middle of what is generally considered to be the border between the MONT BLANC two countries. Located in Switzerland, the Dom is a mountain of the Pennine Alps, located in the canton of Valais. Its 4,545 m (14,911 ft) summit makes this mountain the third highest in the Alps and the second highest in Switzerland, after Monte Rosa.

  • 1 Professor Martin Votruba
    Professor Martin Votruba (1948-2018) Michael J. Kopanic, Jr. It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of an outstanding teacher, a dear friend and an esteemed colleague, Professor Martin Votruba. He served as the Head of Slovak Studies Program and was a Senior Lecturer at the University of Pittsburgh (Slavic Department, Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences). Many considered him to be the country's leading scholar on Slovak culture. Martin died on November 23, 2018 after a short bout with lung cancer, even though he never smoked. Votruba's passing was a shock to the academic and Slovak-American community. As his long-time secretary and friend Chris Metil related, "Martin was an invaluable member of the department, a teacher, scholar, and friend. He is greatly missed. He was the rock that built the Slovak program", the only one of its kind in the United States. He assisted in sending many of his students to study Slovak at Studia Academica Slovaca, the Slovak language summer school at Comenius University in Bratislava. The University of Pittsburgh is the only university in the United States that offers a Slovak studies minor. His death was surprising, since as recently as November 4, he had just presented his informative lecture at the University of Pittsburgh's Annual Slovak Heritage Festival: "Slovaks Facing the Revolts of 1848: Between Imperial Vienna and Combative Budapest." Votruba had looked thinner and more frail than the last time I saw him, but he delivered a superb presentation, and as usual, interacted well with the audience and addressed questions with enthusiasm and his breadth of knowledge.

  • Historical and National Background of Slovak Filmmaking
    An article from: Martin Votruba, ed. KinoKultura, Special Issue 3: Slovak Cinema, December 2005. ISSN 478-6567 Slovak Studies Program, University of Pittsburgh votruba “at” pitt “dot” edu http://www.pitt.edu/~votruba Historical and National Background of Slovak Filmmaking Martin Votruba While the United States is usually seen as a new country and the European countries as ancient ones, the emergence and demise of countries and border shifts have been much more widespread, dramatic, and consequential in Central Europe, as well as in the rest of the continent, in the past century than anything in American experience during the same period. In extreme instances, by the time a person was eighty, he or she could have been a citizen of up to eight countries without ever leaving his or her hometown. Slovakia in Europe, Real and Symbolic Geography A major concept and understanding that has been absent in almost all writing about Central Europe in English is the term “Central Europe” itself. It is sometimes taken to be an old German invention designed to justify the expansionist concept of Lebensraum, or it is discussed as an invention of Czech émigré author Milan Kundera, especially in his essay “The Tragedy of Central Europe.”1 Yet, a character in the German film The Edukators (Die Fetten Jahre sind vorbei; dir. Heinz Weingartner, 2004) says at one point, quite matter-of-factly, “here in Central Europe.” It is revealing that the English subtitles translated it merely as “here in Europe” for American audiences. Stripped of any Kundera-esque connotations, Central Europe has long been a simple geographic concept, like the Midwest in the United States.

  • Conflict and Controversy in Small Cinemas
    Interdisciplinary Studies in Performance 12 12 Interdisciplinary Studies in Performance 12 Janina Falkowska /Krzysztof Loska (eds.) Janina Falkowska / Krzysztof Loska (eds.) Conflict and Controversy in Small Cinemas This book examines small cinemas and their presentation of society in times of crisis and conflict from an interdisciplinary and intercultural point of view. The authors concentrate on economic, social and political challenges and Conflict and Controversy point to new phenomena which have been exposed by film directors. They present essays on, among others, Basque cinema; gendered controversies in Small Cinemas in post-communist small cinemas in Slovakia and Czech Republic; ethnic stereotypes in the works of Polish filmmakers; stereotypical representation of women in Japanese avant-garde; post-communist political myths in Hungary; the separatist movements of Catalonia; people in diasporas and during Falkowska/KrzysztofJanina Loska (eds.) migrations. In view of these timely topics, the book touches on the most serious social and political problems. The films discussed provide an excellent platform for enhancing debates on politics, gender, migration and new aesthetics in cinema at departments of history, sociology, literature and film. The Author Janina Falkowska is a retired professor from the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario (Canada) and Professor at the University of Economics and Humanities (WSEH) in Bielsko-Biala (Poland). She specializes in East-Central European and Western European cinemas and has published extensively on Polish and East-Central European cinemas in journals and books related to Eastern and Central Europe. She has initiated a series of conferences about small cinemas in Europe and organized workshops and conferences on European cinemas in Canada.

  • Karlovy Vary 2008
    Karlovy Vary 2008 By Ron Holloway Fall 2008 Issue of KINEMA KARLOVY VARY INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2008 A Festival for Independents One glance at the line-ups of the top A-category competition film festivals, and you can rate and measure – even criticize – them for their respective portfolios carried proudly on their backs. Cannes is honoured as an authentic ”auteur festival,” respected each May for discovering new directorial talent while furthering the careers of past auteur directors even when they are evidently over the hill. Venice, praised as a ”director’s haven,” scores among veteran festivaliers as a laid-back September rendezvous for cult directors at the end of summer, a must for cineastes. Berlin likes to promote its ”Hollywood image,” using its February dates to book as many box-office hits of the previous Christmas season as slots will allow, knowing full wellthatLA producers easily benefit from a Berlinale festival launch before their films hit the lucrative German screens. So what is Karlovy Vary best known for? Scheduled in early July, the 43rd Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (4-12 July 2008), under the dual leadership of Jií Bartoška (president) and Eva Zaoralová (artistic director), has developed in recent years into a unique ”platform for independents,” a summer festival in a renown spa that is particularly proud of its links to Sundance and Tribeca in the United States, Sochi in Russia, and Pusan in Korea. Indeed, for young Czech and Slovak backpackers pilgering annually to KVIFF, the core of the festival fare has always been the popular Forum of Independents section, programmed for over a decade by Stefan Ulrik, a Czech TV reporter.
