  • CELEBRATING FORTY YEARS of FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT I Love the August Festivals, Though Not As Much As I Love Cinema
    3 AUG 18 6 SEP 18 1 | 3 AUG 18 - 6 SEP 18 88 LOTHIAN ROAD | FILMHOUSECinema.COM CELEBRATING FORTY YEARS OF FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT I love the August festivals, though not as much as I love cinema. You? I usually take the opportunity when writing this column every August to grumble about how distracted potential cinema-goers appear to be by the world’s largest arts festival that takes place in our glorious (a word which currently also describes the weather!) city every year, but this year I’m seeing it as nothing more than a challenge. A challenge, dear reader, which I feel we have risen to in impressive style with a stunning array of great cinema, much of which is, as it happens, of a ‘one-off’ nature and will likely not come around again any time soon… That sounds like I’m trying to dragoon you into coming to the cinema in August (instead of going to the Tattoo, perhaps?), and conceivably I am, but try not to see it that way… Rather, I simply wouldn’t want you to miss out on any of the must-see cinema experiences contained within these pages. In any case, cinema is surely the best of all the art forms wouldn’t you say, as well as being one of the cheaper days/nights out? Beyond the form itself, with cinema, you rarely have to worry about not liking a film and it being apparent to the people who made it, because they’re generally not there in the room.

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-316-64187-3 — Classical Literature on Screen Martin M. Winkler Frontmatter More Information Classical Literature on Screen Martin M. Winkler argues for a new approach to various creative affinities between ancient verbal and modern visual narratives. He examines screen adaptations of classical epic, tragedy, comedy, myth, and history, exploring, for example, how ancient rhetorical principles regarding the emotions apply to moving images and how Aristotle’s perspective on thrilling plot-turns can recur on screen. He also interprets several popular films, such as 300 and Nero, and analyzes works by international directors, among them Pier Paolo Pasolini (Oedipus Rex, Medea), Jean Cocteau (The Testament of Orpheus), Mai Zetterling (The Girls), Lars von Trier (Medea), Arturo Ripstein (Such Is Life), John Ford (Westerns), Alfred Hitchcock (Psycho), and Spike Lee (Chi-Raq). This book demonstrates the undiminished vitality of classical myth and literature in our visual media, as with screen portrayals of Helen of Troy. It is important for all classicists and for scholars and students of film, literature, and history. martin m. winkler is University Professor and Professor of Classics at George Mason University. His most recent books are Cinema and Classical Texts: Apollo’s New Light (Cambridge, 2009), The Roman Salute: Cinema, History, Ideology (2009), and Arminius the Liberator: Myth and Ideology (2015). He has also published numerous articles, book chapters, and reviews, and edited several essay collections on classical antiquity and film. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-316-64187-3 — Classical Literature on Screen Martin M.

  • The Representation of Suicide in the Cinema
    The Representation of Suicide in the Cinema John Saddington Submitted for the degree of PhD University of York Department of Sociology September 2010 Abstract This study examines representations of suicide in film. Based upon original research cataloguing 350 films it considers the ways in which suicide is portrayed and considers this in relation to gender conventions and cinematic traditions. The thesis is split into two sections, one which considers wider themes relating to suicide and film and a second which considers a number of exemplary films. Part I discusses the wider literature associated with scholarly approaches to the study of both suicide and gender. This is followed by quantitative analysis of the representation of suicide in films, allowing important trends to be identified, especially in relation to gender, changes over time and the method of suicide. In Part II, themes identified within the literature review and the data are explored further in relation to detailed exemplary film analyses. Six films have been chosen: Le Feu Fol/et (1963), Leaving Las Vegas (1995), The Killers (1946 and 1964), The Hustler (1961) and The Virgin Suicides (1999). These films are considered in three chapters which exemplify different ways that suicide is constructed. Chapters 4 and 5 explore the two categories that I have developed to differentiate the reasons why film characters commit suicide. These are Melancholic Suicide, which focuses on a fundamentally "internal" and often iII­ understood motivation, for example depression or long term illness; and Occasioned Suicide, where there is an "external" motivation for which the narrative provides apparently intelligible explanations, for instance where a character is seen to be in danger or to be suffering from feelings of guilt.

  • DRAFT EP210317 Guillermin
    Creativity and Mental Health Disorders with Mary Guillermin Mental Health Advocate Pellin Institute An Empowered Patient Podcast Published April 25, 2021 Karen Jagoda: Welcome to the EmpoweredPatientPodcast.com show. I'm Karen Jagoda. And my guest today is Mary Guillermin. She's an advocate for de-stigmatizing mental health and she's an author of John Guillermin: The Man, The Myth, The Movies. She's also a marriage and family therapist, and director of communications, and Senior Pellin Practitioner at the Pellin Institute International. So I want to welcome you to the show today, Mary, and that's a long way of introducing you. So I think the best idea is to have you tell us a little bit about the Pellin Institute and what that means in your life. Mary Guillermin: Okay. So I first met Peter Fleming, founder and director of the Pellin Institute when I was in my twenties, which was over 40 years ago. And he developed a way of working called contribution training. It's deliberately not called therapy. They use Gestalt therapy for the deeper bit, so the more personal bit. Contribution training is a set of tools about mental health and wellness. And he could see, and I knew that I suffered from extreme mood swings, and in the very first piece of Gestalt work he did with me, he got me straight into my calm. Mary Guillermin: The calm, what we call the pendulum, the tool of the pendulum of emotions. And so I was rather fascinated by this because being calm wasn't an experience I had very often, I was either very up or very down.

Springer PAGES: 66 Adapting graphic novels requires new approaches in the theoretical models currently available to film theorists. Comic book films must be dissected beyond references to character, setting, plot, or story; analysis must consider the choice of plot and story within or outside a preexisting canon, the exclusion or inclusion of thematic elements, and the fidelity of visual narrative. The intertextual variability intensifies when considering comic book films and new methodologies are required for a proper examination of this genre. Using the works of comics scholars (McCloud, Eisner, and Ewert, et al), the studies of film theorists (Andrew, Wager, Ryan, Bordwell, et al) and graphic novels from highly regarded authors and artists (Miller, Moore, et al) new modes of adaptation emerge as specifically designed both for the comic book film and a greater understanding of visual narrative. iii Acknowledgements In the winter of my sophomore year of college I was told by a friend to read Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns.

    protecting and improving the environment Newsletter 158 Sept 2013 Inside: 40 years to celebrate... EDITORIAL The Civic Society is gearing up for its 40th Anniversary celebrations. You will find an invitation to join in on page 19 – please do come along! In this issue, we have compiled a diverse mixture of news, views and reports, along with a fascinating insight into the history of the Civic Society. Karen Attwood - - - - - - - - - - - - A DAY TO REMEMBER The latest blue plaque unveiling was somewhat different from the previous ones. Maybe because this time the daughter of the person being commemorated was the big draw for many local people! After all, it isn't very often that a currently famous Hollywood star, English born, pays a visit to Beeston, accompanied by a host of other film and theatrical notables. Kate Beckinsale came to unveil a blue plaque to her actor father the late Richard Beckinsale, star of Rising Damp and Porridge, among others, on Thursday July 17th at College House Junior School, where he was a former pupil. It was a day that will long be remembered locally, especially by the school staff and children. Judy Loe, Richard's widow, mother of Kate and a well known actress in her own right (and a particular favourite of mine) helped in the unveiling. Looking very attractive and much younger than her sixty odd years, she spoke about Richard, who tragically died at the age of thirty one, and her memories of him and his Beeston family. His sisters Judith 2 and Wendy and their families were also present.
