  • Bruce Beresford's Breaker Morant Re-Viewed
    FILMHISTORIA Online Vol. 30, núm. 1 (2020) · ISSN: 2014-668X The Boers and the Breaker: Bruce Beresford’s Breaker Morant Re-Viewed ROBERT J. CARDULLO University of Michigan Abstract This essay is a re-viewing of Breaker Morant in the contexts of New Australian Cinema, the Boer War, Australian Federation, the genre of the military courtroom drama, and the directing career of Bruce Beresford. The author argues that the film is no simple platitudinous melodrama about military injustice—as it is still widely regarded by many—but instead a sterling dramatization of one of the most controversial episodes in Australian colonial history. The author argues, further, that Breaker Morant is also a sterling instance of “telescoping,” in which the film’s action, set in the past, is intended as a comment upon the world of the present—the present in this case being that of a twentieth-century guerrilla war known as the Vietnam “conflict.” Keywords: Breaker Morant; Bruce Beresford; New Australian Cinema; Boer War; Australian Federation; military courtroom drama. Resumen Este ensayo es una revisión del film Consejo de guerra (Breaker Morant, 1980) desde perspectivas como la del Nuevo Cine Australiano, la guerra de los boers, la Federación Australiana, el género del drama en una corte marcial y la trayectoria del realizador Bruce Beresford. El autor argumenta que la película no es un simple melodrama sobre la injusticia militar, como todavía es ampliamente considerado por muchos, sino una dramatización excelente de uno de los episodios más controvertidos en la historia colonial australiana. El director afirma, además, que Breaker Morant es también una excelente instancia de "telescopio", en el que la acción de la película, ambientada en el pasado, pretende ser una referencia al mundo del presente, en este caso es el de una guerra de guerrillas del siglo XX conocida como el "conflicto" de Vietnam.

The Monthly Newsletter of St. Paul Lutheran Church * April 2017 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Does Anyone Really Get Excited About Easter Anymore? In your Easter bonnet With all the frills upon it You'll be the grandest lady In the Easter Parade In 1933, the great American songwriter Irving Berlin published a song that he titled Easter Parade. In 1948 it was immortalized in a movie (also called Easter Parade) that featured Judy Garland and Fred Astaire. Although the story of the movie is fictional, the event it portrayed – a million or more people, all dressed in their Easter finery, parading down Fifth Avenue in Manhattan on Easter Sunday – had started as a spontaneous event in the 1870’s and had grown more popular with each passing year. It might surprise you to know that the concept of the Easter parade – or, more correctly, an Easter procession – has a strong religious background. In a tradition still followed by some churches (including some Lutheran churches), the faithful would gather outside the church on Easter morning and process together into the sanctuary as Easter hymns of joy were sung. This coincided with another ancient tradition, where newly catechized Christian converts were baptized at sunrise on Easter Sunday, dressed in white robes to symbolize purity and holiness. Soon after he legalized Christianity in 313 A.D., Roman Emperor Constantine issued a ruling that Christians should dress in their finest clothes and parade in honor of Christ’s resurrection. One other religious-related aspect of the Easter parade is that less than 200 years ago, churches usually did not make any efforts to beautify their sanctuaries on Easter morning.

  • A Dark New World : Anatomy of Australian Horror Films
    A dark new world: Anatomy of Australian horror films Mark David Ryan Faculty of Creative Industries, Queensland University of Technology A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the degree Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), December 2008 The Films (from top left to right): Undead (2003); Cut (2000); Wolf Creek (2005); Rogue (2007); Storm Warning (2006); Black Water (2007); Demons Among Us (2006); Gabriel (2007); Feed (2005). ii KEY WORDS Australian horror films; horror films; horror genre; movie genres; globalisation of film production; internationalisation; Australian film industry; independent film; fan culture iii ABSTRACT After experimental beginnings in the 1970s, a commercial push in the 1980s, and an underground existence in the 1990s, from 2000 to 2007 contemporary Australian horror production has experienced a period of strong growth and relative commercial success unequalled throughout the past three decades of Australian film history. This study explores the rise of contemporary Australian horror production: emerging production and distribution models; the films produced; and the industrial, market and technological forces driving production. Australian horror production is a vibrant production sector comprising mainstream and underground spheres of production. Mainstream horror production is an independent, internationally oriented production sector on the margins of the Australian film industry producing titles such as Wolf Creek (2005) and Rogue (2007), while underground production is a fan-based, indie filmmaking subculture, producing credit-card films such as I know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer (2006) and The Killbillies (2002). Overlap between these spheres of production, results in ‘high-end indie’ films such as Undead (2003) and Gabriel (2007) emerging from the underground but crossing over into the mainstream.

