  • Reiniger Research Proposal 10-29-17
    RESURRECTING THE STUDY OF A FORGOTTEN ANIMATOR: A REOPENING OF THE CASE FOR LOTTE REINIGER Emily Rawson Loyola Marymount University Honors Program Abstract This proposal requests funding to access and view a series of historical German films and to purchase materials for the recreation of key sequences of the animated films of Lotte Reiniger, a historical German animator. From this work, two animated films will be made: a short narrative piece and a longer informational film to investigate and interpret Reiniger’s medium and artistic choices in the context of German expressionism. The goal of this work is to recognize Lotte Reiniger’s films as artistic achievements worthy of including Reiniger in academic discussions about contemporary innovative German filmmakers – discussions from which she is currently neglected because her work has been branded as impressive feats of craft rather than film art. Rawson !1 Introduction The profession of filmmaking splits itself between intersectional focuses on developing technology, earning revenue, pursuing art, and reflecting or even influencing the societies in which they are made.1 Recognizing these four distinct motives in making films, film historians can work to understand films both as accomplishments of innovation in the technical craft and as open texts better understood within the contexts of their crafting: the former interpretation requiring that historians master knowledge of the technology available and previous uses of cinematic techniques, and the latter requiring that historians acquaint

    Lotte Reiniger Lived: June 2, 1899 - June 19, 1981 Worked as: animator, assistant director, co-director, director, film actress, illustrator, screenwriter, special effects Worked In: Canada, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom: England by Frances Guerin, Anke Mebold Lotte Reiniger made over sixty films, of which eleven are considered lost and fifty to have survived. Of the surviving films for which she had full artistic responsibility, eleven were created in the silent period if the three-part Doktor Dolittle (1927-1928) is considered a single film. Reiniger is known to have worked on—or contributed silhouette sequences to—at least another seven films in the silent era, and a further nine in the sound era. Additionally, there is evidence of her involvement in a number of film projects that remained at conceptual or pre-production stages. Reiniger is best known for her pioneering silhouette films, in which paper and cardboard cut-out figures, weighted with lead, and hinged at the joints—the more complex the characters’ narrative role, the larger their range of movements, and therefore, the more hinges for the body—were hand-manipulated from frame to frame and shot via stop motion photography. The figures were placed on an animation table and usually lit from below. In some of her later sound films the figures were lit both from above and below, depending on the desired visual effect. Framed with elaborate backgrounds made from varying layers of translucent paper or colorful acetate foils for color films, Reiniger’s characters were created and animated with exceptional skill and precision. Reiniger’s early films ranged in length from brief shorts of less than 300 feet to Die Abenteuer des Prinzen Achmed/The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1923-1926), a film that is arguably the first full-length animated feature and is thus considered to be among the milestones of cinema history.

  • Reiniger's Carmen Cuts Her Own Capers Harriet Margolis
    Shadow and Substance: Reiniger’s Carmen Cuts Her Own Capers Harriet Margolis Lotte Reiniger’s silhouette-animated Carmen (1933) prefigures later cinematic attempts to challenge popular patriarchal narratives by rewriting them in revisionist feminist modes. This chapter traces how Reiniger, a pioneer in animation, reinterprets the Carmen narrative so that Carmen herself takes up the position of subject rather than object of her own story, while the male characters—don José and Escamillo, and even the bull—become the objects of her gaze that can only react to her desire and her control. In this revisionist take on the story, Reiniger provides us with an unusually happy ending to the story, as Carmen and Escamillo ride off together at the end. Reiniger’s reworking is paralleled by the musical accompaniment of Peter Gellhorn. Although Reiniger herself claimed to be apolitical, aiming above all to charm through her animation, the chapter elaborates the different ways in which her Carmen functions as feminist comedy, in which the delicacy of her silhouettes ultimately cannot disguise the strength of a woman to undercut patriarchal values. Animation Female gaze Gellhorn, Peter Music and film Parody Reiniger, Lotte: Carmen Defying the tragic fate that Carmen usually meets, Lotte Reiniger’s Carmen (1933) rewrites her story, ending on a happy and comic note. This time, Carmen literally removes herself into a better situation, her physical strength and dexterity as well as her sexual powers overwhelming the males she encounters, human and bull alike. From a male point of view she may still seem to be a dangerous femme fatale, but since this version is her story as she might tell it, we can forget about don José’s desires.

