APR & MAY 2014 at Bamcinématek APR & MAY 2014 at BAMcinématek The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. MAR 31, APR 29 & MAY 19 (Three Days, Three Films) SCIENCE ON SCREEN Special guests at every screening Back by popular demand after its first season at BAM last spring, this series explores the surprising connections between seemingly far-fetched Hollywood fantasy and real-life science— with scientists on hand at each screening to explain it all. Neuroscientist Joseph LeDoux discusses the emotionally fraught, sci-fi-inflected trips down the rabbit holes of memory in Michel Gondry’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004); wildlife journalist and author Jon Mooallem explores the relationship between humans and endangered species with Werner Herzog’s Grizzly Man (2005); and Sonia Shah, author of The Fever: How Malaria Has Ruled Humankind for 500,000 Years, discusses another kind of epidemic with George Romero’s zombie classic Night of the Living Dead (1968). Support for Science on Screen is provided by The Coolidge Corner Theatre Foundation, supported by a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. APR 1—3 (Three Days, Three Films) JONATHAN GLAZER Sneak Preview of Under the Skin with Glazer in person! After a nine-year break from the big screen, British director Jonathan Glazer—who went from commercial and music video visionary (Massive Attack, Blur, Radiohead, and Jamiroquai, to name a few) to gutsy iconoclast—returns this spring with his most audacious movie yet. His films reveal a master of style and mood who is unafraid to go bold. BAMcinématek’s three-day series opens with a sneak preview of Under the Skin, a hallucinatory sci-fi brainteaser starring Scarlett Johansson as a buxom alien predator who lures her male victims to a most peculiar fate. Glazer will appear in person for a Q&A following the screening. Sneak preview of Under the Skin courtesy A24. ALSO INCLUDES: Birth (2004), Sexy Beast (2001). APR 4—10 (Seven Days, Seven Films, All in 35mm!) BLONDE VENUS: THE FILMS OF DIETRICH and von STERNBERG “One of the most dazzling runs of creativity in the history of the movies.” —Dave Kehr, The New York Times An actor-director match made in Hollywood heaven, arch-stylist Josef von Sternberg found the perfect muse for his sumptuous experiments in lighting and mise-en-scène in the supremely glamorous screen siren Marlene Dietrich. All films directed by Josef von Sternberg, starring Marlene Dietrich and presented in glorious 35mm. FILMS INCLUDE: Blonde Venus (1932), The Blue Angel (1930, both the German and American versions), The Devil is a Woman (1935), Dishonored (1931), Morocco (1930), The Scarlet Empress (1934), Shanghai Express (1932). APR 11—17 (One Week) New restoration! Jacques Demy’s THE YOUNG GIRLS OF ROCHEFORT (1967) Starring Catherine Deneuve, Françoise Dorléac, and Gene Kelly In this big-budget tribute to the American musical, real-life sisters Catherine Deneuve and Françoise Dorléac (just before her tragic death) play twins who dream of romance and life in the city from their tiny seaside town. The “entranced, romantic, utopian, and utterly French” (Michael Atkinson, The Village Voice) Jacques Demy packs his CinemaScope canvas with energetically choreographed dance numbers (featuring a sublime Gene Kelly) and eye-popping color while Michel Legrand contributes the brilliant, jazz-inflected score. BAMcinématek presents Demy’s delightful follow-up to The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) for a week-long run in a new restoration. DCP. A Janus Films release. APR 18—27 (Eight Days, 11 Films) BACK WITH A VENGEANCE The women’s revenge tale may have been fodder for many a lurid exploitation flick, but that is merely one chapter in this particular history of cinematic retribution and reprisal. Following the success of Vengeance is Hers in February, BAMcinématek brings back series highlights, new additions, and rare discoveries for Back With a Vengeance, gathering even more of cinema’s most unforgettable heroines and anti-heroines as they seize control and take no prisoners. FILMS INCLUDE: The Bride Wore Black (Truffaut, 1968), Bury Me an Angel (Peeters, 1972), Flamingo Road (Curtiz, 1949), Foxy Brown (Hill,1974), I Was a Teenage Serial Killer (Jacobson, 1993), Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (Akerman, 1975), The Little Foxes (Wyler, 1941), Nine to Five (Higgins, 1980), Riddles of the Sphinx (Mulvey & Wollen,1977), Sudden Impact (Eastwood, 1983), Xala (Sembene, 