    Marrakech of Marrakesh – Gideon Lewis-Kraus

    Higher Atlas / Au-delà de l’Atlas – The Marrakech Biennale [4] in Context Marrakech of Marrakesh – Gideon Lewis-Kraus Marrakech from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia … known as the “Ochre city,” or the “Red city,” or the “Pink city,” depending on which guidebook you’re using, is the most important former imperial city in Morocco’s history. The city of Mar- rakech lies near the foothills of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains. It is the second-largest city in Morocco, after Casablanca. Like many North African cities, the city of Marrakech comprises both an old fortified city (the médina) and an adjacent modern city (called Gueliz) for a total population of 1,070,000. This Wikipedia page was accessed various times over the course of October and November 2011. Accord- ing to a wide array of local sources, the city’s population is approximately twice what Wikipedia claims it to be. Have you noticed the growth here? Enormous half-built luxury communities sprawl to the northeast, the east, the south. It is served by Ménara International Airport (IATE code: RAK) and a rail link to Casa- blanca and the north. On the train to Casablanca, I sat next to a middle-aged tourist guide in a rumpled black suit over an almost threadbare cream turtleneck. He wore knock-off designer eye- glasses, and was headed to Casablanca to meet a group of American tourists: he would take them around Casablanca, Rabat, Fez, Meknès, and finishing in Marrakech, where they would go shop- ping. He’d been out of work for eleven years until he started his own business as a guide.

    Investigating the Making of Cinematic Silence

    Investigating the Making of Cinematic Silence Hasmik Gasparyan PhD by Creative Practice University of York Theatre, Film and Television June 2019 Abstract Despite extensive research on the notion of silence across a wide range of disciplines (music, philosophy, literature, architecture, theology) little is known about silence in film. The key concerns in the published literature on the topic are the relative nature of cinematic silence and its intrinsic connection to sound. This research will study directorial approaches applied by selected filmmakers in the construction and use of cinematic silence. It will then explore, through the design and production of the creative practice pieces submitted (a short and a feature-length documentary film), the notion of cinematic silence as a strong narrative device that can contribute to the representation of human experience and bring attention to questions related to cinematic language. 2 Table of Contents Abstract 2 Table of Contents 3 List of Figures 6 List of Accompanying Material 7 Acknowledgments 8 Author’s Declaration 9 1.
