  • Occult Is ​Other​: What, Where, Who, Why
    Occult is Other: What, Where, Who, Why, How ​ ​ Occultus (the occult), according to Occultus: the hidden and macabre in literature and ​ film, is "that which is hidden, secret, mysterious, inexplicable, magic, alchemy, not readily ​ illuminated and not easily ascertained or understood" (Tobienne, “Occultus” 2). The occult, by nature, is not evil, but its practitioners are imbibed with a certain level of power that the mundane are not afforded, which makes their actions more subject to scrutiny. As Tobienne describes, “there is more to the occult than things that go ‘bump’ in the night” (Occultus, 2). ​ ​ Temptation, manipulation, and rejection of accepted mores are themes that prevail among the practitioners of the occult, simply because the occult itself falls outside the boundaries of society and all of its conventions. The presence of the occult weaves an intellectual underworld beneath the curtain of the ​ ​ common quotidian dimension. The occult is a mechanism of deceit--therefore, it can only be undone by knowledge. However, this presents a dichotomous conundrum: one may only become a part of the occult by gaining sight of it, but with this knowledge, the occult--that which is secret--becomes a candid facet of one’s reality. The occult, then, must be transitive: unique to every individual and ultimately forever changing as the fabric of their reality metamorphoses. This comprehensive essay seeks to understand the occult as the creator, guardian, and mentor of another realm which exists outside of the physical and spiritual peripheries of the familiar one as well as why it exists and how it is destroyed.

  • Sony Pictures Classics to Release Roman Polanski's Carnage in North
    SONY PICTURES CLASSICS TO RELEASE ROMAN POLANSKI’S CARNAGE IN NORTH AMERICA NEW YORK (April 14, 2011) – Sony Pictures Classics announced today that they will release Roman Polanski’s new film, CARNAGE, in North America. Polanski penned the script with Yasmina Reza, which is adapted from Reza’s 2009 Tony Award® winning play God of Carnage. CARNAGE is produced by Said Ben Said (THE WITNESSES, THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN) and stars Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz and John C. Reilly. SPC expects an end of year release. Sony Pictures Classics acquired the film from Said Ben Said and ICM’s Jeff Berg. Polanski assembled an all-star crew to work on CARNAGE, director of photographer Pawel Edelman (THE GHOST WRITER, RAY, THE PIANIST), production designer Dean Tavoularis (THE NINTH GATE, THE GODFATHER, THE OUTSIDERS), editor Herve de Luze (THE GHOST WRITER, WILD GRASS, TELL NO ONE), costume designer Milena Canonero (DARJEELING LIMITED, MARIE ANTOINETTE, A CLOCKWORK ORANGE) and composer Alberto Iglesias (TALK TO HER, VOLVER, THE CONSTANT GARDENER, THE KITE RUNNER). Set in contemporary Brooklyn, New York, CARNAGE centers on two pairs of parents one of whose child has hurt the other at a public park, who meet to discuss the matter in a civilized manner. However, as the evening goes on, the parents become increasingly childish, resulting in the evening devolving into chaos. “In today’s world of moviemaking, Roman Polanski, his screenwriting partner Yasmina Reza, his cast, his crew, and his producer Said Ben Said represent the best of the best. We are so fortunate and pleased to bring CARNAGE, which promises to be an experience of intense emotion and hilarity, to the American audiences,” states Sony Pictures Classics.

Not one has the poise to play the leading role. He is getting ready to leave when Vanda appears: an unbridled and brazen whirlwind of energy. Vanda embodies everything Thomas hates. She is crude, idiotic, and will stop at nothing to get the part. But when Thomas finds himself backed into a corner and lets her try her luck, he is amazed to see Vanda transformed. Not only has she found the right props and costumes, but she understands the character (whose name she shares) intimately, and knows all her lines by heart. The "audition" lengthens and intensifies, and Thomas’s attraction starts to develop into an obsession… 3 INTERVIEW WITH ROMAN POLANSKI / DIRECTOR, CO-WRITER AND PRODUCER How did you come across David Ives’ play, inspired by Sacher-Masoch’s novel? It was thanks to my agent, Jeff Berg.

    FALL SEASON KICKS OFF WITH MAJOR RETROSPECTIVE ON ROMAN POLANSKI AT THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART Roman Polanski September 7–30, 2011 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters New York, August 10, 2011—The Museum of Modern Art recognizes the achievements of Roman Polanski with a complete retrospective of the filmmaker's works, September 7–30, 2011, in The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters. Over the course of a half century, Polanski has become widely recognized as one of the premier international filmmakers, directing films in Poland, England, the U.S., Italy, and France and working with distinguished actors such as Jack Nicholson, Adrien Brody, Catherine Deneuve, Mia Farrow, Ben Kingsley, and Nastassja Kinski. Polanski’s films have garnered eight Academy Awards and over 25 nominations, among many other accolades. The retrospective will include all of Polankski’s 18 feature films and a collection of his early student short films. This exhibition is organized by Charles Silver, Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art. Born in Paris, Polanski moved to Poland, the homeland of his parents, shortly before the start of World War II. Losing his mother in a concentration camp, Polanski lived in hiding as a Jewish fugitive in Nazi-occupied Poland. After the war ended, Polanski reunited with his father and shortly thereafter enrolled at the National Film School in Lodz, where he directed a number of short films including A Murderer (1957), Two Men and a Wardrobe (1958), and When Angels Fall (1959), all of which will be shown as part of the Polanski’s Student Films program in this exhibition.
