  • Kriegsfilm Am Balkan Milcho Manchevski 'Before the Rain' Mit
    Das große Thema von Schuld und Sühne und die ewige Suche nach der wahren Identität des Menschen. Die großen Mythen des Wilden Balkan – welches sind ihre Rollen, ihre Metaphern und ihre Propagandawirkung in den Medien. Fragen zur Identität- und Identitätsbildung, die Figur eines homo balcanicus, der ein Stereotyp für einen auferlegten Selbstexotismus in Kultur und Film ist, werden behandelt. Verschiedene Zugänge werden anhand der bedeutendsten filme ihrer Epochen durchleuchtet. Im Zentrum der Analyse steht jedoch der Film Before the Rain des mazedonischen Regisseurs Milcho Manchevski der die zuvor aufgegriffenen Fragen zum Großteil im Film behandelt. Before the Rain ist durchzogen von einer Radikalität und einer kriegerischen Atmosphäre, di ein den letzten Jahren am Balkan geherrscht hat, dennoch ist es kein Film über den Krieg sonder zeigt den Menschen im permanenten Konflikt mit den Leben aber vor allem mit dem Konflikt mit sich selbst. Wörter führen zu Unstimmigkeiten und Konflikten. Die Stille hingegen spricht die Sprache der Liebe. Es ist die unaufhörliche Rückkehr zu den ewigen Themen, Liebe und Tod.

Ellis Auditorium Course Syllabus, Spring 2017 READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY! Welcome to the Spring Cinema Series… a unique opportunity to learn about cinema in an interdisciplinary, cinematheque-style environment open to the general public! Throughout the term we will invite a variety of special guests to enrich your understanding of the films in the series. The films will be preceded by formal introductions and followed by public discussions. You are welcome and encouraged to bring guests throughout the term! This is not a traditional class, therefore it is important for you to review the course assignments and due dates carefully to ensure that you fulfill all the requirements to earn the grade you desire. We want the Cinema Series to be both entertaining and enlightening for students and community alike. Welcome to our college film club! COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will introduce students to one of the most powerful cultural and social communications media of our time: cinema. The successful student will become more aware of the complexity of film art, more sensitive to its nuances, textures, and rhythms, and more perceptive in “reading” its multilayered blend of image, sound, and motion. The films, texts, and classroom materials will cover a broad range of domestic, independent, and international cinema, making students aware of the culture, politics, and social history of the periods in which the films were produced.

  • ENGLISH DOSSIER DE PRESSE Stanley Kubrick
    “If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed. A director is a kind of idea and taste machine ; a movie is a series of creative and technical decisions, and it‘s the director‘s job to make the right decisions as frequently as possible.” EDITORIAL Our flagship exhibition in 2011 is devoted to Stanley Kubrick (from 23 March to 31 July). It is the first time that La Cinémathèque française hosts a travelling exhibition not initiated by our teams but by those of another institution. This Kubrick exhibition owes its existence to the Deutsches Filmmuseum in Frankfurt and to Hans- Peter Reichmann, its Curator, who designed it in 2004 in close collaboration with Christiane Kubrick, Jan Harlan and The Stanley Kubrick Archive in London. Since 2004, the exhibition has opened with success in several cities: Berlin, Zurich, Gand, Rome and Melbourne, before coming to the Cinémathèque. The archives of Stanley Kubrick contain numerous and precious working documents: scenarios, correspondences, research documents, photos of film shoots, costumes and accessories. The exhibition, film after film, includes the unfinished projects: the Napoleon that Kubrick hoped to direct and his project for a film on the death camps, Aryan Papers . These materials allow us to get backstage and better understand the narrative and technical intentions of the director who was a demigod of world cinema, a secret and fascinating figure. The exhibition will be installed on two floors of the Frank Gehry building, on the 5 th and 7 th storeys, owing to the bulk of the materials exhibited, including large-scale models and interactive digital installations.

About Tearless Tearless is a 360 3D immersive VR project on “US comfort women,”* forced by the South Korean government to serve US soldiers in camp towns outside the US military bases. Using immersive media technology, this project focuses on these women’s memories within a detainment center called “Monkey House”—a prison established by the South Korean government and staffed by the US military in the 1970s to isolate and treat comfort women with STDs. * NOTE: While the term “comfort women” has been associated with the Japanese imperial army’s use of sexual slavery before and during the World War 2, it is now increasingly understood more generally as instances of government forced prostitution as seen in a recent decision by the Seoul High Court.

    The Promotion of US Campaign of War on Terrorism in Indonesia through Hollywood Action and War Films: A Case Study of Indonesia – US Bilateral Relations (2006 – 2013) By Tommy Surya Pradana ID No. 016201100081 A Thesis presented to the Faculty of Humanities President University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of Bachelor Degree in International Relations Major in Diplomacy 2015 i ii iii Abstrak Industri perfilman Amerika Serikat (Hollywood) dipercaya berperngaruh besar terhadap pembentukan opini masyarakat dunia karena produk-produk filmnya yang tersebar luas secara global dengan jumlah yang berlimpah dan bahkan sudah menjadi standar hiburan tersendiri bagi khalayak luas, terutama di Indonesia. Banyaknya pengambilan tema tentang terorisme serta penggambaran eksplisit terkait isu-isu terorisme di dalam film-film Hollywood bergenre action dan war membuat penulis tertarik untuk melakukan penelitian tentang bagaimana film-film ini mempromosikan kampanye Amerika Serikat dalam perang melawan terorisme di Indonesia. Dalam melakukan studi ini, penulis menggunakan teori diplomasi publik sebagai kerangka teoretis. Penulis mengambil kasus-kasus terkait Hollywood, Indonesia, Amerika Serikat, dan terorisme yang terjadi pada tahun 2006-2013 sebagai ruang lingkup dan keterbatasan penelitian. Berdasarkan hasil yang didapat, bisa disimpulkan bahwa Hollywood berperan cukup besar dalam membentuk opini masyarakat Indonesia dengan menggambarkan kekejaman, kegilaan, dan kebrutalan para teroris yang tidak dapat dibenarkan oleh alasan apapun dalam

URL : http:// journals.openedition.org/essais/646 ; DOI : 10.4000/essais.646 Essais Stanley Kubrick at the Interface of film and television Matthew Melia During his keynote address at the 2016 conference Stanley Kubrick: A Retrospective1 Jan Harlan2 announced that Napoleon, Kubrick’s great unrea- lised project3 would finally be produced, as a HBO TV mini-series, directed by Cary Fukunaga (True Detective, HBO) and executively produced by Steven Spielberg. He also suggested that had Kubrick survived into the 21st century he would not only have chosen TV as a medium to work in, he would also have contributed to the contemporary post-millennium zeitgeist of cinematic TV drama. There has been little news on the development of the project since and we are left to speculate how this cinematic spectacle eventually may (or may not) turn out on the “small screen”. Alison Castle’s monolithic edited collection of research and production material surrounding Napoleon4 gives some idea of the scale, ambition and problematic nature of re-purposing such a momen- tous project for television.
