Mientras tanto, Philomena Lee le confiesa a su hija que, cincuenta años atrás, ella dio a luz a un niño en Irlanda, pero debido a que no estaba casada se vio forzada a darlo en adopción. Poco tiempo después, Martin conoce a la hija de Philomena en una fiesta. Aunque en un principio él desprecia las historias "de interés humano", necesita trabajar y un editor quiere la historia de Philomena. Posteriormente se reúne con ella y juntos comienzan a investigar lo que pasó con su hijo. 1 Federación Internacional de Mujeres Universitarias Federación Mexicana de Universitarias Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Museo de la Mujer Bolivia 17 Centro Histórico, Ciudad de México. Cine-Club de género, 01 de noviembre de 2016 Mtra. Delia Selene de Dios Vallejo♣♥ Philomena narra la historia real de una humilde mujer (Judi Dench) quien ha pasado los últimos 50 años buscando a su hijo que le arrebataron en un convento de monjas en donde fue recluida, por su propia familia, por estar embarazada. Las monjas vendieron el niño a un matrimonio americano y los archivos se perdieron, pero la anciana será capaz de todo para conocer a su hijo. Un cínico y descreído periodista político caído en desgracia (Steve Coogan) se unirá a Philomena en una búsqueda de la verdad que les llevará hasta Estados Unidos. La historia se basa en el libro del periodista Martin Sixsmith, personaje interpretado por Coogan, quien también firma la adaptación al cine. Pero no son los únicos temas que trata Philomena. La película también es una crítica a las prácticas poco éticas de la Iglesia Católica y al fanatismo religioso, sea de la religión que sea; una reflexión sobre las relaciones entre Irlanda y Estados Unidos; una reprimenda a la política estadounidense sobre los gays y el SIDA en los años 80, una reflexión sobre el poder y las clases sociales; y por encima de todo, la historia de dos personajes inolvidables. Dos actores excepcionales Judi Dench (Philomena) Lee no necesita aspavientos ni excesos para conquistarnos con el papel de esta enfermera que lleva toda la vida sufriendo por el hijo que le robaron en su juventud y quien se debate entre su fé (sigue siendo profundamente religiosa) y sus ganas de vivir. Un pequeño gesto, una mirada... es todo lo que necesita para expresar las emociones más intensas. Enfrente tiene a Steve Coogan (también guionista de la historia) el personaje perfecto. La interacción entre ambos engrandece sus interpretaciones y a sus personajes. Ambos forman una de las mejores parejas cinematográficas que recordamos en mucho tiempo. ♣ Catedrática de la Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales-UNAM *Secretaria General de la Unión Nacional de Mujeres Mexicanas Asociación Civil. ♥ Se agradece el apoyo de las licenciadas: Eva Calderón, Eurídice Román de Dios, Adriana Romo Sotres, Pamela Jiménez Romo y Rosalinda Cuéllar Celis. 2 Coogan empieza siendo un prepotente (periodista político, de Oxford y de una clase muy superior) y acaba seducido por la forma de ver la vida de la anciana enfermera quien, pese a su origen humilde y su educación jesuita, le da cien mil vueltas como ser humano. El actor labra su papel por el cual también merecería una nominación al Oscar. Aunque se conformará con haber sido nominado por la adaptación del guion, eso demuestra su implicación en esta historia. También está formidable la joven Sophie Kennedy Clark, quien interpreta a la joven Philomena. Un guion y una dirección soberbios Se debe destacar una vez más el guion, perfectamente equilibrado. Un libreto que maneja como pocos el tiempo narrativo y la relación entre la comedia y el drama. Otro guionista o director habrían convertido esta historia en un dramón. Como hizo Peter Mullan con Las hermanas de la Magdalena, que tiene muchos puntos en común con Philomena. Pero Frears y Coogan no insisten en el drama. Nos develan los acontecimientos terribles para luego, cambiar rápidamente de tema, casi siempre con algún toque de humor. En un equilibrio tan arriesgado como interesante con el cual han conseguido una película emocionante, dramática y divertida a partes iguales. Destacar la naturalidad, fluidez y humor de sus afilados diálogos. Está claro que la película es un proyecto personal de Coogan (protagonista y guionista), pero ha tenido el acierto de contar con uno de los grandes directores de la actualidad, Stephen Frears (Las amistades peligrosas, Los timadores) que realiza uno de sus mejores trabajos. La mano de Frears se nota, y mucho, demostrando que cuando tiene una buena historia entre manos es absolutamente genial, huyendo del sentimentalismo y la frialdad para conseguir una historia profundamente humana. Eso es lo que encontramos en Philomena, una historia muy humana, con numerosos puntos de interés, un guion y una dirección soberbios y una de las mejores parejas protagonistas de los últimos años. Una película que nos recuerda por qué amamos el cine y las buenas historias.1 Philomena está basada en el libro de investigación periodística The Lost Child of Philomena Lee (“El hijo perdido de Philomena Lee”), de Martin Sixsmith, un ex corresponsal de la BBC quien, luego de ser despedido por un malentendido, descubre casi por casualidad esta historia y decide investigar y escribir un libro al respecto, urgido además por su falta de trabajo. Philomena nos presenta primero al periodista Martin Sixsmith, interpretado por Steve Coogan, un hombre deprimido luego de haber sido injustamente despedido, 1 http://www.rtve.es/noticias/20140219/philomena-grandeza-judi-dench-steve-coogan-stephen- frears/882360.shtml 3 él quiere escribir un libro de historia rusa sólo para ocupar su tiempo, a pesar de que sabe que a nadie le interesa este tema. Lo vemos como un hombre algo sarcástico, cínico (no quiere escribir historias de “interés humano” porque son para ignorantes) y descreído, sobre todo de Dios, lo cual será fundamental para el desarrollo de la trama y de la dinámica con Philomena (Judi Dench). Steve Coogan realiza un gran trabajo para darle a Sixsmith este aspecto que reconocemos entre soberbio y despreocupado, pero ahora levemente disimulado y reprimido, en un hombre acostumbrado a tener prestigio y reconocimiento que se ve despojado de todo eso y debe ocuparse de esas historias “para ignorantes”. La película desaprovecha un poco al personaje y, una vez que conocemos estos datos genéricos (periodista, casado, ateo, etc), nunca más profundizamos en él. Su presencia a partir de allí es más bien decorativa, para hacer avanzar la historia y que Philomena pueda hablar con alguien, lo que aporta el principal toque humorístico a la película. Los buenos y los malos Philomena es una mujer irlandesa que en su adolescencia es enviada a un convento para monjas por haber cometido el error de tener sexo -casual- prematrimonial y quedar embarazada. La estricta y férrea comunidad de monjas en las que vivía la obligó a trabajar duramente y a dar a luz sin ninguna clase de calmante para el dolor, como forma de castigo por su pecado. Además, una vez que tuvo su hijo, sólo podía verlo una vez por semana. Posteriormente, cuando su pequeño hijo ya tenía 3 años, una pareja de estadounidenses llegó al convento y se lo llevó. Las monjas daban a los niños en adopción a cambio de dinero. Esta dura historia es contada a través de flashbacks y, si bien tiene algunos momentos muy intensos y dramáticos, al alternar con la historia de Philomena en la actualidad, la película nos evita el exceso de melodrama. Ahora Philomena es una enfermera jubilada, que tiene otra hija a la que le cuenta por primera vez la historia de su hijo perdido 50 años después. Es su hija la que realiza la gestión para que Sixsmith se involucre, cuente la historia y la ayude a encontrarlo. Pero gracias al guión y a la gran interpretación de Judi Dench, vemos a Philomena como una mujer que no ha hecho de esta tragedia el centro de su vida, que no se 4 ha dejado ganar por la tristeza y la resignación, sino que ha apelado a la fe y a su creencia en Dios para salir adelante y seguir con su vida. Es una mujer envuelta en una circunstancia trágica y dolorosa, pero no desesperanzada.

