Whether Haneke or Hitchcock, Bigelow or Bergmann, Capra or the Coen Brothers, each volume, composed of 25 or more newly commissioned essays written by leading experts, explores a canonical, contemporary, and/or contro- versial auteur in a sophisticated, authoritative, and multi‐dimensional capacity. Individual volumes interrogate any number of subjects – the director’s oeuvre; dominant themes; well‐known, worthy, and under‐rated films; stars, collaborators, and key influences; reception, reputation, and above all, the director’s intellectual currency in the scholarly world.

    FASSBINDER III. Évf. 2. szám Nyár FILMSZEM III./2. Rainer Werner Fassbinder FILMSZEM - filmelméleti és filmtörténeti online folyóirat III. évfolyam 2. szám - NYÁR (Online: 2013. JÚNIUS 30.) Főszerkesztő: Farkas György Szerkesztőbizottság tagjai: Murai Gábor, Kornis Anna Felelős kiadó: Farkas György Szerkesztőség elérhetősége: [email protected] ISSN 2062-9745 Tartalomjegyzék Bevezető 4 Bács Ildikó: A néma szereplő, avagy úr és szolga viszonya 5-14 Turnacker Katalin: A tükörjáték struktúrája - Berlin Alexanderplatz 15-32 Farkas György: Párhuzamos világok utazói - R. W. Fassbinder és Masumura Yasuzō filmjeinek összehasonlító vizsgálata 33-45 Rainer Werner Fassbinder filmográfia - összeállította Farkas György 46-91 Bevezető Bevezető Bár R. W. Fassbinder már több mint 30 éve elhunyt, a német új film és egyben az egyetemes filmművészet e kivételesen termékeny és különleges alkotójá- ról magyarul meglehetősen kevés elméleti munka látott napvilágot. Életmű- vének sokszínűségét még számos területen és számos megközelítési módon lehetne és kellene tárgyalni. Mostani lapszámunk ezt a hiányt igyekszik némileg csökkenteni azzal, hogy Fassbinder munkásságáról, hatásáról, filmtörténeti helyéről szóló értel- mező anyagokat válogattunk össze. Bács Ildikó tanulmányában a néma szereplő felhasználásának szempontjait elemzi összehasonlítva Fassbinder Petra von Kant keserű könnyei című filmjét Beckett Godot-ra várva című drámájával. Turnacker Katalin a fassbinder-i életmű egy nagyon hangsúlyos darabját, az Alfred Döblin regényéből, a Berlin, Alexanderplatz-ból készült tv-sorozatot elemzi, mint a tükörjáték struktúrája. Sajátos megközelítést mutat be Farkas György írása, amelyben Fassbinder há- rom kiválasztott filmjét állítja párhuzamba egy japán filmrendező, Masumura Yasuzō három alkotásával, kiemelve azokat az alapvető közös gondolatokat, amik nem csak a két rendező között teremtenek kapcsolatot, de alátámaszt- ják mindkettejük zsenialitását is.

In exploring issues of class, gender, nation, and conflict by means of close analysis, the course seeks to sensitize students to the cultural context of these films and the changing socio-political and historical climates in which they arose. Special attention will be paid to the issue of film style. We will also reflect on what constitutes the “canon” when discussing films, especially those of recent vintage. Directors include Robert Wiene, F.W. Murnau, Fritz Lang, Lotte Reiniger, Leni Riefenstahl, Alexander Kluge, Volker Schlöndorff, Werner Herzog, Wim Wenders, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Andreas Dresen, Christian Petzold, Jessica Hausner, Michael Haneke, Angela Schanelec, Barbara Albert.

  • “Rainer Werner Fassbinder: a Retrospective”
    PRESS RELEASE WHAT: Werner Fassbinder Retrospective WHEN: March 10 to April 22, 2018 WHERE: Ili Likha Artists Village in Baguio and Cinematheque Centre Manila “Rainer Werner Fassbinder: A Retrospective” IN PARTNERSHIP WITH: This summer, the Goethe-Institut Philippinen presents some of the best works of the well-acclaimed German filmmaker, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, in a retrospective exhibition that's free for all. Eleven Fassbinder films including a documentary about him will be screened for free every weekends from March 10 to April 1 at the Ili Likha Artists Village in Baguio and April 7 to April 22 at the Cinematheque Centre Manila. On the opening day at Ili Likha Artists Village this March 10, a small reception will be held at 4pm before the first screening. Rainer Werner Fassbinder (1945–82) is one of the most polarizing and influential figures of the New German Cinema. He is famously known for his short-lived yet exceptional and remarkable career that lasted for nearly 16 years until his death in 1982. Fassbinder's artistic productivity resulted in a legacy of 39 films, 6 TV movies, 3 shorts, 4 video productions, 24 stage plays, and 4 radio plays. On top of that, he was also an actor, dramatist, cameraman, composer, designer, editor, producer, and theatre manager for some of his films and productions, yet he managed to combine all of it into a comprehensive, always expanding, retrospective, and progressive unity. Fassbinder's films encompasses everything from intense social melodramas, Hollywood inspired female-driven tearjerkers, epic period pieces, to dystopic science fiction as well.
