  • Home Video Philology: Methodological Reflections
    Special – peer-reviewed Cinergie – Il cinema e le altre arti. N.13 (2018) https://doi.org/10.6092/issn.2280-9481/7878 ISSN 2280-9481 Home Video Philology: Methodological Reflections Valerio Sbravatti Submitted: March 1, 2018 – Revised version: May 25, 2018 Accepted: June 15, 2018 – Published: July 12, 2018 Abstract Digital home video is an extremely useful means of watching and analyzing films. However, scholars often neglect the fact that official home video or streaming releases of a film can have differences from theoriginal version of the film itself. Such variances typically are lack of film grain (resulting from digital noise reduction), differences in color grading, and soundtrack remixing. This can depend on the fact that the technicians who work on home video releases are unprepared, or are instructed to adjust the look and the sound of the film to the current taste, or because the filmmakers changed their mind and requested some modifications. Atany rate, film scholars must be aware of such possible inconsistencies, otherwise their study could be fallacious. In this article I discuss upon philological problems of home video releases mainly from a practical point of view. Keywords: Blu-ray Disc; DVD; film fandom; film philology; film restoration.

  • History and Ethics of Film Restoration by Jeffrey Lauber a Thesis
    History and Ethics of Film Restoration by Jeffrey Lauber A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Moving Image Archiving and Preservation Program Department of Cinema Studies New York University May 2019 ii ABSTRACT Film restoration and its products have been subjects of scrutiny and debate since the dawn of the practice. The process inherently bears an innumerable quantity of unresolvable uncertainties, a characteristic which has sparked discussions amongst archivists, restorers, scholars, critics, and audiences alike about the ethical implications of restoring motion pictures. This thesis contends that it would be both impractical and unproductive to impose a rigid set of ethical principles on a practice which so inevitably relies on subjectivity. Instead, it devises a more holistic understanding of film restoration practice and ethics to work towards a conceptual framework for film restoration ethics. Drawing from theoretical discourse and real-world case studies, this thesis examines the ways in which restorers have confronted and mitigated uncertainties in their work, and explores the ethical implications of their decisions. As an understanding of the philosophical and economic motivations behind film restoration provides essential foundational knowledge for understanding the evolution of its ethical discourse, the thesis begins by charting a contextual history of the practice before exploring the discourse and its core ethical concerns. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements

  • SCMS 2019 Conference Program
    CELEBRATING SIXTY YEARS SCMS 1959-2019 SCMSCONFERENCE 2019PROGRAM Sheraton Grand Seattle MARCH 13–17 Letter from the President Dear 2019 Conference Attendees, This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies. Formed in 1959, the first national meeting of what was then called the Society of Cinematologists was held at the New York University Faculty Club in April 1960. The two-day national meeting consisted of a business meeting where they discussed their hope to have a journal; a panel on sources, with a discussion of “off-beat films” and the problem of renters returning mutilated copies of Battleship Potemkin; and a luncheon, including Erwin Panofsky, Parker Tyler, Dwight MacDonald and Siegfried Kracauer among the 29 people present. What a start! The Society has grown tremendously since that first meeting. We changed our name to the Society for Cinema Studies in 1969, and then added Media to become SCMS in 2002. From 29 people at the first meeting, we now have approximately 3000 members in 38 nations. The conference has 423 panels, roundtables and workshops and 23 seminars across five-days. In 1960, total expenses for the society were listed as $71.32. Now, they are over $800,000 annually. And our journal, first established in 1961, then renamed Cinema Journal in 1966, was renamed again in October 2018 to become JCMS: The Journal of Cinema and Media Studies. This conference shows the range and breadth of what is now considered “cinematology,” with panels and awards on diverse topics that encompass game studies, podcasts, animation, reality TV, sports media, contemporary film, and early cinema; and approaches that include affect studies, eco-criticism, archival research, critical race studies, and queer theory, among others.
