  • And What It Means
    WASHINGTON ( AP)--Henry A. Kissinger said yesterday Hanoi has balked at President Nixo n's Vietnam peace proposals, presented in a nationwide ele- vision speech Tuesday night, on two counts: the fine print on blueprints for a U.S. wit idrawal and the election of a new Saigon government. Kissinger, w ho was Nixon's clandestine go-between in 12 just-disclosed H IXOH S secret Paris c conferences with key figures from Hanoi, said at a rare news conference he still hopes for a negotiating breakthrough. He called th e Presidents eight-point proposal a flexible one, not a take-it-or-leal ve-it proposition. The Presiden t's far-travelled assistant for national security affairs said Nixon, by publicizing 26 months of secret negotiations in an address peaceto the nation, may spur North Vietnam to resume talks "on a more urgent basis.", Nixon unfold ed a peace offer that includes an Indochina cease-fire, withdrawal of American forces and release of war pris- oners, new elections in South Vietnam with the Viet Cong participating, and resignation of the Saigon government a month before the internationally supervised balloting. proposal. Under the Nixon plan, all these developments would take place within six months of a Washington-Hanoi agreement. The basics of the proposal have ie an in 7hanni's hands since Octoberr, Nixon said, bu t Hanoi has given no response.

  • Fright—In All of Its Forms—Has Always Been an Essential Part of the Moviegoing Experience
    SCARY MOVIES Fright—in all of its forms—has always been an essential part of the moviegoing experience. No wonder directors have figured out so many ways to horrify an audience. FINAL TOUCHES: (opposite) Director Karl Freund and makeup artist Jack P. Pierce spent eight hours a day applying Boris Karloff’s makeup in The Mummy (1932). This was the first directing job for the noted German cinematographer Freund, who was hired two days before production started.

  • Enfant Diabolique in International Cinema
    Enfant Diabolique in International Cinema By Kenneth Tan Fall 1996 Issue of KINEMA THE PRESENCE OF HORROR GENRE genre at the Singapore International Film Festival 1996 inspired these recollections: John Carpenter’s remake of the seminal Village of the Damned featured in this year’s Singapore Festival of Arts All-Night Horrorthon, is a chilling account of what happens when a small community of sinister children, endowed with telepathic and destructive powers, gradually unfolds evil plans for world domination. In this current age of contemporary film-making technology, the film’s sound and special effects are superb, but that isn’t what makes the film frightening. It is the notion of innocent, ”helpless” children, rising above the domination that parents, teachers and adults at large have traditionally exerted over them, turning on the conventional authority figures, threatening them, violating them, and ultimately triumphing over them. This is the theme of the enfant diabolique, or diabolical child, which has found expression and gained favour in numerous films made all over the world. It is a sub-category of the horror genre, and its lasting appeallies in this massaging of a basic fear -- just like the fear of animals going berserk and turning on their masters, which was the platform for the Jaws-inspired disaster epics of the seventies. This article presents and compares various films in which the theme of the ”enfant diabolique” hasbeen explored. One of the best-known titles in this category must surely be The Omen (together with the three sequels that it spawned). The purest exemplar of the diabolical kid is the devil child -- Satan incarnate, coming into the mortal world to conquer good and take over humanity.

Brooklyn, NY/Jan 10, 2014—From Friday, February 7 through Tuesday, February 18, BAMcinématek presents Vengeance is Hers. From screwball proto-feminism to witchy gothic horror to cerebral auteurist classics, this 20-film series gathers some of cinema’s most unforgettable heroines and anti-heroines as they seize control and take no prisoners. Seen through the eyes of some of the world’s greatest directors, including female filmmakers such as Chantal Akerman and Kathryn Bigelow, these films explore the full gamut of cinematic retribution in all its thrilling, unnerving dimensions. Vengeance is Hers is curated by Nellie Killian of BAMcinématek and Thomas Beard of Light Industry. Opening the series on Friday, February 7 is Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Medea (1969), a film adaptation of the Euripides tragedy which follows the eponymous sorceress on a vicious crusade for revenge. Starring legendary opera singer Maria Callas in her first and only film role, Medea marks the final entry in Pasolini’s “Mythical Cycle” which also includes Oedipus Rex (1967), Teorema (1968), and Porcile (1969). “Brilliant and brutal” (Vincent Canby, The New York Times), Medea kicks off this series showcasing international films from a variety of genres and creating an alternate history to the clichéd images of avenging women.
