The Horror Film Series
Ihe Museum of Modern Art No. 11 jest 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Circle 5-8900 Cable: Modernart Saturday, February 6, I965 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Museum of Modern Art Film Library will present THE HORROR FILM, a series of 20 films, from February 7 through April, 18. Selected by Arthur L. Mayer, the series is planned as a representative sampling, not a comprehensive survey, of the horror genre. The pictures range from the early German fantasies and legends, THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI (I9I9), NOSFERATU (1922), to the recent Roger Corman-Vincent Price British series of adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe, represented here by THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH (I96IO. Milestones of American horror films, the Universal series in the 1950s, include THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (1925), FRANKENSTEIN (1951), his BRIDE (l$55), his SON (1929), and THE MUMMY (1953). The resurgence of the horror film in the 1940s, as seen in a series produced by Val Lewton at RR0, is represented by THE CAT PEOPLE (19^), THE CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE (19^4), I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE (19*£), and THE BODY SNAT0HER (19^5). Richard Griffith, Director of the Film Library, and Mr. Mayer, in their book, The Movies, state that "In true horror films, the archcriminal becomes the archfiend the first and greatest of whom was undoubtedly Lon Chaney. ...The year Lon Chaney died [1951], his director, Tod Browning,filmed DRACULA and therewith launched the full vogue of horror films. What made DRACULA a turning-point was that it did not attempt to explain away its tale of vampirism and supernatural horrors.

2/6/2020 Silvia Kolbowski, That Monster: An Allegory - The White Review 3 / 6 C O N T R I B U T O R : SILVIA KOLBOWSKI, THAT MONSTER: AN S A S H A A R C H I B A L D ALLEGORY The conceptual artist Silvia Kolbowski began working on her new video, T H A T O N L I N E E XC L U S I V E M O N S T E R : A N A L L E G O R Y (2018), in the immediate aftermath of Trump’s election. J A N U A R Y 2 0 2 0 The air of American life was thick with animosity, and like soot from a forest fire, it spread far beyond the burn. Both sides of the political spectrum were consumed, in Kolbowski’s words, with S H A R E such ‘sheer hatred’ that political disagreement became grounds to start a brawl or end a relationship. Grandmothers famously unfriended their grandchildren and in-laws refused to visit. Opting out of family holiday gatherings became not only common, but almost obligatory, if one’s family included resolute Trumpers. In November 2018, the liberal Democrat N E W Y O R K T I M E S columnist Maureen Dowd wrote an op-ed anticipating an upcoming vacation with her brother, who was not only a Trump supporter, but a friend and defender of Brett Kavanaugh, the Republican Supreme Court justice accused of sexual assault. Dowd used the article to reflect on how (and whether) a relationship can persist across a sea of political difference.

English 2333: an Abbreviated Frankenstein Filmography Dr
English 2333: An Abbreviated Frankenstein Filmography Dr. Monica Smith [Before this class meeting, students watch the Edison Frankenstein for homework and answer three questions, and we begin class by reviewing these questions: 1) What version of the Creature does this film present: the Creature as monster, the creature as human, or something in between? 2) What aspects of Shelley’s story (characterization, plot detail, setting, imagery) have the filmmakers kept? What has been deleted? To what effect? 3) What role does music play in this film?] Frankenstein (usually called The 1910 Edison Frankenstein) Director J. Searle Dawley. Starring Charles Ogle. Edison, 1910. Silent film. Approximately 13 minutes. This is the earliest known film version of Frankenstein. Regrettably, the only surviving copy was held by a private collector who refused to let film students and scholars study or even view it. Now the film fortunately has passed into the public domain and is available via Google video. Frankenstein Director James Whale. Starring Boris Karloff, Colin Clive, and Mae Clarke. Produced by Carl Laemmle, Jr. Adaptation by Robert Florey and John L. Balderston. Screenplay by Garrett Fort, Robert Florey, and Francis Edward Faragoh. Based on the play by Peggy Webling. Universal, 1931. 71 minutes. This version makes substantive changes to both plot and character, renaming our protagonist, for one example, “Dr. Henry Frankenstein,” and calling his friend “Victor.” This film gives us many of the stock elements of the twentieth-century Frankenstein myth: the mad scientist in a castle on a mountaintop who cries “It’s alive! It’s alive!” when his reanimation is successful, the scientist’s hunchbacked assistant, and the robot-like, inarticulate creature with bolts in his neck.

