  • Bamcinématek Presents Joe Dante at the Movies, 18 Days of 40 Genre-Busting Films, Aug 5—24
    BAMcinématek presents Joe Dante at the Movies, 18 days of 40 genre-busting films, Aug 5—24 “One of the undisputed masters of modern genre cinema.” —Tom Huddleston, Time Out London Dante to appear in person at select screenings Aug 5—Aug 7 The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Jul 18, 2016/Brooklyn, NY—From Friday, August 5, through Wednesday, August 24, BAMcinématek presents Joe Dante at the Movies, a sprawling collection of Dante’s essential film and television work along with offbeat favorites hand-picked by the director. Additionally, Dante will appear in person at the August 5 screening of Gremlins (1984), August 6 screening of Matinee (1990), and the August 7 free screening of rarely seen The Movie Orgy (1968). Original and unapologetically entertaining, the films of Joe Dante both celebrate and skewer American culture. Dante got his start working for Roger Corman, and an appreciation for unpretentious, low-budget ingenuity runs throughout his films. The series kicks off with the essential box-office sensation Gremlins (1984—Aug 5, 8 & 20), with Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates. Billy (Galligan) finds out the hard way what happens when you feed a Mogwai after midnight and mini terrors take over his all-American town. Continuing the necessary viewing is the “uninhibited and uproarious monster bash,” (Michael Sragow, New Yorker) Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990—Aug 6 & 20). Dante’s sequel to his commercial hit plays like a spoof of the original, with occasional bursts of horror and celebrity cameos. In The Howling (1981), a news anchor finds herself the target of a shape-shifting serial killer in Dante’s take on the werewolf genre.

  • Tarnished Angels
    The Dark Vision of Douglas Sirk 38 NOIR CITY I SPRING 2016 I filmnoirfoundation.org Imogen Sara Smith n a hot night in New Orleans, in a half-lit, elegantly shabby apartment, two troubled souls share a bottle of cheap wine and an intimate, confessional conversation. Next door, a raucous costume party is in full swing, revelers dancing like hopped-up zombies to relentless Dixieland jazz. The man and woman speak tenderly about betrayals and disillusion- O ment, building to a kiss that is jarringly interrupted by Death— a guy in a leering skull mask who bursts in from the party. This scene, from Douglas Sirk’s underappreciated drama The Tarnished Angels (1958), dramatizes one of the director’s key themes: people struggling for authentic connection, surrounded by an oppressive, sinister masquerade of happi- ness. Sirk is best known for baroquely stylized Technicolor melodramas, once dismissed as sudsy kitsch but now embraced by many cinephiles for their formalist rigor and their subversive notes of unease. The work of a European intellectual often saddled with projects he disdained, Sirk’s films are complex, oblique, and visually incisive. One of the few German refugee filmmakers who didnot specialize in film noir, Sirk shared his fellow exiles’ gimlet eye for his adopted country. His lush melodramas strike a dissonant note, resonating from the hollowness behind the false front of the American “good life.” Like his sophisticated noir films of the 1940s, they reveal an insatiable hunger bred by idealized visions of plenty, and the paradoxical seduc- tion of death in a willfully complacent society.

[email protected] ABSTRACT The main film adaptations of the literary production of the American playwright Tennessee Williams premiered in 1950 through 1968, and they settled in the melodrama. These films contributed to the thematic evolution of Hollywood due to the gradual dissolution of the Hays Code of censorship and, furthermore, they determined the path of this genre toward more passionate and sordid aspects. Thus, A Streetcar Named Desire, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, or Suddenly, Last Summer incorporated sexual or psychological issues through tormented characters that had not been previously dealt with in the cinema.

  • “Uma Criação Falsa”: Nódoas No Mundo Lustroso De Imitação De Vida
    TEIXEIRA, A. J. “A False Creation” - Stain in the glossy world of imitation of life “A F ALSE CREATION” – STAINS IN THE GLOSSY WORLD OF IMITATION OF LIFE “Uma criação falsa”: nódoas no mundo lustroso de imitação de vida. Antonio João Teixeira* In his two-volume comprehensive The Story of Cinema, David Shipman dismisses most of Douglas Sirk’s highly regarded films. In Magnificent Obsession (1954), according to Shipman, “the locations, the colour, the fashions, the furnishings, the emotions are ‘beautiful’ – but plastic- wrapped, as attractive as sandwiches in an airport lounge (929)”. As to Written on the Wind (1957), he says that “the piece is flat, slick and characterless, but not badly made (929)”. Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s Martha is described by Shipman as “a re-vamping of Sirk’s Sleep, My Love and an excellent example of the second-rate imitating the third-rate (1157)”. Shipman does not make any direct comments on All That Heaven Allows (1955), The Tarnished Angels (1958), and Imitation of Life (1959), Sirk’s last film. But he indirectly refers to the latter when he discusses its first version and also the first version of Magnificent Obsession. Shipman thinks neither Imitation of Life (1934) nor Magnificent Obsession (1935), John M. Stahl’s versions which preceded Douglas Sirk’s, “would seem to appeal to anyone of mature mind for more than a few minutes – and that certainly applies to the remade versions of the Fifties (423)”. Jon Halliday, who published Sirk on Sirk, a series of interviews with the filmmaker, said that “as a film director, he [Sirk] was virtually ignored by the ‘serious’ critics, and until fairly recently written off as a purely commercial director of melodramas” (925).

