As film education is still relatively new to the academy, it is helpful to talk with others facing the same challenges of teaching and of bringing together the many diverse disciplines that go into making media in all of its forms. Although we discuss storytelling at every UFVA conference, this year we chose to highlight the importance of story as the necessary antecedent for everything else that we do. Without a continual focus on the primacy of story in every discipline— from cinematography to marketing—we are less likely to reach our full potential as filmmakers and media storytellers. We are delighted to have Peter Debruge, features editor and senior film critic for Variety, to kick off our conference with an examination of the challenges of “Inventing Stories in the Reality Era.” Peter is an astute and articulate observer of the entertainment industry and I am confident his thinking will provide a platform to launch what I expect will be a thought-provoking conference on many levels. We also hope you have time to enjoy the many attractions that Southern California has to offer.

    Translating Music: Dubbing and Musical Strategies in Italian Cinema of the Early Sound Period Luca Battioni

    ARTICLES Translating Music: Dubbing and Musical Strategies in Italian Cinema of the Early Sound Period Luca Battioni Throughout the 1930s, the large majority of films distributed and eventu- ally screened in Italy were dubbed. Dubbing practices inevitably had an impact not only on the way sound was experienced in film but also the configuration of the emerging Italian film industry following the introduc- tion of synchronized sound on the one hand, and the consolidation of the Fascist regime on the other. In fact, drawing on the work of Andrew Hig- son, among others, I wish to argue that dubbing complicates the notion of national cinema in the Italian context of the 1930s. Higson was among the first scholars to theorize the concept of national cinema. In his work, he argues against production-centric conceptualizations, pointing out that a full understanding of national cinema begins from the assumption that it is a complex cultural aggregate, and that at its core lies the reception of films by popular audiences. Higson’s approach “lay[s] much greater stress on the point of consumption, and on the use of films (sounds, images, narratives, fantasies), than on the point of production.” This, in turn, encourages “an analysis of how actual audiences construct their cultural identity in relation to the various products of the national and international film and television industries, and the conditions under which this is achieved.”1 The pervasiveness of dubbing in the 1930s needs to be addressed in these terms, and a film’s dubbed soundtrack must be considered as a channel through which audiences construct their own identities—regardless of the geographical provenance of the film screened.

    108 Kansas History “Facing This Vast Hardness”: the Plains Landscape and the People Shaped by It in Recent Kansas/Plains Film

    Premiere of Dark Command, Lawrence, 1940. Courtesy of the Douglas County Historical Society, Watkins Museum of History, Lawrence, Kansas. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 38 (Summer 2015): 108–135 108 Kansas History “Facing This Vast Hardness”: The Plains Landscape and the People Shaped by It in Recent Kansas/Plains Film edited and introduced by Thomas Prasch ut the great fact was the land itself which seemed to overwhelm the little beginnings of human society that struggled in its sombre wastes. It was from facing this vast hardness that the boy’s mouth had become so “ bitter; because he felt that men were too weak to make any mark here, that the land wanted to be let alone, to preserve its own fierce strength, its peculiar, savage kind of beauty, its uninterrupted mournfulness” (Willa Cather, O Pioneers! [1913], p. 15): so the young boy Emil, looking out at twilight from the wagon that bears him backB to his homestead, sees the prairie landscape with which his family, like all the pioneers scattered in its vastness, must grapple. And in that contest between humanity and land, the land often triumphed, driving would-be settlers off, or into madness. Indeed, madness haunts the pages of Cather’s tale, from the quirks of “Crazy Ivar” to the insanity that leads Frank Shabata down the road to murder and prison. “Prairie madness”: the idea haunts the literature and memoirs of the early Great Plains settlers, returns with a vengeance during the Dust Bowl 1930s, and surfaces with striking regularity even in recent writing of and about the plains.

  • What Is a Lighting Director?

    What Is a Lighting Director?

    What is a lighting director by Martin Kempton What is a lighting director? Simply put - a lighting director designs the lighting for multi-camera television productions. He or she instructs the crew of electricians in their work in addition to guiding the team of operators who usually sit with the LD in the lighting control room. All this while working closely with the director and the rest of the production team to deliver the best possible pictures. However, there's rather more to it than that, and on this page on the website I explain where LDs work, what kinds of shows LDs work on and give some of the background to what we do. It's important to point out right away that simple 'illumination' is actually a relatively unimportant part of our work. Current TV cameras are capable of operating in very low light levels so it would be quite possible to see what was going on in most studios simply by switching on the houselights. Fortunately, producers and directors realise that the result would look pretty awful. Another thing is also worth making clear – a lighting director is not an electrician. He or she might have been once, but an LD is not another name for a crew chief or gaffer. Most television LDs do not have electrical qualifications, although some may have. In any case, this is not a requirement of the job. The electrical supervisor (gaffer) is in charge of realising the LD’s design in the studio from the rigging and electrical point of view.

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays

    Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays

    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.

The syllabi posted are general syllabi for students and alumni who wish to find out the topics generally covered in these courses. INSTRUCTOR: TBD Email: TBD OFFICE HOURS: TBD TA: TBD Email: TBD COURSE DESCRIPTION: FTV 122D offers an overview of “the invisible art”: Film and Digital Editing. An editor’s job is to decide, twenty-four times a second, where the audience needs to be. Do we stay in a shot or transition to another, and if so, what shot and how do we get there? Working side-by-side with the director to craft the movie that ultimately hits the screen – or your phone – editing is really about manipulating the audience, in the best possible way, all in the service of storytelling. In this class, we will study terminology and concepts, learning both the rules and how to break them, as we look at the aesthetic choices and technological workflow for both picture and sound editing. As part of the Summer Institute, FTV-122D includes “hands-on” editing projects and labs which provide students with a practical application of theory and the opportunity to experiment, collaborate and ultimately gain the skills to empower their personal artistic visions.

Austin Collins: Stakes Is High: On Spike Lee’s Chi-Raq J.D. Connor: Making Things Right: Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens Derek Nystrom: Of Christians and Communists: Joel and Ethan Coen’s Hail, Caesar! — INTRODUCTION — Hollywood’s Self-Critique: Five Essays on Race and Class at the Movies Chris Rock’s monologue at this year’s Academy Awards — in which he called Hollywood “sorority racist” and the event itself the “White People’s Choice Awards” — was deceptively consistent with the industry’s own self-critique featured in many of this year’s top-grossing and critically acclaimed films. Hollywood, it seems, has learned to parry generic attacks on the industry’s sexism, racism, and classism with genre films that keep the system well oiled and, perhaps, the critics at bay. The five essays featured in this collection concern films that seek absolution for the industry’s consistently unsavory politics by addressing Hollywood’s politically incorrect history in their stories or backstories. Indeed, these are mostly historical films that depict racial protest and class warfare from the perspective of an industry that continually finds itself on the wrong side of American history when it comes to issues of race and class. Jerome Christensen writes about Trumbo, a biopic about Hollywood’s most successful blacklisted screenwriter, and a film whose producers nonetheless obfuscate its own shady production history.
