    Probablemente El Diablo: El Terror Elíptico De La Séptima Víctima

    PROBABLEMENTE EL DIABLO: EL TERROR ELÍPTICO DE LA SÉPTIMA VÍCTIMA Francisco García Gómez Universidad de Málaga RESUMEN La séptima víctima, la primera película dirigida por Mark Robson, constituye un magnífico ejemplo de la concepción del terror que tenía el productor Val Lewton. Su cuarto filme para la RKO, el primero no dirigido por Jacques Tourneur, pone de manifiesto que Lewton era el auténtico responsable de su ciclo fantástico. PALABRAS CLAVE: RKO, Val Lewton, Mark Robson, serie B, terror, satanismo, paladismo. ABSTRACT «Probably the Devil: The Elliptical Terror in The Seventh Victim». The Seventh Victim, first film directed by Mark Robson, is a magnificent example of the producer Val Lewton’s terror concept. His fourth RKO film, the first without Jacques Tourneur, reveals that Lewton was the genuine responsible of his fantastic cycle. KEY WORDS : RKO, Val Lewton, Mark Robson, B Film, terror, satanism, paladism. 163 Una película a redescubrir y reivindicar, ése es el caso de La séptima víctima (The Seventh Victim, 1943), la cuarta del ciclo de nueve cintas de terror de serie B producidas por Val Lewton en la RKO entre 1942 y 19461. Dirigida por Mark Robson en su debut como realizador, fue además la primera cuya dirección no corrió a cargo de Jacques Tourneur, tras La mujer pantera (Cat People, 1942), Yo anduve con un zombi (I Walked with a Zombie, 1943) y El hombre leopardo (The Leopard Man, 1943). Precisamente a consecuencia de los grandes éxitos de público obtenidos con estas tres, el estudio decidió separar al tándem Lewton-Tourneur, convencido de que rendirían el doble por separado, poniendo en seguida al francés al frente de mayores presupuestos.

    Annual Report 2015 It Is My Pleasure to Welcome You to the American Liver Foundation’S 2015 Annual Report

    VOICES OF LIVER DISEASE I have a VOICE We are stronger LET’S SPREAD TOGETHER THE WORD American Liver Foundation | Annual Report 2015 It is my pleasure to welcome you to the American Liver Foundation’s 2015 annual report. This small volume documents a year of progress in challenging liver disease’s position as one of the top 12 leading causes of death for Americans ages 25 to 64. This past year, we raised our voices every day. In 2015, the American Liver Foundation launched our federal Advocacy Day in Washington, DC, a new annual initiative that will give us a greater voice on Capitol Hill. On behalf of 30 million Americans living with liver disease, our staff joined by members of our National Patient Advisory Committee (NPAC) made the case for increased allocations for liver research and a more pro-active public health response for testing and treatment for liver disease. Our media-trained and well-informed NPAC members are at the heart of the Foundation’s awareness raising activities. By courageously and generously sharing their stories, these men and women put a human face on liver disease, and give voice to the needs and concerns of liver patients everywhere. Until very recently, the liver was rarely featured in the news outside of celebrity illnesses related to liver failure or hepatitis C. This is changing and for the better, and ALF’s persistence and presence has played an important role in this transition. In 2015, rarely did a week go by without a mention of liver wellness or liver disease in the mainstream media as our aggressive communications strategy leveraged media opportunities like Veterans Day, Liver Awareness Month and local events to drive coverage.

