    CINÉMA PROGRAMME Programmation de films muets en ciné-concert Visites Centre de recherche • Galerie des collections Visites guidées • Galerie des appareils Fondation Jérôme Seydoux-Pathé Josef von Sternberg, l’américain du 25 septembre au 18 octobreN°09 2019 73 avenue des Gobelins, 75013 Paris - 01 83 79 18 96 / www.fondation-jeromeseydoux-pathe.com Josef von Sternberg, l’américain du 25 septembre au 18 octobre 2019 La Fondation Jérôme Seydoux-Pathé revient sur les premiers pas de la carrière de Josef von Sternberg et plonge dans l'univers de ses films muets, d'une rare intensité. Cycle proposé et conçu par Théo Esparon, historien et programmateur, doctorant à l’Université Paris-Nanterre. Loin d’être seulement l’immigré autrichien sévère que l’on a bien voulu décrire, Josef von Sternberg fit ses premiers pas dans les studios de Fort Lee où il travaille avec les réalisateurs Emile Chautard et Maurice Tourneur. Après quelques épisodiques voyages à Londres, Berlin et Vienne, il réalise son premier film « The Salvation Hunters » en 1925, Theun Ring film © British écrit Film comme Institute une fable qui plonge dans la boue du port de San Pedro. C’est Chaplin qui, le premier, applaudit son travail ; il l’invite à écrire un scénario pour Mary Pickford et produit son film suivant, le seul pour lequel il n’est ni acteur ni réalisateur, « A Woman of The Sea ». Le premier film est abandonné et le second sera finalement détruit. La carrière de Sternberg, émaillée de faux départs, éclaire une histoire méconnue du cinéma. Elle naît dans le berceau cosmopolite de New York, se poursuit vers l’Ouest, croise la création de la Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer et le montage de la « Symphonie nuptiale » (« The Wedding March », 1928) d’Erich von Stroheim et s’assoit enfin à la Paramount avec l’immense succès des « Nuits de Chicago » (« Underworld », 1927).

  • Mujer Fatal» En El Ángel Azul (Der Blaue Engel, 1930), De Josef Von Sternberg1
    NORBA-ARTE, ISSN 0213-2214, vol. XXVI (2006) / 177-200 FUENTES DEL MITO DE LA «MUJER faTAL» EN EL ÁNGEL AZUL (DER BLAUE ENGEL, 1930), DE JOSEF VON STERNBERG1 Angélica GarCÍA Manso Resumen La interrelación que tiene lugar entre el Cine y las demás Artes encuentra uno de sus ejem- plos más logrados en el filme El Ángel Azul (Der Blaue Engel), dirigido en 1930 por Josef von Sternberg. El cineasta austríaco, que convierte su película en heredera del mito finisecular de la «mujer fatal», recurre a dos tipos diferentes de fuentes para crear a su inmortal personaje de Lola-Lola: de un lado, la Literatura, puesto que Sternberg parte de una novela de Heinrich Mann para desarrollar su guión; de otro, la Iconografía, al aplicar a la protagonista femenina de su largometraje diversos iconos del imaginario occidental que quedaron vinculados al arquetipo de la femme fatale en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. Palabras clave: Historia del cine, cine y su relación con las demás artes, Josef von Sternberg, El Ángel Azul, «mujer fatal», iconografía. Abstract The Blue Angel (Der Blaue Engel, 1930), by Josef von Sternberg, is a good example of the connection between Cinema and the other Arts. The Austrian filmmaker, who turns his film into a heir of the femme fatale myth, resorts to two different types of sources in order to cre- ate his unforgettable character of Lola-Lola: on the one hand, the Literature, since Sternberg got inspiration from a novel by Heinrich Mann for developing his script; on the other hand, the Iconography, because he applies to the female main character several icons from the western collective imaginary which were associated with the archetype of the femme fatale on the second half of 19th century.

