Georges Films, Synéastes Film. Photo credit: Eric Devin. The origins of this issue of Alphaville lie in collaborations between the Forced Migration Research Network (UNSW – University of New South Wales) and the Refugee Council of Australia, and in the inspiration afforded us by international colleagues and guests to Sydney (Fadma Aït Mous), Liverpool (Dennis Del Favero) and Lincoln (Hoda Afshar) universities. We have benefited from these academic alliances and invitations, but we also embrace the widest notion of hospitality, whereby the moment of arrival, the request for assistance and shelter, and subsequent decisions over citizenship and long-term residency are located in a moral environment of welcome and mutual learning. We trace and acknowledge our intellectual relationships here in so far as they have allowed us to articulate an emerging and shared recognition that refugee lived experience stands as the barometer for political civility and social health in our time. © Stephanie Hemelryk Donald, Kaya Davies Hayon, and Lucia Sorbera This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License 4 The challenge of the global collapse into conflict and authoritarianism is stark, and the work of refugee filmmakers and documentarists—and indeed those who use scholarship to draw attention to their efforts—is serious and important. This curated collection of essays, films, reflections and reviews seeks to understand the nature and extent of refugee filmmaking today, and to determine who counts as a refugee filmmaker and why.

  • Richard Fleischer
    Richard Fleischer Un grande de Hollywood No cuenten con Richard Fleischer, nacido en Brooklyn en 1916, hijo de uno de los maestros de la animación de Hollywood, el creador de Betty Boop y de Popeye, rival de Walt Disney, etc., para gemir romántica, hipócrita o inmaduramente sobre los infranqueables obstáculos a los que hay que enfrentarse cuando se lleva un nombre famoso y se ha nacido en el serrallo. (...) Se diría que el haber nacido allí acentuó sus cualidades innatas: la serenidad en las relaciones con su ego, la discreción, la modestia, una especie de equilibrio interno en su forma de trabajar, de abordar y profundizar un tema, ya se trate del más anodino o el más atroz. Incluso antes de abordar los aspectos de su obra que le señalan como autor, en el sentido estético filosófico que ese término ha adoptado en el seno de la expresión "política de los autores", conviene definirlo como el autor de una serie de hazañas, el superdotado de la puesta en escena que, en cada uno de los géneros que probó (y sabe Dios que fueron muchos) buscó consciente o inconscientemente, pero siempre con la misma paradójica humildad, regalar la película más lograda, la más increíble, la de mayor inventiva, la definitiva. Hasta el punto de que muchos espectadores que apenas conocen su nombre guardan en lo más profundo de sus recuerdos cinematográficos un lugar especial para una u otra de sus obras maestras. Citemos en revoltijo algunos de sus logros: le debemos entre otras cosas la mejor película de aventuras históricas (Los vikingos, documentada y lírica y, en su terreno, nunca superada), la mejor adaptación de Julio Verne (Veinte mil leguas de viaje submarino), una obra que es también una de las mejores películas para niños en el doble sentido del término, a saber: película que debe complacer a los niños y a los adultos.

  • Anita Kocsis Doctor of Philosophy School of Media Arts Icinema Centre for Interactive
    Co-Designing New Media Spaces Candidate: Anita Kocsis Doctor of Philosophy School of Media Arts iCinema Centre for Interactive Cinema Research University of New South Wales 2010 1 Abstract Human centred design is a design philosophy that places the human at the centre of any design program. It engages in co-design practices that rely on participatory collaboration between designer and stakeholders. This thesis investigates how making meaning in digitally augmented exhibitions can satisfy the objectives of designers and content providers through the use of human centred design principles. It contends that a reflective analysis of collaborative design processes can improve stakeholder relations and meet the diverse needs and interests of audience members. New media museum exhibits position designers to represent the research of expert content providers. However differing stakeholder visions can turn collaborative design into an incoherent, competitive process in which audience experience, digital mediation, visualisation techniques and the meaning of the work become contested territory. In this thesis two key concepts, “brokering by design”, and the audience experience, are proposed as central to understanding and improving collaborative digital design. Firstly, “brokering by design” can resolve conceptual differences where a design impasse between stakeholders (such as curator, artist, designer, historian, scientist, museum staff) presents itself. Secondly, a study of the audience experience in the digital exhibition makes visible hitherto unseen levels of social interaction and profound experiential aspects. Two Case Studies serve as the analytic foundation of this thesis and assist to address the twofold purpose of this thesis. These are: (a) the problems in the design process and; (b) the reception of the resulting exhibition by the audience.

  • Complete Film Noir
    COMPLETE FILM NOIR (1940 thru 1965) Page 1 of 18 CONSENSUS FILM NOIR (1940 thru 1959) (1960-1965) dThe idea for a COMPLETE FILM NOIR LIST came to me when I realized that I was “wearing out” a then recently purchased copy of the Film Noir Encyclopedia, 3rd edition. My initial plan was to make just a list of the titles listed in this reference so I could better plan my film noir viewing on AMC (American Movie Classics). Realizing that this plan was going to take some keyboard time, I thought of doing a search on the Internet Movie DataBase (here after referred to as the IMDB). By using the extended search with selected criteria, I could produce a list for importing to a text editor. Since that initial list was compiled almost twenty years ago, I have added additional reference sources, marked titles released on NTSC laserdisc and NTSC Region 1 DVD formats. When a close friend complained about the length of the list as it passed 600 titles, the idea of producing a subset list of CONSENSUS FILM NOIR was born. Several years ago, a DVD producer wrote me as follows: “I'd caution you not to put too much faith in the film noir guides, since it's not as if there's some Film Noir Licensing Board that reviews films and hands out Certificates of Authenticity. The authors of those books are just people, limited by their own knowledge of and access to films for review, so guidebooks on noir are naturally weighted towards the more readily available studio pictures, like Double Indemnity or Kiss Me Deadly or The Big Sleep, since the many low-budget B noirs from indie producers or overseas have mostly fallen into obscurity.” There is truth in what the producer says, but if writers of (film noir) guides haven’t seen the films, what chance does an ordinary enthusiast have.

  • 1 Modular Narratives in Contemporary Cinema
    Notes 1 Modular Narratives in Contemporary Cinema 1. Evan Smith also notes the success during the late 1990s of films featuring complex narrative structures, in terms of ‘impressive reviews, Oscar wins, and dollar-for-dollar returns’ (1999, 94). 2. Lev Manovich argues that narrative and database are two distinct and com- peting cultural forms: ‘the database represents the world as a list of items, and it refuses to order this list. In contrast, a narrative creates a cause-and-effect trajectory of seemingly unordered items (events)’ (2001b, 225). As I discuss in Chapter 2, Manovich’s argument must be qualified by an understanding of narrative’s ability to make use of the database for its own ends. 3. Manuel Castells, for example, argues that the dominant temporality of today’s ‘network society’, produced through technologization, globalization and instantaneous communication, is ‘timeless time’ (2000, 494): ‘Time is erased in the new communication system when past, present, and future can be programmed to interact with each other in the same message’ (406). 4. Ricoeur’s analysis centres upon Mann’s The Magic Mountain (1924), Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and Proust’s In Search of Lost Time (1913–27). 5. Syuzhet patterning, argues Bordwell, is medium-independent; the same pat- tern could be reproduced, for example, across literature, theatre and cinema (1985, 49). 6. In his treatment of order, duration and frequency, Bordwell is drawing upon the work of narratologist Gérard Genette. Like Bordwell, Genette distin- guishes between the narrative content (‘story’) and the way this content is organized and expressed (‘discourse’) (1980, 27).
