  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

    Exemplar for internal assessment resource English for Achievement Standard AS91479 Hypothesis: Othello was the puppet of Iago’s cruel plot but he was equally responsible for Desdemona’s murder as Iago was. Desdemona was the innocent victim. Othello and Desdemona: Innocent Victims or Dictators of their Own Demise? Characters from Shakespeare’s Othello have been analysed and scrutinised by critics for years since it was first written in 1603. In this particular report I aim to prove, through the study of various critical essays on Othello, whether or not Othello is just the puppet of Iago’s cruel plot or whether or not he is equally if not more responsible for Desdemona’s murder as Iago is. I also aim to explore whether or not Desdemona truly is the innocent victim. After my first reading of Shakespeare’s Othello, I had come to the conclusion that Iago was the main cause of Desdemona’s death and Othello’s suicide. I believed like a lot of 19th-century critics that “Othello was a noble figure and Iago was the ultimate in evil.” (Newton:1991). There is no doubt that Iago’s intentions and actions were undeniably evil, his main goal being “to destroy Othello” which he successfully managed to do. He was “determined to reveal that Othello’s noble qualities are a sham, by reducing him to being a man eaten up with passion”. Iago cleverly convinced Othello that his lieutenant Cassio had become too familiar with his wife Desdemona. To begin with, Othello struggled to believe and defended Iago’s allegations against his wife.

Brooklyn, NY/May 22, 2014—From Sunday, June 29 through Thursday, July 10, BAMcinématek and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences present By Any Means Necessary: A Spike Lee Joints Retrospective, a 12-day series spanning three decades and commemorating the 15th anniversary of BAMcinématek, which launched in 1999 with a survey of Lee’s career. The writer-director-actor’s consistently surprising work displays a boundless visual imagination, some of the most fearlessly intelligent discourse on race relations in American cinema, and an ability to infuse independent projects and big-budget blockbusters alike with his edgy, energetic style. From June 27—July 27, the Academy will also present a west coast retrospective of Lee’s work at the Academy’s Linwood Dunn Theater and the Bing Theater on the Los Angeles County Museum of Art campus. Kicking off the New York retrospective and closing BAMcinemaFest on June 29 is a 25th anniversary celebration of Lee’s Oscar®-nominated Do the Right Thing. The streets of Bed-Stuy boil in Lee’s tale of tensions run high on Brooklyn’s hottest day of the year.
