Underground (1995) Y Gato Negro, Gato Blanco (1998), Dos Importantes Obras Históricas Del Maestro Emir Kusturica
José María Caparrós Lera 791.44.071.1:929 Kusturica E. https://doi.org/10.18485/ai_most.2017.ch1 Universidad de Barcelona [email protected] UNDERGROUND (1995) Y GATO NEGRO, GATO BLANCO (1998), DOS IMPORTANTES OBRAS HISTÓRICAS DEL MAESTRO EMIR KUSTURICA Esta ponencia es una valoración artística de las dos películas con las que el maestro Emir Kururica cerró el siglo XX, pues el más importante cineasta serbio establece con Underground (1995) y Gato negro, gato blanco (1998) un original puente entre la literatura, la historia y la cinematografía. Asimismo, Kusturica ofrece un análisis metafórico sobre la evolución de un país diezmado, al tiempo que realiza un agudo estudio de mentalidades populares y del mundo gitano, un tanto deudor de otros maestros del cine -como él mismo reconoce-, pero sin dejar de tener su propia personalidad creadora. Palabras clave : Emir Kusturica, ex-Yugoslavia, gitanos, metáforas, in#uencias fílmicas. Aunque por razones de salud no he podido participar per- sonalmente en el Congreso Internacional Cientí$co Andrić- grad (2016) organizado por el Departamento de Literatura, еl Departamento de Orientalística y el Departamento de Histo - ria del Instituto Andrić en Višegrad (República Srpska), bajo el título El puente en la literatura, la historia y la cinematogra - fía , me gustaría estar de algún modo presente con mi valora- ción crítica de sendas películas del maestro Emir Kusturica, Director del Instituto Andrić; dos obras importantes con las que cerró el siglo XX. 8 José María Caparrós Lera 1. Underground “Había una vez un país...”. Con esta frase, Kusturica cuenta la historia de la ex-Yugoslavia, entre 1941 y 1991. -
Cci3 Literature 1421 Projective Identification
CCI3 LITERATURE PROJECTIVE IDENTIFICATION WITH THE ROMA PEOPLE IN BALKAN FILMS Puskás-Bajkó Albina, PhD Student, ”Petru Maior” University of Tîrgu Mureș Abstract: In the cinema of the Balkans Roma people are present at every step. As these films were not directed by Roma specialists, one has the tendency to ask the question: how true are these figures to the real Roma nature and behaviour? And very important: what can we account this ongoing interest in Gipsy culture and life for? Is it curiosity about what seems to otherwise be despised by people or could it possibly be the so-called “projective identification”, an expression extensively used by Jacques Lacan in psychoanalysis? The figure of the Gipsy is omnipresent in the history of Balkan cinema. The first ever Balkan film, shown in foreign countries too was about them: In Serbia: A Gypsy Marriage (1911), the first ever Gypsy film to enter and win an international film festival was from the former Yugoslavia: I Even Met Happy Gypsies (1967), directed by Aleksander Petrovic. It won the “Grand Prix Special”. The image of the Gipsy was, however presented by the non-Roma film-directors in these films. “Rather than being given the chance to portray themselves, the Romani people have routinely been depicted by others. The persistent cinematic interest in “Gypsies” has repeatedly raised questions of authenticity versus stylization, and of patronization and exoticization, in a context marked by overwhelming ignorance of the true nature of Romani culture and heritage. ” Dina Iordanova, Cinematic Images of Romanies, in Framework, Introduction, no. 6 Keywords: Projection, Balkans, Romani, film, foreign, mentality. -

The Storied Yugoslavia
THE STORIED YUGOSLAVIA: A DIALOGUE OF MYTHISTORY, POWER, AND STORIED YUGOSLAV NATIONAL CONTEXT IN IVO ANDRIĆ’S THE BRIDGE ON THE DRINA (1945/1959) AND EMIR KUSTURICA’S UNDERGROUND (1995) MILANA M. BODIROGA A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES YORK UNIVERISTY TORONTO, ONTARIO May 2013 © Milana M. Bodiroga, 2013 ii Abstract This thesis examines a dialogue between two texts meant to contribute to the mythistory (Aleksić, 2007) and what I term the storied context of the second Yugoslav Experiment (1945-1995). From within the lens of my own diasporic context, I juxtapose Ivo Andrić’s novel The Bridge on the Drina (1945/1959), published at the nation’s outset, against Emir Kusturica’s film Underground (1995), produced at Yugoslavia’s failing end. I analyze the thematic connections and ideological constraints to the conversation between these two texts by establishing the parameters of both Kusturica’s successful and unsuccessful attempts to engage Andrić’s novel. A template for the continued overlaying of “discrepant voices” (Said, 1993) is revealed for further examination both backward into the mythistories of the Southwest Slavs of the Balkans and forward into the construction of storied contexts in the former Yugoslav states. Finally, a discussion of the influence of the West’s own imaginary of the former Yugoslavia and its influence of contextualizing stories of the same is also examined. iii Table of Contents Abstract………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..i Table of Contents…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………ii Introduction………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..1 Who I Am ................................................................................................................................................. 5 Telling Me Who I Am .............................................................................................................................. -

