If that principle were applied both ways, of course, the responsible student expression that has characterized most matters this year would have brought results more representative of the student opinion. The Administration attitude, however, has rather been one of "delay and avoid," in any case of student protest it deemed troublesome. This was brought out clearly in the case of the Calendar, as weeks passed by while the Administration rejected any question with the rejoinder, "It's not final yet," or "That's not my department." This approach had marked effects on student ex­ Stifled Initiative pression.

The annual's edit07ializing effectively showed a deteiynination to defend the nan-ow scope of apathetic thousands. The critic of the SCHOLASTIC appealed to a select group; there is doubt whether there was any room in that group for the thinking student. (Any resemblance, real or imagined, to the 1964 Dome is purely coincidental.) In a community such as exists at Notre Dame, it is unfortunate that student organizations should subject each other to careless attacks. Inevitable dis­ agreements win arise among student publications, but when these degenerate into personal or vindictive attacks, the parties involved merely display their lack of maturity. Sniping at one's colleagues may be good sport, but it distracts from the solid character of a publication and leaves it open to other criticism.

Inspired by the unconventional cinematic techniques such as nonlinear narrative and repetitive language used in the 1961 film Last Year at Marienbad (directed by Alain Resnais, with screenplay by Alain Robbe-Grillet), the exhibition Last Year at Marienbad redux features works of art that deploy these and other devices⎯⎯editing, character development, plot, mise-en-scène and montage⎯⎯to disrupt, challenge and conflate what is understood as fact and fiction. The project explores how memory, meaning and, ultimately, an understanding of reality are shaped. Last Year at Marienbad redux will bring together work by nine international contemporary artists whose practices engage with the technical and conceptual qualities of cinema.

They made it clear that they possessed certain magical secrets of their profession, but they mentioned them evasively. Now and then they made lofty artistic pronouncements, but they showed a more sincere interest in anecdotes about scenarios that were written on a cuff during a gay supper.... This might well be a description of Hollywood during any period of its cultivated silence on the matter of film-making. Actually, it is Leningrad in 1924, described by Grigori Kozintsev in his memoirs.1 It is so seldom that we are allowed to study the disclosures of a Hollywood film-maker about his medium that I cannot recall the last instance that preceded John Howard Lawson's book. There is no dearth of books about Hollywood, but when did any other book come from there that takes such articulate pride in the art that is-or was-made there? I have never understood exactly why the makers of American films felt it necessary to hide their methods and aims under blankets of coyness and anecdotes, the one as impenetrable as the other.

  • Memory and Film
    MEMORY AND FILM Cinema is obsessed with memory. Time, memory and the past are thematic threads which run through the whole range of film, persistently recurring in national cinemas across the international spectrum. From the popularist mainstream to the obscurest avant-garde – from Steven Spielberg to Andrey Tarkovsky, Alfred Hitchcock to Jean Cocteau, David Lynch to Wong Kar-Wai – it’s difficult to think of a major film artist who hasn’t explored the theme of time, memory and the past. The medium exhibits properties which makes a focus on memory attractive to cinema. The frisson of film, its actuality quality, its ability to pinpoint a moment of time visually and aurally with a visceral immediacy difficult for other mediums. Yet also the sweep of cinema, its ability to move through time and space with the momentum of montage and the evocation of flashback. Cinema can give us an entire life in a few seconds. The fleeting mental images cinema is able to summon – the pictures in the fire – resemble the process of recall itself. Cinema is protective of memory and its veracity. Many films harbour deep suspicion of experiments with memory –Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Condry, 2004) and Minority Report (Spielberg, 2002) are examples. I can only think of one movie which guardedly approves of experiments with memory and recall 2 being of potential benefit to mankind – Wim Wenders’ Until the End of the World (1991). Living vicariously through the recall of others is negatively portrayed in dystopian post-apocalyptic narratives such as Blade Runner (Scott, 1982), Strange Days (Bigelow, 1995) and Johnny Mnemonic (Longo, 1996).

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.
