When I look up the term in the New Oxford American Dictionary – conveniently stored on my computer, only the click of a button away instead of taking up space on a bookshelf – it refers me to computing sciences: “lossless [adjective]: Computing of or relating to data compression without loss of information”. I am puzzled, my mind going on all kinds of tangents: is it true that the concept of lossless-ness has only entered our world through the advent of Digital? That a world without loss – sans perte; sin pérdidas – is reserved for the realm of data, of bits and bytes? I must reveal the reason for my fascination with the term. In December the Austrian Film Museum (Vienna) hosted a retrospective of works by American experimental filmmaker Rebecca Baron, including her recent series Lossless (2008), produced with her partner Douglas Goodwin. The series consists of five short films, (paradoxically) exploring the Lossless #3 (2008, Rebecca Baron & Douglas Goodwin) “materiality” of digital video. Digitized scenes from canonical films by Busby Berkeley, Maya Deren, Ernie Gehr, and John Ford are “compressed” (or encoded) to a degree that the image becomes something totally different from anything ever before seen on screen. By electronically removing the so-called “keyframes” during digitization the image gradually transforms into what can best be described as a flow of pixels: a stream of artefacts (meaning an “undesired alteration” or an “error” in the field of computer sciences). As so often art encourages us to challenge widely held beliefs. Ironically abolishing the notion of “lossless compression” the artists demonstrate the radical difference of the digital image without passing judgement on what is lost or what is gained. The garbled mess a misguided app produces can become an object of appreciation as much as grain and film damage used to be revered by the avant-garde of the 20th century. The work reveals that all our moving images as well as the technologies employed to capture and reproduce them are historical and thus subject to change (and to fading from memory) – a fact Paolo Cherchi Usai in “The Lindgren Manifesto” (see this issue of the JFP) puts at the core of his argument challenging the myths of an “eternal life” for our film heritage. The current debates in our association all focus on this changing landscape of

The bleak confusion of Golgotha, which can be recognized as the schema underlying the engravings and descriptions of the [Baroque] period, is not just a symbol of the desolation of human existence. In it transitoriness is not signified or allegorically represented, so much as, in its own significance, displayed as allegory. As the allegory of resurrection. —Walter Benjamin, The Origin of German Tragic Drama, 232 The allegorical form appears purely mechanical, an abstraction whose original meaning is even more devoid of substance than its “phantom proxy” the allegor- ical representative; it is an immaterial shape that represents a sheer phantom devoid of shape and substance. —Paul de Man, Blindness and Insight, 191–92 Destiny Rides Again The medieval film epic El Cid is widely regarded as a liberal film about the Cold War, in favor of détente, and in support of civil rights and racial 9780230601253ts04.qxd 03/11/2010 08:03 AM Page 76 76 Medieval and Early Modern Film and Media equality in the United States.2 This reading of the film depends on binary oppositions between good and bad Arabs, and good and bad kings, with El Cid as a bourgeois male subject who puts common good above duty.

  • Scaramouche and the Commedia Dell'arte
    Scaramouche Sibelius’s horror story Eija Kurki © Finnish National Opera and Ballet archives / Tenhovaara Scaramouche. Ballet in 3 scenes; libr. Paul [!] Knudsen; mus. Sibelius; ch. Emilie Walbom. Prod. 12 May 1922, Royal Dan. B., CopenhaGen. The b. tells of a demonic fiddler who seduces an aristocratic lady; afterwards she sees no alternative to killinG him, but she is so haunted by his melody that she dances herself to death. Sibelius composed this, his only b. score, in 1913. Later versions by Lemanis in Riga (1936), R. HiGhtower for de Cuevas B. (1951), and Irja Koskkinen [!] in Helsinki (1955). This is the description of Sibelius’s Scaramouche, Op. 71, in The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Ballet. Initially, however, Sibelius’s Scaramouche was not a ballet but a pantomime. It was completed in 1913, to a Danish text of the same name by Poul Knudsen, with the subtitle ‘Tragic Pantomime’. The title of the work refers to Italian theatre, to the commedia dell’arte Scaramuccia character. Although the title of the work is Scaramouche, its main character is the female dancing role Blondelaine. After Scaramouche was completed, it was then more or less forgotten until it was published five years later, whereupon plans for a performance were constantly being made until it was eventually premièred in 1922. Performances of Scaramouche have 1 attracted little attention, and also Sibelius’s music has remained unknown. It did not become more widely known until the 1990s, when the first full-length recording of this remarkable composition – lasting more than an hour – appeared. Previous research There is very little previous research on Sibelius’s Scaramouche.

