It provides a working understanding of the term as a cultural practice located at small-scale, alternative, DIY exhibition sites that provide noncommercial, nontheatrical options for moviegoing. Identifying the key attributes of microcinema, it demonstrates that alternative film practice requires certain economic, demographic and cultural attributes of a metropolitan locale be present in order to be sustained and that the presence of cultural intermediaries such as programmers are critical to coalescing these subcultural scenes. After presenting an overview of the historical antecedents to microcinema and of the microcinema movement that peaked in the 1990s in Canada and the US, this dissertation examines contemporary practices in four cities with vibrant film communities and gives thick descriptions of distinctive sites. It focuses primarily on the city of Montreal, Quebec and the manner in which socio-economic issues and cultural policy affect the stability of alternative, DIY venues and practices. It follows the trajectory of the creation and termination of Blue Sunshine Psychotronic Film Centre in Montreal and discusses the challenges of establishing this type of venue in the city. Using a Bourdieuian analytical framework, a primary argument of this project is that microcinemas are often cultivated as alternatives to the well-established—and culturally and economically hegemonic—commercial movie industry and sometimes oppositionally as a rejection of it, and that practitioners purposefully differentiate their exhibition practices from those of the mainstream (public and individual). Microcinema spaces are fertile ground for investigating multiple interests at the nexus of film and cultural studies: issues of taste and distinction as expressed through cinephilia and paracinephilia; the role of hipsters, subcultural entrepreneurs and cultural intermediaries; the creative economies and cultural policies of urban locales (conceptualized through the concept of bohemia). These issues are examined in terms of major themes that arise in the discourse surrounding microcinema, such as gentrification, alternative-ness and authenticity, that work to position the movement in contrast to perceived mainstream practices. Moreover, as sites of potential cultural hierarchy tensions between high and low forms of cinema, it argues that former concepts of fan cultures, such as paracinephiles, are not fluid enough to describe present day taste formations. Acknowledgements I would like to thank first and foremost Dr. Charles Acland for his incredible support as my dissertation supervisor. He provided me with both academic and financial support that allowed me to successfully complete the requirements of the program, as well as boosted my morale when it flagged over the course of my research and writing. I would also like to thank the Communication Studies Department and Concordia University for their generous financial support, without which I would not have been able to achieve my academic goals.

Culture scenes form structures of sociality that can encourage a productive and diversified cultural economy in the context of globalizing homogenizing forces.1 Janine Marchessault Hollywood dominates the huge space of “entertainment” within the public culture, and all other kinds of film and filmmaking must position themselves in relation to it.2 Sherry B. Ortner It was some time in the early 2000s that I experienced my first alternative film exhibition event. And by alternative, I am referencing a film event other than a mainstream commercial one. I was living in Austin, Texas at the time, and it was becoming somewhat common for cafes to show movies on DVD in a back room or on their outdoor patios, without copyright permission of course. Until this point, I had seen moving images exhibited in creative ways in commercial art contexts—galleries, museums, art festivals, and outdoor venues—as I worked in the contemporary art domain. But the event I headed to this one evening was going to change my understanding of what film exhibition could be. Travelling to pre-gentrified East Austin, with the address scribbled on a piece of paper, I didn’t know what to expect; it was very rare for there to be anything of cinematic interest going on in that part of town. In a remote and industrial area, I found the Blue Genie warehouse space. Bleacher-like seats accommodated about forty people. The film being screened that night was Beaver Trilogy (Trent Harris, 2000) about a male Olivia Newton-John impersonator. While the film made an impression on me, it was the pleasure derived from being part of something that few people knew about, the experience of having to find the place in an unfamiliar area on the edge of town and the 1 Janine Marchessault, “Film Scenes: Paris, New York, Toronto,” Public #22/23(2002): 69. 2 Sherry B. Ortner, Not Hollywood: Independent Film at the Twilight of the American Dream (Durham and London: Duke University Press, 2013), 8. 1 makeshift ambience of the unsanctioned space that stayed with me. Not surprisingly, the Blue Genie stopped hosting underground film events as it focused on more commercial art activity. And thus began my understanding that the charm of these microcinema spaces was their ephemerality. Though it was sad to see one go, I knew another similar venue would likely pop up, and I would be as excited to venture to it. It became clear over the years these scenes were rooted in a persistent transience, and the precariousness of their status was precisely what imbued them with the mystique that curious cinephiles like myself found alluring. In Window Shopping, Anne Friedberg considers cinemagoing as a consumer practice that originates beyond the four walls of the theater space, effectively expanding the focus of critical literature of the early 1990s, when it was first published, in a much- needed recalibration with the actual history of film exhibition. She connects film consumption to various historical cultural practices; perhaps her most insightful observation is the connection of modern day, postmodern, moviegoing to malling as a cultural activity, both of which are “commodity-experiences.” The cultural practice of moviegoing was once considered as special as attending other creative art forms, like a stage play or even the opera, but Freidberg and others observe that it became as quotidian as buying shoes.3 The mallification of movies should come as no surprise, however, as the motion picture industry in the United States has been motivated by profit since its inception. And these two cultural practices—malling and going to the movies—have 3 “If mallgoers loved to browse and make ‘impulse’ purchases for items from shoes to records, why shouldn’t they be able to do the same thing for movies?” Douglas Gomery, “Thinking about Motion Picture Exhibition,” Velvet Light Trap 25 (Spring 1990): 6.

