  • ANDREI KONCHALOVSKY È Nato a Mosca Nel
    ANDREI KONCHALOVSKY È nato a Mosca nel 1937, figlio dello scrittore Sergej Michalkov (il padre è autore del testo dell'inno nazionale russo) e della poetessa Natalija Koncaloskaja. Suo fratello è Nikita Mikhalkov. Bisnonno e nonno celebri pittori zaristi. Da giovane si afferma come pianista, anche se la sua grande passione è il cinema. Si iscrive alla VGIK, una delle migliori scuole di cinema del Paese, sotto la guida di Mikhail Romm, dove incontra Andrei Tarkovsky, con cui collabora come sceneggiatore (fa anche l'attore nel film “L’infanzia di Ivan”). Il 1966 è l’anno del suo debutto alla regia con “Il primo maestro”, tratto dal racconto di C. Ajtmatov e ambientato nel periodo post-rivoluzionario, nel sud della Russia. Dopo svariati problemi con la censura, il regista si dedica alla trasposizione cinematografica di opere letterarie. “Nido di Nobili” (1969), da Turgeney, e “Zio Vanja” (1970), da Cechov. Con “Romanza degli innamorati” (1974) e “Siberiade” (1978), storia drammatica della popolazione siberiana, torna ai temi contemporanei, attirando l'attenzione della critica europea e americana. Tra gli anni ’80 e i primi anni ’90, trasferitosi negli Stati Uniti, lavora a diverse opere tra cui “Maria’s Lovers” (1984), “A 30 secondi dalla fine” (1986), “Sky People” (1987), “Homer and Eddy” (1989), “Tango e Cash” (1991), “Il protezionista” (1992). Tornato in Russia dopo la caduta del comunismo, dirige “Asja e la gallina dalle uova d’oro”. Si dedica a grandi lavori come “L’Odissea”, con Armand Assante, “La casa dei matti” e “The Lion in the Winter”, con Glenn Close. Con il cortometraggio “Al buio” nel 2007 collabora con numerosi colleghi al film a episodi “A ciascuno il suo cinema”, dedicato a Federico Fellini per celebrare i 60 anni del Festival di Cannes.

  • Australian International Movie Convention
    AUSTRALIAN INTERNATIONAL MOVIE CONVENTION 21 AUGUST 2012 KEYNOTE ADDRESS BY KIM WILLIAMS Check against delivery Ladies and gentlemen, my subject today is copyright. It’s a topic as potentially dry as a pub with no beer. Its mere mention makes you think of lawyers. And fees. And trademarks. And fine print. So let’s put that all aside for a moment and talk about what copyright is really about. Let’s cut right to the chase. Copyright is about enabling the production of great art and great commercial work – hopefully both. It’s about nurturing the creative process. It’s about supporting business cases and employment. About getting the noblest imaginings of the human mind and human emotions into a form that the whole world can see and share. If you want to know why you should care about copyright, here’s a little exercise you can all do. Think about the ten greatest pieces of art that you couldn’t live without. It might be the ten best pieces of music you have ever heard—the ones that really lift your soul. Beethoven’s Ninth perhaps. Or the ten greatest books you have ever read—the ones that changed the way you view the world like a great piece of history by Barbara Tuchmann or a novel by Jonathan Franzen or Peter Carey. Or the ten greatest television series you’ve ever seen—the ones that sparked your interests as a child or moved you to tears on the living room couch. Roots perhaps, or maybe Brideshead Revisited. What about Cloudstreet or Bodyline, Underbelly, or Howzat! Kerry Packers War? Or the ten greatest movies you have ever seen—the most sublime, the most moving, the most hilarious.

We will also tackle related categories of contemporary film studies such as “national cinema,” “transnational cinema,” “global cinema,” “third cinema,” “third-world cinema,” and postcolonial cinema. Comparative case studies will be drawn from countries and regions from around the world: Africa, Russia, Germany, France, China, and Hong Kong. As we look at some pivotal moments in world film history, we will also raise broad issues in current film studies such as globalization, diaspora, cinematic style, national identity, visual culture, and film industry. Students will examine the ideas, practices, and styles of a variety of filmmakers such as Sergei Eisenstein, Dziga Vertov, R. W. Fassbinder, Jean-Luc Godard, Yasujiro Ozu, Gillo Pontecorvo, Wong Kar-wai, Jia Zhangke, Zhang Yimou, Ousmane Sembene, Claire Denis, and many others. Students will also read the theoretical and critical writings of Walter Benjamin, Dudley Andrew, Miriam Hansen, Hamid Naficy, Svetlana Boym, Anton Kaes, and so on.
