Une vraie folie car ni l’un ni l’autre n’ont réellement les moyens d’assumer ce signe extérieur de richesse. Terry travaille dans un garage tandis que Ian dirige le restaurant de leurs parents. Lorsque le premier est confronté à une importante dette de jeu et que le second s’éprend d’Angela, ambitieuse comédienne de théâtre, ils sont obligés de solliciter l’aide de leur oncle Howard qui a fait fortune en Californie. En contrepartie de son solide coup de pouce financier, il leur demande de lui rendre un petit service.

JULIET TAYLOR GAIL STEVENS C.D.G PATRICIA DICERTO LE REVE DE WOODY Le réalisateur s’intéresse ici à un milieu qui lui est a priori étranger : la communauté Cockney du sud de Londres. “L’idée de ce film est très ancienne, raconte Woody Allen, mais je n’y ai mis aucune référence particulière. J’y vois toutefois par certains côtés des connivences avec la tragédie grecque, même s’il ne s’agit là que d’une impression générale.” La thématique du film évoque à la fois l’ambiance de romans russes tels que Les frères Karamazov (pour les relations qu’entretiennent Ian et Terry) ou Crime et châtiment (pour le poids de la faute). “Quiconque a lu les romans russes ne peut qu’en subir l’influence, explique Woody Allen. C’est impossible d’y échapper.” On retrouve également dans LE REVE DE CASSANDRE des réminiscences de PLEIN SOLEIL de René Clément ou du COUTEAU DANS L’EAU de Roman Polanski pour les scènes se déroulant à bord du voilier. Une volonté délibérée de brouiller les cartes de la part d’un réalisateur réputé pour ses phobies et qu’on imagine assez mal embarquant pour une croisière en haute mer. Courageux mais pas téméraire, le cinéaste déclare d’ailleurs à ce propos : “Je n’ai jamais posé le pied sur le bateau. J’ai dirigé ces séquences depuis le rivage en utilisant un moniteur vidéo.” Côté casting, Woody Allen s’est imposé une règle en rupture totale avec les pratiques en cours dans le cinéma américain traditionnel. Si chacun de ses interprètes est celui qui lui tient le plus à coeur, il collabore surtout avec les comédiens disponibles au moment du tournage et ne remet jamais un projet en s’arrêtant à ce genre de considérations... Il réunit ici l’acteur écossais Ewan McGregor, l’irlandais Colin Farrell et les anglais Tom Wilkinson, Sally Hawkins et Hayley Atwell, qui accomplit ici ses débuts au cinéma. C’est la deuxième fois après MELINDA ET MELINDA, que Woody Allen collabore avec le chef opérateur d’origine hongroise Vilmos Zsigmond. Lauréat d’un Oscar pour la photo de RENCONTRE DU TROISIEME TYPE de Steven Spielberg, le nom de Vilmos Zsigmond est associé à des classiques du cinéma américain tels que DELIVRANCE de John Boorman, LE PRIVE de Robert Altman, VOYAGE AU BOUT DE L’ENFER et LA PORTE DU PARADIS de Michael Cimino, OBSESSION et LE DAHLIA NOIR de Brian De Palma. La décoratrice Maria Djurkovic avait participé à SCOOP. Son nom figure au générique de films tels que BILLY ELLIOT et THE HOURS de Stephen Daldry, VANITY FAIR de Mira Nair, MAN TO MAN de Régis Wargnier et la comédie musicale de Phyllida Lloyd, MAMMA MIA ! Révélée par WALKING AND TALKING de Nicole Holofcener, Alisa Lepselter a monté tous les films de Woody Allen depuis ACCORDS ET DESACCORDS, en 1999. Grande première côté musique : après plus de trente ans à truffer les bandes originales de ses films de standards du jazz, Woody Allen a cette fois fait appel à l’un des maîtres incontestés de la musique contemporaine, Philip Glass, dont il utilise la composition par vagues pour souligner certains moments forts. “La tonalité de sa musique m’a semblé correspondre parfaitement au thème tragique de ce film”, explique le réalisateur qui ne s’interdit rien… sinon de ne plus surprendre.

