Francesco Giai Via Elena Pollacchi These incredible results confirm that our wish to contribute to the completion of films in allowing Michel Reilhac Liz Rosenthal producers to meet financiers, funds, co-producers and post-production companies in a very special Jane Williams environment meets a real and increasing demand in the film industry. Within the context of the 73rd Venice International Film Festival, an important new project entitled Venice Production Bridge has been introduced to ensure continuity, but also to surpass and fine-tune the Venice Film Market first held in 2012. The image of the bridge expresses perfectly well the philosophy of this new Venetian market. The idea consists in building an opportunity of encountering and networking for all the professionals involved in production. The new Venice Production Bridge is established to foster the development and production of international and European projects across a range of audio-visual forms. This new evolution brings us to develop the Venice Gap Financing Market into on one of the major new trends in contemporary production, which is the co-existence of a diversity of platforms fostered by the digital revolution: TV series, web-series and, above all, the new frontier represented by VR/Virtual Reality, which is currently attracting major investments and the most advanced technological research. Consequently, the Venice Gap Financing Market is proud to present you this year 40 projects in the final stages of development and funding, divided as follows: 25 projects for feature-length fiction films and feature documentaries from around the world, 4 European projects for TV Series, 8 projects for films to be produced as Virtual Reality & Interactive experiences and 3 projects for Web Series. Finally, we are particularly proud of having again the invaluable support of the MEDIA program of the European Union for this 2016 edition and also of having widened the number of eligible countries to the whole world. These projects bring together a great variety of filmmakers, working across a diverse range of forms, contents, budgets and genres and we look forward to welcoming you to three effective and inspiring days in Venice from September 2nd to 4th.

  • Selected Academic Bibliography Career Overviews
    Updated: August 2015 Sally Potter: Selected Academic Bibliography Career Overviews: Books The second, longer annotation for each of these books is quoted from: Lucy BOLTON, “Catherine Fowler, Sally Potter and Sophie Mayer, The Cinema of Sally Potter” [review] Screen 51:3 (2010), pp. 285-289. Please cite any quotation from Bolton’s review appropriately. Catherine FOWLER, Sally Potter (Contemporary Film Directors series). Chicago: University of Illinois, 2009. Fowler’s book offers an extended and detailed reading of Potter’s early performance work and Expanded Cinema events, staking a bold claim for reading the later features through the lens of the Expanded Cinema project, with its emphasis on performativity, liveness, and the deconstruction of classical asymmetric and gendered relations both on-screen and between screen and audience. Fowler offers both a career overview and a sustained close reading of individual films with particular awareness of camera movement, space, and performance as they shape the narrative opportunities that Potter newly imagines for her female characters. “By entitling the section on Potter’s evolution as a ‘Search for a “frame of her own”’, Fowler situates the director firmly in a feminist tradition. For Fowler, Potter’s films explore the tension for women between creativity and company, and Potter’s onscreen observers become ‘surrogate Sallys’ in this regard (p. 25). Fowler describes how Potter’s films engage with theory and criticism, as she deconstructs and troubles the gaze with her ‘ambivalent camera’ (p. 28), the movement of which is ‘designed to make seeing difficult’ (p. 193). For Fowler, Potter’s films have at their heart the desire to free women from the narrative conventions of patriarchal cinema, having an editing style and mise- en-scene that never objectifies or fetishizes women; rather, Fowler argues, Potter’s women are free to explore female friendships and different power relationships, uncoupled, as it were, from narratives that prescribe heterosexual union.

  • Women Directors in 'Global' Art Cinema: Negotiating Feminism And
    Women Directors in ‘Global’ Art Cinema: Negotiating Feminism and Representation Despoina Mantziari PhD Thesis University of East Anglia School of Film, Television and Media Studies March 2014 “This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution.” Women Directors in Global Art Cinema: Negotiating Feminism and Aesthetics The thesis explores the cultural field of global art cinema as a potential space for the inscription of female authorship and feminist issues. Despite their active involvement in filmmaking, traditionally women directors have not been centralised in scholarship on art cinema. Filmmakers such as Germaine Dulac, Agnès Varda and Sally Potter, for instance, have produced significant cinematic oeuvres but due to the field's continuing phallocentricity, they have not enjoyed the critical acclaim of their male peers. Feminist scholarship has focused mainly on the study of Hollywood and although some scholars have foregrounded the work of female filmmakers in non-Hollywood contexts, the relationship between art cinema and women filmmakers has not been adequately explored. The thesis addresses this gap by focusing on art cinema. It argues that art cinema maintains a precarious balance between two contradictory positions; as a route into filmmaking for women directors allowing for political expressivity, with its emphasis on artistic freedom which creates a space for non-dominant and potentially subversive representations and themes, and as another hostile universe given its more elitist and auteurist orientation.

  • Flocking a FILM by BEATA GÅRDELER It’S a Small Swedish Community, Idyllic on the Surface
    flocking A FILM BY BEATA GÅRDELER It’s a small Swedish community, idyllic on the surface. synopsisBut when 14 year old Jennifer claims to have been raped by classmate Alexander, everything changes. The rumour rapidly spreads throughout the community, and more and more people are convinced that Jennifer is lying. This is the beginning of a stirred up lynch chase in which an entire village turns against a young girl and her family. In this brutal collective, evidence and decisions of court mean nothing and grown up people start laying down their own rules and laws. There is no such thing as going too far. The only thing that matters is sticking with the flock. director’s vision I grew up in a small community in northern Sweden Sweden, to have the right dialect and personal experien- where the social behavior and unwritten laws are very ce of growing up in a small village.