  • American Heritage Center
    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.

An international selection of artworks made for broadcast, the exhibi- tion documents the crossovers and collaborations that take place on this new television, between and among dancers, musicians, play- wrights, actors, authors, poets, and visual and video artists . And it investigates the artists' own investigation of one medium -- be it dance or music or literature -- through another . It examines the transformations video makes and the possibilities it allows . These provocative uses of television time and technology are organized in THE ARTS FOR TELEVISION according to the medium transformed by the electronic image ; the six categories are Dance for Television, Music for Television, Theatre for Television, Literature for Television, The Video Image (works that address video as a visual art, that make reference to the traditional visual arts and to seeing itself), and Not Necessarily Television (works that address the usual content of TV, and transform it) . The ARTS FOR TELEVISION also presents another level of collaboration in artists' television . It documents the involvement of television stations in Europe and America with art and artists' video . It recognizes their commitment and acknowledges the risks they take in allowing artists the opportunity to realize works of art .

  • “Very Little Wrist Movement”: Rock Hudson Acts out Sexual Heterodoxy
    “Very Little Wrist Movement”: Rock Hudson Acts Out Sexual Heterodoxy Tamar Jeffers McDonald Oxford Brookes University Abstract: Hollywood films of the late 1950s obsessed over the idea of virginity, seeking to render it externally through acting style. Generally virginities thus spectacularized are female: male virginity belongs to the man’s past. When found, therefore, the male virgin is inevitably established as both a comic figure and a fake. Rock Hudson performances remove such assurances, however: in Pillow Talk he plays a womanizer and a potential virgin. Hudson usually offers a performance dichotomy, with the heterodox sexualities evoked by movement, the traditional male calm and still: Man’s Favorite Sport? (1964), however, reverses this trope and makes the calm, experienced, persona the fake. Résumé : Les films vers la fin des années 50 étaient obsédés par l’idée de la vir- ginité, cherchant à l’exprimer extérieurement, à travers un style de jeu particuli- er. Généralement, ces vierges étaient représentés par des femmes : la virginité masculine appartenant au passé d’un homme. L’homme vierge est inévitable- ment représenté comme un caractère comique et faux. Les performances de Rock Hudson éliminent ces assurances, par contre: dans Pillow Talk il joue le rôle d’un joueur qui a le potentiel d’être vierge. Hudson nous offre une dichotomie de per- formance : les sexualitiés hétérodoxes sont évoqués par mouvement ; le mas- culinité traditionnelle est calme, immobile. Mais Man’s Favorite Sport? (1964) renverse ce trope et fait l’homme calme, expérimenté, l’article truqué. Keywords: Media/Mass media; Feminist/Gender; History Introduction Oscar Levant enjoyed claiming he had been around Hollywood so long, he “knew Doris Day before she became a virgin” (1965, p.

January 14, 1987, Lugano, Switzerland by Tom Ryan Tom Ryan is film critic for The Sunday Age and a Melbourne-based commentator on film. filmography bibliography web resources Your characters have to remain innocent of what your picture is after. – Douglas Sirk (1) Douglas Sirk was one of the 20th century cinema's great ironists. And perhaps the most distinctive characteristic of the films he made in Europe and America is the way they are able to create a gulf between how his characters see themselves and our view of them. Sirk's characters grapple with the same problems that have always afflicted men and women and parents and children, to do with love, death and social circumstance. In some cases, they do so in a world of melodrama – as in films as various as Schlussakkord (1936), La Habanera (1937), There's Always Tomorrow (1955) and Imitation of Life (1958). In others, it's a world of colour and music – as in the trio of comedy-musicals he made during the 1950s, Has Anybody Seen My Gal? (1951), Meet Me at the Fair (1952) and Take Me to Town (1952), part of a series he had planned about small town America. In others, it's the excitement of mystery, romance or adventure – in films such as Lured (1946), Taza, Son of Cochise (1953, shot in 3-D) and Captain Lightfoot (1954).
