  • See It Big! Action Features More Than 30 Action Movie Favorites on the Big
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ‘SEE IT BIG! ACTION’ FEATURES MORE THAN 30 ACTION MOVIE FAVORITES ON THE BIG SCREEN April 19–July 7, 2019 Astoria, New York, April 16, 2019—Museum of the Moving Image presents See It Big! Action, a major screening series featuring more than 30 action films, from April 19 through July 7, 2019. Programmed by Curator of Film Eric Hynes and Reverse Shot editors Jeff Reichert and Michael Koresky, the series opens with cinematic swashbucklers and continues with movies from around the world featuring white- knuckle chase sequences and thrilling stuntwork. It highlights work from some of the form's greatest practitioners, including John Woo, Michael Mann, Steven Spielberg, Akira Kurosawa, Kathryn Bigelow, Jackie Chan, and much more. As the curators note, “In a sense, all movies are ’action’ movies; cinema is movement and light, after all. Since nearly the very beginning, spectacle and stunt work have been essential parts of the form. There is nothing quite like watching physical feats, pulse-pounding drama, and epic confrontations on a large screen alongside other astonished moviegoers. See It Big! Action offers up some of our favorites of the genre.” In all, 32 films will be shown, many of them in 35mm prints. Among the highlights are two classic Technicolor swashbucklers, Michael Curtiz’s The Adventures of Robin Hood and Jacques Tourneur’s Anne of the Indies (April 20); Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai (April 21); back-to-back screenings of Mad Max: Fury Road and Aliens on Mother’s Day (May 12); all six Mission: Impossible films

The aim of my presentation is to make you aware of different possibilities in reusing archival footage in movies. It is my intention to inform you about the importance of the audiovisual archives and how to reuse transmitted programmes or real shots of life in new productions. It is not my intention to evaluate real shots in historical movies and to report about facts and fiction in those films. The subject is dealt with in the book called: PAST IMPERFECT.

Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels Abstract The fusion of high and low art which characterises Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels is one of the reasons for her global success. This article goes beyond this formulation to explore the sources of Ferrante's narrative: the 'low' sources are considered in the light of Peter Brooks' definition of the melodramatic mode; the 'high' component is identified in the self-reflexive, metafictional strategies of the antinovel tradition.

    A Highly Disreputable Enterprise: Men-on-the-Spot and the Allied Intervention in the Russian Civil War, 1917-1920 Undergraduate Research Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation "with Honors Research Distinction in History" in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by Conrad Allen The Ohio State University May 2016 Project Advisor: Professor Jennifer Siegel, Department of History The First World War ended on November 11, 1918. The guns that had battered away at each other in France and Belgium for four long years finally fell silent at eleven A.M. as the signed armistice went into effect. "There came a second of expectant silence, and then a curious rippling sound, which observers far behind the front likened to the noise of a light wind. It was the sound of men cheering from the Vosges to the sea," recorded South African soldier John Buchan, as victorious Allied troops went wild with celebration. "No sleep all night," wrote Harry Truman, then an artillery officer on the Western Front, "The infantry fired Very pistols, sent up all the flares they could lay their hands on, fired rifles, pistols, whatever else would make noise, all night long."1 They celebrated their victory, and the fact that they had survived the worst war of attrition the world had ever seen. "I've lived through the war!" cheered an airman in the mess hall of ace pilot Eddie Rickenbacker's American fighter squadron. "We won't be shot at any more!"2 But all was not quiet on every front.

  • Metaphysics – Transcendence – Atheism
    "IMAGES" 2021, Vol. XXX, No. 39 METAPHYSICS – TRANSCENDENCE – ATHEISM A product of the nineteenth century, the cinematic arts were born to capture the very material reality present in front of the lens. Erwin Panofsky called this reality “profilmic,” while André Bazin argued that recording the existence of material objects on film fulfilled what he called mankind’s “mummy complex,” the desire to immortalize fleeting entities in the form of images. With time, film outgrew this initial function and began making attempts to depict spiritual realities as well (with films by Carl Theodor Dreyer, Ingmar Bergman, Andrei Tarkovsky, Krzysztof Zanussi, and other artists). First coined by American director and film theorist Paul Schrader to describe the work of Dreyer, Bresson, and Ozu, the phrase “transcendental style” (itself a misnomer, as the term “transcendent style” would be much more fitting here) was soon picked up by fellow authors, who used it to interrogate the transcendent in the work of the three aforementioned directors and other filmmakers (vide: Seweryn Kuśmierczyk’s essay on Tarkovsky and the rich body of literature written on the director). A counterstrain, however, coalesced around neoformalist and cognitivist David Bordwell, who contended that the particular “parametric form,” its style autonomous and autotelic, compelled critics to seek within it a metaphysics that he did not believe could be found in the work of Ozu, Dreyer, or Bresson—a position he elaborated on extensively in his monographs on the work of the former two and essays on films by the latter. Recent Bresson scholarship (vide: Colin Burnett’s monograph) has questioned the validity of this “Schraderian” option even further.
