The Bead Game was inspired by Inuit bead work and by using beads on black background looks at prehistoric beings devouring each other, gradually evolving into humans spearing, shooting then bombing each other as a warning against nuclear warfare. Ishu Patel has directed a range of other animations including l97Os sex education shorts and bits for ‘Sesame Street’ his best known work is Paradise. Huset Pa Kamper/One Day a Man Bought a House Pjotr Sapegin (l998) Nor. A clay-mation in which a man moves into a house only to find that no matter what he tries he cant get rid of the incumbent occupier, a rat. One of l6 shorts so far directed by Sapegin who says “When I make puppet animations, I feel like I’m working with real actors, with the help of puppets I get closer to the film.” The Mermaid Alexander Petrov (l996) Rus. Petrov’s animations are pastel oil paintings on glass in a style of romantic realism. The Mermaid is based on Alexander Pushkin’s Rusalka and in turn on traditional Russian folklore where ‘succubi’ or siren-like mermaids (rusalki) are said to be the tormented souls of female suicides. Madame Tutli Putli Chris Lavis & Maciek Szczerbowski (2OO7) Can. Madame Tutli Putli dressed in l92Os garb with all her worldly possessions waits hunched and tentative for her train. Rather quickly her journey becomes a horrifying ordeal in this suspense filled thriller. The animation was made with silicone puppets and pioneers the technique of using composited human eyes. Since Madame Tutli Putli Clyde Henry Productions (Lavis and Szczerbowski) have also made Higglety Pigglety Pop! Or There Must Be More To Life. Cousin Adam Elliot (l998) Aus. This is Adam Elliot’s (Harvey Krumpet, Mary & Max) first professionally made film. “cousin” is a stop motion animation without digital enhancement that uses clay models to give a short, moving yet, amusing biography of a child with cerebal palsy. Siren Raoul Servais (l968) Bel. A tragic mermaid-based love story set in red skied docklands inhabited by merciless cranes, screeching pterodacyls, a lonely fisher and an uncompromising legal system. Siren presents a number of good visual jokes both because of and despite the imposed social order and environmental decay. Screen one l43Oh Harvie Krumpet Adam Elliot (2OO3) Aus. From the moment he was born, Harvie’s life has been an unending series of unfortunate mishaps.

Many of the Premiere fi lmmakers were returning directors (Errol Morris, Tom DiCillo, Victor Nunez, Gregg Araki, Kevin Smith), whose earlier, sometimes unknown, work had received a warm reception at Sundance. The Piper-Heidsieck tribute to independent vision went to actor/director Tim Robbins, and a major retrospective of the works of German New-Wave giant Rainer Werner Fassbinder was staged, with many of his original actors fl own in for forums.

    Interdisciplinary Evolution Research 2 Emanuele Serrelli Nathalie Gontier Editors Macroevolution Explanation, Interpretation and Evidence Interdisciplinary Evolution Research Volume 2 Series editors Nathalie Gontier, Lisbon, Portugal Olga Pombo, Lisbon, Portugal [email protected] About the Series The time when only biologists studied evolution has long since passed. Accepting evolution requires us to come to terms with the fact that everything that exists must be the outcome of evolutionary processes. Today, a wide variety of academic disciplines are therefore confronted with evolutionary problems, ranging from physics and medicine, to linguistics, anthropology and sociology. Solving evolutionary problems also necessitates an inter- and transdisciplinary approach, which is why the Modern Synthesis is currently extended to include drift theory, symbiogenesis, lateral gene transfer, hybridization, epigenetics and punctuated equilibria theory. The series Interdisciplinary Evolution Research aims to provide a scholarly platform for the growing demand to examine specific evolutionary problems from the perspectives of multiple disciplines. It does not adhere to one specific academic field, one specific school of thought, or one specific evolutionary theory. Rather, books in the series thematically analyze how a variety of evolutionary fields and evolutionary theories provide insights into specific, well-defined evolutionary problems of life and the socio-cultural domain. Editors-in-chief of the series are Nathalie Gontier and Olga Pombo. The

