Welcome to Dead by Dawn! It’s sound advice to be more afraid of the living than the dead. Sure, the dead can kill you, but at least they’re easy to spot. In this year’s programme too many of the monsters will smile when they meet you, and will still be smiling when they lock you in a meat freezer. Or encourage you onto a ledge. Or offer to share their martini. You could try politely declining their kind offer, see how that works out... Dead by Dawn is a discovery festival which exists to showcase potential and vibrant emerging talent, but also aims to screen the widest possible range of what can be described as horror both in feature and short form.

Given the relative youth of the discipline, performance studies has remained steadfast in delimiting its objects as those that are live—shared air performance—and not bound by textuality; only recently has the discipline considered the mediated, but still solely within the circumscription of shared air performance. The cinema, as cultural object, permeates our lives—it is pervasive and ubiquitous—it sets the bar for quality acting, and shapes our expectations and ideologies.

  • 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.

  • Program Note for Retrospective on George A. Romero January 11-26, 2003
    Program note for retrospective on George A. Romero January 11-26, 2003 BRUISER 2000, 99 mins. 35mm print source: George A. Romero. Courtesy Lions Gate Films. Written and directed by George A. Romero. Produced by Ben Barenholtz and Peter Grunwald. Executive Produced by Allen M. Shore. Original music by Donald Rubinstein. Photographed by Adam Swica. Edited by Miume Jan Eramo. Production design by Sandra Kybartas. Art direction by Mario Mercuri. Set decoration by Enrico Campana. Principal cast: Jason Flemyng (as Henry Creedlow), Peter Stormare (Milo Styles), Leslie Hope (Rosemary Newley), Nina Garbiras (Janice Creedlow), Andrew Tarbet (James Larson), Tom Atkins (Detective McCleary), Jonathan Higgins (Rakowski), Jeff Monahan (Tom Burtram), Marie Cruz (Number 9), Beatriz Pizano (Katie Saldano), Tamsin Kelsey (Mariah Breed), and Kelly King (Gloria Kite). From the article Face To No Face by Michael Rowe, Fangoria , April, 2001: From one of an endless number of nondescript warehouses in an industrial district near Toronto's lakeshore, a cluster of location vans and trailers materializes out of the dirty downtown rain. It's the last day of shooting on George A. Romero's new thriller Bruiser , and the fickle weather has tossed the crew a bone in the form of a few hours of sunlight. Not that it matters to anyone—the location is deep inside the warehouse's airless recesses. The air inside is so thick and dark that it's a small mercy to surface into the fresher air outside. In a film that embraces metaphor, the secrecy and intensity surrounding the story being shot inside couldn't have a better frame than today's location.

Since the SCMS conference was last here twelve years ago, the Society has seen both membership and the conference itself increase dramatically in size. This year in Atlanta we have twice the number of panels as we had in 2004. Our growth confirms the vitality of cinema and media studies, as well as its continuing importance to the academy internationally and to our increasingly globalized societies. I know from previewing the program that it boasts an impressive display of the best, most stimulating work presently being done in our field, which is at once singular in its focus on visual and digital media and yet quite diverse in its scope, intellectual interests and goals, and methodologies. Given the dazzling assortment of panels on tap for the five days of our conference, I hope you will find this year’s selection as exciting and stimulating as in years past. And as dizzying, perhaps, as you try to decide where to go next. To assist you in navigating the program we have arranged for everyone to have access to the Grupio app. Among other features, it allows you to view the entire schedule and then to create your own calendars based on the sessions you want to attend.