    LANDSCAPES AND THE MACHINE: ADDRESSING WICKED VALUATION PROBLEMS WHEN NORTH, SOUTH, EAST AND WEST MEET A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the award of the degree Doctor of Philosophy by Michael McDermott Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building University of Technology, Sydney Supervisors: Associate Professor Jason Prior and Professor Spike Boydell 2015 Landscapes and the Machine: Addressing Wicked Valuation Problems when North, South, East and West Meet. i ABSTRACT This thesis is about engaging with the dynamic relationship between “landscapes”, “land tenure”, and the “machine”. The first term can be so broad as to mean every process and thing encountered, the second means the way that land is held by a person or group of persons, and the third means things both put together and used by humans to fulfil their wants and needs from the landscape. As a professional valuer I have been traditionally trained to engage at arms-length with the normative behaviour of persons or groups at the intersection of these three concepts, wherein those people and groups were willing but not compelled to engage. Such traditional valuation approaches are increasingly recognised as being insufficient to address wicked valuation problems of the diverse peoples and groups that inhabit the globe from North, South, East to West. This thesis develops a means of engaging with these wicked valuation problems in a suitably knowledgeable and prudent way. To do so the thesis adopts an exploratory approach guided by Whitehead’s process philosophy injunction of a creative advance into novelty. This approach is enacted through a range of data collection and analysis methods.

    REVIEW OF EXHIBITIONS AND PUBLIC PROGRAMS AT THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF AUSTRALIA SUBMISSION BY ANGUS TRUMBLE I wish to make the following submission in connection with DCITA’s 2003 Review of Exhibitions and Public Programs at the National Museum of Australia, Canberra. My thoughts about the NMA are largely the product of having for many years visited dozens museums all over the world, either out of interest or through my work as Curator of European Art at the Art Gallery of South Australia in Adelaide (1996 to 2001). However, I should also make it clear that I have had no professional contact with the NMA staff other than as an ordinary visitor, and it is in that capacity, not so much as an art museum curator, that I wish to comment on the building and aspects of the display, which I have studied carefully in the course of five visits in February and March this year. Despite the robust nature of many of my criticisms, I should say that I welcome the long-awaited arrival of the NMA. I believe it has a vital role to play in the cultural life of the nation, and the many problems that it must now solve are no more than temporary setbacks. None, apart from the terrible building, is insoluble, and even the building can be improved, I think, beyond measure. The architecture The design of the new NMA building is very poor and will not, I think, serve the long-term exhibition needs of the NMA. Nor will it open up new possibilities for public programming in the long term.

  • Not Even Past NOT EVEN PAST
    The past is never dead. It's not even past NOT EVEN PAST Search the site ... Of How a Hopi Ancient Word Became a Famous Experimental Film Like 65 Tweet by Montserrat Madariaga The theater is at its full capacity. The musicians are in place as the orchestra conductor starts to wave his arms in time with the image on the screen. There, little red dots emerge from a black background. They slowly widen and turn into capital letters: The word KOYAANISQATSI takes over. Keyboard notes evoking a church organ underline the mystery of the term and suit the dramatic hard-edged-typography. It is a Friday afternoon, February 23, 2018, in the Bass Concert Hall of the Texas Performing Art Center of The University of Texas, at Austin. The occasion is the screening of Godfrey Reggio’s 1982 lm, accompanied by the live performance of The Philip Glass Ensemble playing its original score music. Featured for the rst time to an ample public in the 1982 New York Film Festival, Koyaanisqatsi is an audiovisual art piece without dialogue or voiceover, deprived of any explicit narrative, that is nowadays a cult classic. It opens with a shot of the Holy Ghost Panel in Horseshoe Canyon, Utah, a human trace dated between 400 AD and 1100 AD. Then, footage of imposing natural landscapes and wildlife of the United States’ Southwest is followed by images of urban spaces: construction, crowded streets, demolitions, technology of the time, and so on. The collage escalates in its pace along with the music: utes, clarinet, trombone, viola, tuba, keyboards and vocals from time to time repeat the word “koyaanisqatsi” in a low pitched ceremonial tone that creates an apocalyptic atmosphere.

  • CMA Celebrates Philip Glass's 80Th with Screenings of the Qatsi Trilogy
    CMA celebrates Philip Glass’s 80th with screenings of the Qatsi Trilogy by Mike Telin “Philip Glass is turning 80 on the 31st of this month, and I thought that was certainly cause for tipping the cap to one of the most famous composers of our time,” said Tom Welsh, Cleveland Museum of Art’s Director of Performing Arts, during a recent telephone conversation. “As a composer, Glass had a real impact on the whole world — not just in classical music, but everything — and I thought that was worth recognizing.” Beginning on Friday, January 27 and continuing through Sunday, CMA and the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque will celebrate Glass’s 80th birthday with a presentation of The Qatsi Trilogy: Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi, and Naqoyqatsi ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ by filmmaker Godfrey Reggio with landmark musical scores by Glass. “We decided to organize the weekend in a way that allows people to enjoy them one day at a time — Friday, Saturday, and Sunday — or take in all three during one sitting on Saturday,” Welsh noted. “This is a great opportunity to see them in the theater, on the big screen with a big sound. They are meant to mesmerize, and they do.” A complete schedule is below. Welsh said that it was not easy to figure out the best way for CMA to honor Glass’s birthday, but after searching through the composer’s extensive catalogue of music, the trail quickly led to Koyaanisqatsi. “I think it’s a ​ ​ masterpiece. I try to use that word sparingly, but the marriage of Glass’s music with Reggio’s film does make it a masterpiece.

