  • 101 Films for Filmmakers
    101 (OR SO) FILMS FOR FILMMAKERS The purpose of this list is not to create an exhaustive list of every important film ever made or filmmaker who ever lived. That task would be impossible. The purpose is to create a succinct list of films and filmmakers that have had a major impact on filmmaking. A second purpose is to help contextualize films and filmmakers within the various film movements with which they are associated. The list is organized chronologically, with important film movements (e.g. Italian Neorealism, The French New Wave) inserted at the appropriate time. AFI (American Film Institute) Top 100 films are in blue (green if they were on the original 1998 list but were removed for the 10th anniversary list). Guidelines: 1. The majority of filmmakers will be represented by a single film (or two), often their first or first significant one. This does not mean that they made no other worthy films; rather the films listed tend to be monumental films that helped define a genre or period. For example, Arthur Penn made numerous notable films, but his 1967 Bonnie and Clyde ushered in the New Hollywood and changed filmmaking for the next two decades (or more). 2. Some filmmakers do have multiple films listed, but this tends to be reserved for filmmakers who are truly masters of the craft (e.g. Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick) or filmmakers whose careers have had a long span (e.g. Luis Buñuel, 1928-1977). A few filmmakers who re-invented themselves later in their careers (e.g. David Cronenberg–his early body horror and later psychological dramas) will have multiple films listed, representing each period of their careers.

  • The Necronomicon
    Dedication On the One Hundredth anniversary of the Nativity of the Poet ALEISTER CROWLEY 1875-1975 Ad Meiomrum Cthulhi Gloriam ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS THE EDITOR would like to thank all of the people whose cooperation and dedication to unspeakable horrors has made this book possible. First, our thanks go to that nameless monk who presented us with the originals., who has since disappeared. Second, to that ever-changing staff of translators who performed a most distasteful and oft'times unsatisfying task: to Ms. I. Celms, Ms. N. Papaspyrou, Mr. Peter Levenda, Mr. X. and Mr. Y. Third, to Ms. J. McNally, whose thorough knowledge and understanding of Craft folklore aided the Editor in assuming a proper perspective towards this Work. Fourth, to Mr. J. Birnbaum who aided in some of the preliminary practical research concerning the powers of the Book, and its dangers. Fifth, to Mr. L. K. Barnes, who dared to tempt the awesome wrath of the Ancient Ones, rising unspeakable eldritch horrors, in supporting the publication of this arcane treatise. Sixth, to all those patient Pagans and Friends of the Craft who waited, and waited for the eventual publication of this tome with baited breath . and something on the stove. Seventh, and perhaps most importantly, to Herman Slater of the Magickal Childe (nee Warlock Shop), whose constant encouragement and eternal kvetching was material to the completion of this Work. And, finally, to the Demon PERDURABO, without whose help the presentation of this Book would have been impossible. Blessed Be! TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION

New York The MacMillan Company 1911 Contents Introduction. .2 Author's Preface. .8 Book I. 15 Book II. 86 Book III. 138 Book IV. 188 Book V. 267 Footnotes . 347 [v] Introduction. When Nietzsche called his book The Dawn of Day, he was far from giving it a merely fanciful title to attract the attention of that large section of the public which judges books by their titles rather than by their contents. The Dawn of Day represents, figuratively, the dawn of Nietzsche's own philosophy. Hitherto he had been considerably influenced in his outlook, if not in his actual thoughts, by Schopenhauer, Wagner, and perhaps also Comte. Human, all-too-Human, belongs to a period of transition. After his rupture with Bayreuth, Nietzsche is, in both parts of that work, trying to stand on his own legs, and to regain his spiritual freedom; he is feeling his way to his own philosophy.

