  • Ecrits De L'ombre Etudes & Essais Sur Le Roman Et Le Film D'espionnage
    Belphégor Norbert Spehner Ecrits de l'ombre Etudes & essais sur le roman et le film d'espionnage Cette bibliographie de base comprend trois grandes parties : la littérature, le cinéma & la télévision et le mythe James Bond. La littérature sur Ian Fleming et son personnage fétiche est tellement abondante qu'elle mérite une partie distincte. Sauf rares exceptions portant spécifiquement et uniquement sur le genre, cette compilation ne recense pas les thèses et mémoires, ni les monographies de cinéastes comme Hitchcock et cie qui ont tourné toutes sortes de films. Elle est aussi très sélective à propos des écrivains qui, comme Graham Greene ou Joseph Conrad, ont écrit d'autres types de romans. Sommaire : 1.

    * pb ‘Film Front Weimar’ 30-10-2002 14:10 Pagina 1 The Weimar Republic is widely regarded as a pre- cursor to the Nazi era and as a period in which jazz, achitecture and expressionist films all contributed to FILM FRONT WEIMAR BERNADETTE KESTER a cultural flourishing. The so-called Golden Twenties FFILMILM FILM however was also a decade in which Germany had to deal with the aftermath of the First World War. Film CULTURE CULTURE Front Weimar shows how Germany tried to reconcile IN TRANSITION IN TRANSITION the horrendous experiences of the war through the war films made between 1919 and 1933. These films shed light on the way Ger- many chose to remember its recent past. A body of twenty-five films is analysed. For insight into the understanding and reception of these films at the time, hundreds of film reviews, censorship re- ports and some popular history books are discussed. This is the first rigorous study of these hitherto unacknowledged war films. The chapters are ordered themati- cally: war documentaries, films on the causes of the war, the front life, the war at sea and the home front. Bernadette Kester is a researcher at the Institute of Military History (RNLA) in the Netherlands and teaches at the International School for Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Am- sterdam. She received her PhD in History FilmFilm FrontFront of Society at the Erasmus University of Rotterdam. She has regular publications on subjects concerning historical representation.

  • Two Genre and Form Lists for Moving Image and Broadcast Materials: a Comparison
    UCLA UCLA Previously Published Works Title Two Genre and Form Lists for Moving Image and Broadcast Materials: a Comparison. Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9pp0q8qv Journal Cataloging & Classification Quarterly, 31(3/4) Author Yee, Martha M Publication Date 2001 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California TWO GENRE AND FORM LISTS FOR MOVING IMAGE AND BROADCAST MATERIALS: A COMPARISON December 10, 2000 draft by Martha M. Yee ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Greta de Groat and David Miller were kind enough to read this article in draft form and offer many suggestions for ways to improve it. Lisa Kernan, a most welcoming and knowledgable public service librarian at the UCLA library that collects film and television literature (the Arts Library) did some research for the author, who was unable to get to the library due to a bus strike. The author alone is responsible for any errors that may remain, of course. ABSTRACT The Moving Image Genre-Form Guide and Library of Congress Subject Headings are compared as sources of genre or form terms for moving image and broadcast materials. In comparing these two lists, it is noted that both seem to include a certain number of headings that are actually topical subject headings disguised as example of headings (655). Both lists contain example of headings that index categories other than genre/form, such as audience, filmmaker and the like. MIGFG has headings that are more direct than LCSH, which has many headings that begin with the terms 'Motion picture,' 'Radio,' and 'Television.' MIGFG has a much more rigid citation order than LCSH, to the extent that it works against literary warrant.

    MOMA PRESENTS RARELY SCREENED FILMS OF FRENCH DIRECTOR CLAUDE CHABROL The Other Claude Chabrol Includes TV Films and Shorts, Seen for the First Time in the United States North American Premiere of Chez Maupassant: La Parure (The Necklace) The Other Claude Chabrol August 17–27, 2007 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 2 NEW YORK, August 3, 2007—The Museum of Modern Art presents The Other Claude Chabrol, a survey of the renowned French director’s lesser-known short and feature-length works, many of which were made for French television and will be screened in the United States for the first time. Presented August 17 through 27, 2007, in The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 2, the 11-title series includes the North American premiere of Chabrol’s newest work, the short film Chez Maupassant: La Parure (The Necklace, 2007), which will be screened on opening night, August 17. The exhibition is organized by Jytte Jensen, Curator, and Leigh Goldstein, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art. Claude Chabrol (French, b. 1930) has directed more than 55 films in the five decades since he emerged among the French New Wave directors with his first feature, the revolutionary Le Beau Serge (1958). Within that substantial output are several feature films, as well as works commissioned for French television, that have never before been screened in American theaters. Among the titles in this exhibition are three films from Les Histoires insolites, a Twilight Zone-like series in which the stories have a sting in their tail. Chabrol’s affinity for literary texts is evident in adaptations of works by Henry James (Le Banc de la Désolation, 1974), Pierre Souvestre (L’Echafaud magique, 1979), and Guy de Maupassant (La Parure), but his talents also extend to the spy capers of the Tigre series, whose tongue-in-cheek campiness are in keeping with the stylish espionage thriller genre of the 1960s.

  • The Genius of Hitchcock Part One: August 2012
    12/44 The Genius of Hitchcock Part One: August 2012 Special events include: x Tippi Hedren in Conversation x TV Preview + Q&A: THE GIRL – new BBC2 drama telling the full story of Hitchcock’s relationship with Tippi Hedren x Camille Paglia: Women & Magic in Hitchcock x The Lodger + composer Nitin Sawhney in Conversation Over the course of almost three months, Hitchcock’s surviving body of work as director will be presented in its entirety at BFI Southbank. The films will be grouped together, taking inspiration from one his most famous films to present the 39 Steps to the Genius of Hitchcock to help audiences increase their understanding of this complex and fascinating director. The first part of the BFI Southbank season in August, with special thanks to Sky Movies/HD, focuses on the first 12 steps, beginning with The Shaping of Alfred Hitchcock. The recent discovery in New Zealand of several reels of The White Shadow, scripted by Hitchcock, made international headlines. But other material, too, survives from his apprentice years, prior to The Pleasure Garden. In The Shaping of Hitchcock: Reflections on The White Shadow author Charles Barr will present a richly illustrated narrative of Hitchcock’s formative years, as an introduction to a screening of the thus-far incomplete The White Shadow (1924). BFI Future Film presents The DIY Thriller Film Fortnight to accompany the second step: The Master of Suspense. This course will give participants aged 15-25 the chance to make short thriller films inspired by Hitchcock. The Evolution of Style will look at the development of Hitchcock’s style – described by the director as ‘the first true Hitchcock film’, The Lodger (1926) introduces themes that would run through much of Hitchcock’s later work.