1975). APR 30—MAY 6 (One Week, Nine Films) ELLEN BURSTYN Burstyn in person! In a remarkable six-decade (and counting) career, Ellen Burstyn has gone from leading light of New American Cinema to one of the grande dames of Hollywood, scooping up every major award (Oscar, Tony, and Emmy) along the way. Her complex, fully lived-in characters are models of superbly judged, wholly committed screen acting. Highlights include Burstyn’s breakthrough role in Peter Bogdanovich’s The Last Picture Show (1971) and Martin Scorsese’s Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore (1974), featuring Burstyn’s Oscar-winning performance as a New Mexico housewife who goes on the road to chase her dream of becoming a singer. ALSO INCLUDES: A Dream of Passion (Dassin, 1978), The Exorcist (Friedkin, 1973), The King of Marvin Gardens (Rafelson, 1972), Providence (Resnais, 1977), Resurrection (Petrie,1980), Requiem for a Dream (Aronofsky, 2000), Same Time, Next Year (Mulligan, 1978). MAY 7—JUN 1 (Nine Days, Nine Films) PUNK ROCK GIRLS Lukas Moodysson in person for a sneak preview of We Are The Best! To mark the release of Lukas Moodysson’s (Show Me Love, Together) punk rock valentine, We Are the Best!, BAMcinématek pays homage to the fearless, mohawk-sporting, safety pin-wearing, guitar-wielding women who stick it to The Man. Punk Rock Girls opens with a sneak preview of Moodysson’s new film, which premiered at Toronto last year and simultaneously “captures the DIY empowerment of punk rock, the bond of female friendships, and parodies the era’s Oi!-scenester stances all in one blissful swoop” (David Fear, The Village Voice). Other highlights include Lou Adler’s brash and bratty music industry satire Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains (1982), Derek Jarman’s post-punk anti-comedy Jubilee (1978), and Gillian Armstrong’s punk rock musical Starstruck (1982). Sneak preview of We Are the Best! courtesy Magnolia Pictures. ALSO INCLUDES: Black Box (Beth B., 1978), Breaking Glass (Gibson, 1980), Desperately Seeking Susan (Seidelman, 1985), Josie and the Pussycats (Elfont & Kaplan, 2001), Liquid Sky (Tsukerman, 1982), Out of the Blue (Hopper, 1980), Times Square (Moyle, 1980), You Killed Me First (Kern, 1985). MAY 9—20 (Seven Days, Seven Films) COOL WORLDS: THE ANIMATION OF RALPH BAKSHI Bakshi in person! The outrageous, groundbreaking, rude, crude, and weirdly beautiful films of Ralph Bakshi pushed the art of animation into bold new territory. Combining frank depictions of sex, violence, and societal ills with a freewheeling, surrealistic style that pushed back against decades of Disneyfied fantasias, they demonstrated the medium’s capacity for ultra-personal, defiantly uncompromising expression. Highlights include Bakshi’s feature film debut Fritz the Cat (1972), the first animated film to receive an X rating; and Heavy Traffic (1973), a kaleidoscopic tale of pimps, pushers, pinball, and an aspiring cartoonist in nightmarish 1970s New York. Bakshi will appear in person for Q&As following the screenings of Heavy Traffic and Coonskin (1973). ALSO INCLUDES: American Pop (1981), Cool World (1992), Hey Good Lookin’ (1982), Wizards (1977). MAY 23—26 (Four Days, Fourteen Films) FILMAFRICA This year’s cinematic companion to the 37th annual DanceAfrica, in association with the New York African Film Festival, features films from the Ivory Coast, Sudan, South Africa, Kenya, France, the United States, and a special focus on Madagascar. Highlights include Haminiaina Ratovoarivony’s Legends of Madagascar (2012), a “lively and impassioned” (Ben Sachs, The Chicago Reader) road movie in which three friends confront the future of their country as they travel from the capital to the deep countryside; Roberta Durrant’s Felix (2013), the weekend’s BAMkids Movie Matinee, following a teenager who defies his mother to pursue his dream of becoming a saxophonist; and Nuotama Frances Bodomo’s Boneshaker (2013), a short film about the African immigrant experience starring Oscar nominee Quvenzhané Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild) and shot in gloriously grainy Super 16mm. ALSO INCLUDES: Angano, Angano (Paes, 1989), Burn it Up Djassa (Solo, 2012), Cassa, Cassa (Lefebure, 2013), The Child of the Sun (Louhichi, 2013), Faisal Goes West (Brown, 2012), Felix (Durrant, 2013), Fueling Poverty (Baku, 2012), Nairobi Half Life (Gitonga, 2012), The Promise (Okunrinboye, 2013), Something Necessary (Kibinge, 2013), When the Stars Meet the Sea (Rajaonarivelo, 1996).

