While troubling the notion of women’s cinema, its definition, limits and limitations, a wide range of case studies – films emerging from dissimilar contexts of production and reception – will be mostly read and discussed in the light of feminist approaches to questions about gender and representation. In this sense, the course will also offer a historical and critical overview of feminist scholarship within film studies and of the ongoing debates in this area of study. LEARNING OUTCOMES By the end of the course, students will be able to: 2 1. Critically reflect upon questions concerning women and film, both in terms of their involvement in production and in the processes of reception. 2. Ponder the key notions involved in the debates around, and the study of, feminist film theory, gendered representations and considerations on point of view. REQUIRED READINGS All the bibliography listed under the title of the film/s that will be screened each week is compulsory reading.

  • A Case Study on Film Authorship: Exploring the Theoretical and Practical Sides in Film Production
    A Case Study on Film Authorship by David Tregde — 5 A Case Study on Film Authorship: Exploring the Theoretical and Practical Sides in Film Production David Tregde* Media Arts and Entertainment Elon University Abstract Film authorship has been a topic of debate in film theory since the Cahiers du Cinema critics first birthed auteur theory. Andrew Sarris used this theory to categorize directors based on their level of artistic au- thorship, solidifying the idea that a director is the sole author of a film. In The Schreiber Theory, David Kipen argues that a writer is responsible for creating the world of the movie and should be considered the author of a film. However, collaborative theories, such as those proposed by Paul Sellors, provide a more practical framework for studying film authorship. Rarely are any film authorship theories compared with specific exam- ples. To compare theory to practice, this research took a two-fold approach. First, theory is explored through primary and secondary sources to give a background and understanding of the main arguments in authorship. Second, this research documents the production of two feature films (Blade Runner & The Man Who Killed Don Quixote) as case studies through analysis of in-depth documentaries. By examining these productions, this study observes theory in practice rather than studying the finished products. I. The Problem of Authorship “Authorship does matter,” says Janet Staiger, because it addresses the issue of acknowledging credit behind a motion picture (Gerstner and Staiger 27). When addressing the responsible parties for a film, it is important to know why such analysis is needed.

  • Women's Experimental Cinema
    FILM STUDIES/WOMEN’S STUDIES BLAETZ, Women’s Experimental Cinema provides lively introductions to the work of fifteen avant- ROBIN BLAETZ, garde women filmmakers, some of whom worked as early as the 1950s and many of whom editor editor are still working today. In each essay in this collection, a leading film scholar considers a single filmmaker, supplying biographical information, analyzing various influences on her Experimental Cinema Women’s work, examining the development of her corpus, and interpreting a significant number of individual films. The essays rescue the work of critically neglected but influential women filmmakers for teaching, further study, and, hopefully, restoration and preservation. Just as importantly, they enrich the understanding of feminism in cinema and expand the ter- rain of film history, particularly the history of the American avant-garde. The essays highlight the diversity in these filmmakers’ forms and methods, covering topics such as how Marie Menken used film as a way to rethink the transition from ab- stract expressionism to Pop Art in the 1950s and 1960s, how Barbara Rubin both objecti- fied the body and investigated the filmic apparatus that enabled that objectification in her film Christmas on Earth (1963), and how Cheryl Dunye uses film to explore her own identity as a black lesbian artist. At the same time, the essays reveal commonalities, in- cluding a tendency toward documentary rather than fiction and a commitment to nonhi- erarchical, collaborative production practices. The volume’s final essay focuses explicitly on teaching women’s experimental films, addressing logistical concerns (how to acquire the films and secure proper viewing spaces) and extending the range of the book by sug- gesting alternative films for classroom use.

