This article argues that Southland Tales is an example of what feminist theologian Catherine Keller calls the “counter-apocalyptic” (Keller 1996:19-20). Through strategies of ironic parody Kelly both describes and questions the apocalyptic and its easy polarities. In situating the film as counter-apocalyptic the paper argues that the film both resists the apocalyptic impulse however it is also located within it. In this sense it produces a unique take on the genre of the post-apocalyptic film and a powerful fluid critique of the post 9/11 security state.

  • Film & Literature
    Name_____________________ Date__________________ Film & Literature Mr. Corbo Film & Literature “Underneath their surfaces, all movies, even the most blatantly commercial ones, contain layers of complexity and meaning that can be studied, analyzed and appreciated.” --Richard Barsam, Looking at Movies Curriculum Outline Form and Function: To equip students, by raising their awareness of the development and complexities of the cinema, to read and write about films as trained and informed viewers. From this base, students can progress to a deeper understanding of film and the proper in-depth study of cinema. By the end of this course, you will have a deeper sense of the major components of film form and function and also an understanding of the “language” of film. You will write essays which will discuss and analyze several of the films we will study using accurate vocabulary and language relating to cinematic methods and techniques. Just as an author uses literary devices to convey ideas in a story or novel, filmmakers use specific techniques to present their ideas on screen in the world of the film.

  • The Donnie Darko (2001) Case
    doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1984- 8412.2020.e70764 SUBVERTING THE CHRONOTOPE: THE DONNIE DARKO (2001) CASE SUBVERTENDO O CRONOTOPO: O CASO DONNIE DARKO (2001) SUBVERTIENDO EL CHRONOTOPE: EL CASO DONNIE DARKO (2001) Marcia Tiemy Morita Kawamoto* Instituto Federal de Santa Catarina | Campus Gaspar ABSTRACT: This paper analyzes the film Donnie Darko (2001) by director and screenwriter Richard Kelly through the theoretical perspective of Mikhail Bakhtin’s (1981) chronotope. The latter defines it as an intermingling between temporal and spatial relations, artistically assimilated in literature (BAKHTIN, 1981), but in this study it is applied to film studies. Gilles Deleuze’s (1986, 1989) concepts of movement-image and time-image also contribute to the analysis. The film presents sequences of chronotope disruption, which are associated to the main’s characters mental state. Film techniques as parallelism, superimposition and ellipsis contribute to this break in the time and space association. Lastly, the analysis discusses Garret Stewart’s (2007) proposal that the digital cinema contributes to a disruptive cinematography, especially in relation to time-space constructions. KEYWORDS: Film studies. Chronotope. Science fiction. RESUMO: Este artigo analisa o filme Donnie Darko (2001) do diretor e roteirista Richard Kelly através da perspectiva teórica do cronotopo de Mikhail Bakhtin (1981). Este último define-o como um entrelaçamento entre relações temporais e espaciais, artisticamente assimiladas na literatura (BAKHTIN, 1981), mas neste estudo é aplicado aos estudos de filmes. Os conceitos de imagem-movimento e imagem-tempo de Gilles Deleuze (1986, 1989) também contribuem para a análise. O filme apresenta sequências de interrupção cronotópica, que estão associadas ao estado mental do personagem principal.

  • The Mind-Game Film Thomas Elsaesser
    9781405168625_4_001.qxd 8/10/08 11:58 AM Page 13 1 The Mind-Game Film Thomas Elsaesser Playing Games In December 2006, Lars von Trier’s The Boss of It All was released. The film is a comedy about the head of an IT company hiring a failed actor to play the “boss of it all,” in order to cover up a sell-out. Von Trier announced that there were a number of (“five to seven”) out-of-place objects scattered throughout, called Lookeys: “For the casual observer, [they are] just a glitch or a mistake. For the initiated, [they are] a riddle to be solved. All Lookeys can be decoded by a system that is unique. [. .] It’s a basic mind game, played with movies” (in Brown 2006). Von Trier went on to offer a prize to the first spectator to spot all the Lookeys and uncover the rules by which they were generated. “Mind-game, played with movies” fits quite well a group of films I found myself increasingly intrigued by, not only because of their often weird details and the fact that they are brain-teasers as well as fun to watch, but also because they seemed to cross the usual boundaries of mainstream Hollywood, independent, auteur film and international art cinema. I also realized I was not alone: while the films I have in mind generally attract minority audiences, their appeal manifests itself as a “cult” following. Spectators can get passionately involved in the worlds that the films cre- ate – they study the characters’ inner lives and back-stories and become experts in the minutiae of a scene, or adept at explaining the improbabil- ity of an event.

  • Cinemeducation Movies Have Long Been Utilized to Highlight Varied
    Cinemeducation Movies have long been utilized to highlight varied areas in the field of psychiatry, including the role of the psychiatrist, issues in medical ethics, and the stigma toward people with mental illness. Furthermore, courses designed to teach psychopathology to trainees have traditionally used examples from art and literature to emphasize major teaching points. The integration of creative methods to teach psychiatry residents is essential as course directors are met with the challenge of captivating trainees with increasing demands on time and resources. Teachers must continue to strive to create learning environments that give residents opportunities to apply, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate information (1). To reach this goal, the use of film for teaching may have advantages over traditional didactics. Films are efficient, as they present a controlled patient scenario that can be used repeatedly from year to year. Psychiatry residency curricula that have incorporated viewing contemporary films were found to be useful and enjoyable pertaining to the field of psychiatry in general (2) as well as specific issues within psychiatry, such as acculturation (3). The construction of a formal movie club has also been shown to be a novel way to teach psychiatry residents various aspects of psychiatry (4). Introducing REDRUMTM Building on Kalra et al. (4), we created REDRUMTM (Reviewing [Mental] Disorders with a Reverent Understanding of the Macabre), a Psychopathology curriculum for PGY-1 and -2 residents at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. REDRUMTM teaches topics in mental illnesses by use of the horror genre. We chose this genre in part because of its immense popularity; the tropes that are portrayed resonate with people at an unconscious level.

Students view films from around the world and analyze cinematic representations of religious narratives, beliefs, practices, communities, and institutions.