  • These Strange Criminals: an Anthology Of
    ‘THESE STRANGE CRIMINALS’: AN ANTHOLOGY OF PRISON MEMOIRS BY CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS FROM THE GREAT WAR TO THE COLD WAR In many modern wars, there have been those who have chosen not to fight. Be it for religious or moral reasons, some men and women have found no justification for breaking their conscientious objection to vio- lence. In many cases, this objection has lead to severe punishment at the hands of their own governments, usually lengthy prison terms. Peter Brock brings the voices of imprisoned conscientious objectors to the fore in ‘These Strange Criminals.’ This important and thought-provoking anthology consists of thirty prison memoirs by conscientious objectors to military service, drawn from the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and centring on their jail experiences during the First and Second World Wars and the Cold War. Voices from history – like those of Stephen Hobhouse, Dame Kathleen Lonsdale, Ian Hamilton, Alfred Hassler, and Donald Wetzel – come alive, detailing the impact of prison life and offering unique perspectives on wartime government policies of conscription and imprisonment. Sometimes intensely mov- ing, and often inspiring, these memoirs show that in some cases, indi- vidual conscientious objectors – many well-educated and politically aware – sought to reform the penal system from within either by publicizing its dysfunction or through further resistance to authority. The collection is an essential contribution to our understanding of criminology and the history of pacifism, and represents a valuable addition to prison literature. peter brock is a professor emeritus in the Department of History at the University of Toronto.

    “ASIFA 50 on 50” (aka “ASIFA 51 on 51”) – the contest th inspired by the 50 anniversary of International Animated Film Association (Association Internationale du Film d’Animation – ASIFA) This year, a significant group of artists, producers, festival directors, animation critics and viewers can th celebrate the 50 anniversary of the creation of the International Animated Film Association (Association Internationale du Film d’Animation – ASIFA), an organization founded by Norman Mc Laren and other exceptional creators in order to unite animation artists from all around the world. th The head of the Association chose 2010 to be the year in which the 50 anniversary is celebrated. As people responsible for the International Etiuda&Anima Film Festival, which is the oldest Polish festival devoted to film education and international animation, we have decided to hold a competition together with ASIFA Poland. The international contest called “ASIFA 50 on 50” focuses on creating a list of 50 best animated shorts created during the 50 years that the Association has been active. The idea was welcomed by the ASIFA and honorary Patronage was provided by the Association President, Mr Nelson Shin from Korea, and Mr Raoul Servais from Belgium, the Honorary President of the celebration. The story is worth remembering. In the 1984, the ASIFA Hollywood decided to celebrate the Los Angeles Olympics together with the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and conducted the famous “Champions of Animation” poll. The idea first occurred to the late Fini Littlejohn, an ASIFA Hollywood member, designer and illustrator working for the Disney Studios.

  • The Elegies of Wim Wenders, Laurie Anderson and Alexander Sokurov
    “In Works of Hands or of the Wits of Men”: The Elegies of Wim Wenders, Laurie Anderson and Alexander Sokurov by Morteza Dehghani A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2019 ©Morteza Dehghani 2019 Examining Committee Membership The following served on the Examining Committee for this thesis. The decision of the Examining Committee is by majority vote. External Examiner Angelica Fenner Associate Professor Supervisors Alice Kuzniar Professor Kevin McGuirk Associate Professor Internal Members David-Antoine Williams Associate Professor Ken Hirschkop Associate Professor Internal-external Member Élise Lepage Associate Professor ii Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii Abstract This dissertation explores the concept of loss and the possibility of consolation in Wim Wenders’s The Salt of the Earth, Laurie Anderson’s Heart of a Dog and Alexander Sokurov’s Oriental Elegy through a method that inter-reads the films with poetic elegies. Schiller’s classic German elegy “Der Spaziergang” (“The Walk”) and Rainer Maria Rilke’s Duino Elegies have been used in examining The Salt of the Earth and a late Hölderlin poem “In lieblicher Bläue” (“In Lovely Blue”) is utilised in perusing Oriental Elegy. In Heart of a Dog, Rilke’s “Schwarze Katze” (“Black Cat”) and Derek Walcott’s “Oddjob, a Bull Terrier,” among others, shed light on the working of the elegiac.