  • GODFREY REGGIO (Director, Koyaanisqatsi) Is a Pioneer of a Film Form That Creates Poetic Images of Extraordinary Emotive Impact
    GODFREY REGGIO (Director, Koyaanisqatsi) is a pioneer of a film form that creates poetic images of extraordinary emotive impact. Reggio is best known for the Qatsi Trilogy – essays of image and music, speechless narrations which question the world in which we live. Born in New Orleans in 1940, Reggio entered the Christian Brothers, a Roman Catholic Pontifical Order, at age 14 and remained as a monk until 1968. In 1963, he co-founded Young Citizens for Action, a community organization of juvenile street gangs. Reggio co-founded La Clinica de la Gente and La Gente, a community organizing project in Northern New Mexico’s barrios. In 1972, he co- founded the Institute for Regional Education in Santa Fe, a nonprofit organization focused on media, the arts, community organization and research. In collaboration with the New Mexico Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, Reggio co- organized a multimedia public interest campaign on the invasion of privacy and the use of technology to control behavior. Reggio’s collaboration on Koyaanisqatsi with Ron Fricke (Director of Photography) and Philip Glass (Composer) gained an international audience, critical acclaim and launched the Qatsi Trilogy. Koyaanisqatsi has been played live over 200 times in venues worldwide. Reggio’s collaborations with Philip Glass, include: Koyaanisqatsi (1982), Powaqqatsi (1988), Naqoyqatsi (2002), Anima Mundi (1992), Evidence (1995) and Visitors (2013). In 1993, Reggio was invited by Luciano Benetton and Oliviero Toscani to develop a new school “to smell the future” – an enterprise of exploration and production in the arts, technology and mass media. Called Fabrica – Futuro Presente, it opened in the middle of the ‘90s in Treviso, Italy.

  • Vicky Cristina Barcelona: Fotos Y Pasión En La Ciudad Condal
    VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA: FOTOS Y PASIÓN EN LA CIUDAD CONDAL Por ALBERT ELDUQUE Título original: Vicky Cristina Barcelona Producción: Mediapro (USA-España, 2008). Productores: Letty Aronson, Stephen Tenenbaum, Gareth Wiley y Jaume Roures. Director: Woody Allen. Guión: Woody Allen. Fotografía: Javier Aguirresarobe. Diseño de producción: Alain Bainée. Montaje: Alisa Lepselter. Intérpretes: Rebecca Hall (Vicky), Scarlett Johansson (Cristina), Javier Bardem (Juan Antonio), Penélope Cruz (María Elena), Chris Messina (Doug) Color - 96 minutos - Estreno en España: 19-IX-2008. Galardonado con un Oscar de la Academia de Hollywood recientemente y gozando de una gran popularidad, la situación actual de Javier Bardem es interesante. Entre las producciones estadounidenses y las españolas, entre No Country For Old Men y Mar Adentro, últimamente trabaja precisamente en los híbridos entre lo internacional y las raíces, participando en producciones de directores extranjeros en España, ya sean Los fantasmas de Goya, de Milos Forman, o Biutiful, el proyecto de Alejandro González Iñárritu situado en el Raval barcelonés. Obviamente, la última película de Woody Allen, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, se inscribe en esta línea de conjunción internacional, y lo hace también con Penélope Cruz, otra actriz situada entre los proyectos americanos y las películas españolas. Cabe preguntarse por qué en una película dedicada desde el título a Barcelona los dos únicos personajes españoles relevantes son estrellas internacionales, y por qué los actores locales que han participado en el filme han sido apartados hacia roles muy secundarios (Josep Maria Domènech, como el padre del personaje de Bardem) o directamente anecdóticos (Abel Folk, Lloll Bertran, etc.). Hay en Vicky Cristina Barcelona un encuentro cultural en el equipo técnico que no se llega a plasmar en el reparto, basado en intérpretes anglosajones o estrellas latinas ya consolidadas.