  • Der Weg Nach Rio in Brazil: Histoire Croisée, Public Diplomacy and Film-Historical Research
    Wolfgang Fuhrmann Der Weg nach Rio in Brazil: Histoire Croisée, Public Diplomacy and Film-Historical Research Abstract The article discusses the relevance of the histoire croisée approach that has been only marginally applied to film and cinema historical research. Histoire croisée is an approach to write history from a transnational perspective. It tries to overcome the conceptual shortcomings of comparative and transfer studies and integrates them into its theoretical framework. The case study of a cultural-diplomatic conflict etweenb Brazil and Germany illustrates some of the methodological advantages of the histoire croisée approach. The paper argues that writing historiography from a transnational perspective opens not only new areas of film historicalresearch, it also offers a better understanding of film historical events that otherwise might be overlooked by comparative or transfer studies. Keywords Brazil; diplomacy; histoire croisée; historiography; transnational On 17 March 1931, the Brazilian newspaper Diário de Noticias, based in Rio de Janeiro, published a front-page article with the lurid headline ‘A Film Insulting For Brazil and Its Civilization.’12 The article reported the screening of the German film Der Weg nach Rio/Road to Rio (Manfred Noa, DE 1931), a white slavery genre film, hich,w according to the journalist, depicted Brazil in a derogatory manner and the countries’ then capital as the international centre of white slavery.3 Der Weg nach Rio was never screened in Brazil but only viewed by a small number of Brazilians living in Berlin at the time of its release. However, the article made the film the talk of the day in Brazil.

  • 366 Cine Expresionista – Estilo Y Diseño En La Historia Del Cine1 Por
    366 Cine expresionista – Estilo y diseño en la historia del cine1 Por Thomas Elsaesser* Traducido por María Guadalupe Russo** Expresionismo alemán – ¿La pesadilla favorita de todos? El cine alemán del período de Weimar, generalmente considerado como uno de las “edades doradas” del cine mundial, permanece en el centro de atención hasta el surgimiento del cine de montaje soviético a mediados y finales de la década de 1920, en cuyo momento compite, bajo el título de Neue Sachlichkeit, con el realismo descarnado de von Erich von Stroheim, Ralph Ince, Joseph von Sternberg y King Vidor. Las películas alemanas de la primera mitad de la década, de las cuales la más conocida sigue siendo El gabinete del Dr. Caligari (Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari, 1920) de Robert Wiene, son etiquetadas con frecuencia como “expresionismo alemán”, tomando prestado el nombre de un movimiento de vanguardia en literatura, drama, pintura y escultura, asociado con grupos de artistas tales como Der Blaue Reiter (El jinete azul), Der Sturm (La tormenta) y Die Brücke (El puente), que alcanzó su pico máximo alrededor de 1912, y cuyas energías creativas fueron agotadas en gran medida hacia el final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Las razones para etiquetar como expresionistas a algunas de las películas más exitosas internacionalmente del período de Weimar fueron complejas y son aún disputadas.2 Lo que sin lugar a dudas jugó un rol fueron los esfuerzos para asociar la procedencia “alemana” con algo más elevado y artístico que el militarismo prusiano y los horrores de una guerra brutal de memoria reciente. 1 Traducción de “Expressionist Cinema – Style and Design in Film History” en Olaf Brill y Gary D.

I am lucky to have had the opportunity to study with Charles Ramírez Berg, who is as great a teacher and person as he is a scholar. He played a crucial role in shaping the chapters on John Ford and my overall understanding of film narrative, representation, and genre. By the same token, I am fortunate to have worked with Elizabeth Cullingford, who has been a great mentor. Her humility, wit, and generosity, as well as her brilliance and tenacity, have been a continual source of inspiration.
