'From Page to Film': Stories You'll Long to Make Into Movies... with the Encouragement of the SCELF, BIEF Has Published Th ‘From Page to Film’: stories you’ll long to make into movies... With the encouragement of the SCELF, BIEF has published this collective catalogue for foreign producers who are keen to exploit France’s editorial production and would like to discover its diversity. Here is a selection of roughly fi fty books whose universe, characters or historical settings provide, in the opinion of the thirty French publishers who chose them, ideal material for cinematic treatment. Each entry is an invitation to create an adaptation for the screen. A contact is given for each book presented: in just a few pages, you’ll fi nd the names of thirty privileged interlocutors to create or complete your address book. We hope this catalogue will be the beginning of many new projects. Enjoy!

Similarly, it’s also possible to make a great movie out of a terrible book. But I’m convinced that it’s the book that should form the basis for the fi lm, even if it goes astray. In general, that’s a much better basis than an original fi fteen page scenario.’ Michel Audiard, 1983 In France, publishers tend to negotiate the audiovisual rights on behalf of the authors they represent. For authors this widespread practice has the advantage of a single body that negotiates the subsidiary rights for their works (adaptations for radio, theatre, etc) as well as experienced advice on the scope of rights, guarantees associated with adapted works, the duration of the rights sold and payment. Created in 1960, the French Language Publishers Association (SCELF) brings together the publishing companies who manage their author’s subsidiary rights. Two years ago, the SCELF started to catalog the audiovisual use (fi lm or television) of books published in France for a database called’Source d’Images’. This database already contains more than a thousand books and can be consulted on the SCELF website on www.scelf.fr or requested by e-mail from: [email protected] SCELF organizes also the AUDIOVISUAL RIGHTS MARKET during the Paris Book Fair.

  • First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006
    First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006 Jonathan R. Polansky Stanton Glantz, PhD CENTER FOR TOBAccO CONTROL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94143 April 2007 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Smoking among American adults fell by half between 1950 and 2002, yet smoking on U.S. movie screens reached historic heights in 2002, topping levels observed a half century earlier.1 Tobacco’s comeback in movies has serious public health implications, because smoking on screen stimulates adolescents to start smoking,2,3 accounting for an estimated 52% of adolescent smoking initiation. Equally important, researchers have observed a dose-response relationship between teens’ exposure to on-screen smoking and smoking initiation: the greater teens’ exposure to smoking in movies, the more likely they are to start smoking. Conversely, if their exposure to smoking in movies were reduced, proportionately fewer teens would likely start smoking. To track smoking trends at the movies, previous analyses have studied the U.S. motion picture industry’s top-grossing films with the heaviest advertising support, deepest audience penetration, and highest box office earnings.4,5 This report is unique in examining the U.S. movie industry’s total output, and also in identifying smoking movies, tobacco incidents, and tobacco impressions with the companies that produced and/or distributed the films — and with their parent corporations, which claim responsibility for tobacco content choices. Examining Hollywood’s product line-up, before and after the public voted at the box office, sheds light on individual studios’ content decisions and industry-wide production patterns amenable to policy reform.

  • The French New Wave and the New Hollywood: Le Samourai and Its American Legacy
    ACTA UNIV. SAPIENTIAE, FILM AND MEDIA STUDIES, 3 (2010) 109–120 The French New Wave and the New Hollywood: Le Samourai and its American legacy Jacqui Miller Liverpool Hope University (United Kingdom) E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The French New Wave was an essentially pan-continental cinema. It was influenced both by American gangster films and French noirs, and in turn was one of the principal influences on the New Hollywood, or Hollywood renaissance, the uniquely creative period of American filmmaking running approximately from 1967–1980. This article will examine this cultural exchange and enduring cinematic legacy taking as its central intertext Jean-Pierre Melville’s Le Samourai (1967). Some consideration will be made of its precursors such as This Gun for Hire (Frank Tuttle, 1942) and Pickpocket (Robert Bresson, 1959) but the main emphasis will be the references made to Le Samourai throughout the New Hollywood in films such as The French Connection (William Friedkin, 1971), The Conversation (Francis Ford Coppola, 1974) and American Gigolo (Paul Schrader, 1980). The article will suggest that these films should not be analyzed as isolated texts but rather as composite elements within a super-text and that cross-referential study reveals the incremental layers of resonance each film’s reciprocity brings. This thesis will be explored through recurring themes such as surveillance and alienation expressed in parallel scenes, for example the subway chases in Le Samourai and The French Connection, and the protagonist’s apartment in Le Samourai, The Conversation and American Gigolo. A recent review of a Michael Moorcock novel described his work as “so rich, each work he produces forms part of a complex echo chamber, singing beautifully into both the past and future of his own mythologies” (Warner 2009).

