  • CELEBRATING FORTY YEARS of FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT 39 Years, 2 Months, and Counting…
    5 JAN 18 1 FEB 18 1 | 5 JAN 18 - 1 FEB 18 88 LOTHIAN ROAD | FILMHOUSECinema.COM CELEBRATING FORTY YEARS OF FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT 39 Years, 2 Months, and counting… As you’ll spot deep within this programme (and hinted at on the front cover) January 2018 sees the start of a series of films that lead up to celebrations in October marking the 40th birthday of Filmhouse as a public cinema on Lothian Road. We’ve chosen to screen a film from every year we’ve been bringing the very best cinema to the good people of Edinburgh, and while it is tremendous fun looking back through the history of what has shown here, it was quite an undertaking going through all the old programmes and choosing what to show, and a bit of a personal journey for me as one who started coming here as a customer in the mid-80s (I know, I must have started very young...). At that time, I’d no idea that Filmhouse had only been in existence for less than 10 years – it seemed like such an established, essential institution and impossible to imagine it not existing in a city such as Edinburgh. My only hope is that the cinema is as important today as I felt it was then, and that the giants on whose shoulders we currently stand feel we’re worthy of their legacy. I hope you can join us for at least some of the screenings on this trip down memory lane... And now, back to the now.

  • Sight & Sound Films of 2007
    Sight & Sound Films of 2007 Each year we ask a selection of our contributors - reviewers and critics from around the world - for their five films of the year. It's a very loosely policed subjective selection, based on films the writer has seen and enjoyed that year, and we don't deny them the choice of films that haven't yet reached the UK. And we don't give them much time to ponder, either - just about a week. So below you'll find the familiar and the obscure, the new and the old. From this we put together the top ten you see here. What distinguishes this particular list is that it's been drawn up from one of the best years for all-round quality I can remember. 2007 has seen some extraordinary films. So all of the films in the ten are must-sees and so are many more. Enjoy. - Nick James, Editor. 1 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (Cristian Mungiu) 2 Inland Empire (David Lynch) 3 Zodiac (David Fincher) = 4 I’m Not There (Todd Haynes) The Lives of Others (Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck) 6 Silent Light (Carlos Reygadas) = 7 The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (Andrew Dominik) Syndromes and a Century (Apichatpong Weerasethakul) No Country for Old Men (Ethan and Joel Coen) Eastern Promises (David Cronenberg) 1 Table of Contents – alphabetical by critic Gilbert Adair (Critic and author, UK)............................................................................................4 Kaleem Aftab (Critic, The Independent, UK)...............................................................................4 Geoff Andrew (Critic

  • NUOVO CINEMA Rumenoper
    NUOVO CINEMA RUMENO 2 febbraio - 4 marzo 2009 Da qualche anno il cinema rumeno ottiene prestigiosi riconoscimenti nei maggiori festival internazionali. Sicuramente è improprio parlare di una “Nouvelle vague” che da Bucarest fa sentire la sua voce e attira l’attenzione del mondo intero, anche perché prima non esisteva nessuna “Vieille vague”, ma c’erano solo degli autori isolati, il più importante dei quali è stato sicuramente Lucian Pintilie, regista maledetto messo all’indice dal regime di Ceausescu. Ma è vero che, in questo primo scorcio del nuovo millennio, dalla Romania ci sono giunti diversi film indipendenti di alto valore, che hanno contribuito alla riflessione sul periodo buio della dittatura e sulla fragile democrazia post-rivoluzionaria. I quattro film che presentiamo vogliono essere un assaggio e una testimonianza di questa innegabile realtà. 1 PROGRAMMA Circolo del cinema Bellinzona Cinema Forum 1+2 mar 3 febbraio, 20.30 COME HO VISSUTO LA FINE DEL MONDO Cum mi-am petrecut sfirsitul lumii di Catalin Mitulescu, Romania 2006 sab 7 febbraio, 18.00 4 MESI, 3 SETTIMANE E 2 GIORNI 4 luni, 3 saptamani si 2 zile di Cristian Mungiu, Romania 2007 mar 10 febbraio, 20.30 LA MORTE DEL SIGNOR LAZARESCU Moartea Domnului Lazarescu di Cristi Puiu, Romania 2005 sab 17 febbraio, 18.00 RYNA di Ruxandra Zenide, Svizzera/Romania 2005 2 Circolo del cinema Locarno Cinema Morettina lun 2 febbraio, 20.30 COME HO VISSUTO LA FINE DEL MONDO Cum mi-am petrecut sfirsitul lumii di Catalin Mitulescu, Romania 2006 ven 6 febbraio, 20.30 4 MESI, 3 SETTIMANE E

  • Critical Study on History of International Cinema
    Critical Study on History of International Cinema *Dr. B. P. Mahesh Chandra Guru Professor, Department of Studies in Communication and Journalism, University of Mysore, Manasagangotri Karnataka India ** Dr.M.S.Sapna ***M.Prabhudevand **** Mr.M.Dileep Kumar India ABSTRACT The history of film began in the 1820s when the British Royal Society of Surgeons made pioneering efforts. In 1878 Edward Muybridge, an American photographer, did make a series of photographs of a running horse by using a series of cameras with glass plate film and fast exposure. By 1893, Thomas A. Edison‟s assistant, W.K.L.Dickson, developed a camera that made short 35mm films.In 1894, the Limiere brothers developed a device that not only took motion pictures but projected them as well in France. The first use of animation in movies was in 1899, with the production of the short film. The use of different camera speeds also appeared around 1900 in the films of Robert W. Paul and Hepworth.The technique of single frame animation was further developed in 1907 by Edwin S. Porter in the Teddy Bears. D.W. Griffith had the highest standing among American directors in the industry because of creative ventures. The years of the First World War were a complex transitional period for the film industry. By the 1920s, the United States had emerged as a prominent film making country. By the middle of the 19th century a variety of peephole toys and coin machines such as Zoetrope and Mutoscope appeared in arcade parlors throughout United States and Europe. By 1930, the film industry considerably improved its technical resources for reproducing sound.