  • John Bull University of Lincoln 'We Cannot All Be Masters, Nor All Masters/Cannot Truly Be Follow'd': Joe Orton's Holida
    John Bull University of Lincoln ‘We cannot all be masters, nor all masters/Cannot truly be follow’d’: Joe Orton’s Holiday Camp Bacchae – matters of class, genre and medium in The Erpingham Camp. Joe Orton is thought of largely as a writer for the theatre, and yet three of his plays first appeared on television: as many as first appeared on stage. In what follows I want to consider just one of these, The Erpingham Camp (1967) and, by looking at the way in which it evolved both before and after its first outing on television, to offer to both reposition this play in the oeuvre and to re-open the debate about what Orton was moving towards theatrically.1 Before considering its development, it will be useful first to reflect on the public perception of the young dramatist at the time he started to work on it. From a distance of some fifty years, and in a very different social and cultural climate, it is extremely hard to fully comprehend the kind of impact that Joe Orton’s plays had when first produced: and, concomitantly, it is just about impossible to understand the degree of hostility that they aroused in many quarters, and yet it is important to do so in order to understand how Orton dealt practically with the implications of this hostility. Nor was it confined to sections of the paying public and to newspaper critics, as reaction to the work that caused the greatest furore at the time, Loot (1964), will demonstrate. Examination of the Lord Chamberlain’s archive reveals that there was considerable internal pressure to refuse to grant it a licence at all: a reader’s report by Kyle Fletcher (8 December 1964) argued that the play 1 Work on this article has been greatly aided by research in the following archives: ‘Joe Orton Collection’, University of Leicester; ‘’Lord Chancellor’s Papers’ and ‘Peter Gill Archive’, British Library; ‘Lyndsay Anderson Archive’, University of Stirling; the British Film Institute archive.

