The Human Voice and the Silent Cinema. PUB DATE Apr 75 NOTE 23P.; Paper Presented at the Society Tor Cinema Studies Conference (New York City, April 1975)
i t i DOCUMENT RESUME ED 105 527 CS 501 036 AUTHOR Berg, Charles M. TITLE The Human Voice and the Silent Cinema. PUB DATE Apr 75 NOTE 23p.; Paper presented at the Society tor Cinema Studies Conference (New York City, April 1975) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.76 HC-$1.58 PLUS POSTAGE DESCRIPTORS *Audiovisual Communication; Communication (Thought Transfer); *Films; *Film Study; Higher Education; *History; *Sound Films; Visual Literacy ABSTRACT This paper traces the history of motion pictures from Thomas Edison's vision in 1887 of an instrument that recorded body movements to the development cf synchronized sound-motion films in the late 1920s. The first synchronized sound film was made and demonstrated by W. K. L. Dickson, an assistant to Edison, in 1889. The popular acceptance of silent films and their contents is traced. through the development of film narrative and the use of music in the early 1900s. The silent era is labeled as a consequence of technological and economic chance and this chance is made to account for the accelerated development of the medium's visual communicative capacities. The thirty year time lapse between the development of film and the -e of live human voices can therefore be regarded as the critical stimuli which pushed the motion picture into becoming an essentially visual medium in which the audial channel is subordinate to and supportive of the visual channel. The time lapse also aided the motion picture to become a medium of artistic potential and significance. (RB) U SOEPARTME NT OF HEALTH. COUCATION I.

Hamas and Fateh Neck and Neck As Palestinian Elections Near
OPINION OFFICE OF ANALYSIS RESEARCH DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHINGTON, DC 20520 January 19, 2005 M-05-06 Hamas and Fateh Neck and Neck As Palestinian Elections Near A just-completed Office of Research survey in the Palestinian Territories shows a much closer race at the polls than some have predicted. Among likely voters, 32 percent intend to back Fateh on the National Ballot, while 30 percent say they will support Hamas. Corruption is the leading issue among the Palestinian public, with most believing that Hamas is more qualified than Fateh to clean it up. While Hamas is seen as less able than Fateh to advance negotiations with Israel, a majority of both Fateh and Hamas supporters back a continuation of the ceasefire, ongoing talks with Israel, and a two-state solution. The survey, conducted January 13-15, indicates that eight-in-ten among the electorate are either “very likely” (53%) or “somewhat likely” (28%) to vote on the National Ballot in the January 25th elections for the Palestinian Legislative Council. Among likely voters, about a third each intend to vote for Hamas and Fateh (Table 1). Independent Palestine, led by Mustafa Bhargouti, is backed by 13 percent of likely voters. Based on these results, Fateh would gain roughly 24 of the 66 National Ballot seats, Hamas 22 seats, Independent Palestine 9 seats, with the remaining 11 split among smaller parties. These results show a closer race than other published surveys of likely voters, which have tended to place Fateh ahead at the polls by a wider margin (Appendix, Table 1). -

Many of the sources posed problems concerning numerical data on immi gration, especially for the months leading up to the end of the British Mandate, January-April 1948, and the first few months of the state, May August 1948. The researchers point out that 7,574 immigrant data cards are missing from the records and believe this to be due to the 'circumstances of the times'. Records are complete from September 1948 onward, and an important population census was held in November 1948. A parallel record ing system conducted by the Jewish Agency, which continued to operate after that of the Mandatory Government, provided us with statistical data for immigration during 1948-9 and made it possible to analyse the part taken by the Holocaust survivors. -
1 GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY VISITING FILM SERIES April 29
GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY VISITING FILM SERIES April 29, 2020 I am pleased to be here to talk about my role as Deputy Director of the Washington, DC International Film Festival, more popularly known as Filmfest DC, and as Director of the Arabian Sights Film Festival. I would like to start with a couple of statistics: We all know that Hollywood films dominate the world’s movie theaters, but there are thousands of other movies made around the globe that most of us are totally unaware of or marginally familiar with. India is the largest film producing nation in the world, whose films we label “Bollywood”. India produces around 1,500 to 2,000 films every year in more than 20 languages. Their primary audience is the poor who want to escape into this imaginary world of pretty people, music and dancing. Amitabh Bachchan is widely regarded as the most famous actor in the world, and one of the greatest and most influential actors in world cinema as well as Indian cinema. He has starred in at least 190 movies. He is a producer, television host, and former politician. He is also the host of India’s Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Nigeria is the next largest film producing country and is also known as “Nollywood”, producing almost 1000 films per year. That’s almost 20 films per week. The average Nollywood movie is produced in a span of 7-10 days on a budget of less than $20,000. Next comes Hollywood. Last year, 786 films were released in U.S. -

