The Importance of the Weimar Film Industry Redacted for Privacy Abstract Approved: Christian P
AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Tamara Dawn Goesch for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Foreign Languages and Litera- tures (German), Business, and History presented on August 12, 1981 Title: A Critique of the Secondary Literature on Weimar Film; The Importance of the Weimar Film Industry Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Christian P. Stehr Only when all aspects of the German film industry of the 1920's have been fully analyzed and understood will "Weimar film" be truly comprehensible. Once this has been achieved the study of this phenomenon will fulfill its po- tential and provide accurate insights into the Weimar era. Ambitious psychoanalytic studies of Weimar film as well as general filmographies are useful sources on Wei- mar film, but the accessible works are also incomplete and even misleading. Theories about Weimar culture, about the group mind of Weimar, have been expounded, for example, which are based on limited rather than exhaustive studies of Weimar film. Yet these have nonetheless dominated the literature because no counter theories have been put forth. Both the deficiencies of the secondary literature and the nature of the topic under study--the film media--neces- sitate that attention be focused on the films themselves if the mysteries of the Weimar screenare to be untangled and accurately analyzed. Unfortunately the remnants of Weimar film available today are not perfectsources of information and not even firsthand accounts in othersour- ces on content and quality are reliable. However, these sources--the films and firsthand accounts of them--remain to be fully explored. They must be fully explored if the study of Weimar film is ever to advance. -
Gesture and Movement in Silent Shakespeare Films
Gesticulated Shakespeare: Gesture and Movement in Silent Shakespeare Films Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jennifer Rebecca Collins, B.A. Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2011 Thesis Committee: Alan Woods, Advisor Janet Parrott Copyright by Jennifer Rebecca Collins 2011 Abstract The purpose of this study is to dissect the gesticulation used in the films made during the silent era that were adaptations of William Shakespeare's plays. In particular, this study investigates the use of nineteenth and twentieth century established gesture in the Shakespearean film adaptations from 1899-1922. The gestures described and illustrated by published gesture manuals are juxtaposed with at least one leading actor from each film. The research involves films from the experimental phase (1899-1907), the transitional phase (1908-1913), and the feature film phase (1912-1922). Specifically, the films are: King John (1899), Le Duel d'Hamlet (1900), La Diable et la Statue (1901), Duel Scene from Macbeth (1905), The Taming of the Shrew (1908), The Tempest (1908), A Midsummer Night's Dream (1909), Il Mercante di Venezia (1910), Re Lear (1910), Romeo Turns Bandit (1910), Twelfth Night (1910), A Winter's Tale (1910), Desdemona (1911), Richard III (1911), The Life and Death of King Richard III (1912), Romeo e Giulietta (1912), Cymbeline (1913), Hamlet (1913), King Lear (1916), Hamlet: Drama of Vengeance (1920), and Othello (1922). The gestures used by actors in the films are compared with Gilbert Austin's Chironomia or A Treatise on Rhetorical Delivery (1806), Henry Siddons' Practical Illustrations of Rhetorical Gesture and Action; Adapted to The English Drama: From a Work on the Subject by M. -

Festiwalu Filmowym Poli Negri W&Nbsp;Austin
„Bestia” i inne… O Festiwalu Filmowym Poli Negri w Austin. Książki Mariusza Kotowskiego o Poli Negri, fot. Jacek Gwizdka Joanna Sokołowska-Gwizdka (Austin, Teksas) Od 20 maja do 20 czerwca 2021 r. Austin Polish Society organizuje Festiwal Poli Negri on-line. Filmy będą nieodpłatnie dostępne na platformie Austin Polish Film Festival, bez ograniczeń terytorialnych. Pola Negri mieszkała w Teksasie przez 30 lat, zmarła w San Antonio w 1987 r., dlatego my Polonia z Teksasu czujemy się zobligowani, aby o niej pamiętać. Mamy szczęście, że w Austin mieszka ekspert od Poli Negri, reżyser Mariusz Kotowski. Jego kolekcja fotografii, plakatów, wycinków z gazet i różnego rodzaju pamiątek po artystce, jest imponująca. Mariusz Kotowski zajmował się tą postacią przez kilkanaście lat, zgromadził ogromną wiedzę na jej temat, wręcz zaprzyjaźnił się z artystką. Dotarł do osób, które ją znały i które wypowiedziały się przed kamerą. I tak z bogatej kolekcji fotografii, gazet, fragmentów archiwalnych filmów i wypowiedzi aktorów (laureaci Oskara – Hayley Mills, Eli Wallach), producenta filmowego z Paramount Picures (A.C. Lyles), historyka filmu (Jeanine Basinger) oraz duchownego przyjaciela, a także pisarza, który pomagał opracować jej wspomnienia… powstał film dokumentalny „Pola Negri – życie gwiazdy”. niezwykły portret kobiety, aktorki, a przede wszystkim człowieka. Obrazu dopełnia narracja zdobywczyni nagrody Emmy – Cyndi Williams oraz muzyka Chopina, która umiejscawia bohaterkę w kraju nad Wisłą. Jest to więc unikalny dokument, wielokrotnie nagradzany, tym bardziej cenny, że wiele z wypowiadających się w nim osób już nie żyje. Poza tym jak dotąd nie powstał żaden inny, równie rzetelny i przekrojowy film na temat Poli Negri. Oprócz filmu dokumentalnego Mariusza Kotowskiego podczas festiwalu będzie można zobaczyć cztery filmy z początkowego okresu twórczości artystki z serii „The Iconic Collections”. -

