The most recently reconstructed version of F. W. Murnau’s The Last Man (1924), released in English originally as The Last Laugh, commences with a cautionary epigraph: “Today you are the first [der Erste], revered by everyone, a minister of state, a millionaire, perhaps even a prince [ein Fürst]. Who knows what you’ll be tomorrow?” Ab- sent from other available variants of the film, these words provide the coordinates of a plot that steers between “first” and “last” while parsing the ambiguity of the latter (“least”? “ultimate”?), which the divergence in titles amplifies. Restored to the film’s opening frames, these lines key the narrative in terms of a lexical tension—one that later reappears in a newspaper notice, which the camera makes legible to the viewer, and which echoes the Biblical assurance that “the last shall be first.”1 This ancient promise is invoked in conjunction with the comedic reversal of fortune heralded by the English title.

  • On the History and Ideology of Film Lighting Peter Baxter During The
    Downloaded from On the History and Ideology of Film Lighting http://screen.oxfordjournals.org Peter Baxter During the 1880's, the major theatres of Europe and America began to convert their stage lighting systems from the gas which had come into widespread use in the twenty or thirty previous years to electricity. It is true that arc lighting had been installed at the Paris Opera as early as 1846, but the superior efficiency of gas illumination at the time, and the surety of its supply, had brought at Universidade Estadual de Campinas on April 27, 2010 it into prominent use during the third quarter of the century when it attained no small operational sophistication. From a single control board gas light could be selectively brightened or dimmed, even completely shut down and re-started. The theatrical term ' limelight' originally referred to a block of lime heated to incan- descence by a jet of gas, which could throw a brilliant spot of light on the stage to pick out and follow principal actors. Henry Irving so much preferred gas to electric light that he used it for his productions at the Lyceum Theatre, and achieved spectacular results, into the twentieth century, when the rest of theatrical London had been electrified for some years. But despite the mastery that a man like Irving could attain over gas lighting, for most stages it was ' strictly for visibility and to illuminate the scenery. The Victorians painted that scenery to incorporate motivated light meticulously. A window would be painted and the light coming through the window would be painted in.

  • ASC Founders
    The 15 Founders of the American Society of Cinematographers Biographies By Robert S. Birchard The American Society of Cinematographers succeeded two earlier organizations — the Cinema Camera Club, started by Edison camerapersons Philip E. Rosen, Frank Kugler and Lewis W. Physioc in New York in 1913; and the Static Club of America, a Los Angeles–based society first headed by Universal cameraperson Harry H. Harris. From the beginning, the two clubs had a loose affiliation, and eventually the West Coast organization changed its name to the Cinema Camera Club of California. But, even as the center of film production shifted from New York to Los Angeles — the western cinematographers’ organization was struggling to stay afloat. Rosen came to Los Angeles in 1918. When he sought affiliation with the Cinema Camera Club of California, president Charles Rosher asked if he would help reorganize the faltering association. Rosen sought to create a national organization, with membership by invitation and with a strong educational component. The reorganization committee met in the home of William C. Foster on Saturday, December 21, 1918 and drew up a new set of bylaws. The 10-member committee and five invited Cinema Camera Club member visitors were designated as the board of governors for the new organization. The next evening, in the home of Fred LeRoy Granville, officers for the American Society of Cinematographers were elected — Philip E. Rosen, president; Charles Rosher, vice president; Homer A. Scott, second vice president; William C. Foster, treasurer; and Victor Milner, secretary. The Society was chartered by the State of California on January 8, 1919.

  • Sparrows (1926)
    Sparrows (1926) Closing Night Gala: Sunday 21 March 2021 Music composed by: Taylor and Cameron Graves Sparrows, released in 1926, marks the final time Mary Pickford plays a youngster on the big screen and ​ it was her next to last silent film. She was 33 years old and had already starred in 40 features and more than 100 short films. Over the 17 years she had been making movies, she had become a creative producer, a savvy businesswoman and the highest paid and best-known actress in the world. She was also one of the hardest working people in the business. Between 1912 and 1919, Pickford jumped between a variety of studios, increasing her paychecks astronomically each time until she risked it all to produce her own movies and join with Douglas Fairbanks, D.W. Griffith and Charlie Chaplin to form United Artists to distribute them. She married Fairbanks in 1920 and they ruled the filmmaking world from their Beverly Hills home dubbed Pickfair. They built their own Pickford Fairbanks studio on Santa Monica Blvd and on those 18 acres, they each had their administration offices as well as crew and craftsmen to write, direct and film their movies. Mary had her own bungalow where Doug often joined her for lunch and they came to the studio together in the morning and went home – often very late – together at night. Only a few months before deciding on Sparrows, Mary’s portion of the lot had been a turn of the century, ​ New York tenement for her film Little Annie Rooney.

    Chapter I: Introduction Throughout history, there have been sporadic pockets or concentrations of intense intellectual activity around the globe. From Athens to Vienna, cities have often been associated with the historical eras in which they excelled. For example, the 5th century BC dramatists in Greece such as Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides helped to make Athens a leader in artistic creation during its prime. Vienna, the European capital of the music world during the 18th century, was a center of artistic creativity that included composers such as Mozart and Haydn. During the 1920s, the Weimar Republic held the distinction of being the epicenter of human thought and art, with Berlin firmly at the heart of this activity. A few of the familiar names connected to this era in German history are Thomas Mann, Albert Einstein, Theodor Adorno, Wassily Kandinsky, Lyonel Feininger, Fritz Lang, and F.W. Murnau. In addition to these individuals, many artistic and intellectual schools such as German Expressionism, the Frankfurt School, the Bauhaus, and “Der Sturm” are associated with the Weimar Republic. Socially, the period represents an equally intense atmosphere. The Weimar Republic thrived on entertainment, clubs, and night-life in general. Berlin was at the forefront of urban entertainment in Germany, rivaling the other major cities of the Western world. The nightscape of Berlin was marked by lighted signs advertising small cabaret clubs and lavish musicals. However, the streets were also lined with disabled war veterans, prostitutes, and businessmen alike, reflecting an increase of prostitution, debauchery and crime of which all are in some way connected to the unbelievable inflation that permeated all layers of social, cultural and political life in Weimar Germany during the Republic’s first few years.
