Years ago, scientist Seth Brundle had a horrific accident when he tried to use his newly invented teleportation device and became a human- fly hybrid. His almost-human son, Martin, has continued the search for a cure, but those efforts have led to several dozen lab workers being exposed to the diseased blood of a hybrid. After weeks of quarantine in an abandoned hospital, each person has transformed into a hybrid seeking to escape and loose vengeance on the world… “The Book of Revelation” Written by Brandon Seifert & Denton J.

Desire, Disease, Death, and David Cronenberg: the Operatic Anxieties of the Fly
Desire, Disease, Death, and David Cronenberg: The Operatic Anxieties of The Fly Yves Saint-Cyr 451 University of Toronto Introduction In 1996, Linda and Michael Hutcheon released their groundbreaking book, Opera: Desire, Disease, Death, a work that analyses operatic representations of tuberculosis, syphilis, cholera, and AIDS. They followed this up in 2000 with Bodily Charm, a discussion of the corporeal in opera; and, in 2004, they published Opera: The Art of Dying, in which they argue that opera has historically provided a metaphorical space for the ritualistic contemplation of mortality, whether the effect is cathartic, medita- tive, spiritual, or therapeutic. This paper is based on a Hutcheonite reading of the Fly saga, which to date is made up of seven distinct incarnations: George Langelaan published the original short story in 1957; Neumann and Clavell’s 1958 film adaptation was followed by two sequels in 1959 and 1965; David Cronenberg re-made the Neumann film in 1986, which gener- ated yet another sequel in 1989; and, most recently in 2008, Howard Shore and David Henry Hwang adapted Cronenberg’s film into an opera. If the Hutcheons are correct that opera engenders a ritualistic contemplation of mortality by sexualising disease, how does this practice influence composers and librettists’ choice of source material? Historically, opera has drawn on the anxieties of its time and, congruently, The Fly: Canadian Review of Comparative Literature / Revue Canadienne de Littérature Comparée CRCL DECEMBER 2011 DÉCEMBRE RCLC 0319–051x/11/38.4/451 © Canadian Comparative Literature Association CRCL DECEMBER 2011 DÉCEMBRE RCLC The Opera draws on distinctly 21st-century fears.

Chapter 24 the Cinema of David Cronenberg
Chapter 24 The Cinema of David Cronenberg Objectives: The objective of this chapter is to introduce the learners to the films and works of David Cronenberg, one of the leading Canadian filmmakers. Key words: body horror, graphic sequences, auteurism David Cronenberg (1943- ) Cronenberg’s became a significant presence in world cinema since the commercial success in the United States of his 1981 film Scanners. He is an author as well as an auteur, writing or adapting the screenplays for most of his movies.Yet, the English-speaking Canada has never been really comfortable with Cronenberg. A filmmaker of remarkable originality, Cronenberg has rarely received an appropriate consideration from scholarly opinion in English Canada. A voracious reader, his readings range from the modernists to science fiction, and he cites Vladimir Nabokov and William Burroughs, rather than any filmmakers, as his artistic influences. David Cronenberg’s movies are often described as ‘immoral.’ They are consequently criticized for being ‘sick, perverse, and sometimes downright depraved’. Often called Dave ‘Depraved’ Cronenberg and ‘The Baron of Blood’, he is one of the principal originators of what is commonly known as the body horror genre, a style of filmmaking which explores people’s fears of bodily transformation and infection. The idea of cursed intelligence occurs frequently in his films. His Videodrome (1983) is a commentary on how films and television have changed the notions of reality and fantasy. In Dead Zone (1983), based on a Stephen King novel, Christopher Walken plays a man who is able to see the end of life in anyone he touches.