  • The Philadelphia Inquirer
    The Philadelphia Inquirer September 10, 2009 “From Toronto to glory” The 34th International Film Festival, starting today, is where Oscar-eager flicks debut - among them, a searing doc about the Barnes Foundation. By Steven Rea Inquirer Movie Columnist and Critic Starting tonight with the world premiere of Creation, a movie about naturalist Charles Darwin starring Paul Bettany, and closing a week from Saturday with Young Victoria, with Emily Blunt as Britain's mighty monarch, the 34th Toronto International Film Festival promises 271 features and more than 500 filmmakers and red-carpet-treading stars. (Most of the 271 films are not about historic 19th-century Englishfolk.) An epic collision of studio releases with Oscar ambitions, of titles from Europe and Asia, Africa and the Americas, Down Under and Up There (Iceland, Scandinavia), TIFF09 boasts the latest from Pedro Almodóvar (Broken Embraces, with Penélope Cruz), the Coen brothers (A Serious Man), and documentarian Michael Moore (Capitalism: A Love Story). George Clooney will be there to talk up Up in the Air, and Megan Fox will pose provocatively as she unveils her hip horror exercise Jennifer's Body (scripted by Juno's Diablo Cody). Of particular interest to Philadelphia-area residents, and art lovers the world over, is Don Argott's The Art of the Steal, a conspiracy theory- documentary about the Barnes collection and its controversial move from Merion to a new site on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Although the film will have its world premiere Saturday at North America's biggest and most prestigious festival, The Art of the Steal was screened for a handful of critics in New York last week.

  • Investing in Creativity: 25 Years of MEDIA Programme Celebrated at Cannes Film Festival Brussels, 13 May 2016
    European Commission - Press release Investing in creativity: 25 years of MEDIA programme celebrated at Cannes Film Festival Brussels, 13 May 2016 Video clip on MEDIA-funded movies This year's Cannes Film Festival is a great occasion to celebrate the 25th anniversary of MEDIA, the EU's support programme for the European audiovisual industry. MEDIA-funded films once again feature very strongly in the selection: 10* of the 21 films in competition for the Palme d'Or this year have been supported by MEDIA, including films by Ken Loach, Pedro Almodóvar, Cristian Mungiu and the Dardenne brothers. In the last 25 years, 40 MEDIA-funded films have been awarded the Palme d'Or, the Grand Prix or the Best Director Award (see factsheet). Both European Commission Vice-President Ansip and Commissioner Oettinger will be at the Cannes Film Festival this year to discuss the achievements of MEDI A and how the EU can further strengthen the audiovisual sector, which employs over 1.3 million people in the EU, under its strategy to create a Digital Single Market. Andrus Ansip, Vice-President for the Digital Single Market, said: "The MEDIA programme has played an essential role to help European films reach new audiences across borders. We need to build on this success and foster the circulation of content in Europe with the right EU framework. Digital developments bring opportunities and challenges for the audiovisual sector. We need to find solutions together to boost the legal offer online and fight piracy. I am really looking forward to discussions with filmmakers in Cannes." Günther H.

It looks at how the idea of Eastern Europe and its cinema has been shaped vis-à-vis the West, and redefined after the collapse of communism. Contrary to the received wisdom that a new paradigm emerged in 1989, this chapter argues that it is only since 2000 that Eastern European cinema has enjoyed recognition after the near collapse of its film industries in the 1990s. In the three case studies of the Hungarian filmmaker Béla Tarr, Eastern European female directors and the Romanian New Wave, the chapter analyses the emergence in Eastern Europe of a new complex model of film production aligned with its larger European counterpart.

    September 19, 2019 COLCOA French Film Festival Monday, September 23 – Saturday, September 28 DGA in Hollywood $$ This film festival showcases the latest work from France. It only looks like it the Coca Cola Film Festival if you read it too fast. September 3, 2019 Critic's Picks: A September To-Do List for Film Buffs in L.A Alain Delon in 'Purple Moon' (1960) A classic lesbian drama, French noirs starring Alain Delon and Jean Gabin and a series of matinees devoted to Katharine Hepburn are among the plentiful vintage and classic options for SoCal film buffs this month. OLIVIA AT THE LAEMMLE ROYAL | 11523 Santa Monica Blvd. Already underway and screening daily through Sept. 5 at the Laemmle Royal is a new digital restoration of Jacqueline Audry’s trailblazing 1951 feature Olivia, one of the first films, French or otherwise, to deal with female homosexuality. Set in a 19th-century Parisian finishing school for girls, the film depicts the struggle between two head mistresses (Edwige Feuillere and Simone Simon) for the affection of their students, and how one girl’s (Marie-Claire Olivia) romantic urges stir jealousy in the house. Audry, one of the key female filmmakers of post-World War II France, stages this feverish chamber drama (based on a novel by the English writer Dorothy Bussy) with a delicate yet incisive touch, allowing the story’s implicit sensuality to simmer ominously without boiling over into undue hysterics. Lesbian dramas would soon become more explicit, but few have matched Olivia’s unique combination of elegance and eroticism.