    The curse of the Cat People: Presencia de “lo siniestro” Pág. 1 The Curse of the Cat People: Presencia de “lo siniestro” (Breves apuntes) 1 por Francisco Javier GÓMEZ TARÍN Estos films ganaron su notoriedad al cortocircuitar dos aspiraciones: la económica de un producto de género (en cuyo caso la renovación se transforma en garante de la identidad); y la crítica de una reflexión “desde el interior”, y no solamente pragmática, sobre los modos narrativos en el cine americano (Eisenschitz, 1980: 48) Esta cita de Eisenschitz nos hace reivindicar la doble función cumplida por los films producidos por Val Lewton para la RKO. De un lado significaron un impulso para la industria cinematográfica y una evolución en el seno de los géneros, renovando desde la perspectiva de su aparente clasicismo el cine fantástico, aportando la sutileza y el universo de la no-mostración; pero, de otra parte, desvelaron que los bajos costes no eran en modo alguno incompatibles con la calidad, lo que es más, la libertad creativa de que gozaron justifica en gran medida los temas que fueron abordados y las innovaciones introducidas a través de ellos en torno a cuestiones tan radicalmente cinematográficas como el uso del raccord de miradas o la inquietante presencia del fuera de campo. Resulta difícil acomodar estos films, pese a que se etiqueten a sí mismos como de género, dentro del cine clásico, si estimamos que la clausura es uno de sus elementos paradigmáticos en el seno del mecanismo definido por Noël Burch como Modo de Representación Institucional (MRI). La clausura posibilita el cierre de la historia sin dejar cabos sueltos, pero The Curse of the Cat People, y en general todos los de la serie Val Lewton, ofrecen un cierre en falso que puede entenderse como un relanzamiento de la historia en otra dirección interpretativa; a ello hay que añadir las múltiples líneas de indeterminación que se van sembrando en los personajes y situaciones a lo largo del film y que posteriormente tampoco son cerradas.

    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of East Anglia digital repository Realism, Fantasy, and the ‘H’ Certificate: Rethinking Horror Cinema in Britain during the 1940s by Paul William Frith Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of Film, Television and Media September 2014 ©This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract Existing research on British cinema during the 1940s has often assumed an opposition between realism and fantasy or, as it is also known, 'realism and tinsel'. However, through an analysis of contemporary critical reception and censorship discourses, it becomes apparent how this division was nowhere near as clearly defined as is often argued. Discussions surrounding a supposed ‘ban’ on horror during 1942- 45, and the subsequent debates regarding realism in the post-war climate, demonstrate how realism was often associated with fantasy and vice versa. While the ‘quality’ realist film of the 1940s demonstrates a concern with verisimilitude and the reproduction of the surface appearances of reality, when confronting the obscene or the taboo hidden below this surface realism was deemed to be far more closely associated with ‘horrific’ fantasy. This thesis therefore looks beyond common perceptions of British cinema during this period through an analysis of contemporary discussions surrounding the relationship between ‘realism and tinsel’, with a particular emphasis upon the misapprehension that the horror ‘ban’ signified a falling interest in fantasy in favour of the ‘quality’ of realism.

SAUL AND DOROTHY KIT FILM NOIR FESTIVAL FESTIVAL INTRODUCTION “As a master of dread, he has conceivably no pulp equal.” – Jonathan Rosenbaum Short story maestro, former Columbia student, muse of suspense filmmakers: Cornell Woolrich (1903–1968) lived all of these lives. A prolific man of letters (who also published under the pseudonyms William Irish and George Hopley), Woolrich has had his novels and stories adapted into nearly 40 films and dozens of episodes of radio and television. Yet despite his strong influence on the postwar crime film, he has remained overshadowed by his literary contemporaries: Chandler, Hammett, and Cain. But unlike those contemporaries, Woolrich was no hard-boiled detective author. His focus was less on the complex networks of criminality mapped in Chandler’s or Hammett’s fiction than on their nightmarish effects on characters who find themselves unwittingly caught up in them. Far from hard-boiled, his protagonists are haunted by paranoia and fear. To biographer Francis M.

Seventh-day Adventist Dissertations and Theses in Religion A Bibliography Compiled by Jón Hjörleifur Stefánsson James White Library Andrews University Berrien Springs, MI 2012 Introduction The Seventh-day Adventist Church sponsors over 100 tertiary institutions around the world. Most of these engage in the training of Pastors at one level or another. Many offer graduate level degrees, and require a thesis or dissertation. This work is the first attempt to create a bibliography of theses and dissertations from all of these tertiary educational institutions. While a student at Andrews University, Jón Hjörleifur Stefánsson had the vision of developing this database, and I was pleased to provide the necessary support for this to happen. The data for the bibliography was gathered directly from the many institutions, and their cooperation has been greatly appreciated.
