  • Samuel Fuller: Se Você Morrer, Eu Te Mato!, Retrospectiva Sobre a Obra De Um Dos Realizadores Mais Influentes Da História Do Cinema
    Ministério da Cultura apresenta Banco do Brasil apresenta e patrocina Idealização Julio Bezerra e Ruy Gardnier Organização editorial Ruy Gardnier Produção Gráfico-editorial José de Aguiar e Marina Pessanha Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil 1ª edição/2013 O Ministério da Cultura e o Banco do Brasil apresentam Samuel Fuller: Se você morrer, eu te mato!, retrospectiva sobre a obra de um dos realizadores mais influentes da história do cinema. Samuel Fuller foi jornalista, escritor e soldado antes de fazer cinema. Como roteirista e cineasta, subverteu padrões com personagens deslocados e anarquistas, e ficou conhecido como o “poeta dos tablóides”. Escrevia, produzia e dirigia filmes urgentes, marcados por situações dramáticas limítrofes, que travavam um embate franco com a sociedade americana pós Segunda Guerra Mundial. A programação conta com mais de 20 longas dirigidos pelo cineasta, com títulos que abarcam suas fases e obsessões temáticas e estilísticas, além de um debate para aprofundar o conhecimento do trabalho desse cineasta incensado pela crítica francesa como um dos autores máximos da sétima arte, cultuado por diretores como Jim Jarmusch e Martin Scorsese, e homenageado por Jean-Luc Godard, Wim Wenders e Steven Spielberg. Com esta retrospectiva, o Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil, mais uma vez, oferece ao público a oportunidade de conhecer melhor um artista importante dentro da história do cinema e contribui para a formação de um público com melhor entendimento desta. Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil 5 O mais perigoso de todos Zack, veterano sargento do exército americano, perde a paciên- cia depois que um menino sul-coreano que o acompanhava é morto tam em códigos pré-estabelecidos e estão dispostos a pagar altos por um franco-atirador, e atira à queima-roupa em um desarmado preços por isso.

  • La Leyenda De MOVIELAND; Historia Del Cine En El Estado De Durango
    La Leyenda de MOVIELAND; Historia del Cine en el Estado de Durango (1897 - 2004) Antonio Avitia Hernández México, 2005 Introducción De manera casi tan fortuita y tan veleidosa como los criterios y las posibilidades económicas de las compañías cinematográficas, de los productores y de los directores de cine, algunos paisajes naturales del estado de Durango han sido seleccionados como escenario del rodaje de diversas películas. Hasta donde se ha podido investigar, entre los años de 1897 a 2004, se han filmado un total de doscientos setenta y ocho (278) cintas en la entidad. De éstas, treinta (30) son de la época del cine silente, producidas entre 1897 y 1936. Noventa y ocho (98) son de formato de ocho, super ocho y dieciséis milímetros, independientes, así como filmes documentales científicos, antropológicos y culturales, entre otros. Con respecto al cine industrial, ciento cincuenta (150) han sido los filmes rodados en territorio durangueño entre los años de 1954 a 2004. Los objetivos principales de esta historia del cine en Durango son: hacer el recuento cuantitativo y cronológico, la ubicación histórica, la reseña de las sinopsis argumentales, las fichas filmográficas y la relación de los personajes y locaciones sobresalientes de las películas rodadas en la entidad, así como describir la impresión que, en el imaginario colectivo regional, ha tenido el cinematógrafo, en tanto séptimo arte e industria cinematográfica. De manera colateral, hasta donde ha sido posible, se hace referencia a la suerte de los filmes en lo que respecta a su distribución. En el primer capítulo El cine silente en Durango se hace el recuento, sinopsis argumental, situación histórica y establecimiento de los treinta filmes del periodo silente rodados en la entidad, desde el arribo de los enviados de Edison en 1897 hasta la cinta documental de propaganda política laudatoria, grabada por encargo del gobernador del estado coronel Enrique R.

  • The John Ford Collection
    The John Ford Collection The John Ford collection of manuscripts at the Lilly Library offers a view of Ford's entire motion picture career, from the silent era to his last movie in 1966. The material in this collection was acquired from Ford's children and grandson after his death . It was used extensively, but not exhaustively, by Ford's grandson Dan Ford in writing his biography Pappy: The Life of John Ford and includes much of the research material accumulated by Dan Ford for his book. The collection covers the years from 1906 to 1976 and contains approximately seven thousand items, of which twenty-five hundred are correspondence. John Ford was born Sean Aloysius Feeney in Portland, Maine, in 1895. He changed his name after joining his older brother Fran­ cis, who had taken the name of Ford, in Hollywood in 1913. He began his career as a prop man, stunt man, and actor, moving to directing in 1917 with a two-reeler entitled The Tornado. He spent the rest of his life directing films, through the transition from silents to sound, making over 130 in all and winning six Academy Awards. From 1917 until 1930 Ford directed at least 66 films, a great many of which were westerns starring the cowboy actor Harry Carey. Early in his career Ford was most often associated with Universal Studio but by the early twenties he was under contract to the Fox Film Corporation (later the Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation) until after World War II. It was at Fox that he had his first major success, with The Iron Horse in 1924.

  • The Ford, J. Mss., 1906-1976, Consist of the Correspondence, Papers, and Memorabilia of Motion Picture Director John Ford, 1895-1973
    The Ford, J. mss., 1906-1976, consist of the correspondence, papers, and memorabilia of motion picture director John Ford, 1895-1973. Ford was christened Sean Aloysius Feeney but changed his name after joining his older brother Francis, who had taken the name Ford, in Hollywood in 1913. John Ford began his motion picture career as an actor, stunt man, and prop man. In 1917 he became a director on the film The Tornado and directed over 130 films during his lifetime. Ford married Mary McBryde Smith in 1920 and they had two children: Patrick Roper born in 1921 and Barbara Nugent born in 1922. Ford's first great success, The Iron Horse in 1924, came after directing about fifty other films, chiefly Westerns. From 1927 to 1939 Ford directed more than thirty films, only one of which was a Western. He won his first Academy Award during this period for The Informer (1935), a film about the 1922 Irish rebellion. His next Academy Awards were for The Grapes of Wrath (1940) and How Green Was My Valley (1941). Two documentaries that he directed during World War II, The Battle of Midway and December 7th, also received Oscars. His last Academy Award was for another of his Irish films The Quiet Man (1952). An enthusiastic member of the Naval Reserve, Ford formed the Naval Field Photographic Reserve in early 1940. This unit was assigned to the Office of Strategic Services and Ford was ordered to report to Washington on September 11, 1941, just after completing How Green Was My Valley. He spent the war years doing documentary work in the Pacific, North Africa, Europe and India.