  • The Uses of Animation 1
    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

  • Animation Stagnation Or: How America Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Mouse by Billy Tooma
    Animation Stagnation or: How America Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Mouse by Billy Tooma With all the animated flms that come out reason behind this is that Disney just keeps these days, it can actually be somewhat difcult putting out one hit after another and audiences to distinguish a Disney-made one from the expect perfection each time. Unfortunately, for others, seeing as how the competition tries on a the company that has made Mickey Mouse a consistent basis to copy the style that Walt Disney household name for over 90 years, that isn’t the himself unofcially trademarked as far back as case. Even though people are showing up to the the late 1920s. Te very thought that something cinemas, they aren’t doing it because they expect is being put out by Disney can lead to biased to see a screen gem. Tey’re doing it because appeal. In 1994, Warner Bros. had produced an it’s felt that they owe something, possibly their animated feature entitled Tumbelina. In one childhood, to Disney. But, does that mean of its frst test screenings, the overall audience people are being foolish for constantly shelling consensus was low, discouraging the executives out money to see a Disney animated flm every because they felt theirs was as fne a product as year or so? Te answer is ‘no,’ because Disney their competition.

It should help them discover, understand and enjoy music as an art form, an intellectual endeavor, a medium of self-expression, and a means of social growth. Music is considered basic to the total educational program. To each new generation this portion of our heritage is a source of inspiration, enjoyment, and knowledge which helps to shape a way of life. Our music curriculum enriches and maintains this life and draws on our nation and the world for its ever- expanding course content, taking the student beyond the realm of the ordinary, everyday experience. Music is an art that expresses emotion, indicates mood, and helps students to respond to their environment. It develops the student’s character through its emphasis on responsibility, self-discipline, leadership, concentration, and respect for and awareness of the contributions of others. Music contains technical, psychological, artistic, and academic concepts.

  • Between Hybridity and Hegemony in K-Pop's Global Popularity
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 2367–2386 1932–8036/20170005 Between Hybridity and Hegemony in K-Pop’s Global Popularity: A Case of Girls’ Generation’s American Debut GOOYONG KIM1 Cheyney University of Pennsylvania, USA Examining the sociocultural implications of Korean popular music (K-pop) idol group Girls’ Generation’s (SNSD’s) debut on Late Show With David Letterman, this article discusses how the debut warrants a critical examination on K-pop’s global popularity. Investigating critically how the current literature on K-pop’s success focuses on cultural hybridity, this article maintains that SNSD’s debut clarifies how K-pop’s hybridity does not mean dialectical interactions between American form and Korean content. Furthermore, this article argues that cultural hegemony as a constitutive result of sociohistorical and politico- economic arrangements provides a better heuristic tool, and K-pop should be understood as a part of the hegemony of American pop and neoliberalism. Keywords: Korean popular music, cultural hybridity, cultural hegemony, neoliberalism As one of the most sought-after Korean popular music (K-pop) groups, Girls’ Generation’s (SNSD’s) January 2012 debut on two major network television talk shows in the United States warrants critical reconsideration of the current discourse on cultural hybridity as the basis of K-pop’s global popularity. Prior to Psy’s “Gangnam Style” phenomenon, SNSD’s “The Boys” was the first time a Korean group appeared on an American talk show. It marks a new stage in K-pop’s global reach and influence. With a surge of other K- pop idols gaining global fame, especially in Japan, China, and other Asian countries, SNSD’s U.S.

  • Unbecoming Adults: Adolescence and the Technologies of Difference in Post
    Unbecoming Adults: Adolescence and the Technologies of Difference in Post-1960s US Ethnic Literature and Culture DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By James K. Harris, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Martin Joseph Ponce, Advisor Dr. Lynn Itagaki Dr. Jian Chen Copyright by James K. Harris 2017 Abstract Adolescence has always been a cultural construction. The designation of a separate space apart from the presumed innocence of childhood and the myths of autonomy and responsibility that come to define adulthood is a surprisingly modern phenomenon. As such, adolescence bears the traces of the ideologies of race, gender, sexuality, and nation that attend so much of the period that calls itself “modernity.” My dissertation asks how writers and artists of color imagine themselves into the archive of coming of age narratives in post-1960s US literature and culture. In thinking about the importance of identity in the period following the advent of nominal civil rights, I offer the “long(er) civil rights movement” as a way of resisting the move to periodize the struggles through which difference has historically accrued meaning in the US nation- state. Each chapter centers around a “technology,” the academy, the body, the entertainment industry, and the internet, which is essential to the formation of adolescent identity in the post-war era, alongside a key term in the lexicon of American culture that accrues added meanings when filtered through the experience of difference.