CLoK Central Lancashire online Knowledge www.clok.uclan.ac.uk Dušan Makavejev (1932-2019) Before the successes of Emir Kusturica, Dušan Makavejev was the best known director from Yugoslavia. Some of his enthusiasts regarded him as one of the leading figures of European film modernism, alongside such directors as Jean-Luc Godard and Miklós Jancsó. He was one of those innovators of the 1960s, who broke with the stale cinema dominating their countries in the previous decades. Others admired him for breaking social taboos, especially those regarding sexual behaviour. Finally, some saw him principally as a political filmmaker, engaged with Marxism, in a way which was typical for Yugoslav cinema of the 1960s and 1970s, but rare in other socialist countries, largely because the Yugoslav version of socialism was more democratic and open to criticism, as demonstrated by the work of Praxis philosophers from Belgrade and Zagreb. -

1 the Road Movie Spring 2005 Professor Karen
1 The Road Movie Spring 2005 Professor Karen Beckman Office: Jaffe 209 Office hours: Tuesday 2-4pm Email: [email protected] Screenings: Wednesday Jaffe 201, 7pm Course Description In this course we will study the changing shape of the Road Movie genre over the course of the twentieth century. Though our primary focus will be on international adaptations of the genre since the 1960s, we will historicize the modern permutations of the genre by beginning with a consideration of the simultaneous emergence of moving pictures and high-speed forms of transportation. In addition to considering the limits and possibilities of genre as a category of analysis, we will grapple with a number of questions that will persist throughout the course: What is the relationship between cinema and the automobile? Is the road trip a peculiarly American fantasy, and what happens when non- US filmmakers adopt the genre? How does gender emerge as a concern of this genre? What role do urban and rural spaces play in shaping the journeys attempted within these films? What kinds of border-crossings does this genre enact or prohibit? And finally, do the often-radical fantasies of characters within this genre necessarily translate into films with radical politics? Required Books (available at Penn Book Center, corner of Walnut and 34th, and on reserve at Rosengarten, Van Pelt Library, with screened movies): David Laderman, Driving Visions: Exploring the Road Movie (Austin: U of Texas P, 2002) Steven Cohan and Ina Rae Hark, eds., The Road Movie Book (London and New York: Routledge, 1997) Paul Virilio, The Art of the Motor (Minneapolis: U of Minnesota P, 1995) (recommended) Lynne Kirby, Parallel Tracks: The Railroad and Silent Cinema (Durham: Duke UP, 1997) All other readings will be available on electronic reserve on course Blackboard site. -
Grandes Del Cine Para Los 60 Años De Cannes
Santiago de Chile, viernes 20 de abril de 2007, actualizado a las 6:20 hrs. Viernes 20 de abril de 2007 El festival de cine más importante del mundo: Grandes del cine para los 60 años de Cannes Fernando Zavala Cineastas como los hermanos Coen, Gus Van Sant o Emir Kusturica, ganadores de la Palma de Oro, vuelven al certamen. La presencia de Chile será particularmente fuerte. El documental "Calle Santa Fe" competirá en Una Cierta Mirada. FERNANDO ZAVALA Son 60 años y el programa de la nueva versión del Festival de Cine de Cannes debía estar a la altura. Ayer, el anuncio hecho en París por el histórico presidente del certamen, Giles Jacob, cumplió con las expectativas: una importante carga de pesos pesados celebrarán las seis décadas del certamen más importante del mundo, que se realizará en la riviera francesa entre el 16 y el 27 de mayo. 1 Reencuentros. De las 22 películas que compiten por la Palma de Oro, el premio máximo del Festival, trece pertenecen a cineastas que nunca han estado en esa sección. A cambio, de las nueve restantes, cuatro son dirigidas por cineastas que ya han obtenido el codiciado trofeo. Los hermanos Joel y Ethan Coen, verdaderos consentidos del evento, que en 1991 triunfaron con "Barton Fink", compiten ahora con "No country for old men", un thriller con Tommy Lee Jones y Javier Bardem. También están Quentin Tarantino (ganador con "Tiempos violentos") con "Death proof" y Gus Van Sant ("Elefante") con "Paranoid park". El bosnio Emir Kusturica, dos veces ganador ("Papá salió en viaje de negocios" y "Underground"), compite una vez más con "Promise me this". -

FOSE Tour 2017. Serbia is a state in southeastern Europe, located in the central part of the Balkans peninsula. Serbia has an area of 77 474 km² (88 499 including Kosovo). This makes Sebia a bit smaller than Svealand. And about the same size as Götaland – Kosovo included. The capital is Belgrade, with 1.6 million inhabitants. The neighboring countries to Serbia are: Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia - Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Romania and Kosovo. The Swedish trip. Participants: Monica and Olle Alsén, Lena and Torsten Gehlert, Catharina (Kiki) Hall, Sven (Jöns) Jansson, Rita Kegel, Björn and Eva Lundgren, Harriet Jonasson Lövgren. Everyone arrived at noon Saturday, October 7th. We spent the afternoon discovering Begrade. Some visited the Kalemegdan Park and the Begrade Fortress from which you get a very nice view of the city. Most of us had dinner at a restaurant by the Sava River. We stayed at Hotel Jump Inn. Sunday, October, 8th We were picked up by our driver (Zoran) at our hotel and drove southwest to Valjevo. It was a busy Sunday afternoon in Valjevo. A huge market caused a traffic jam but our driver managed to convince the traffic policeman to let us trough to our restaurant. We had a loooooooooooooong and tasty lunch. We continued south to Užice and our next hotel. Hotel Zlatiborska Noc, surrounded by woods. An ideal place for an outdoor holiday. Monday, October, 9th At breakfast we met our local guide, Djops Koni – call me “Djops” (pronounced Jobs). We travelled west and our first stop is at one of the stations of the “Eastern Railway”, build by the former Austria- Hungary in 1906.