SYMPHONIES of HORROR Musical Experimentation in Howard Shore's
SYMPHONIES OF HORROR Musical Experimentation in Howard Shore’s Work with David Cronenberg A thesis submitted to the Oberlin College & Conservatory Musical Studies Department in fulfillment of the requirements for University Honors by Vikram Shankar Spring 2017 Shankar, Symphonies of Horror 2 Table of Contents: Introduction 3 Methodology 6 Theoretical Frameworks 9 Early Experimentation: The Brood 20 Synthesized Surrealism: Videodrome 30 Breaking Through to the Mainstream: The Fly 40 Scoring the Unfilmable: Naked Lunch 60 Conclusion 77 Works Cited 81 Nosferatu, A Symphony of Horror: original score 84 Acknowledgments 86 Shankar, Symphonies of Horror 3 INTRODUCTION With a career spanning almost forty years, Canadian composer Howard Shore has become one of the most respected and sought after film composers working in the industry today. Much of his work, in particular his scores for the Lord of the Rings films, have received much academic attention; his longstanding working relationship with Canadian horror filmmaker David Cronenberg, however, has not yet benefited from such academic inquiry. Using the films The Brood, Videodrome, The Fly, and Naked Lunch as case studies, this thesis examines the way that Shore uses the arena of Cronenberg’s films as a laboratory for personal musical experimentation. Examples include Shore’s use of electronic synthesizer sounds alongside a string orchestra for Videodrome, implementations of canonic techniques and against-the-grain writing for The Fly, and the incorporation of free-jazz aesthetics in Naked Lunch. Using as sources Howard Shore’s words and what academic inquiry exists in this field, but more often utilizing my own analysis and observations of the music and films, I argue that Shore’s scores incorporate such musical experimentation to work in tandem with Cronenberg’s own experimental art.

The Hollywood Cinema Industry's Coming of Digital Age: The
The Hollywood Cinema Industry’s Coming of Digital Age: the Digitisation of Visual Effects, 1977-1999 Volume I Rama Venkatasawmy BA (Hons) Murdoch This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2010 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. -------------------------------- Rama Venkatasawmy Abstract By 1902, Georges Méliès’s Le Voyage Dans La Lune had already articulated a pivotal function for visual effects or VFX in the cinema. It enabled the visual realisation of concepts and ideas that would otherwise have been, in practical and logistical terms, too risky, expensive or plain impossible to capture, re-present and reproduce on film according to so-called “conventional” motion-picture recording techniques and devices. Since then, VFX – in conjunction with their respective techno-visual means of re-production – have gradually become utterly indispensable to the array of practices, techniques and tools commonly used in filmmaking as such. For the Hollywood cinema industry, comprehensive VFX applications have not only motivated the expansion of commercial filmmaking praxis. They have also influenced the evolution of viewing pleasures and spectatorship experiences. Following the digitisation of their associated technologies, VFX have been responsible for multiplying the strategies of re-presentation and story-telling as well as extending the range of stories that can potentially be told on screen. By the same token, the visual standards of the Hollywood film’s production and exhibition have been growing in sophistication.

RMC Original JMM Ingeniería genética en el cine: el caso de las quimeras Gemma Rodríguez, Josep-E Baños Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud y de la Vida. Universitat Pompeu Fabra. Barcelona (España). Correspondencia: Josep-E Baños. Departamento de Ciencias Experimentales y de la Salud. Universitat Pompeu Fabra. Dr. Aiguader 88. 08003 Barcelona (España). e-mail: [email protected] Recibido el 9 de enero de 2014; aceptado el 29 de enero de 2014 Resumen El desarrollo de la genética molecular durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX ha permitido plantear situa- ciones que hasta entonces se mantenían dentro de la biociencia ficción. Entre ellas se encuentra la posi- bilidad de realizar quimeras mediante la combinación de material genético. El cine ha reflejado repetida- mente esta posibilidad a partir de obras literarias o directamente de guiones cinematográficos. El pre- sente artículo analiza algunas películas que ayudan a comprender las creencias sociales sobre las quimeras a lo largo del último siglo. Se consideran La isla de las almas perdidas/Island of lost souls (1932) de Erle C. Kenton, La isla del Doctor Moreau/ The island of doctor Moreau (1977) de Don Taylor, La mosca/ The fly en las versions de Kurt Neumann (1958) y de David Cronenberg (1986), Mimic (1997) de Guillermo del Toro y Splice. Experimento mortal/ Splice (2009) de Vincenzo Natali. Las principales conclu- siones del análisis son la presencia de una visión negativa a la posibilidad de construir quimeras con argu- mentos similares en la crítica de Frankenstein, así como una aproximación prácticamente ausente a la posible utilidad de seres de tales características.

For Titus and his friends, it started out like any ordinary trip to the moon - a chance to party during spring break and play with some stupid low-grav at the Ricochet Lounge. But that was before the crazy hacker caused all their feeds to malfunction, sending them to the hospital to lie around with nothing inside their heads for days. And it was before Titus met Violet, a beautiful, brainy teenage girl who has decided to fight the feed and its omnipresent ability to categorize human thoughts and desires. Atwood, Margaret.
