And further: “Wouldn’t this be an appropriate moment in history to pass the torch?” 13 Most likely there is no more torch to pass. If there is a thing to pass writing, which inspires artists to produce new works, which, in turn, are (a merit, a philosophy, an attitude), the questions would still remain: engaged in new writings, and so on. Passing it on to whom? To an individual? A collective? An entire move- But reaction shots are not limited to cinema. Adventurous trans-disciplin- ment?

C’est découvrir d’autres films dans lesquels elle a joué, ainsi que les trois longs métrages qu’elle a réalisés. Ils n’ont pour la majorité jamais été montrés dans nos salles. Juliet Berto Lors d’un ciné-club à Grenoble elle fait la rencontre de Godard et part pour Paris. Celui-ci l’immortalise dans ses films en icône de la génération 1968. À travers le cinéma commercial, elle se forge ensuite au métier de comédienne. En Alain Tanner, pour qui elle joue dans deux films, elle trouve quelqu’un comme elle en périphérie de la nouvelle vague, aux larges horizons. Attirée par le tiers-monde elle découvre chez Glauber Rocha un cinéma en écho à son désir de vie, de rythme... Au milieu des années 1970, l’actrice autodidacte redécouvre chez Jacques Rivette le plaisir de jouer « comme quand on est enfant », tout en coécrivant Céline et Ju lie vont en bateau.

  • Performance in and of the Essay Film: Jean-Luc Godard Plays Jean-Luc Godard in Notre Musique (2004) Laura Rascaroli University College Cork
    SFC_9.1_05_art_Rascaroli.qxd 3/6/09 8:49 AM Page 49 Studies in French Cinema Volume 9 Number 1 © 2009 Intellect Ltd Article. English language. doi: 10.1386/sfc.9.1.49/1 Performance in and of the Essay film: Jean-Luc Godard plays Jean-Luc Godard in Notre musique (2004) Laura Rascaroli University College Cork Abstract Keywords The ‘essay film’ is an experimental, hybrid, self-reflexive form, which crosses Essay film generic boundaries and systematically employs the enunciator’s direct address to Jean-Luc Godard the audience. Open and unstable by nature, it articulates its rhetorical concerns in performance a performative manner, by integrating into the text the process of its own coming communicative into being, and by allowing answers to emerge in the position of the embodied negotiation spectator. My argument is that performance holds a privileged role in Jean-Luc authorial self- Godard’s essayistic cinema, and that it is, along with montage, the most evident representation site of the negotiation between film-maker and film, audience and film, film and Notre musique meaning. A fascinating case study is provided by Notre musique/Our Music (2004), in which Godard plays himself. Communicative negotiation is, I argue, both Notre musique’s subject matter and its textual strategy. It is through the variation in registers of acting performances that the film’s ethos of unreserved openness and instability is fully realised, and comes to fruition for its embodied spectator. In a rare scholarly contribution on acting performances in documentary cinema, Thomas Waugh reminds us that the classical documentary tradition took the notion of performance for granted; indeed, ‘semi-fictive characteri- zation, or “personalization,”… seemed to be the means for the documentary to attain maturity and mass audiences’ (Waugh 1990: 67).

  • GAUMONT PRESENTS: a CENTURY of FRENCH CINEMA, on View Through April 14, Includes Fifty Programs of Films Made from 1900 to the Present
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release January 1994 GAUNONT PRESENTS: A CENTURY OF FRENCH CINEMA January 28 - April 14, 1994 A retrospective tracing the history of French cinema through films produced by Gaumont, the world's oldest movie studio, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on January 28, 1994. GAUMONT PRESENTS: A CENTURY OF FRENCH CINEMA, on view through April 14, includes fifty programs of films made from 1900 to the present. All of the films are recently restored, and new 35mm prints were struck especially for the exhibition. Virtually all of the sound films feature new English subtitles as well. A selection of Gaumont newsreels [actualites) accompany the films made prior to 1942. The exhibition opens with the American premiere of Bertrand Blier's Un deux trois soleil (1993), starring Marcello Mastroianni and Anouk Grinberg, on Friday, January 28, at 7:30 p.m. A major discovery of the series is the work of Alice Guy-Blache, the film industry's first woman producer and director. She began making films as early as 1896, and in 1906 experimented with sound, using popular singers of the day. Her film Sur la Barricade (1906), about the Paris Commune, is featured in the series. Other important directors whose works are included in the exhibition are among Gaumont's earliest filmmakers: the pioneer animator and master of trick photography Emile Cohl; the surreal comic director Jean Durand; the inventive Louis Feuillade, who went on to make such classic serials as Les Vampires (1915) and Judex (1917), both of which are shown in their entirety; and Leonce Perret, an outstanding early realistic narrative filmmaker.

  • Go East by Southeast – 13Th Festival of Central and Eastern European
    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF MEDIA STUDIES www.necsus-ejms.org NECSUS Published by: Amsterdam University Press Festival Reviews edited by Marijke de Valck and Skadi Loist of the Film Festival Research Network Go east by southeast 13th Festival of Central and Eastern European Film Wiesbaden Greg de Cuir, Jr The Festival of Central and Eastern European Film Wiesbaden,1 also known as ‘goEast’, is a key event on the German film festival calendar. This is perhaps in no small part due to the fact that the festival is organised by the Deutsches Filminstitut, also because it enjoys a dedicated following among enthusiasts of the larger, general festival community. GoEast is structured by a modestly-sized feature film competition section which also includes documentaries. The total number of titles in this section in 2013 was 17. There are a number of smaller special programs at the festival, including a retrospective homage to a master cineaste and a multi-part symposium. The symposium format serves as an example of the profitability of the sites of convergence between film festivals and the academic sphere. Many academics have long been involved with curating and programming activities at festivals; this interaction will likely increase with the further development of the burgeoning field of film festival studies – indeed film festivals themselves may be actively driving this development. The goEast symposium functions as a hybrid academic conference/screening series with a slate of lectures and related film projections. The 2013 symposium was titled Bright Black Frames: New Yugoslav Film Between Subversion and Critique, led by Dr. Gal Kirn (Postdoctoral Fellow, Humboldt Uni- versity Berlin) and Vedrana Madžar (Curator/Filmmaker).

  • Between Objective Engagement and Engaged Cinema: Jean- Luc
    It is often argued that between 1967 and 1974 Godard operated under a misguided assessment of the effervescence of the social and political situation and produced the equivalent of “terrorism” in filmmaking. He did this, as the argument goes, by both subverting the formal operations of narrative film and by being biased 01/13 toward an ideological political engagement.1 Here, I explore the idea that Godard’s films of this period are more than partisan political statements or anti-narrative formal experimentations. The filmmaker’s response to the intense political climate that reigned during what he would retrospectively call his “leftist trip” years was based on a filmic-theoretical Irmgard Emmelhainz praxis in a Marxist-Leninist vein. Through this I t praxis, Godard explored the role of art and artists r a and their relationship to empirical reality.

His parents sent him to live in Switzerland when the war broke out, but in the late 40's he returned to Paris to study ethnology at the Sorbonne. He became acquainted with Claude Chabrol, Francois Truffaut, Eric Rohmer and Jacques Rivette, forming part of a group of passionate young film- makers devoted to exploring new possibilities in cinema. They were the leading lights of Cahiers du Cinéma, where they published their radical views on film. Godard's obsession with cinema beyond all else led to alienation from his family who cut off his allowance. Like the small time crooks he was to feature in his films, he supported himself by petty theft. He was desperate to put his theories into practice so he took a job working on a Swiss dam and used it as an opportunity to film a documentary on the project.
