Accruals It appears that this 3-carton collection is quite complete as it is. It contains all of the Tom Luddy papers that have been stored at the PFA since his departure in 1980. Arrangement The material is arranged in four series: Series 1, Film programming Series 2, Film collection Series 3, Film festivals and conferences Series 4, Correspondence Some folder titles reflect the date of the program event rather than creation dates. Biographical / Historical Tom Luddy became the Pacific Film Archive's second director following Sheldon Renan's departure in 1975. Luddy graduated from the University of California at Berkeley where he obtained a B.A. and during his time as a student he operated several film societies. Upon graduation, Luddy began his career by distributing international films at Brandon Films in New York City. In 1972, he returned to Berkeley where he served as program director at the PFA, before becoming archive director and curator in 1975. Luddy remained in this position until 1980, when he left to join Francis Ford Coppola's Zoetrope Studios as director of special projects. Preferred Citation [Identification of item]. Tom Luddy program notes, correspondence, and related Pacific Film Archive material, 1972-1980. [PFA--MSS--004]. UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, University of California, Berkeley. Scope and Contents The collection consists of correspondence, internal memoranda and notes generated in the course of Luddy's work at the Pacific Film Archive. The earliest material begins with Luddy's first official position at PFA as program director in 1972, and continues through his appointment as archive director and curator in 1975, ending with his resignation in 1980, when he left to pursue a film producing career. Coverage is primarily over the period 1975-1980. The majority of the material covers the day-to-day logistics of scheduling programs. The cycle Luddy used to accomplish this became increasingly well defined over time. He would develop ideas, often by scanning reviews, initiate correspondence with holders of rights, contact directors to propose a personal appearance, negotiate rental, honoraria and transport, schedule the series, and finally print the calendar and introduce the event. At any particular time, Luddy would be working on a small number of large-scale projects in conjunction with programmers at other institutions, most notably the Museum of Modern Art in New York. These projects, which typically centered on films of a national cinema never or rarely seen in the United States, often involved travel to, and negotiation with, the national film archives of those countries. Notable examples of this are the Indian and Soviet Film series presented in 1974. In between these large projects, Luddy would program series rented from other institutions, retrospectives of known directors, other short series and single showings. A great deal of interesting anecdotal material was generated in the course of his daily correspondence, often as an aside in a letter dealing with PFA business. Some examples of this include letters PFA.MSS.004 2 describing the funeral of Henri Langlois, events that happened during personal appearances at the PFA (Howard Hawks, Kenji Mizoguchi, and others) and day-to-day events in the lives of Luddy's associates (Sterling Hayden, Agnes Varda, Francois Truffaut). In addition to film programming, a significant proportion of the material deals with benefit screenings Luddy organized on behalf of the PFA, most notably for Francis Ford Coppola's film Apocalypse Now and Werner Herzog's Nosferatu. There is also some material relating to the acquisition or copying of prints for the PFA collection.

    Hybrid variations on a documentary theme Robert Stam1 1 É professor transdisciplinar da Universidade de Nova York. Autor de diversos livros sobre cinema e literatura, cinema e estudos culturais, incluindo Brazilian cinema, Reflexivity in film and literature, Subversive pleasure, Tropical multiculturalism, Film theory: an introduction, Literature through film e François Truffaut and friends.

Lecionou na Tunísia, na França e no Brasil (USP, UFF, UFMG) E-mail: [email protected] revista brasileira de estudos de cinema e audiovisual | julho-dezembro 2013 Resumo ano 2 número 4 Embora muitas vezes encarado como pólos opostos, o documentário e a ficção são, na verdade, teórica e praticamente entrelaçados, assim como a história e a ficção, também convencionalmente definidos como opostos, são simbioticamente ligados. O historiador Hayden White argumentou em seu livro Metahistory que a distinção mito/ história é arbitrária e uma invenção recente. No que diz respeito ao cinema, bem como à escrita, White apontou que pouco importa se o mundo que é transmitido para o leitor/espectador é concebido para ser real ou imaginário, a forma de dar sentido discursivo a ele através do tropos e da montagem do enredo é idêntica (WHITE, 1973). Neste artigo, examinaremos as maneiras que a hibridação entre documentário e ficção tem sido mobilizada como radical recurso estético. Palavras-chave Documentário, ficção, hibridização, sentido discursivo. Abstract Although often assumed to be polar opposites, documentary and fiction are in fact theoretically and practically intermeshed, just as history and fiction, also conventually seen as opposites, are symbiotically connected.

