Film Streams Programming Calendar Film Streams Supporters Want To Film Streams Programming Calendar The Ruth Sokolof Theater . April – June 2014 v7.4 The Young Girls of Rochefort 1967 Great Directors: Jacques Demy May 16 – June 12 French New Wave director Jacques Demy is best known for the dream- like worlds of color and youth he created with films like UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG and THE YOUNG GIRLS OF ROCHEFORT. Collaborating with composer Michel Legrand, Demy distinguished himself from his European peers by carving a musical niche out of the film movements of the 1960s. These seven meticulous restorations from Janus Films of his most beloved films renew the Technicolor splash of great works like UNE CHAMBRE DE VILLE – not to mention the perennial beauty of frequent star Catherine Deneuve. Lola 1961 Showcasing the director’s skill at multiple genres, the other films in this Bay of Angels 1963 survey of Demy’s work include a wild romp in black and white (LOLA), a Umbrellas of Cherbourg 1964 non-musical drama (BAY OF ANGELS), a bizarre and adroit political satire The Young Girls of Rochefort 1967 (A SLIGHTLY PREGNANT MAN), and a fairy-tale fantasy (DONKEY SKIN). All are films from an artist of unique vision that still demand to be on the big Donkey Skin 1970 screen. Also included is THE WORLD OF JACQUES DEMY, a documentary A Slightly Pregnant Man 1973 by his wife, Agnes Varda. Une chambre de ville 1982 See reverse side for more information and dates.

  • Demy Texte Anglais Complet
    'Demy and the Marvellous' Once upon a time… 'My life is a long childhood,' sang the young women of Rochefort in a working version of their famous song. This is also what Jacques Demy thought about his own life. His wonderment before the puppet shows to which his mother took him led to the vocation, at a very young age, of cinema seen as a dream or magical toy… For the little 'Jacquot of Nantes', everything started from childhood and all his art contributed to prolonging it. In the family attic, fitted out as a 'studio', he painted stories on strips of celluloid, also shooting frame by frame with an amateur movie camera to animate his cardboard characters. Alone and like a craftsman, he invented worlds for himself, small-scale models of the fantasies to come. Once he had grown up, Demy would like the sequence-length shot whose duration helped in creating a seamless world… He would imagine bringing back characters and actors from film to film, thus dreaming his oeuvre like a village and a world, a great uninterrupted fiction, constantly run through with influences and returns. He would shoot in the street, but as a painter of reality, would also intervene on the motif: the large flats of colours on the façades of the houses in Rochefort, the macadam smoothed expressly for Gene Kelly's dance… The Marvellous, from the Latin mirabilia ('astonishing, admirable things'), meets an intimate need to transfigure reality: doubtless to protect himself from it and to substitute a desirable world for it. Demy liked to bring back his characters from one film to the next, thus dreaming of a truly marvellous world ruled by his own laws.

  • The Saga of Jacques Demy: Paul Auster’S the Book of Illusions
    THE SAGA OF JACQUES DEMY: PAUL AUSTER’S THE BOOK OF ILLUSIONS Copyright © 2010 by James Clark Of all the Paul Auster novels, the title for the text, The Book of Illusions , carries us farthest into the heart of its discernment. Whereas a cursory reading (utterly pointless, when it comes to that most nuanced of projects) would settle upon the “illusions” dished up by a set of films under the auspices of one “Hector Mann,” a more fertile line of initial engagement would twig on to the name of the narrator/protagonist, “David Zimmer .” Zimmer denotes an enclosed space, a room. The Zimmer in question would thereby fall in line with a horde of Auster players the centripetal energies of whom render them, as extirpated from a wide, cogently sensuous dynamic, ascetic (illusory and delusory) figures whose compensatory bids on behalf of carnal frappe sour to the level of bathetic insistence, the interpersonal range of which would tend to hectoring , harassment of others for the sake of bending them to its will. Woven into the illusory exploits, thus structured, of Zimmer, the locked room, and Hector, the loose cannon, is a very familiar motif (chimaeric, illusory in its location as overtone to banal events) drawn from the 1955 film noir, Kiss Me Deadly , namely, Pandora’s Box, a fountain of dynamic power to master or misplay with destructive, and sometimes deadly, consequences. As it happens, the silent movies from 1928, which Hector directed and in which he starred as a comedian, come with titles imparting another crucial vein, in the form of overtone of illusory vigor deriving from the work of another filmmaker, namely, Jacques Demy (1931-1990).

  • When the President Talks to God: a Rhetorical Criticism of Anti-Bush Protest Music
    WHEN THE PRESIDENT TALKS TO GOD: A RHETORICAL CRITICISM OF ANTI-BUSH PROTEST MUSIC Megan O'Byrne A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2008 Committee: Michael L. Butterworth, Advisor Lara Martin Lengel Ellen W. Gorsevski ii ABSTRACT Michael L. Butterworth, Advisor Anti-war protest music has re-emerged onto the American songscape since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and the resulting military conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. This study works to explicate the ways in which protest music functions in the resultant culture of war. Protest music, as it reflects and creates culture, represents one possible site of productive change. Chapter 1 examines Ani DiFranco’s song “Self Evident” which was written as an immediate reaction to 9/11. Throughout this chapter I argue that protest music has the potential to work as a vehicle for consciousness raising. In Chapter 2 I consider the constitutive elements in the Bright Eyes song “When the President Talks to God.” Performed on The Tonight Show in May 2005, this song represents one of the first performances of dissent on national television after 9/11. This chapter also examines the limitations of Charland’s conception of the constituted public as it pertains to diverse and heterogeneous audiences. Ultimately, I argue that consciousness raising through music has the potential to bring listeners into the constituted subject position of those who dissent against war. iii Dedicated to the memory of Dr. Lewis (Lee) Snyder in whose shadow I will always walk.
