  • David Cronenberg: Transformaciones Orgánicas Y Psicológicas
    David Cronenberg: Transformaciones orgánicas y psicológicas Presentación Este curso está pensado para explorar las obras principales en la filmografía del director canadiense, estudiando su evolución y su consistencia temática a lo largo de toda su carrera vista en orden cronológico. Se discutirán temas como: • La efectividad del cine de género como alegoría y crítica social • El movimiento artístico de la Nueva Carne • El transhumanismo y sus implicaciones filosóficas • Los elementos recurrentes en el cine de Cronenberg • La transición de una etapa “orgánica” a otra más psicológica • La teoría del autor Objetivo: David Cronenberg, nacido en Canadá en 1943, ha sido llamado el “Rey del horror venéreo” y el “Barón de la sangre”. Pero más allá de estas etiquetas llamativas y sensacionalistas, se trata de un director de cine que ha desarrollado una carrera casi siempre desde los géneros marginados del horror y la ciencia ficción, incorporando tanto guiones propios como adaptaciones de literatura y comics, demostrando que es posible tener un acercamiento autoral a dichas vertientes de la ficción. Con temas y elementos recurrentes, su cine ha ido evolucionando al mismo tiempo que retiene sus preocupaciones y su visión del mundo, dando consistencia a una obra a lo largo de cuatro décadas. Este curso pretende explorar su filmografía y, de algún modo, reivindicar el potencial de los mal llamados subgéneros para comunicar temas relevantes. Imparte: Adrián “Pok” Manero Adrián "Pok" Manero (Ciudad de México, 1982). Escritor autodidacta, ha tomado talleres con Alberto Chimal, Eduardo Antonio Parra y Eric Uribares. Ganador del segundo concurso de cuento Caligrama, en cuya antología aparece su primer texto publicado.

Monte and his daughter Willow live together aboard a spacecraft, in complete isolation. A man whose strict self-discipline is a shield against desire, Monte fathered her against his will. His sperm was used to inseminate the young woman who gave birth to her. They were members of a crew of prisoners – death row inmates. Guinea pigs sent on a mission. Now only Monte and Willow remain. Through his daughter, he experiences the birth of an all-powerful love. Together, father and daughter approach their destination – the black hole in which time and space cease to exist. How did High Life come about? A while back, an English producer asked me if I wanted to participate in a collection of films called Femmes Fatales. At first, I wasn’t that interested, but after thinking it over, I agreed. The project took ages to get off the ground. There was no money. It took 6 or 7 years to hammer out a coproduction: France, Germany, Poland and eventually America. During that time, I went to England and the States to meet with actors. The actor I dreamed of for the lead role of Monte was Philip Seymour Hoffman, because of his age, his weariness – but he died mid- route.

  • SYMPHONIES of HORROR Musical Experimentation in Howard Shore's
    SYMPHONIES OF HORROR Musical Experimentation in Howard Shore’s Work with David Cronenberg A thesis submitted to the Oberlin College & Conservatory Musical Studies Department in fulfillment of the requirements for University Honors by Vikram Shankar Spring 2017 Shankar, Symphonies of Horror 2 Table of Contents: Introduction 3 Methodology 6 Theoretical Frameworks 9 Early Experimentation: The Brood 20 Synthesized Surrealism: Videodrome 30 Breaking Through to the Mainstream: The Fly 40 Scoring the Unfilmable: Naked Lunch 60 Conclusion 77 Works Cited 81 Nosferatu, A Symphony of Horror: original score 84 Acknowledgments 86 Shankar, Symphonies of Horror 3 INTRODUCTION With a career spanning almost forty years, Canadian composer Howard Shore has become one of the most respected and sought after film composers working in the industry today. Much of his work, in particular his scores for the Lord of the Rings films, have received much academic attention; his longstanding working relationship with Canadian horror filmmaker David Cronenberg, however, has not yet benefited from such academic inquiry. Using the films The Brood, Videodrome, The Fly, and Naked Lunch as case studies, this thesis examines the way that Shore uses the arena of Cronenberg’s films as a laboratory for personal musical experimentation. Examples include Shore’s use of electronic synthesizer sounds alongside a string orchestra for Videodrome, implementations of canonic techniques and against-the-grain writing for The Fly, and the incorporation of free-jazz aesthetics in Naked Lunch. Using as sources Howard Shore’s words and what academic inquiry exists in this field, but more often utilizing my own analysis and observations of the music and films, I argue that Shore’s scores incorporate such musical experimentation to work in tandem with Cronenberg’s own experimental art.