Frankenstein (1931) Director: James Whale
Frankenstein (1931) Director: James Whale Grave-robbing scene occurs near the Bavarian mountain village of Goldstadt, Transylvania. Crouched in the background from behind the cemetery fence, medical scientist Dr. Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive) and his hunchbacked assistant Fritz (Dwight Frye) eagerly watch the proceedings. Frankenstein: "He's just resting - waiting for a new life to come." Fritz reluctantly climbs up a post and cuts down an executed criminal hanging from a gallows' rope. "The neck's broken; the brain is useless. We must find another brain," laments Frankenstein. Needing only a brain, Dr. Frankenstein sends his dwarfish assistant to his old, nearby medical school (Goldstadt Medical College) to steal one. College Professor Waldman (Edward van Sloan), in front of floodlights, teaches about the differences between a normal brain ("one of the most perfect specimens of the human brain") and the degenerate murderer's brain ("the abnormal brain of the typical criminal"). The Professor delineates the degenerative characteristics of the criminal brain - "the scarcity of convolutions on the frontal lobe...and the distinct degeneration of the middle frontal lobe." Fritz has an accident and takes the second choice. Dr. Frankenstein’s history at the University. Dr. Henry Frankenstein’s creation is revealed. “This storm will be magnificent. All the electrical secrets of Heaven. And this time we're ready, eh Fritz?” From under the blanket covering the corpse, a blackened, scarred arm protrudes outward. Henry calms Fritz's jittery nerves as he caresses the arm of the inanimate corpse: “There's nothing to fear. Look. No blood, no decay. Just a few stitches.

Bride of Frankenstein
Frankenstein and The Bride of Frankenstein Richard T. Jameson “The A List: The National Society of Film Critics 100 Essential Films, ” 2002 Reprinted by permission of the author In 1931, the director Robert Florey lived in a Los Ange- les apartment with a view of a Dutch-style bakery and its logo, a windmill complete with turning vanes. Flo- rey had just been assigned by Carl Laemmle Jr. to di- rect a production of “Frankenstein” for Universal, and as he mused on a possible look for the film, he found himself considering a windmill as a key location— perhaps the site of the scientist’s secret laboratory. As it happened, it would be James Whale, not Florey, who directed “Frankenstein,” and Henry Frankenstein would set up shop in “an abandoned watchtower.” But that windmill got lodged in the collective brain of the filmmaking team (also in one line of dialogue absent- mindedly retained from an early script draft), and fi- nally made it on screen as an opportunistic but aptly crazed-Gothic setting for the film’s fiery climax. It’s all very well to talk about aesthetically unified mas- terpieces and posit them as the definition of film art. But movies are a messy business, and the irksome (glorious?) truth is that some landmark films have be- Poster from the 1953 re-release of the ‘30s horror classic come utterly indispensable and culturally pervasive Courtesy Library of Congress Prints & Photographs Online Collection despite being created by committee and riddled with imperfections.

An international selection of artworks made for broadcast, the exhibi- tion documents the crossovers and collaborations that take place on this new television, between and among dancers, musicians, play- wrights, actors, authors, poets, and visual and video artists . And it investigates the artists' own investigation of one medium -- be it dance or music or literature -- through another . It examines the transformations video makes and the possibilities it allows . These provocative uses of television time and technology are organized in THE ARTS FOR TELEVISION according to the medium transformed by the electronic image ; the six categories are Dance for Television, Music for Television, Theatre for Television, Literature for Television, The Video Image (works that address video as a visual art, that make reference to the traditional visual arts and to seeing itself), and Not Necessarily Television (works that address the usual content of TV, and transform it) . The ARTS FOR TELEVISION also presents another level of collaboration in artists' television . It documents the involvement of television stations in Europe and America with art and artists' video . It recognizes their commitment and acknowledges the risks they take in allowing artists the opportunity to realize works of art .