  • In Plane Sight: Theories of Film Spectatorship and Animation
    IN PLANE SIGHT: THEORIES OF FILM SPECTATORSHIP AND ANIMATION BY ERIN C. HEATH DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English with a minor in Cinema Studies and a minor in Gender and Women's Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Ramona Curry, Chair Professor Jose B. Capino Professor Lilya Kaganovsky Professor Richard Neupert, University of Georgia ii Abstract This dissertation undertakes to assess the pertinence of established theories of cinematic spectatorship to understanding viewers’ perception of animation, particularly cel and other animating cinematic practices (like claymation) that do not attempt to approximate the look of live action filming. The study considers the usefulness of psychoanalytic theories, cognitive studies, and cultural studies approaches to film spectatorship, in particular, to grasping animation’s impact on audiences. I argue that aspects of those film theories, although developed largely in relation to live action film, not only elucidate many facets of viewer responses to animated films, but also together yield a usefully comprehensive approach to cinema spectatorship more generally. The dissertation argues that theories of film spectatorship relating to four issues––questions of realism, character engagement, and the impact of sound effects and music––generally work to analyze audiences’ experience of animation. However, those overarching theories do require revision to account for two further issues that arise due to particularities in animation’s construction and reception: spectators’ readings of animated characters’ gendered and raced bodies and the accompanying disembodied voice performances.

  • Jon Lewis and Eric Smoodin
    Jon Lewis and Eric Smoodin INTRODUCTION What do we talk or write about when we talk and write about American fi lm history? The answer is predictably complex and elusive, because there is a lot to talk and write about, because the medium as it has evolved over more than a century in the United States encompasses the textual, the industrial, and the social. This American Film History Reader acknowledges and accommodates this complex and elusive task by showcasing a range of historical writing, sampling a variety of answers to this fundamental question. When we talk or write about fi lm history, we by necessity talk and write about a lot of different things. The project of this book is twofold: (1) to provide the reader with a selective history of American cinema; and (2) to provide an introduction to historiographic practice as it relates to American moviemaking and moviegoing. The book is composed of eighteen essays organized into six parts focusing on: Industrial Practice, Technology, Reception, Films and Filmmakers, Censorship and Regu- lation, and Stardom. Appreciating that methods and materials change over time, this structure allows us to showcase a breadth of historiographic approaches and a range of research materials within each of these six parts. Each essay is a point of entry into a history that necessarily accounts for the essential and inherent commercial, experiential, social, and cultural aspects of the medium. This thematic structure organizes essays that are to an extent chronological as we are keenly interested in the evolution or trajectory of work within each of the six schools of fi lm history we have chosen to highlight in this book.

Canyon Collective Artists: Micropolitics in West Coast Experimental Film, 1960-79 Abstract In 1961, filmmakers Bruce Baillie, Chick Strand, Larry Jordan, and film critic Ernest Callenbach founded Canyon Cinema for weekly film screenings of a diverse selection of avant-garde, experimental and art- house films, newsreels, cartoons and animations as well as commercial Hollywood movies. Canyon screenings took place on locations expanding from San Francisco into Oakland, San Jose, and Berkeley as many as three times a week.

Through use of methods such as appropriation, fragmentation, and reflexivity, Canyon filmmakers

  • The Films of Peter Weir
    THE CINEMATIC MYSTICAL GAZE: The films of Peter Weir RICHARD JAMES LEONARD Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2003 Cinema Studies Program School of Fine Arts, Classical Studies and Archaeology The University of Melbourne Abstract Peter Weir is one of Australia’s most critically acclaimed and commercially successful directors. Ever since Weir’s feature film debut with The Cars that Ate Paris in 1974, his work has been explored for unifying themes. Scholars have analysed his films from many perspectives: the establishment of identification and identity especially through binary oppositions in the diegesis;1 the creation of an oneiric atmosphere as a way of exploiting the spectator’s dream experience;2 a clash of value systems;3 the ambiguous nature of narrative structure and character motivations leading to the creation of a sense of wonder;4 the experience of the protagonist placed in a foreign culture wherein conflict arises from social clashes and personal misunderstandings;5 and at the particular ways his films adapt generic codes in service of a discernible ideological agenda.6 To the best of my knowledge there has been no study of the mystical element of Weir’s work in relation to the construction of a cinematic mystical gaze or act of spectatorship. Within a culture defined by its secularity and a national cinema marked by quirky comedies and social realism, almost all of Weir’s films have been described as mystical, arcane or interested in metaphysics. Such an observation could warrant no further investigation if it is held that this critical commentary is but hyperbole in its attempt to grasp what constitutes a Peter Weir film.
