Een heerlijke satire op zowel de ze- denprekers die vinden dat teveel verbeelding niet goed is voor de mens, als de goedgelovigen wiens voorstellingsvermogen nog al eens met ze op de loop dreigt te gaan (als filmlover hoor ik natuurlijk schaamteloos tot die laatste catego- MAD MAX: FURY ROAD rie en laat ik me graag bespotten, want ik weet natuurlijk wel beter: achter elke logische verkla- GEORGE MILLERS ring schuilt een beter fantasieverhaal). Op de plaats van bestemming aangekomen BENZINEGESTOOKTE besloot ik de Austen-plezanterie nog wat te ver- DANCE MACABRE lengen met een binge-watch-sessie van alle verfilmingen (nou ja, véél in ieder geval, want 4 45 het zijn er té veel) die er de laatste jaren van haar werk gemaakt zijn. Het is een soort garantie- keurmerk: Jane Austen, verrukkelijke kostuums, prachtige landschappen, moeilijke mannen en weerbarstige heldinnen die altijd veel te modern zijn voor hun jurken, maar ja die jurken zijn zo mooi. Het betere filmzwelgen. Elke generatie wordt weer verliefd op Mr. Dar- cy uit Pride and Prejudice of – en dat komt onge- twijfeld door de jeunes premiers die zo als smachtman werden gelanceerd: Colin Firth in 1995, Matthew Macfadyen in 2005 of volgend jaar Sam Riley in de verfilming van het geniale spoof-boek Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Als je in één grote kijkgolf ziet hoe alle Eliza- beth Bennetts en Mr. Darcy’s en Colonel Bran- dons en Edward Ferrars en Marianne Dashwoods en Emma’s en Fanny Price’s en Henry Crawfords per decennium worden afgebeeld dan realiseer je je weer dat elke boekverfilming, elke adapta- tie, een hervertelling is voor de zeden en mores van het heden. De stroeve Mr. Darcy van Firth is veel moeilijker te veroveren dan de melancholi- sche rockster die Macfadyen tegenover Keira Knightley speelde. Al heeft Firth dan weer het voordeel dat hij zes televisieafleveringen lang heeft om aan zijn personage te bouwen. Zo ver- overt de toeschouwer hem tegelijkertijd met Eli- zabeth Bennett. In alle discussie over film versus tv mis ik daarom dit. De kopie die series van tijd en wer- kelijkheid maken tegenover de keuzes en inter- pretaties die films kunnen bieden. We leven schijnbaar in een tijd waarin we verhalen die zich in real time ontwikkelen geloofwaardiger vinden dan de romaneske waarheid van de ver- dichting. Series kijken, ons verheugen in de ge- laagdheid van personages en de complexiteit van situaties en conflicten die zes seizoenen tientallen afleveringen meegaan heeft bar wei- nig te maken met de klassieke roman zoals zo vaak wordt gezegd. Ze prikkelen niet de verbeel- ding maar het verlangen om by proxy in de wer- kelijkheid te verdwijnen. Leven we te weinig? Of is onze wereld inmiddels grotendeels virtueel? Waar is de hedendaagse Catherine Morland uit Northanger Abbey? Is zij de ‘ghost in the machi- ne’ die Unfriended laat zien?

Actors mingle and clash in the best possible lighting, and conversation is fraught with wit and emotion. The director usually gets the bulk of the credit. But before he or she can play the consummate host, someone must carefully select the right guests, send out the invites, and keep track of the RSVPs”. ‘OSCARS: The Role Of Casting Director’ by Monica Corcoran Harel, The Deadline Team, December 6, 2012 Playing one of the key roles in creating that successful “dinner” is the Casting Director, but someone who is often over-looked in the recognition department. Everyone sees the actor at work, but very few people see the hours of research, the intrinsic skills, the gut instinct that the Casting Director puts into finding just the right person for just the right role. It’s a mix of routine and inspiration which brings the characters we come to love, and sometimes to hate, to the big screen. The Casting Director’s delicate work as liaison between director, actors, their agent/manager and the studio/network figures prominently in decisions which can make or break a project. It’s a job that can't garner an Oscar, but its mighty importance is always felt behind the scenes. In July 2013, the Academy of Motion Pictures of Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) created a new branch for Casting Directors, and we are thrilled that a number of members of the International Casting Directors Network are amongst the first Casting Directors invited into the Academy.

  • “Aspects of Danish Cinema”
    Programme of Danish Film Screenings at the Danish Institute at Athens 2018 “Aspects of Danish Cinema”. By Ioanna Athanassatou/Film Historic at the Greek Open University & the University of Athens Screening on the 26th of April 2018 Silent heart (2014) by Bille August In film screening programme of the last 2 years, we have had the chance to see I line of Danish movies from Carl Dreyer, Lars von Trier, Susanne Bier and Thomas Vinterberg. Today we have chosen to screen “Silent heart” - in Danish ”Stille hjerte” and in Greek “Αθόρυβη καρδιά” (2014) by Bille August, the fourth movie this year. Bille August is considered the total opposite to Lars Von Trier and Vinterberg with a great international reputation. The filmography of Bille August includes two movies that both were awarded with the Golden Palms in Cannes: “Pelle the Conqueror” (1988) and “The best intentions” (1992). In these movies, including today´s, the director is closer to the cinematic perception of Swedish director Ingmar Bergman (Valoukos 2003, page 630), avoiding formalistic searching, but focusing on the mental state of his heroes. When August directed the movie in 2014, he was inspired by the Scandinavian drama of Ibsen and Strindberg, but also by the philosophic/religious meditation of Søren Kierkegaard. “Silent heart” touches upon the very complex and emotional issue of euthanasia. It was awarded at International festivals and was admitted at the European Art House. The movie is about the family gathering of three generations, coming together for the weekend inorder to say their last goodbye to Esther (Ghita Nørby) – mother and grandmother – who is sick from the incurable disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

