See you at The Neville Public Museum! Wednesday, September 21 • THE RETURN (Russia, 2003) Directed by Andrei Zvyagintsev Winner of the Golden Lion at the 2003 Venice Film Festival, “The Return” is a magnificent re-working of the prodigal son parable, this time with the father returning to his two sons after a 12 year absence. Though at first ecstatic to be reunited with the father they’ve only known from a photograph, the boys strain under the weight of their dad’s awkward and sometimes brutal efforts to make up for the missing years. In Russian with English subtitles. Presenter to be announced Wednesday, October 12 • BRIGHT FUTURE (Japan, 2003) Directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa Called by the New York Times a Japanese David Lynch, Kurosawa’s film is about two young friends who work at a hand-towel factory and raise deadly jellyfish. A casual visit by their boss unleashes a serious of events which change the two friends lives forever. One of the pleasures of this slow, suspenseful film is how casually Kurosawa tosses in ideas about contemporary life, the state of the family, the place of technology, all while steadily shredding your nerves. In Japanese with English subtitles. Presented by Ben Birkinbine, Green Bay Film Society Wednesday, October 19 • OSCAR-NOMINATED AND OSCAR-WINNING SHORT FILMS Once again we present a series of the best of live-action and animated short films from around the world.

Cinema, the “democractic emblem” (Alain Badiou), is one such space in which the demos configures itself, on screen and in the audience. It is a form of public poetry (Martha Nussbaum), dramatizing the conflicts and articulating the promises, but also the pathologies of modern democratic polities. But how does democracy relate to cinema in a moment of the supposed crisis of democracy? Cinema, the Global Digital Economy, With a focus on three case studies of relatively new players in the global cultural economy, all of which combine the emergence of a popular cinema with the consol- idation of liberal democracy – India, Nigeria and South Korea –, this conference and the Crisis of Democracy explores how cinema, and particularly popular cinema, configures the demos in modern democracies by articulating and dramatizing the conflicts and crises of democratic polities, while developing a significant appeal beyond the geographical International Conference and political boundaries of these polities thanks to digital distribution networks.

  • Pacific Film Archive
    Lee Amazonas • GUERRILLA CINEMATHEQUE COMES OF AGE: THE PACIFICE FILM ARCHIVE GUERRILLA CINEMATHEQUE COMES OF AGE THE PACIFIC FILM ARCHIVE Lee Amazonas This whole thing is put together with spit, chewing gum, good intentions, coop- eration from the film community and overhead paid by the Museum. I’m not over-budget or under-budget because I haven’t got a budget. —Pacific Film Archive founder Sheldon Renan in a February 1971 interview FOR AN INSTITUTION WITH SUCH A JERRY-BUILT INCEPTION, the Pacific Film Archive (PFA) has not done too badly for itself as it progresses through its fourth decade of exist- ence. The numbers tell a small part of the story: a permanent collection of over 10,000 films and videos (stored in temperature- and humidity-controlled vaults); a study center whose holdings include more than 7,600 books on film history, theory, criticism, and reference, 150 international film periodical titles, over 95,000 clipping files, 36,000 film stills, and 7,500 posters; and an exhibition program of approximately 500 film presentations each year serving an audience of over 50,000 viewers from the Berkeley campus and around the Bay Area. Beyond statistics, it is the magnificent array of programs the Pacific Film Archive of- fers that provides a broader understanding of this vital institution. Many audience members and professionals throughout the film archive com- munity would agree that the exhibition program at PFA is among the most richly varied and com- prehensive shown anywhere, presenting avant- garde and experimental film, classic Hollywood, international cinema (from Iran to Finland to China to Brazil), video art, silent film, ethno- graphic film, and more.

    Journalists turned Cinematographers: The Cahiers du Cinema and the French Nouvelle Vague An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) By Rebecca 1. Berfanger Ball State University Muncie, Indiana December 2000 Graduation: December 2000 ~eoll T'leSfS l-D ;:,147/1 Abstract ,z..tf - ~OO(., Journalists turned cinematographers: Cahiers du Cinema and the Nouvelle Vague is a "rA7 reflection of the so called French ''New Wave" cinema and how the Cahiers, one of the most influential film magazines of any language, has helped to shape modem cinema in some way. It reflects the age-old conflict between movie studios and independent filmmakers, where content and substance are judged against big name stars and pay checks. The four directors specifically mentioned in this paper are among the most influential as they were with the magazine early on and made movies in the late 1950s to the early 1970s, the height of the ''New Wave." Truff'aut has always captured themes of childhood and innocence, Godard has political themes (while claiming to be "unpolitical"), Resnais made documentaries films based on literature, and Rohmer demonstrated provincial life and morals. - Acknowledgements I had more than a few helpers with this project. I would like to thank Richard Meyer for being my first advisor and helping me focus on the subject with ideas for references and directors. I would also like to thank every French teacher I have had at Ball State who has furthered my appreciation of the French language and French culture, what this paper is more or less all about. I would especially like to thank James Hightower, my second and final advisor for all of his support and encouragement from beginning to end by loaning me his books and editing capabilities.