Recovering the Palestinian History of Dispossession Through Graphics in Leila Abdelrazaq’S Baddawi
MONOGRAPHIC Eikón Imago e-ISSN: 2254-8718 Recovering the Palestinian History of Dispossession through Graphics in Leila Abdelrazaq’s Baddawi Arya Priyadarshini1; Suman Sigroha2 Recibido: 15 de mayo de 2020 / Aceptado: 10 de junio de 2020 / Publicado: 3 de julio de 2020 Abstract. Documentation is a significant mechanism to prove one’s identity. Palestinians, being robbed of this privilege to document their history, have taken upon other creative means to prove their existence. Being instruments of resistance, graphics and comics have a historical prominence in the Palestinian community. Building on this rich history of resistance through art, the paper contends that the modern graphic novel is used as a tool by the author to reclaim the Palestinian identity by drawing their rootedness in the region, thus resisting their effacement from public memory. Keywords: Graphic Novel; Resistance; Trauma; Memory; Intifada; Displacement; Baddawi. [es] Recuperando la historia palestina de desposesión a través de gráficos en Baddawi de Leila Abdelrazaq Resumen. La documentación es un mecanismo significativo para probar la identidad de uno. Los palestinos, al ser despojados de este privilegio de documentar su historia, han tomado otros medios creativos para demostrar su existencia. Al ser instrumentos de resistencia, los gráficos y los cómics tienen una importancia histórica en la comunidad palestina. Sobre la base de esta rica historia de resistencia a través del arte, el artículo sostiene que la novela gráfica moderna, que es en sí misma un producto de resistencia a los cómics convencionales, es utilizada por el autor como una herramienta para recuperar la identidad palestina al extraer su arraigo en la región, resistiendo así la narrativa dominante y su borrado de la historia. -

The French New Wave and the New Hollywood: Le Samourai and Its American Legacy
ACTA UNIV. SAPIENTIAE, FILM AND MEDIA STUDIES, 3 (2010) 109–120 The French New Wave and the New Hollywood: Le Samourai and its American legacy Jacqui Miller Liverpool Hope University (United Kingdom) E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The French New Wave was an essentially pan-continental cinema. It was influenced both by American gangster films and French noirs, and in turn was one of the principal influences on the New Hollywood, or Hollywood renaissance, the uniquely creative period of American filmmaking running approximately from 1967–1980. This article will examine this cultural exchange and enduring cinematic legacy taking as its central intertext Jean-Pierre Melville’s Le Samourai (1967). Some consideration will be made of its precursors such as This Gun for Hire (Frank Tuttle, 1942) and Pickpocket (Robert Bresson, 1959) but the main emphasis will be the references made to Le Samourai throughout the New Hollywood in films such as The French Connection (William Friedkin, 1971), The Conversation (Francis Ford Coppola, 1974) and American Gigolo (Paul Schrader, 1980). The article will suggest that these films should not be analyzed as isolated texts but rather as composite elements within a super-text and that cross-referential study reveals the incremental layers of resonance each film’s reciprocity brings. This thesis will be explored through recurring themes such as surveillance and alienation expressed in parallel scenes, for example the subway chases in Le Samourai and The French Connection, and the protagonist’s apartment in Le Samourai, The Conversation and American Gigolo. A recent review of a Michael Moorcock novel described his work as “so rich, each work he produces forms part of a complex echo chamber, singing beautifully into both the past and future of his own mythologies” (Warner 2009). -