  • Necronomicon Ye Book of the Laws of the Dead As Recorded by Abdul Al
    Necronomicon Ye Book of the Laws of the Dead As recorded by Abdul Al-Hazred, the Mad Arab Translated from the Latin of Olaus Wormius -by- Dr. John Dee London The Year of Our Lord One Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty Two THE TESTIMONY OF THE MAD ARAB THIS is the testimony of all that I have seen, and all that I have learned, in those years that I have possessed the Three Seals of THE BLACK CITY. I have seen One Thousand-and-One moons, and surely this is enough for the span of a man's life, though it is said the Prophets lived much longer. I am weak, and ill, and bear a great tiredness and exhaustion, and a sigh hangs in my breast like a dark lantern. I am old. This is the book of the laws and practices of the sleeping dead, written by myself, Abd Al-Hazred - the great sorcerer and poet. With the secrets in this book I have spoken with dark spirits, who have furnished me with many riches, both in the form of money and knowledge, I have even learned the unlearnable knowledge of the divine ones, such is the power of what I learned. I have also learned of the Old Spirits, who lived before man, and still live dreaming, and they are very terrible. It was a face of one of these very spirits that initiated me into this powerful magic. The wolves carry my name in their midnight speeches, and that quiet, subtle Voice is summoning me from afar.

  • Demons and Monsters in the Mesopotamian Textual and Artistic Tradition
    They are Seven: Demons and Monsters in the Mesopotamian Textual and Artistic Tradition by Gina V. Konstantopoulos A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Near Eastern Studies) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Professor Piotr A. Michalowski, Chair Professor Gary M. Beckman Associate Professor Ian S. Moyer Associate Professor Ellen Muehlberger Professor Daniel Schwemer, Julius Maximilians Universität Würzburg © Gina V. Konstantopoulos 2015 Acknowledgements I owe debts of gratitude (as well as the existence of this dissertation as anything resembling a complete – perhaps even coherent – form) to many different people. First and foremost, my thanks go to my dissertation committee. I am deeply grateful to have worked with Piotr Michalowski as my advisor from the beginning of my time at Michigan, and to have had the great privilege of so much time studying under his Sumerological wing. I am thankful to Gary Beckman for years of careful instruction and equally dedicated care to this dissertation. Ian Moyer agreed to join on as my cognate member and committed his careful attention to the project. Ellen Muehlberger tirelessly read drafts, fielded questions, and was endlessly patient with letting me know when I had gone too far afield or otherwise off-book. Daniel Schwemer kindly agreed to sign onto the committee while I was studying with him at Würzburg, and applied his meticulous attention to it. I was able to spend the 2012-2013 academic year at the University of Würzburg thanks to a fellowship from the Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst, and I could not have been more fortunate to spend my first full year of research and writing in such a supportive department.

  • Hollywood on the Danube: Hungarian Filmmakers in a Transnational
    Page 1 of 6 Portuges, Catherine. ―Hollywood on the Danube: Hungarian Filmmakers in a Transnational Context.‖ AHEA: E-journal of the American Hungarian Educators Association, Volume 5 (2012): http://ahea.net/e-journal/volume-5-2012 Hollywood on the Danube: Hungarian Filmmakers in a Transnational Context Catherine Portuges. University of Massachusetts Amherst Abstract: Exile, emigration and displacement have marked the trajectories of Hungarian filmmakers over the past century. Michael Curtiz, the Korda brothers—Alexander, Vincent and Zoltán—André de Toth, Emeric Pressburger, Vilmos Zsigmond, Miklós Rózsa, Peter Lorre, Géza von Radvány and other talented artists have crossed borders, cultures and languages, creating such classics as Casablanca, Somewhere in Europe, The Red Shoes and The Lost One. The legendary sign posted in Hollywood studios read: "It is not enough to be Hungarian, you have to have talent, too!" Accompanied by film extracts, rare footage, personal interviews, archive photographs, and documentary materials, my presentation explores the transnational odysseys of these Hungarian directors, producers, cinematographers, composers, actors and screenwriters whose artistic contributions became an indispensable part of international cinema, suggesting that the challenges of emigration may also offer opportunities for critique, self-examination and artistic creativity. Keywords: Hungary, exile, Hollywood, filmmakers Biography: Catherine Portuges is Director of the Interdepartmental Program in Film Studies, Professor of Comparative Literature, and Curator, Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival, University of Massachusetts Amherst where she received the Chancellor's Medal for Distinguished Teaching (2010). She was awarded the Pro Cultura Hungarica Medal (Republic of Hungary, 2009) for her contributions to Hungarian cinema, and a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship (2007) for her project on Jewish identities in Hungarian filmmaking.
