  • Film Noir: the Most American Film Genre
    10/22/2019 FILM NOIR: THE MOST AMERICAN FILM GENRE THE WORLD ACCORDING TO FILM NOIR •“The most American ROGER film genre, because no EBERT: society could have created a world so filled with doom, fate, fear and betrayal, unless it were essentially naive and optimistic.” 1 10/22/2019 THE WORLD ACCORDING TO FILM NOIR The following slides will give you some descriptions of the world as it is portrayed in film noir. • Sam Spade (the detective) tells his client, Bridget O'Shaughnessy, an anecdote about a man named Flitcraft who one day suddenly went missing. • Spade, hired by Flitcraft's wife, is unable to locate him. A few years later, quite by accident, he encounters Flitcraft in another town and then discovers what had caused his disappearance. T 2 10/22/2019 ON THE DAY OF HIS DISAPPEARANCE, FLITCRAFT, WALKING BACK FROM LUNCH, HAD ALMOST BEEN KILLED BY A FALLING BEAM. STRUCK SUDDENLY BY THE ABSURDITY OF HOW EASILY HIS LIFE COULD HAVE BEEN ENDED •(“He knew then that men died at haphazard like that, and lived only while blind chance spared them”), 3 10/22/2019 •he walks away from his job and marriage and all his responsibilities. He settles in another town and after a period of time, rebuilds his life in the same mold as before the incident with the falling beam. • According to Foster Hirsch in Film Noir: The Dark Side of the Screen: “Like Flitcraft, Spade is clear-sighted --- pitilessly so, in fact --- proceeding as if the world makes sense and adds up to something when he knows it really doesn't.

  • Northeast Historic Film - "A" Is for Amateur
    H-Film Northeast Historic Film - "A" is for Amateur Discussion published by Devin Orgeron on Tuesday, February 12, 2019 PLEASE SHARE!!! Bucksport, Maine, USA Proposals Due: March 18, 2019 -Seeking presentation proposals from archivists, collectors and academics- Come celebrate the 20th anniversary of the NHF Summer Symposium! 2019 marks 20 years for our little gathering. And we are celebrating by collaborating with our friends with the Center for Home Movies. 2019 is also the centennial of the birth of the late Robbins Barstow of Wethersfield, Connecticut. Robbins was an amateur filmmaker for seven decades and his "Disneyland Dream" was named to the National Film Registry. Robbins presented his 1936 film "Tarzan and the Rocky Gorge" at the 2005 Summer Symposium. NHF is built on its commitment to amateur and small gauge film. And this year, we dig deep into our roots. Though we will be celebrating the work of, Robbins Barstow, an acknowledged Northeast amateur-auteur, our idea for this program is far from regionally specific. We want amateur movies, travel films, home movies, video, and small gauge work from anywhere and everywhere! And we want to hear your ideas about this material. Your own family films? Sure. Oddities hiding in plain sight in your collections? By all means! Our aim is to consider a variety of perspectives on a category of moving images that is delightfully difficult to pin down. Twenty-first century regional moving image archives discover and collect increasingly diverse audiovisual artifacts that represent increasingly diverse media-making populations. We seek to bring together archivists, collectors, scholars, and practitioners involved with regional AV archives—and regional AV collections within a general archives—to consider this topic from a range of positions.