Television in the Cinema Before 1939: an International Annotated Database, with an Introduction by Richard Koszarski
Journal of e-Media Studies Volume 5, Issue 1, 2016 Dartmouth College Television in the Cinema Before 1939: An International Annotated Database, with an Introduction by Richard Koszarski Richard Koszarski and Doron Galili Visions of the Future An Introduction by Richard Koszarski Albert Abramson traced the first appearance of the word television to a paper presented in Paris by the Russian electrical engineer Constantin Perskyi on August 25, 1900. Perskyi discussed his own work as well as the contributions of his predecessors, such as Paul Nipkow, and suggested television as a replacement for words like telectroscope, one of many terms already in common use whenever the phenomenon of distant electric vision was under discussion. The International Electricity Congress, which heard the paper, was meeting in Paris that summer because this is where the great Exposition Universelle of 1900 was being held. For film historians, the exposition is renowned for its fabulous array of new projection technologies, involving everything from widescreen and color to talking pictures and Cineorama. Perskyi's linguistic contribution, on the other hand, is remembered only by specialists. One wonders if the proponents of the téléoscope and the téléphote, as they roamed the exposition, gave any thought to these new marvels of the cinema, and asked themselves why their medium still lagged so far behind in every conceivable measure. Seeing at a distance was a notion that had captivated engineers and entrepreneurs since word of Alexander Graham Bell's telephone first began to spread in the late 1870s, yet here it was 1900, and still only in the talking stage? People around the world had been waiting for television for decades, but the engineers had given them the cinema instead, a rival moving-image medium that appeared to have leapt from dream to multinational industry almost overnight. -
Implacable Images: Why Epileptiform Events Continue to Be Featured in film and Television
Original article Epileptic Disord 2006; 8 (2): 103-13 Implacable images: why epileptiform events continue to be featured in film and television Toba Schwaber Kerson1, Lawrence A. Kerson2 1 Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research, Bryn Mawr College 2 University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, USA Received September 26, 2005; Accepted February 13, 2006 ABSTRACT – Epileptiform events have been portrayed in film since 1900 and on television since the 1950’s. Over time, portrayals have not reflected medi- cine’s understanding of epilepsy. At present, it is unlikely that individuals who do not have a close relationship with someone with a seizure-disorder will witness a seizure. Because fictive and often incorrect images appear increas- ingly, many think of them as accurate depictions. The research addresses three questions in relation to these images: How do directors use the images? Why do uses of seizures in visual media not reflect contemporary scientific knowledge? Why have they persisted and increased in use? Data consist of material from 192 films and television episodes. The general category of seizures includes seizures in characters said to have epilepsy or some other condition, seizures related to drug or alcohol use, pseudoseizures and feigned seizures, and, a category in which, for example, someone is described as “having a fit.” The research demonstrates how epileptiform events drive the narrative, support the genre, evoke specific emotional reactions, accentuate traits of characters with sei- zures, highlight qualities of other characters through their responses to the seizures, act as catalysts for actions, and enhance the voyeuristic experience of the audience. -

The Distribution, Censorship and Reception of German Films in Soviet Russia of the 1920S
Natalja Poljakowa The Distribution, Censorship and Reception of German films in Soviet Russia of the 1920s School of Modern Languages, Literatures & Cultures Royal Holloway, University of London, United Kingdom A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2015 2 Declaration I declare that this dissertation was composed by myself, the work contained herein is my own except where explicitly stated otherwise in the text and that this work has not been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification except as specified. Natalja Poljakowa 3 Abstract Despite the huge amount of research on European cinema of the 1920s, little attention has been paid to the influence of cross-cultural encounters on the trajectory of national film histories. This study argues that Soviet film was shaped by the reception of German film to an extent that existing scholarship has not acknowledged. It focuses on the impact of German and Austrian films on the revival of the Soviet film industry in the period of the New Economic Policy. German films helped to fill in the gaps in Soviet film distribution, as until the mid- 1920s Soviet Russia was not able to revive its own film production and entirely relied on foreign film imports. However, all imported films were thoroughly examined, classified and, in most of cases, ‘adjusted’ to the Soviet ideology through re-editing. This thesis explores previously ignored aspects of the film exchange between the Weimar Republic and Soviet Russia: the process of selection and purchase, the censorship control over content, the reception of the films in little-known periodicals and film brochures and, finally, the influence of the imported productions on the Soviet audience. -

Hollywood y el Estado. El apoyo del gobierno americano a su industria cinematográfica durante la dictadura de Primo de Rivera Rocío de la Maya Retamar Universidad de Málaga (España) [email protected] Resumen Aunque cada vez son más los estudios históricos que abordan el éxito de las películas norteamericanas en los mercados extranjeros, se le ha prestado relativamente poca atención a las contribuciones espe- cíficas del gobierno de Estados Unidos para alcanzar ese éxito. Este artículo examina el alcance de la asistencia del gobierno norteamericano en relación al mercado cinematográfico español durante esa segunda década del siglo XX, específicamente durante la Dictadura de Primo de Rivera. Palabras clave: Distribución cinematográfica – Estados Unidos – España – Legislación cinematográfica – Intervención gubernamental – Censura cinematográfica Hollywood and the State. US Government aid in the Spanish film market during the years of Primo de Rivera dictatorship. Abstract As more historical studies addresses the success of American films abroad, still we know little about the specific contributions of US Government in achieving that goal. This article examines the scope of that US Government aid regarding Spanish film market during the second of 20th century, specifically during the years of Primo de Rivera dictatorship.
