  • Lonely Places, Dangerous Ground
    Introduction Nicholas Ray and the Potential of Cinema Culture STEVEN RYBIN AND WILL SCHEIBEL THE DIRECTOR OF CLASSIC FILMS SUCH AS They Live by Night, In a Lonely Place, Johnny Guitar, Rebel Without a Cause, and Bigger Than Life, among others, Nicholas Ray was the “cause célèbre of the auteur theory,” as critic Andrew Sarris once put it (107).1 But unlike his senior colleagues in Hollywood such as Alfred Hitchcock or Howard Hawks, he remained a director at the margins of the American studio system. So too has he remained at the margins of academic film scholarship. Many fine schol‑ arly works on Ray, of course, have been published, ranging from Geoff Andrew’s important auteur study The Films of Nicholas Ray: The Poet of Nightfall and Bernard Eisenschitz’s authoritative biography Nicholas Ray: An American Journey (both first published in English in 1991 and 1993, respectively) to books on individual films by Ray, such as Dana Polan’s 1993 monograph on In a Lonely Place and J. David Slocum’s 2005 col‑ lection of essays on Rebel Without a Cause. In 2011, the year of his centennial, the restoration of his final film,We Can’t Go Home Again, by his widow and collaborator Susan Ray, signaled renewed interest in the director, as did the publication of a new biography, Nicholas Ray: The Glorious Failure of an American Director, by Patrick McGilligan. Yet what Nicholas Ray’s films tell us about Classical Hollywood cinema, what it was and will continue to be, is far from certain. 1 © 2014 State University of New York Press, Albany 2 Steven Rybin and Will Scheibel After all, what most powerfully characterizes Ray’s films is not only what they are—products both of Hollywood’s studio and genre systems—but also what they might be.

  • AU Professor Has Hand in Creating Iconic Film to Be Shown at Festivals 8/30/11
    AU professor has hand in creating iconic film to be shown at festivals 8/30/11 In 1973, as a undergraduate at Harpur College at Binghamton University, Peer Bode - now a professor of video art in the School of Art & Design at Alfred University -- was among the students who enrolled in a class on collaborative film-making, taught by Nicholas Ray, a legendary director whose credits include Rebel without a Cause, Johnny Guitar, They Live by Night and 55 Days at Peking.As a class, the students collaborated on what turned out to be Ray's last film, We Can't Go Home, "an experimental, multi-narrative film bordering on cinema and visual arts" that is also described as "Ray's posthumous masterpiece."It was an experience that had a profound effect on Bode, as an artist and as a teacher. "Working with cinema auteur Nicholas Ray for two years was remarkable," Bode said. "I was fortunate to have had the opportunity. As a student, I saw a very large project being built up piece by piece. We learned filmmaking, moving image making, by making the film. I experienced being active in camera work, lighting, and editing. Learning was embedded in doing. "I know that discovery has entered into my own teaching. Learning the richness of ideas and the richness of one's medium by engaging in it, is an immersive material making and thinking. The ideas have agency. The materials have agency. This practice is empowering and rewarding. We were making a multi image, multi narrative using 35 mm, 16 mm and 8 mm film and also " video using the Paik-Abe video synthesizer.

  • CUL Keller Archive Catalogue
    HANS KELLER ARCHIVE: working copy A1: Unpublished manuscripts, 1940-49 A1/1: Unpublished manuscripts, 1940-49: independent work This section contains all Keller’s unpublished manuscripts dating from the 1940s, apart from those connected with his collaboration with Margaret Phillips (see A1/2 below). With the exception of one pocket diary from 1938, the Archive contains no material prior to his arrival in Britain at the end of that year. After his release from internment in 1941, Keller divided himself between musical and psychoanalytical studies. As a violinist, he gained the LRAM teacher’s diploma in April 1943, and was relatively active as an orchestral and chamber-music player. As a writer, however, his principal concern in the first half of the decade was not music, but psychoanalysis. Although the majority of the musical writings listed below are undated, those which are probably from this earlier period are all concerned with the psychology of music. Similarly, the short stories, poems and aphorisms show their author’s interest in psychology. Keller’s notes and reading-lists from this period indicate an exhaustive study of Freudian literature and, from his correspondence with Margaret Phillips, it appears that he did have thoughts of becoming a professional analyst. At he beginning of 1946, however, there was a decisive change in the focus of his work, when music began to replace psychology as his principal subject. It is possible that his first (accidental) hearing of Britten’s Peter Grimes played an important part in this change, and Britten’s music is the subject of several early articles.

  • Cockney Cherokees on the Skyline
    ‘Cockney Cherokees on the Sky-line © Luke McKernan, 1999 COCKNEY CHEROKEES ON THE SKY-LINE Luke McKernan Museum of the Moving Image, 12 May 1999 The genesis of this talk came when I was invited to contribute to a film festival held in Udine, Italy, on the theme of the European Western. We are all familiar with the Italian, or 'spaghetti' Westerns of the 1960s and 70s, but the Eurowestern festival made it clear that other European national cinemas had, for whatever reasons, produced Westerns of their own, and had had a long history of doing so. Some were remarkably good, many were engagingly odd, a handful were thoroughly, embarassingly bad. We saw Westerns from Italy, naturally, several of a violent character from Spain, and the peculiar Der Kaiser von Kalifornien from Hitler's Germany which is showing at the NFT this month. There were the romantic and beautiful Winnetou films from West Germany, severely political Westerns from East Germany, a spoof Western from Czechoslovakia, a French Western set in the Carmargue, a silent Corsican Western and a Finnish Western reputedly filmed in a sandpit just outside Helsinki. And there were British Westerns. I'm not quite sure why they thought of me to be responsible for such an unlikely theme, except that I have a taste for some of the odder corners of film history, but in any case I uncovered what I hoped was an intriguing and worthwhile history, in effect an alternative history of British cinema, the fruits of which I would like to present to you this evening.

  • The Boxers on the Silver Screen: the Red Lantern (1919), Alarm in Peking (1937) and 55 Days at Peking (1963)*
    Thoralf Klein Thoralf Klein The Boxers on the Silver Screen ˙176˙ The Boxers on the Silver Screen: The Red Lantern (1919), Alarm in Peking (1937) and 55 Days at Peking (1963)* The first ‘Western’ narratives of the Boxer War appeared well before the fight- ing was actually over.1 Although this should caution us against assuming a clear-cut transition from event to memory, it was firstly the relief of Beijing on 14 August 1900 and, more importantly, the formal conclusion of the war through the Boxer Protocol of 7 September 1901 that allowed the retelling of the calamitous and harrowing occurrences. Novels, popular histories and short films repackaged an event that had been experienced as open and ongoing into coherent plots, complete from beginning to end. In so doing, they created a mainstream that increasingly (and narrowly) identified the Boxer War with * I wish to thank Stef Franck (Vlaamse Dienst voor Filmcultuur, Brussels, Belgium) for drawing my attention to The Red Lantern and generously providing me with a copy of the film and the accompanying volume; the Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Stiftung (Wiesbaden, Germany) for lending me VHS and DVD copies of Alarm in Peking at various stages of my research; and the Margaret Herrick Library (Beverly Hills, CA) for its support. Thanks also to Christina Till for her critical reading of an earlier draft. 1 Arguably the first book-length fictional treatment that takes the diplomatic and -mil itary conflict into account (though not the first on the Boxers) is Julian Croskey, The S. G.: A Romance of Peking (Brooklyn, NY: Mason, 1900), published even before the siege of the Legations Quarter ended.
