  • Cannes Critics Week Panel Films Screened During TIFF Cinematheque's Fifty Years of Discovery: Cannes Critics Week (Jan. 18-22
    Cannes Critics Week panel Films screened during TIFF Cinematheque’s Fifty Years of Discovery: Cannes Critics Week (Jan. 18-22, 2012) In honour of the fiftieth anniversary of Semaine de la Critique (Cannes Critics Week), TIFF Cinematheque invited eight local and international critics and opinion-makers to each select and introduce a film that was discovered at the festival. The diversity of their selections—everything from revered art-house classics to scrappy American indies, cutting-edge cult hits and intriguingly unknown efforts by famous names—testifies to the festival’s remarkable breadth and eclecticism, and its key role in discovering new generations of filmmaking talent. Programmed by Brad Deane, Manager of Film Programmes. Clerks. Dir. Kevin Smith, 1994, U.S. 92 mins. Production Co.: View Askew Productions / Miramax Films. Introduced by George Stroumboulopoulos, host of CBC’s Stroumboulopoulos Tonight, formerly known as The Hour. Stroumboulopoulos on Clerks: “When Kevin Smith made Clerks and it got on the big screen, you felt like our voice was winning.” Living Together (Vive ensemble). Dir. Anna Karina, 1973, France. 92 mins. Production Co.: Raska Productions / Société Nouvelle de Cinématographie (SNC). Introduced by author and former critic for the Chicago Reader, Jonthan Rosenblum. Rosenblum on Living Together: “I saw Living Together when it was first screened at Cannes in 1973, and will never forget the brutality with which this gently first feature was received. One prominent English critic, the late Alexander Walker, asked Anna Karina after the screening whether she realized that her first film was only being shown because she was once married to a famous film director; she sweetly asked in return whether she should have therefore rejected the Critics Week’s invitation.

  • Dig! Discussion Guide
    www.influencefilmclub.com Dig! Discussion Guide Director: Ondi Timoner Year: 2004 Time: 107 min You might know this director from: Cool It (2010) We Live In Public (2009) Join Us (2007) FILM SUMMARY In 1995, filmmaker Ondi Timoner set out to film 10 bands on the verge of being signed by major record labels in order to analyze the relationship between art and commerce. Anton Newcombe of The Brian Jonestown Massacre was included in that mosh-pit of musicians. He also suggested his friends, The Dandy Warhols, and the rest became music history. DIG! follows the bands over the course of 7 years as they traverse the turbulent music industry. Courtney Taylor- Taylor and his band, The Dandy Warhols, are filmed as they record albums, sign a major label deal with Capitol Records, make extravagant music videos, travel the wide world, and party with the hip and famous. Anton Newcombe and his band, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, are also filmed as they record albums, reject labels and listeners, and become more known for their raucous infighting and drug abuse than for their music. Pure rock ‘n’ roll viewing, the film is a well-rounded examination of a particular time in popular culture. The choices of modern-day musicians play out over the course of time. Hell-bent to create uncensored music untouched by the corporate machine, Newcombe demonstrates the hard-toiled consequences of his decisions. Taylor-Taylor and band members, on the other hand, rise from strength to strength and luxury to luxury. DIG! proves that like oil and water, money and music just do not mix for some musicians.

  • Articles Issue 9: Articles Romantic Comedy and the Construction of Heterosexuality
    4/10/2014 Scope | Issue 9| Articles Issue 9: Articles Romantic Comedy and the Construction of Heterosexuality Ewan Kirkland, Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College, UK Cinema viewers of Richard Curtis' multi­stranded romantic comedy Love Actually (2003) would probably have been unaware that the film originally included a lesbian relationship. Consisting of the headmistress of Karen's (Emma Thompson) son's school, and the teacher's girlfriend, at home, dying of cancer, this couple now appears amongst the DVD deleted scenes. In his commentary, Curtis explains the couple's removal was purely a matter of running time and artistic continuity. However, the ease with which the two women's relationship was edited, their evident isolation within a text made of interconnected storylines, together with the pair's comparative age in a film predominantly featuring bright young couples, and the fact that one is close to death, indicates the precarious position of sexually­marginalized identities within romantic comedy cinema. As suggested by Andy Medhurst's (2005) acerbic re­titling of Curtis' 1994 film Four Surviving Heterosexuals and a Dead Queer, homosexual and lesbian characters do not fare well within a genre almost exclusively geared towards male/female union. That sexuality in romantic comedy is limited to heterosexuality as the privileged, even the only, form of sexual expression permitted, seems a rather obvious point to make. Although queer characters may feature, even in significant roles, the genre is primarily about heterosexual characters, heterosexual relationships, and consequently, about heterosexuality. This paper explores not the absent homosexuality but the ever­so present heterosexuality which pervades the romantic comedy genre and the various myths by which it is characterized.
