  • Spike Lee: Avant-Garde Filmmaker
    Ayana McNair Avant-Garde Cinema CTCS 518, David James Fall 2004 12.09.04 Spike Lee: Avant-Garde Filmmaker Spike Lee came into mainstream consciousness with 1986’s She’s Gotta Have It. Since then, he has enjoyed a long and illustrious career as a filmmaker, writing, directing, producing, and starring in several very successful pictures that have highlighted some aspect of Black life in America. Films such as Do the Right Thing, School Daze, Jungle Fever, Bamboozled, and Malcolm X have catapulted Spike Lee into international stardom, making him one of the most, if not the most, notorious Black filmmakers of today. Arguably, he has reached the status of cultural icon in this country, evidenced by a parody of him on “The Simpsons”; as we know, an appearance on “The Simpsons” is the true sign that you’ve “made it.” Spike Lee’s films typically explore some issue prevalent in the Black community. Spike Lee’s rise to fame can be attributed to his bold and daring manner of dealing with issues previously unexplored in the mainstream. She’s Gotta Have It, his debut feature, explored intraracial dating, female promiscuity, and sexual power relations. ‘88’s School Daze again looked at intraracial relations, this time bringing to light the topic of skin tone and color bias within the Black community (that is, light-skinned Blacks versus dark-skinned) and the deep-seated tensions surrounding this issue. 1991 saw the release of Jungle A. McNair 1 Fever, the film that, arguably, catapulted Wesley Snipes and Samuel L. Jackson to stardom; in Jungle Fever, we got Spike Lee’s take on, this time, interracial dating, between a Black man and a white woman, and the tension surrounding such relationships.

DESCRIPTORS Classroom Techniques; *Critical Viewing; *English Instruction; *Film Study; *Films; High Schools; Instructional Effectiveness; Language Arts; *Reading Strategies; Units of Study IDENTIFIERS *Film Viewing; *Textual Analysis ABSTRACT To believe that students are not using reading and analytical skills when they watch or "read" a movie is to miss the power and complexities of film--and of students' viewing processes. This book encourages teachers to harness students' interest in film to help them engage critically with a range of media, including visual and printed texts. Toward this end, the book provides a practical guide to enabling teachers to ,feel comfortable and confident about using film in new and different ways. It addresses film as a compelling medium in itself by using examples from more than 30 films to explain key terminology and cinematic effects. And it then makes direct links between film and literary study by addressing "reading strategies" (e.g., predicting, responding, questioning, and storyboarding) and key aspects of "textual analysis" (e.g., characterization, point of view, irony, and connections between directorial and authorial choices) .The book concludes with classroom-tested suggestions for putting it all together in teaching units on 11 films ranging from "Elizabeth" to "Crooklyn" to "Smoke Signals." Some other films examined are "E.T.," "Life Is Beautiful," "Rocky," "The Lion King," and "Frankenstein." (Contains 35 figures.

Neo-Brechtian theory has been influential in this regard, as many of Brecht’s theories regarding the epic theatre were incorporated into film theory in the 1970s, just as the field was being formalised as an academic discipline.

Brooklyn, NY/May 22, 2014—From Sunday, June 29 through Thursday, July 10, BAMcinématek and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences present By Any Means Necessary: A Spike Lee Joints Retrospective, a 12-day series spanning three decades and commemorating the 15th anniversary of BAMcinématek, which launched in 1999 with a survey of Lee’s career. The writer-director-actor’s consistently surprising work displays a boundless visual imagination, some of the most fearlessly intelligent discourse on race relations in American cinema, and an ability to infuse independent projects and big-budget blockbusters alike with his edgy, energetic style. From June 27—July 27, the Academy will also present a west coast retrospective of Lee’s work at the Academy’s Linwood Dunn Theater and the Bing Theater on the Los Angeles County Museum of Art campus. Kicking off the New York retrospective and closing BAMcinemaFest on June 29 is a 25th anniversary celebration of Lee’s Oscar®-nominated Do the Right Thing. The streets of Bed-Stuy boil in Lee’s tale of tensions run high on Brooklyn’s hottest day of the year.
