I analyze different visual and narrative strategies developed by the directors of youth cinema during the Brezhnev period as mechanisms for circumventing ideological control over cultural production.

  • Operetta After the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen a Dissertation
    Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Elaine Tennant Spring 2013 © 2013 Ulrike Petersen All Rights Reserved Abstract Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair This thesis discusses the political, social, and cultural impact of operetta in Vienna after the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. As an alternative to the prevailing literature, which has approached this form of musical theater mostly through broad surveys and detailed studies of a handful of well‐known masterpieces, my dissertation presents a montage of loosely connected, previously unconsidered case studies. Each chapter examines one or two highly significant, but radically unfamiliar, moments in the history of operetta during Austria’s five successive political eras in the first half of the twentieth century. Exploring operetta’s importance for the image of Vienna, these vignettes aim to supply new glimpses not only of a seemingly obsolete art form but also of the urban and cultural life of which it was a part. My stories evolve around the following works: Der Millionenonkel (1913), Austria’s first feature‐length motion picture, a collage of the most successful stage roles of a celebrated

  • The Museum of Modern Art Celebrates Vienna's Rich
    THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART CELEBRATES VIENNA’S RICH CINEMATIC HISTORY WITH MAJOR COLLABORATIVE EXHIBITION Vienna Unveiled: A City in Cinema Is Held in Conjunction with Carnegie Hall’s Citywide Festival Vienna: City of Dreams, and Features Guest Appearances by VALIE EXPORT and Jem Cohen Vienna Unveiled: A City in Cinema February 27–April 20, 2014 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters NEW YORK, January 29, 2014—In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Austrian Film Museum, Vienna, The Museum of Modern Art presents a major collaborative exhibition exploring Vienna as a city both real and mythic throughout the history of cinema. With additional contributions from the Filmarchiv Austria, the exhibition focuses on Austrian and German Jewish émigrés—including Max Ophuls, Erich von Stroheim, and Billy Wilder—as they look back on the city they left behind, as well as an international array of contemporary filmmakers and artists, such as Jem Cohen, VALIE EXPORT, Michael Haneke, Kurt Kren, Stanley Kubrick, Richard Linklater, Nicholas Roeg, and Ulrich Seidl, whose visions of Vienna reveal the powerful hold the city continues to exert over our collective unconscious. Vienna Unveiled: A City in Cinema is organized by Alexander Horwath, Director, Austrian Film Museum, Vienna, and Joshua Siegel, Associate Curator, Department of Film, MoMA, with special thanks to the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere. The exhibition is also held in conjunction with Vienna: City of Dreams, a citywide festival organized by Carnegie Hall. Spanning the late 19th to the early 21st centuries, from historical and romanticized images of the Austro-Hungarian empire to noir-tinged Cold War narratives, and from a breeding ground of anti- Semitism and European Fascism to a present-day center of artistic experimentation and socioeconomic stability, the exhibition features some 70 films.

  • Writing with Music: Self-Reflexivity in the Screenplays of Walter Reisch
    arts Article Writing with Music: Self-Reflexivity in the Screenplays of Walter Reisch Claus Tieber 1,* and Christina Wintersteller 2 1 Institut für Theater- Film- und Medienwissenschaft, University of Vienna, Althanstraße 14, 1090 Wien, Austria 2 Filmarchiv Austria, Obere Augartenstraße 1e, 1020 Wien, Austria; c.wintersteller@filmarchiv.at * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 10 October 2019; Accepted: 26 January 2020; Published: 28 January 2020 Abstract: Self-reflexivity is a significant characteristic of Austro-German cinema during the early sound film period, particular in films that revolve around musical topics. Many examples of self-reflexive cinematic instances are connected to music in one way or another. The various ways in which music is integrated in films can produce instances of intertextuality, inter- and transmediality, and self-referentiality. However, instead of relying solely on the analysis of the films in order to interrogate the conception of such scenes, this article examines several screenplays. They include musical instructions and motivations for diegetic musical performances. However, not only music itself, but also music as a subject matter can be found in these screenplays, as part of the dialogue or instructions for the mis-en-scène. The work of Austrian screenwriter and director Walter Reisch (1903–1983) will serve as a case study to discuss various forms of self-reflexivity in the context of genre studies, screenwriting studies and the early sound film. Different forms and categories of self-referential uses of music in Reisch’s work will be examined and contextualized within early sound cinema in Austria and Germany in the 1930s.

  • Music by František Škvor for the Karol Plicka's Film the Earth Sings
    Musicologica Brunensia 52 / 2017 / 1 DOI: 10.5817/MB2017–1-8 Music by František Škvor for the Karol Plicka’s Film The Earth Sings – the Beginning of Slovak National Music? Some Remarks on the Origin and Importance of Škvor’s Music for Plicka’s Film Zem spieva Branko Ladič / [email protected] Department of Musicology, Comenius University, Bratislava, SK Abstract Karol Plicka (1894–1987), musicologist, etnographer, photographer, violinist and teacher de- voted the main part of his professional life to Slovakia. During the interwar period he became the most significant slovak foklorist. The invention of sound film inspired him to make a film as an artefact with Slovak ethnographic subject matter, and the result was the first Slovak full- length film The Earth Sings (1930–1933). The aim of the film makers was to present images from the Slovak countryside from spring to autumn. Situations presenting the life of the common people, which dominate the film, of- fer the opportunity to present folklore: ceremonies, dances, children’s games, and of course music. Plicka regarded music as exceptionally important in the film.
