The idyll is disrup- ted by the visit of her old friend and his provocative and seductive daughter Penelope. The disjointed foursome is having fun at first, enjoying the beautiful Italian countryside. But tension starts to slowly creep into the days full of sunshine. The shadows of the past awaken in the seeming friends dark sides. The joy of pleasant encounter turns into an atmosphere full of hidden passions, distrust, suspi- 13.9. 2017_ 20:00 cion and jealousy.

Chen Zhen, a young student from Beijing, is sent to Inner Mongolia to educate a tribe of nomadic shepherds. But it is in fact Chen who has a lot to learn – about life in this vast, hostile, and breathtaking land, about the notion of community, liberty, and responsibility, and about the most feared and venerated creature of the steppes, the wolf.

Italian directors that worked in the giallo genre • Mario Bava • Lamberto Bava • Pupi Avati • Sergio Corbucci • Lucio Fulci • Carlo Lizzani • Elio Petri • Luigi Zampa Giallo outside of Italy This breed of slasher flick has influenced American directors: Brian De Palma, Dressed to Kill (1980) John Carpenter, Halloween (1978) Wes Craven, Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) Suspiria (1977) • Eerie tale of a naïve American ballet student who attends a haunted school in Freiburg, southern Germany • Mixes the vocabulary of the giallo genre with art-film surrealist esthetics • Has become a cult film – 2-DVD Criterion edition • Argento used the standard formula for giallo, more interested in how the movie feels & looks & sounds than in the story.

CSUN Cinematheque Friday, April 6 at 7 Pm Armer Theater Screening
CSUN Cinematheque Friday, April 6 at 7 pm Armer Theater Screening Room Manzanita Hall 100 An evening with David Kajganich, writer and producer Showrunner of the AMC miniseries The Terror Premiered on March 26, 2018, on Amazon Prime Screening of Episodes 1 and 2 Free and open to the public About the Series Written by David Kajganich (True Story, A Bigger Splash), who also serves as co-showrunner with Soo Hugh (The Whispers, The Killing), this 10-episode series is set in the 1840s, when a Royal Naval expedition crew searching for the Northwest Passage is attacked by a mysterious predator that stalks the ships and their crew in a suspenseful and desperate game of survival. Its point of departure is the story of the ill-fated Franklin expedition and its two ships, the Terror and the Erebus, caught in the Artic ice, and only recently discovered. The series stars Ciarán Hinds (Bleed for This, Game of Thrones, Red Sparrow) as Captain John Franklin, Tobias Menzies (Game of Thrones, Outlander) and Jared Harris (The Crown, Mad Men). It has been executive produced by Ridley Scott (Blade Runner 2049), David W. Zucker (The Man in the High Castle), and Guymon Cassady (Game of Thrones). The miniseries is based on the novel The Terror, by Dan Simmons, published to critical acclaim in 2006. David Kajganich has noted that the “novel is that rare combination of fascinating actual history, ground- breaking genre storytelling, and the complex character work of literature. He added that “the chance to launch a series that incorporates all of these elements going forward, and with a team of this caliber, is extraordinary”.

Allegory, Allegoresis, and Suspiria
JULIAN MURPHET Allegory, Allegoresis, and Suspiria Is ours an especially allegorical age? Do we routinely—if not automatically— reach for further levels of meaning behind every cultural datum? It is a time of excruciating literalness, to be sure, each passing year seeming to diminish the shared connotational repertoire to some bare minimum of available reference points, as the total mass and weave of “text” (now superabundantly audio-visual and digital) exceeds any capacity for collective, let alone individual, incorporation. 1 That sheer proliferation of cultural material, its unstoppable differentiation and diffusion, may well occultly call out for higher-order synthesis and reunification—as if, reassembled aright, the innumerable pieces might be seen to spell out a tale of the tribe. But efforts at doing so—like Propp’s Russian folktales, Levi-Strauss’s “pensée sauvage,” Barthes’s Mythologies, or Aby Warburg’s Atlas Mnemosyne—are thin on the ground these days; testimony, no doubt, to the impossible scale of the task. Here, indeed, allegory suggests itself as a working solution to the acephalous and multiplying infinity of cultural “stuff” in an ethno-religiously diverse, ever-expanding world population, as some of us desperately strive to work from each centrifugally charged fragment towards a usable collective reservoir of sense. Often enough, of course, the task is done for us by a marketplace of gratifying capital-intensive artefacts whose master code is the prevalent one of surplus value: our attention to the object, and the price of admission, amounting to the not-so- elusive meaning itself. The allegory here catches us in its web and demotes the “literal level” of the text to a mere prop within a ubiquitous cultural drama, namely consumption.

Luca Guadagnino Regis Dialogue Formatted
Luca Guadagnino Dialogue with Scott Foundas, 2019 Scott Foundas: We're here at the Walker Art Center for a dialogue with Luca Guadagnino. Tonight's program is entitled Luca Guadagnino: Love and Horror, in which I'll talk with Luca about his remarkable career as a filmmaker. Scott Foundas: Luca Guadagnino was already 38 when I Am Love, his breakthrough feature, screened at Lincoln Center in MOMA's New Directors, New Films festival in New York, though he had already been working in film for a decade, with two narrative features, several documentaries and shorts to his credit. But I Am Love felt like a debut, announcing a director drunk on the possibilities of cinema and in total command of the medium. It was a dizzying rush of images, sounds, sense, textures and tastes, all meticulously choreographed by cinematographer Yorick Le Saux's pirouetting camera and scored to the adagio strings of composer John Adams. Above all, there was Tilda Swinton, Guadagnino's frequent collaborator, glorious as the wife of a wealthy businessman who finds herself falling for the charms of a much younger chef. Scott Foundas: Guadagnino's films pulsate with such currents of longing and desire, which sweep the characters helplessly towards both freedom and loss. Whether it's the decadent British rock star and her entourage baking under the Pantellerian sun in A Bigger Splash, or the American ex-pat family in Crema hosting a summer visitor in the Oscar-winning Call Be My Your Name. Even Guadagnino's latest, Suspiria, an ostensible foray into the horror genre, is, at heart, very much a darkly romantic melodrama, in which the stirrings of the heart prove to be the most powerful witchcraft of all.