The time-frame has been selected for two reasons: (1) actresses active after 1870 have been the subject of several dissertations and scholarly studies, while relatively little research has been completed on women active on the American stage prior to 1870, and (2) prior to 1850 there was limited theatre activity in this country and very few professional actresses. A general description of mid-nineteenth-century theatre and its social context is provided, including a summary of major developments in theatre in New York and other cities from 1850 to 1870, discussions of the star system, the combination company, and the mid-century audience.

  • Probablemente El Diablo: El Terror Elíptico De La Séptima Víctima
    PROBABLEMENTE EL DIABLO: EL TERROR ELÍPTICO DE LA SÉPTIMA VÍCTIMA Francisco García Gómez Universidad de Málaga RESUMEN La séptima víctima, la primera película dirigida por Mark Robson, constituye un magnífico ejemplo de la concepción del terror que tenía el productor Val Lewton. Su cuarto filme para la RKO, el primero no dirigido por Jacques Tourneur, pone de manifiesto que Lewton era el auténtico responsable de su ciclo fantástico. PALABRAS CLAVE: RKO, Val Lewton, Mark Robson, serie B, terror, satanismo, paladismo. ABSTRACT «Probably the Devil: The Elliptical Terror in The Seventh Victim». The Seventh Victim, first film directed by Mark Robson, is a magnificent example of the producer Val Lewton’s terror concept. His fourth RKO film, the first without Jacques Tourneur, reveals that Lewton was the genuine responsible of his fantastic cycle. KEY WORDS : RKO, Val Lewton, Mark Robson, B Film, terror, satanism, paladism. 163 Una película a redescubrir y reivindicar, ése es el caso de La séptima víctima (The Seventh Victim, 1943), la cuarta del ciclo de nueve cintas de terror de serie B producidas por Val Lewton en la RKO entre 1942 y 19461. Dirigida por Mark Robson en su debut como realizador, fue además la primera cuya dirección no corrió a cargo de Jacques Tourneur, tras La mujer pantera (Cat People, 1942), Yo anduve con un zombi (I Walked with a Zombie, 1943) y El hombre leopardo (The Leopard Man, 1943). Precisamente a consecuencia de los grandes éxitos de público obtenidos con estas tres, el estudio decidió separar al tándem Lewton-Tourneur, convencido de que rendirían el doble por separado, poniendo en seguida al francés al frente de mayores presupuestos.

  • ANTA Theater and the Proposed Designation of the Related Landmark Site (Item No
    Landmarks Preservation Commission August 6, 1985; Designation List 182 l.P-1309 ANTA THFATER (originally Guild Theater, noN Virginia Theater), 243-259 West 52nd Street, Manhattan. Built 1924-25; architects, Crane & Franzheim. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1024, Lot 7. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the ANTA Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 5). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty-three witnesses spoke in favor of designation. Two witnesses spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The ANTA Theater survives today as one of the historic theaters that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built in the 1924-25, the ANTA was constructed for the Theater Guild as a subscription playhouse, named the Guild Theater. The fourrling Guild members, including actors, playwrights, designers, attorneys and bankers, formed the Theater Guild to present high quality plays which they believed would be artistically superior to the current offerings of the commercial Broadway houses. More than just an auditorium, however, the Guild Theater was designed to be a theater resource center, with classrooms, studios, and a library. The theater also included the rrost up-to-date staging technology.

    STUDY GUIDE SHOW SYNOPSIS HARVEY, the classic Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway and Hollywood comedy, pulls laughter out of the hat at every turn. Elwood P. Dowd is charming and kind with one character flaw: an unwa- vering friendship with a 6-foot-tall, invisible white rabbit named Harvey. When Elwood starts to introduce his friend to guests at a society party, his sister Veta can't take it anymore. In order to save the family's social reputation, Elwood's sister takes him to the local sanatorium. But when the doctor mistakenly commits his anxiety-ridden sister, Elwood and Harvey slip out of the hospital unbothered, setting off a hilarious whirlwind of confusion and chaos as everyone in town tries to catch a man and his invisible rabbit.
