MISSION BEACH FILM CLUB Presents: Midnight Cowboy on Saturday 28 November 2015 from 6 PM Midnight Cowboy 1969 USA – 113 minutes – Drama – M 15+ Stars: Dustin Hoffman, Jon Voight, Sylvia Miles Director: John Schlesinger IMDb Rating: 8.0 Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnFoaj8utio Language: English Awards: www.imdb.com/title/tt0064665/awards?ref_=tt_awd Joe Buck (John Voight), is a tall and handsome young Texan who hits New York to hustle money out of rich women. He is befriended by a sickly, limping, lowlife con-man, 'Ratso' Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman), who offers to manage Joe’s career, for their joint benefit. A unique bond develops between the unlikely duo, but the two prove no match for the urban jungle of Manhattan. But nothing else is predictable about Midnight Cowboy, even now, more than 40 years after it's explosive, Oscar winning debut as the haunting odd couple buddy movie film noir of the decade. Waldo Salt's salty script is superbly realised by Schlesinger and both Hoffman and Voight deliver career high performances as lost animals of prey in an urban zoo. Location: C4 Theatrette – North Mission Beach (next to Tourist Office) Start: 6.00 PM By Membership only: $40 for 1 year, $15 for 3 months – please sign up on the night or download the membership form from our website: missionbeach.filmclub.org.au FILMS & SHOWS COMING SOON TO YOU: Next Films: There will be no screening in December and we will back Mid-January 2016 for another year of fantastic movies.

Journal of Black Mountain College Studies, Volume 11 (Fall 2020) Beautiful Situations? James Leo Herlihy’s Adventures at Black Mountain College and After1 Robert Ward According to Anni Albers, the arts at Black Mountain College, where she taught weaving and textile design between the time of its opening in 1933 and 1949, were based on the growth of the individual artist. “To see oneself leave the safe ground of accepted conventions, to find oneself alone and self-dependent. It is an adventure that can permeate one’s whole being.”2 In the summer of 1947, James Leo Herlihy, then twenty years of age, travelled to the campus on Lake Eden to experience that adventure. He stayed for twelve months, returning for the last time during the summer of 1953.3 The experience showed him how to live as a writer.

You Know I Ain't Queer … Queering Mediation And
You Know I Ain’t Queer … Queering Mediation and Sexuality in Midnight Cowboy and Brokeback Mountain Isabell B. Johansen Master’s thesis, Media Studies Spring 2009 Department of Media and Communication, University of Oslo 2 “It’s been more than 35 years when people would watch Midnight Cowboy and say ‘What the hell was that all about?’ Well, now we have fully accepted this new genre of cinema: gay westerns!” - Jon Stewart, The 78th Annual Academy Awards (Horvitz, 2006:3). 3 4 ABSTRACT ENGLISH Gay western – why does that sound like a paradox? This is a question that colours this thesis. It is easy enough: Homosexual men are feminine on film and the western is the ultimate masculine cinematic expression. These are established conventions and they colour our expectations. I have studied how Midnight Cowboy (1969) and Brokeback Mountain (2005) mediate the sexuality of the protagonists, and how these representations relate to traditions of Hollywood film. This study of mediation of queer sexualities in American mainstream film is situated within a queer theoretical framework, providing a critical/inquisitive perspective to norms of mediation. Gender and sexuality are mediated through characters, but they are also expressed through other cinematic aspects like setting, soundtrack or genre. In both of the movies western genre elements enhances and underlines the masculinity of the protagonists. Since masculine men in movies are expected to be heterosexual, the sex and the intimate relationships between men become a surprise—both within the diegesis (film universe) and in a film historical context. Sex between men rarely takes place at all in American mainstream movies.

Gay Movies (1895-1969)
Aula 8 GAY MOVIES (1895-1969) META To introduce students to a selected list of classic gay movies, trying to discuss about their conditions production, circulation and reception. OBJETIVO To provide some historical information about the way the issue has been dealt with by the film makers; To present some of the classic gay movies and their historical importance; To illustrate how gay issues are represented in classic movies. PRERREQUISITO Notions about the formation and development of gender studies; Notions of the main concepts employed in gender studies. Familiarity with the relationship between literary theory and gender studies. Luiz Eduardo Oliveira José Augusto Batista dos Santos Literatura de Língua Inglesa V INTRODUCTION After a brief research on the web about the theme, we found a series of interesting lists of queer films, what must be understood as movies which deal with important gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender characters or aspects, or which may have same-sex romance or relationships as a plot device or as a central issue. What surprised us most was that there are movies which deal with this issue since 1895. Now let us take a look at the history of cinema to see how this issue have been dealt with by the film directors, as well as how it has been received and interpreted by the critics, historians, and, most important of all, the audiences and the public in general. We begin with The Dickson Experimental Sound Film, a film made by Wil- liam Dickson (1860-1935) in 1895. It is held as the first known film with live-recorded sound, being the first motion picture made for the Kineto- phone, a proto-sound-film system developed by Dickson and Thomas Edison (1847-1931).

The American Catholic Church Censors the Movies Traces the rise of the movie industry from its raffish nickelodeon roots in the late nineteenth century to enormous popularity in the first half of the twentieth century. Self-censorship by the movie industry to satisfy its moralist critics having failed, Hollywood found it in its interests to use Catholics to censor those motion pictures the Church judged dangerous to souls. That effort was a double-barreled one: Faced with having to comply with expensive and diverse demands from city and state censorship boards to delete scenes, in 1930 the movie industry accepted an elaborate prescriptive film code, written by a Jesuit monsignor, describing what could and could not be shown and said. For the first four years enforcement was lacking, but by 1934, the Production Code Administration (PCA), led by an energetic Catholic layman and his staff, was empowered to scrutinize a film’s theme, script, language, costuming, etc., at every step of the process.
