  • 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.

  • Um Oscar Para O Brasil: Discussões Para a Construção De Uma Publicidade Forte Do Cinema Nacional 1
    Um Oscar para o Brasil: Discussões para a Construção de uma Publicidade forte do Cinema Nacional 1 Rafael José Bona2 Roberta Del-Vechio de Oliveira e Silva3 Centro Universitário Leonardo da Vinci – UNIASSELVI Resumo Este artigo tem como propósito resgatar o histórico de todas as indicações dos filmes brasileiros indicados no Oscar4 e enfocar principalmente nos últimos dez anos. A partir desse aspecto analisar a importância das indicações, questionamentos das derrotas e suas conseqüências no cinema nacional brasileiro, além de uma abordagem sobre as derrotas dos filmes no Oscar. Um dos objetivos desse artigo é investigar como uma indicação ou vitória no Oscar para um filme brasileiro – nos Estados Unidos – poderiam movimentar toda a indústria cinematográfica nacional, através da Publicidade e Propaganda, que ao mostrar a competência do nosso cinema, incentivariam a produção de novos filmes. Palavras-chave: Cinema Brasileiro; Oscar; Publicidade; Propaganda. 1 INTRODUÇÃO O Brasil já teve uma das maiores cinematografias internacionais do passado e sofreu uma grande crise de produção de filmes no final da década de 1980 por causa da extinção da Embrafilme5 e do Concine6, sendo que as produções do começo da década de 1990 não passavam de dois ou três longas metragens por ano. Mas, eis que um verdadeiro milagre aconteceu entre 1995 e 1996: o cinema brasileiro ressuscitou e ao mesmo tempo ocorre algo inesperado. Em 1996, O Quatrilho, foi indicado ao Oscar de a Melhor Filme Estrangeiro, depois de 33 anos sem aparecer por Hollywood e 1 Trabalho apresentado à Sessão de Temas Livres do XXVIII – Congresso Brasileiro de Ciências da Comunicação.

For last two years the situation of Polish cinema has changed favourably. In 2005 with the introducing the parliamentary act, Polish cinema received a great opportunity. The Polish Film Institute, created according to world's best standards, has become an institution supporting artists at every stage of film production. The PFI also subsidizes film festivals and retrospectives, supports the infrastructure of cinemas' renewal, promotes Polish cinema abroad, grants professional advancement of filmmakers as well as film schools. We are always trying to be where something important is happening in cinema. The new law and establishing the PFI resulted not only in multiplying the State's expenses on cinema – here I would like to remind that in the worst in this case year of 2002 Ministry of Culture assigned 4.3 million zloty for film production, while only this year the Institute assigned almost 80 million zloty for film production and development. The number of last year's feature film production increased up to 37 titles and in 2007 – 39 feature films have been made.