  • The Queer History of Films and Filming by Justin Bengry
    The Queer History of Films and Filming By Justin Bengry It would be hard to exaggerate the sense of repression that many queer men felt in 1950s Britain. Assailed by the press, stalked by the police and dispar- aged by the state, homosexuals experienced almost universal hostility. In 1952, for example, the Sunday Pictorial’s infamous ‘Evil Men’ series ridiculed queer men as “freaks” and “degenerates”; they were, the Pictorial warned, a potent threat to British society.1 In 1953 alone, sensational coverage of charges against Labour M.P. William Field for importuning, author Rupert Croft-Cooke for gross indecency and Shakespearean actor Sir John Gielgud for importuning in a Chelsea lavatory all highlighted the plight of homosexuals. More than any other case, however, the Lord Montagu affair of 1953-4 exposed the dangers posed to homosexuals in Britain. At its conclusion, Lord Montagu, his cousin Michael Pitt-Rivers and Daily Mail diplomatic correspondent Peter Wildeblood were all imprisoned. By 1954, the scandals, trials and social disruption had reached such a frenzy, that amid calls for state intervention, the government relented and called the Departmental Committee on Homosexual Offences and Prostitution (The Wolfenden Committee) to evaluate the state of criminal law in Britain. That same year, Philip Dosse introduced Films and Filming. Long before homosexual activity between consenting men was decrimina- lised in Britain in 1967, Films and Filming subtly included articles and images, erotically charged commercial advertisements and same-sex contact ads that established its queer leanings. From its initial issues in 1954, the magazine sought Britain’s queer market segment by including articles on the censorship of homosexual themes in film and theatre, profiles and images of sexually ambigu- ous male actors like Dirk Bogarde and Rock Hudson and photo spreads selected specifically for their display of male flesh.

Though the printed word is essential in learning, educators have been taking notice of the new visual and oratory stimuli and incorporated them into classroom teaching. The purpose of this idea packet is to further introduce teacher colleagues to this methodology and share a compilation of films which may be easily implemented in secondary social studies instruction. Though this project focuses in grades 6-12 social studies we believe that media should be infused into all K-12 subject areas, from language arts, math, and foreign languages, to science, the arts, physical education, and more. In this day and age, students have become accustomed to acquiring knowledge through mediums such as television and movies. Though books and text are essential in learning, teachers should take notice of the new visual stimuli. Films are familiar in the everyday lives of students.

  • HOW NURSES ARE PORTRAYED in AMERICAN and TURKISH MOVIES Amerikan Ve Türk Filmlerinde Hemşireler Nasıl Tasvir Edilmektedir?

Rukiye PINAR BÖLÜKTAŞ1 ABSTRACT Purpose: The purpose of the study was to describe how nursing and nurses are portrayed in American and Turkish movies. Methods: First of all, we examined the films with the keywords nurse and nursing. The majority of the films were produced in the United States. Turkish film industry produced only six films between 1968 and 2020. Three movies from the United States (English Patient, Nurse Betty, Meet the Parents) and three movies from Turkey (Beautiful Coffee Server, Imperator, Brought by the Sea) with at least one nurse character with a significant part were covered. Thematic qualitative method was used to analyze the movies’ content. Results: All nurses, except one, were female, white, young, single, and childless. In “English Patient”, the nurse is portrayed mainly as a self-sacrificing character. In “Nurse Betty”, nursing is seen as a profession that can be done without education. “Meet the Parents” draws attention to common stereotypes about male nurses. In “Beautiful Coffee Server”, the nurse character is typically reduced to a supporting role, enforcing the message to the viewer that nurses were not really needed in healthcare. “Imperator” emphasizes the nurse’s sexual attractiveness and behavior rather than her professional work. And finally, in “Brought by the Sea”, portrayal of nurse creates a potent favorable image of nursing.

    JOURNAL OF CRITICAL REVIEWS ISSN- 2394-5125 VOL 08, ISSUE 02, 2021 THE ARCHITECTUAL SOUL IN THE BODYOF MICHELANGELO ANTONIONI'S FILMS:SHORTREVIEWONHISTRILOGY: L’AVVENTURA (1960), LA NOTTE (1961), AND L’ECLISSE (1962) GELAREH HAJMOUSA Affiliation Faculty of literature and Philosophy, Sapienza university of Rome, Italy Address: Via dei Volsci, 122, 00185 Roma RM Email: [email protected] Phone: 00393511926186 Abstract In realistic films, the architecture of the cinematic exploitation can be seen. In this regard Antonioni's films has an exceptional place. His films point and desire to create a cinematic experience through the use of filming techniques due to the interplay between architecture and the characters. Antonioni, in his films, uses architecture to depict the mental state of the characters, or perhaps as an arena for closure their logical inconsistencies and contrary qualities.Three films: The adventure (L’Avventura, 1960),The night (La Notte, 1961),and The eclipse(L’Eclisse, 1962) are closely related to the concept and text and are known as the trilogy of the Antonioni. In all of these films, director tries to link the process of emotional development of characters to their position in the film.The emphasis on urban-industrial texture, the unusual story structure, the minimal role of dialogue, and in particular the movements of the camera, which follow the unique methods of cinematic expression, all appear in his work.The Antonionitrilogy are an example of a series of films that are suited to study the purpose of any study on a serious approach to the question of the relationship between two types of substances and artistic creatures.
