  • This Text Is Now Merely on Armenia, Armenia Lingering on My Mind
    This text is now merely on Armenia, Armenia lingering on my mind, Armenia I had always wanted to know, the country I have visited but briefly once and would love to know more in depth... Before I move on to other subjects, here is some more about Sergei Parajanov, a titan whose work is becoming more and more known, despite his once relative obscurity and his untimely demise at 66; Parajanov who I talked about in my previous text but not enough as there can never be enough reminiscing of someone whose life and creativity mean the “refusal of time and empire”, someone grudgingly taken by the Grim Reaper as He, the Reaper, knows only too well that great Sergei remains ever victorious until the End of Time. Mona Lisa collages by Parajanov Stills from the film The Colour of Pomegranate with lithe, unearthly Georgian actress Sofiko (Sophia) Chiaureli notably in six male and female roles. The ethereal Sophiko passed away in 2008, age 70, in Tbilisi. Take note of the playfulness and celebratory traits of a man who roughed it so hard in life, when he comes up with this collage: “I sold my dacia!” (summer house or weekender). Only someone of limitless inner freedom could create and artwork like this in face of persistent adversities. This looks so much more like Felini rather than oppressed artist in the Soviet regime... “I sold my dacia!”, collage by Parajanov collage by Parajanov To finish this segment on Parajanov, let us read what J. Hoberman wrote in May 2018 about this dazzling film poem that Sayat Nova is: “Understanding is not synonymous with enjoying.

  • Perkins, Anthony (1932-1992) by Tina Gianoulis
    Perkins, Anthony (1932-1992) by Tina Gianoulis Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2007 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com The life and career of actor Anthony Perkins seems almost like a movie script from the times in which he lived. One of the dark, vulnerable anti-heroes who gained popularity during Hollywood's "post-golden" era, Perkins began his career as a teen heartthrob and ended it unable to escape the role of villain. In his personal life, he often seemed as tortured as the troubled characters he played on film, hiding--and perhaps despising--his true nature while desperately seeking happiness and "normality." Perkins was born on April 4, 1932 in New York City, the only child of actor Osgood Perkins and Janet Esseltyn Rane. His father died when he was only five, and Perkins was reared by his strong-willed and possibly abusive mother. He followed his father into the theater, joining Actors Equity at the age of fifteen and working backstage until he got his first acting roles in summer stock productions of popular plays like Junior Miss and My Sister Eileen. He continued to hone his acting skills while attending Rollins College in Florida, performing in such classics as Harvey and The Importance of Being Earnest. Perkins was an unhappy young man, and the theater provided escape from his loneliness and depression. "There was nothing about me I wanted to be," he told Mark Goodman in a People Weekly interview. "But I felt happy being somebody else." During his late teens, Perkins went to Hollywood and landed his first film role in the 1953 George Cukor production, The Actress, in which he appeared with Spencer Tracy.

  • CZECH CINEMA: NEW WAVE and BEYOND Coordinators: Robert
    CZECH CINEMA: NEW WAVE AND BEYOND Coordinators: Robert Gerace and Eva Vogel We survey films from the Czech cinema after WW II, beginning with the German and Soviet Occupations, continuing with the Czech New Wave and the Prague Spring of the 1960’s, and ending with more contemporary films of the modern era. Our materials on Czech and Slovak history and culture provide a framework and context for critical evaluation. We ask which policies and attitudes of the prevailing Soviet and German authorities are satirized in these films? How do the directors attempt to bypass strict censorship of this veiled government criticism? We come to understand the importance of the Czech film industry and how it reflected the historic struggles and aspirations of the citizens of Bohemia and Slovakia. Readings and other Required Materials: Subscription to Netflix is required. Class handouts and Web references will be provided. They include film reviews, director biographies and articles on Czech and Slovak history and culture. Robert has coordinated study groups on Greenwich Village Writers, Italian Neo Realism, and French New Wave Cinema. Eva is an enthusiast of Czech and Slovak films that reflect her family’s experience of the WWII German occupation and her own life during the Soviet occupations after 1968. * * * * * * * * Syllabus * * * * * * * * After viewing the films at home we consider assigned questions about theme, character development, cinematography and director’s style. We evaluate our answers as we view and discuss film clips of the highlights shown in class. Students are encouraged to submit their own questions for class discussion. Assigned background readings include: "Prague Spring: Russian tanks in the streets and a New Wave in the cinema," Peter Hames, The Manchester Guardian, 1999.

  • The Domestic Is Not Free, Nov 2—10, Spotlighting the Ways Women Have Created, Challenged, and Subverted Domesticity
    BAM presents Women at Work: The Domestic Is Not Free, Nov 2—10, spotlighting the ways women have created, challenged, and subverted domesticity October 9, 2018/Brooklyn, NY—From Friday, November 2 through Saturday, November 10 BAM presents Women at Work: The Domestic Is Not Free, a wide-ranging series spotlighting the overlooked work women take on in the home as house-workers, caretakers, and familial partners. The Domestic Is Not Free is the third edition of the ongoing Women at Work series—following Women at Work: Labor Activism in March and Women at Work: Radical Creativity in August—and highlights the historically erased and undervalued physical and emotional labor women perform, often invisibly, every day. The series considers the myriad ways in which women around the world have challenged and subverted traditional associations between gender and domesticity. Exploring the intersections of labor, race, class, and social environment, these films embody human stories of sacrifice and endurance. BAM Cinema Department Coordinator and programmer of the series Natalie Erazo explains, “I learned early on to value the domestic space and appreciate the women around me who shaped it. I hope this series will encourage viewers to acknowledge the monotony and emotional bearing of a life often relegated to being behind the scenes.” The series opens with Ousmane Sembène’s seminal Black Girl (1966—Nov 2). Screening with short films Fannie’s Film (Woods, 1979) and Fucked Like a Star (Saintonge, 2018), these films depict black women in roles of domestic service while also giving audiences access to their inner thoughts, feelings, and struggles.