  • Jeder Tag Ist Ein Geschenk«
    »Jeder Tag ist ein Geschenk« Menschen | Zum Tod der großen Schauspielerin Jeanne Moreau 2003 hatte Jeanne Moreau (halb im Scherz) einen künstlerischen Wunsch geäußert, der sich allerdings nie erfüllt hat: »Shakespeares Lear. Den spiele ich, wenn ich achtzig bin!« Von PETER MOHR Mit dem ›Lear‹ ist es zwar nichts geworden, doch die Blitzlichter der Fotografen zog sie bis ins hohe Alter immer noch beinahe magisch an, wie etwa bei ihrem Kurzauftritt als Ehrengast bei der Europäischen Filmpreisgala im Jahr 2007 in Berlin. Sie war nicht nur eine der wirklich großen Schauspielerinnen, sondern war auch der Schwarm einer ganzen Männergeneration, ihr Name wird in einem Atemzug mit Marlene Dietrich und Greta Garbo genannt, vom liebeshungrigen Luder bis zur rachsüchtigen Ehefrau hat sie alles verkörpert, und ihre eigene Vita würde genug Stoff für einen abendfüllenden Kinofilm hergeben. Jeanne Moreau, die am 23. Januar 1928 in Paris als Tochter eines Hoteliers geboren und als 20-jährige bereits in die ehrwürdige Comédie-Française aufgenommen wurde, hat als Schauspielerin nicht nur die großen Regisseure, sondern auch als Privatperson viele Prominente fasziniert: Louis Malle, Orson Welles, John Frankenheimer, Jean-Louis Richard (aus der Ehe stammt Sohn Jérome, der heute ein erfolgreicher Maler ist), Modeschöpfer Pierre Cardin, der 14 Jahre jüngere Schriftsteller Peter Handke, und der Regisseur Tony Richardson (die Affäre führte zu seiner Scheidung von Vanessa Redgrave) waren ihre Lebensgefährten. Zwar hatte Jeanne Moreau Anfang der 1950er Jahre auf der Theaterbühne unter der Regie von Peter Brook in Tennessee Willliams‘ ›Die Katze auf dem heißen Blechdach‹ und an der Seite von Lino Ventura und Jean Gabin als Luder Josy in ›Wenn es Nacht wird in Paris‹ (1953) für Furore gesorgt, doch der große Durchbruch gelang ihr ausgerechnet unter der Regie eines Debütanten – in Louis Malles ›Fahrstuhl zum Schafott‹ (1957).

  • JEANNE MOREAU: NOUVELLE VAGUE and BEYOND February 25 - March 18, 1994
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release February 1994 JEANNE MOREAU: NOUVELLE VAGUE AND BEYOND February 25 - March 18, 1994 A film retrospective of the legendary French actress Jeanne Moreau, spanning her remarkable forty-five year career, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on February 25, 1994. JEANNE MOREAU: NOUVELLE VAGUE AND BEYOND traces the actress's steady rise from the French cinema of the 1950s and international renown as muse and icon of the New Wave movement to the present. On view through March 18, the exhibition shows Moreau to be one of the few performing artists who both epitomize and transcend their eras by the originality of their work. The retrospective comprises thirty films, including three that Moreau directed. Two films in the series are United States premieres: The Old Woman Mho Wades in the Sea (1991, Laurent Heynemann), and her most recent film, A Foreign Field (1993, Charles Sturridge), in which Moreau stars with Lauren Bacall and Alec Guinness. Other highlights include The Queen Margot (1953, Jean Dreville), which has not been shown in the United States since its original release; the uncut version of Eva (1962, Joseph Losey); the rarely seen Mata Hari, Agent H 21 (1964, Jean-Louis Richard), and Joanna Francesa (1973, Carlos Diegues). Alternately playful, seductive, or somber, Moreau brought something truly modern to the screen -- a compelling but ultimately elusive persona. After perfecting her craft as a principal member of the Comedie Frangaise and the Theatre National Populaire, she appeared in such films as Louis Malle's Elevator to the Gallows (1957) and The Lovers (1958), the latter of which she created a scandal with her portrayal of an adultress.

  • Bucharest-Ilfov
    Region in focus: Bucharest-Ilfov Bucharest-Ilfov Region, formed by Bucharest, Romania’s capital and Ilfov County – is located in the central part of the Romanian Plain in southern Ro- mania. Bucharest is the largest urban agglomeration of the country; its num- bers approaching 2 million inhabitants represents more than 85% from the total region’s population. Romanian legend says that the city of Bucharest was founded on the banks of the Dambovita River by a shepherd named Bucur, whose name literally means ”joy”. His flute playing reportedly dazzled the people and his hearty wine from nearby vineyards endeared him to the local traders, who gave his name to the place. Known for its wide, tree-lined boulevards, glorious Belle Époque buildings and a re- putation for the highlife (which in the 1900s earned its nickname of ”Little Paris”), Bucharest is today a bustling metropolis. For this reason film productions began shoo- ting in Bucharest and it did not take long for international producers and filming com- panies to discover and appreciate the rich historical heritage of the city. In fact, more than 200 productions have been filmed, entirely or partially in Bucha- rest and its surrounding areas, most of them in the last ten years. Renowned individu- als from the film industry have linked their professional activity to the town of Bucur.