Jakie inne zwyczaje panują wśród mieszkańców krajów Europy? Święta Wielkanocne w Polsce obfitują w tradycje i zwyczaje ludowe, z których część jest wciąż żywo kultywowana, a część coraz bardziej zanika. Niektóre zwyczaje i tradycje wielkanocne przetrwały do dzisiaj w nieco zmodyfikowanej formie. Czym jest pogrzeb żuru i śledzia, wieszanie Judasza, Siuda Baba, Emaus i kurek dyngusowy? W zależności od tego, w jakiej części kraju mieszkamy, możemy znać różne tradycje i zwyczaje Świąt Wielkanocnych. Święcenie pokarmów Zwyczaj święcenia pokarmów w Wielką Sobotę na korzenie pogańskie, ale został uświęcony przez Kościół. Dzisiaj święcimy w Kościele tylko symboliczne pokarmy, które mieszczą się w niewielkim, zazwyczaj wiklinowym koszyku. Zawartość takiej święconki może być też różna, w zależności od danego regionu. Nie może jednak zabraknąć: jajek, chleba, kiełbasy lub wędlin, soli, baranka (z masła lub cukru), chrzanu oraz kawałka domowego ciasta. Dawniej święcono wszystkie pokarmy, które miały zostać spożyte w czasie wielkanocnego śniadania! Układano je w większych koszach i zanoszono do kościoła lub święcono przy kapliczce.

  • The Ritualisation of Food, Home and National Identity Among Polish Migrants
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Hertfordshire Research Archive 1 RESEARCH ARTICLE (2010) The Ritualisation of Food, Home and National Identity among Polish Migrants in London, Social Identities, 16(3), 377-39. Special issue, ed. By M.Rabikowska. The Ritualisation of Food, Home and National Identity among Polish Migrants in London. Marta Rabikowska1 School of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of East London, UK Abstract In this paper a process of negotiating identity among Polish migrants will be discussed in relation to their food habits: consumption, preparation and celebration. Through the ethnographic examination of food rituals the construction of meaning of home as both space and nationality will be observed and the attitude to the host culture will be revealed in the quotidian activities. The qualitative research based on interviews and visual ethnography has shown that there are three dominant ways of exchange with the local culture ranging from the least present to the ostentatiously conspicuous, named here as: orthodox, porous, and alternate. Each of them, however, is characterised by a perplexing degree of fluidity and sometimes contradiction which opposes the objectification of the models of culture, as had been already noticed by Bhaba (1994/2007) in relation to diasporic cultures and their tactics of adaptation. Home among Polish immigrants to the UK is a changing concept, open to negotiation, depending on their current 1 Corresponding author: Marta Rabikowska. Email. [email protected] 2 personal situation, profession, gender, expectations, ambitions and even peer pressure. Yet (re)creating home requires a certain dose of familiarity conceived from the meaning of Polishness which needs to be materialised from the past memories on a daily basis.

  • Racial Tragedy, Australian History, and the New Australian Cinema: Fred Schepisi's the Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith Revisited
    FILMHISTORIA Online Vol. 28, núms. 1-2 (2018) · ISSN: 2014-668X Racial Tragedy, Australian History, and the New Australian Cinema: Fred Schepisi’s The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith Revisited ROBERT J. CARDULLO University of Michigan Abstract The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith (1978) broke ground in its native country for dealing bluntly with one of the most tragic aspects of Australian history: the racist treatment of the aboriginal population. Adapted faithfully from the 1972 novel by Thomas Keneally, the film concerns a young man of mixed race in turn-of-the-century Australia who feels torn between the values and aspirations of white society, on the one hand, and his aboriginal roots, on the other, and who ultimately takes to violence against his perceived white oppressors. This essay re-views The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith from the following angles: its historical context; its place in the New Australian Cinema; its graphic violence; and the subsequent careers of the film’s director, Fred Schepisi, and its star, Tommy Lewis. Keywords: The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith; Fred Schepisi; Thomas Keneally; New Australian Cinema; racism and colonialism Prior to the late 1970s, Australia was something of a cinematic backwater. Occasionally, Hollywood and British production companies would turn up to use the country as a backdrop for films that ranged from the classic (On the Beach [1959]) to the egregious (Ned Kelly [1970], starring Mick Jagger). But the local movie scene, for the most part, was sleepy and unimaginative and very few Australian films traveled abroad. Then, without warning, Australia suddenly experienced an efflorescence of imaginative filmmaking, as movies such as Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975), The Getting of Wisdom (1977), My Brilliant Career (1979), and Breaker Morant (1980) began to be shown all over the world.