  • Rent Glossary of Terms
    Rent Glossary of Terms 11th Street and Avenue B CBGB’s – More properly CBGB & OMFUG, a club on Bowery Ave between 1st and 2nd streets. The following is taken from the website http://www.cbgb.com. It is a history written by Hilly Kristal, the founder of CBGB and OMFUG. The question most often asked of me is, "What does CBGB stand for?" I reply, "It stands for the kind of music I intended to have, but not the kind that we became famous for: COUNTRY BLUEGRASS BLUES." The next question is always, "but what does OMFUG stand for?" and I say "That's more of what we do, It means OTHER MUSIC FOR UPLIFTING GORMANDIZERS." And what is a gormandizer? It’s a voracious eater of, in this case, MUSIC. […] The obvious follow up question is often "is this your favorite kind of music?" No!!! I've always liked all kinds but half the radio stations all over the U.S. were playing country music, cool juke boxes were playing blues and bluegrass as well as folk and country. Also, a lot of my artist/writer friends were always going off to some fiddlers convention (bluegrass concert) or blues and folk festivals. So I thought it would be a whole lot of fun to have my own club with all this kind of music playing there. Unfortunately—or perhaps FORTUNATELY—things didn't work out quite the way I 'd expected. That first year was an exercise in persistence and a trial in patience. My determination to book only musicians who played their own music instead of copying others, was indomitable.

In studying the history of motion pictures, we will take into account not only the major figures who influenced their development both technologically and aesthetically, but also the cultural influences, politics, and economic factors that helped shape them. We will consider the development of motion pictures as a narrative form, cultural commodity, political object, art form, and avenue of escapist entertainment. One of the keys emphases in the class will be the historical intersections of various sites of cultural production (movies, television, advertising, censorship, political propaganda, etc.) and how they influence and shape each other. Because the breadth of international film history far exceeds what can be covered in a single semester, this course will focus most heavily on the history of film in the United States, although we also look at various historical moments in the Soviet Union, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, and Poland.

  • Seven Short Stories on Blowups and Resolutions
    Proceedings of 12th G¨okova Published online at Geometry-Topology Conference GokovaGT.org pp. 1 – 48 Seven short stories on blowups and resolutions Herwig Hauser To Raoul Bott – with great respect. “At that time, blowups were the poor man’s tool to resolve singularities.” This phrase of the late 21st century mathematician J.H.Φ. Leicht could become correct. In our days, however, blowups are still the main device for resolution purposes (cf. fig. 1). Figure 1: Resolution of the surface Helix: x2 − x4 = y2z2 by two blowups. These notes shall give an informal introduction to the subject. They are complemented by the discussion of many special and less known features of blowups. The lectures adress to students and geometers who are not experts in the field, but who need to use blowups occasionally or who just want to have a good comprehension of them. References are scattered in the literature and mostly concentrate on only part of the story. This text is neither complete, but hints at least at the variety of properties, results and techniques which are related to blowups and which make them so attractive. Actually, it may serve as the starting point to write a comprehensive treatise on blowups (which should in particular include the solutions to all exercises). The obvious objection from algebraic geometers to such a project will be that blowups are too simple to deserve a separate treatment. The many open and intricate questions listed in these notes may serve as a reply to this reproach. The material stems from lectures held by the author at the Mathematical Sciences Re- search Institute (MSRI) at Berkeley in April and May 2004 and during the Conference on Geometry and Topology at G¨okova, Turkey, in June 2005.

It is another highlight in an already extraordinary career, and quite unlike anything that American audiences have seen him do to date." – Vincent Canby, New York Times “Visually speaking, the film is handsome….Then again, perhaps the real secret to PELLE’s demographic-crossing appeal is the presence of the great von Sydow…” – A.A. Dowd, AV Club “In Bille August's PELLE THE CONQUEROR, Max von Sydow is so astoundingly evocative that he makes your bones ache.” – Hal Hinson, The Washington Post “The film is a richness of events….there is not a bad performance in the movie, and the newcomer, Pelle Hvenegaard, never steps wrong in the title role....It is Pelle, not Lasse, who is really at the center of the movie, which begins when he follows his father’s dream, and ends as he realizes he must follow his own.” – Roger Ebert, RogerEbert.com SYNOPSIS Lasse (Max von Sydow), an elderly and widowed farmer, and his young son Pelle join a boat-load of immigrants to escape from impoverished rural Sweden to Denmark's Baltic island of Bornholm.

  • 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).