  • 1 Sticky Stories: Joe Orton, Queer History, Queer Dramaturgy
    Sticky Stories: Joe Orton, Queer History, Queer Dramaturgy. Stephen Farrier Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London. Joe Orton, commonly thought of as a playwright of risqué farces in the 1960s, was a very present figure for a while in the gay community in the UK in the late 1980s and early 1990s (perhaps because his biography was published late in the 1970s, his diaries in 1986 and a film based on the diaries released 1987). His presence in 1980s and 1990s gay culture was in part because he met a death worthy of column inches and, importantly, he stood as emblematic of a past homosexual who refused to curb his sexuality whilst living in a conservative social context. In England and Wales, homosexuality was not criminalised in the 1980s and 1990s as it had been in the 1950s and 1960s, but there were present homophobic social values and legislation (Section 28, unequal age of consent) that resonated with the context within which Orton was writing and his work was first being produced.1 Orton’s figure as a queer and a playwright stood as both inspiration and a lesson from the past, one that reminded queers and gays in the 1980s and 1990s that the fight for equality does not end with a change in the legal status of homosexuality, or indeed in the 2010s, with equal marriage. Yet in recent years Orton’s work has fallen out of favour and does not appear as often as it once did on the queer cultural landscape. There are many reasons for this, not least of all that the kind of work that Orton makes might not register as queer or even gay now.

  • What the Artist Saw: Art Inspired by the Life and Work of Joe Orton What the Artist Saw
    What the Artist Saw: Art Inspired by the Life and Work of Joe Orton What the Artist Saw: Art Inspired by the Life and Work of Joe Orton Artists: David Lock, Louise Plant, Tim Youd Curators: Michael Petry (MOCA, London) and Emma Parker (University of Leicester) Museum of Contemporary Art, London: 5 February - 4 March 2017 New Walk Museum and Art Gallery, Leicester: 29 July - 22 October 2017 What Artists See The impetus for this exhibition was a conversation with Dr Sarah Graham, the partner of Dr Emma Parker, co-curator of the exhibition. Sarah and I met at a conference whose aim was to generate a festival around the history of HIV/ AIDS in Europe, which will take place in Amsterdam and London in 2018. Sarah mentioned that Emma was working on a project to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Joe Orton’s death and I immediately thought that MOCA should be involved. It is the odd nature of things that Orton, who had many sexual partners, should have died at the hands of his long-term lover, Kenneth Halliwell, and therefor not become ill from a disease that killed so many creative people from his generation. A hammer blow to the head, as opposed to a blowjob, took his life. Somehow, if he weren’t the victim of this scenario, I think he might have found it poetic, or funny, but most likely he would have preferred to still be alive either way, and not to have ever contracted HIV. The toll on the creative community in the 1980’s is in many ways a bad dream, one that is remembered, but institutionally, often pushed out of the mind.

SONIC VOCALITY: A THEORY ON THE USE OF VOICE IN CHARACTER PORTRAYAL by CINDY ANN MILLIGAN Under the Direction of Patricia G. Davis, PhD ABSTRACT The primary purpose of this study was to discover whether and how the voice alone can change audiences’ perception of character in films. It further sought to determine some of the specific changes in vocal performance that might construct that difference. Data were gathered from three focus groups that screened film clips between two and five minutes long. The clips were edited from five pairs of matched films—an original and its remake. Films were chosen to represent a variety of genres and release dates, and they included scenes where the dialogue was identical or similar. Although each focus group experienced the same set of edited film clips from the matched film pairs, one group experienced only the sound without any visuals, a second group watched only the visuals of the same clips without any sound, and a third group watched the clips as they were produced with sound and visuals.

Som ung och ogift katolsk kvinna blev hon gravid, en synd och stor skam, och födde sitt barn på nunneklostret där hon arbetar och sliter. Nunnorna tvingade henne att mot sin vilja adoptera bort sonen och Philomena vet sedan inte vad som hänt honom. Hon träffar Martin Sixsmith (Steve Coogan), tidigare framgångsrik BBC-reporter och journalist, numera arbetslös. Sixsmith lovar hjälpa henne med efterforskningen i utbyte mot möjligheten att få en bra story som kan sätta fart på hans karriär igen. Den cyniske, världsvane, intellektuelle journalisten påverkas i sin syn på tillvaron av den fromma, förlåtande Philomena. Lysande spel av Coogan och Dench i denna varma tragikomiska film som baseras på boken ”The lost child of Philomena Lee”. Om regissören Stephen Frears föddes 1941 i Leicester, UK. Efter juridikstudier har han ägnat sig åt film och TV-produktion. Han började som assistent åt regissören Lindsay Anderson på London ́s Royal Court Theatre.