ALTERNATE LOGLINE (25 words): Once upon a time, long before Disney and other animation giants, Lotte Reiniger ignited the screen with shadows, light, and a pair of magical scissors. SHORT SYNOPSIS (59 words): Before Walt Disney, there was a trailblazing woman at the vanguard of animation. Influenced by folktales and legends, Lotte Reiniger was a tour de force of creativity and innovation: she invented the multiplane camera and created the oldest surviving animated feature. This stunning film explores the life and times of a woman who is finally being given her due. LONG SYNOPSIS (185 words): Once upon a time, long before Disney and the other animation giants, Lotte Reiniger ignited the screen with shadows, light, and a pair of magical scissors. And so with music, magic, and a stirring narration by Lotte herself, LOTTE THAT SILHOUETTE GIRL tells the largely unknown story of one of animations’ biggest influencers. Her unique style of storytelling and visual contrast inspired many, including modern day filmmakers Henry Selick, Anthony Lucas and many others. Lotte's 1926 film, The Adventures of Prince Achmed is the oldest surviving feature length animation, and she also invented the multi‐plane camera, both of which changed the field of animation forever. And sadly, both feats are often mistakenly credited to Walt Disney.

  • Work in Progress
    JANN HAWORTH PROJECT AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR LIBERTY BLAKE MURAL COLLAGE ARTIST AND DESIGNER LYNN BLODGETT PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER WORK IN PROGRESS Te Brigham Young University Museum of Art presents Work in Progress, a collaborative traveling exhibition that pays tribute to important women who have been catalysts for change, past and present. Artistic Director Jann Haworth, together with collage artist Liberty Blake, asked community members to join in creating stencils of signifcant women who have shaped our history. No stranger to transformative collaborations, Haworth worked with Peter Blake to create the Beatles’ iconic Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover in 1967 and later produced the SLC Pepper mural in downtown Salt Lake City in 2004, inviting members of the community to participate in the process. Haworth then began to conceive of a socially relevant and timely mural that would honor the countless achievements of women across disciplines. Driven by a desire to champion the critical successes of these women, Haworth organized a preliminary list. Seeking recommendations from museum visitors, friends, artists, social workers, colleagues, and government representatives, Haworth gradually generated a richly diverse compilation—and then invited local volunteers to make stencils of their personal favorites. Opposite the completed mural in this gallery are portraits of the volunteers taken by acclaimed photographer Lynn Blodgett, suggesting the enduring infuence of these dynamic women on contemporary society. First exhibited at Utah Museum of Contemporary Art in Salt Lake City at the end of 2016, the murals then consisted of 7 panels, spanning 28 ft. in length. Haworth envisions an organic evolution of the project as each successive institution invites its community to add new stencils to the ever-growing mural.

Anthony Institute for Gender and Women’s Studies; Eastman’s departments of Chamber Music, Composition, and Piano, as well as the All-Events Committee; and the Dean of the Eastman School of Music. A Word from Douglas Lowry, Dean of the Eastman School of Music As it begins its seventh year, Eastman’s Women in Music Festival enjoys increasing and ever-widening success, and continues to highlight the achievements of women in all aspects of music. This is most visible in composition and performance, but women also play vital roles “behind the scenes” in teaching, scholarship, and administration. The work of women, whether well-known, brand-new, or sometimes hidden for centuries, has injected important content and energy into our historical con- sciousness, both at Eastman and in the larger musical world. In the words of our Women in Music Festival director, Sylvie Beaudette: “Eastman graduates are everywhere in the world; they will perform and teach music by women as a matter of course, because the music is good.” For this year’s festival, we welcome a distinguished guest: Hilary Tann, the Welsh- born composer who now teaches at Union College and whose music has been per- formed around the world.