  • From Sexploitation to Canuxploitation (Representations of Gender in the Canadian ‘Slasher’ Film)
    Maple Syrup Gore: From Sexploitation to Canuxploitation (Representations of Gender in the Canadian ‘Slasher’ Film) by Agnieszka Mlynarz A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Theatre Studies Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Agnieszka Mlynarz, April, 2017 ABSTRACT Maple Syrup Gore: From Sexploitation to Canuxploitation (Representations of Gender in the Canadian ‘Slasher’ Film) Agnieszka Mlynarz Advisor: University of Guelph, 2017 Professor Alan Filewod This thesis is an investigation of five Canadian genre films with female leads from the Tax Shelter era: The Pyx, Cannibal Girls, Black Christmas, Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS, and Death Weekend. It considers the complex space women occupy in the horror genre and explores if there are stylistic cultural differences in how gender is represented in Canadian horror. In examining variations in Canadian horror from other popular trends in horror cinema the thesis questions how normality is presented and wishes to differentiate Canuxploitation by defining who the threat is. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Paul Salmon and Dr. Alan Filewod. Alan, your understanding, support and above all trust in my offbeat work ethic and creative impulses has been invaluable to me over the years. Thank you. To my parents, who never once have discouraged any of my decisions surrounding my love of theatre and film, always helping me find my way back despite the tears and deep- seated fears. To the team at Black Fawn Distribution: Chad Archibald, CF Benner, Chris Giroux, and Gabriel Carrer who brought me back into the fold with open arms, hearts, and a cold beer.

  • JWO Vol. 17 Corrected.Indd
    28 Merlyn Q. Sell How Shakespeare Lost the American West Merlyn Q. Sell Independent Scholar hakespeare was among the first European settlers in the American West. He first hitched rides in the packs of fur S traders in the 1830’s and then stuck around, hanging out through the cattle drives of the 1890s. Considering Shakespeare’s large role in the Wild West of history, his absence from the Wild West of popular culture is glaring. While fictions of the Wild West are not beholden to the facts, the reasons a particular fictitious narrative has dominated the genre deserves interrogation—particularly when that narrative forms a cornerstone of national identity. A key reason for Shakespeare’s disappearance, or erasure, from the myth of the Wild West is his association with upper-class women and their civic reforms. As the “wildness” of the west became idealized, Shakespeare was remembered as a sign of refinement and his wilder and woollier past forgotten. In the mining camps of the West the same pattern emerged time and again. Shakespeare was an integrated part of these rough and rowdy communities from the start. His works were performed alongside variety acts, circuses, and boxing 1 matches for a mostly working class, mostly male audience. Journal of the Wooden O. Vol 16, 28-37 © Southern Utah University Press ISSN: 1539-5758 How Shakespeare Lost the American West 29 As railroads linked these once isolated communities to the trends of the East, Shakespeare’s place within the community transformed. Older versions of Shakespeare performance were not suitable for the changing demographics as cities once dominated by single males saw an influx of women and families.2 While women did not introduce Shakespeare to Western communities, they did employ him in different ways.

  • Why Call Them "Cult Movies"? American Independent Filmmaking and the Counterculture in the 1960S Mark Shiel, University of Leicester, UK
    Why Call them "Cult Movies"? American Independent Filmmaking and the Counterculture in the 1960s Mark Shiel, University of Leicester, UK Preface In response to the recent increased prominence of studies of "cult movies" in academic circles, this essay aims to question the critical usefulness of that term, indeed the very notion of "cult" as a way of talking about cultural practice in general. My intention is to inject a note of caution into that current discourse in Film Studies which valorizes and celebrates "cult movies" in particular, and "cult" in general, by arguing that "cult" is a negative symptom of, rather than a positive response to, the social, cultural, and cinematic conditions in which we live today. The essay consists of two parts: firstly, a general critique of recent "cult movies" criticism; and, secondly, a specific critique of the term "cult movies" as it is sometimes applied to 1960s American independent biker movies -- particularly films by Roger Corman such as The Wild Angels (1966) and The Trip (1967), by Richard Rush such as Hell's Angels on Wheels (1967), The Savage Seven, and Psych-Out (both 1968), and, most famously, Easy Rider (1969) directed by Dennis Hopper. Of course, no-one would want to suggest that it is not acceptable to be a "fan" of movies which have attracted the label "cult". But this essay begins from a position which assumes that the business of Film Studies should be to view films of all types as profoundly and positively "political", in the sense in which Fredric Jameson uses that adjective in his argument that all culture and every cultural object is most fruitfully and meaningfully understood as an articulation of the "political unconscious" of the social and historical context in which it originates, an understanding achieved through "the unmasking of cultural artifacts as socially symbolic acts" (Jameson, 1989: 20).

  • A Dark New World : Anatomy of Australian Horror Films
    A dark new world: Anatomy of Australian horror films Mark David Ryan Faculty of Creative Industries, Queensland University of Technology A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the degree Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), December 2008 The Films (from top left to right): Undead (2003); Cut (2000); Wolf Creek (2005); Rogue (2007); Storm Warning (2006); Black Water (2007); Demons Among Us (2006); Gabriel (2007); Feed (2005). ii KEY WORDS Australian horror films; horror films; horror genre; movie genres; globalisation of film production; internationalisation; Australian film industry; independent film; fan culture iii ABSTRACT After experimental beginnings in the 1970s, a commercial push in the 1980s, and an underground existence in the 1990s, from 2000 to 2007 contemporary Australian horror production has experienced a period of strong growth and relative commercial success unequalled throughout the past three decades of Australian film history. This study explores the rise of contemporary Australian horror production: emerging production and distribution models; the films produced; and the industrial, market and technological forces driving production. Australian horror production is a vibrant production sector comprising mainstream and underground spheres of production. Mainstream horror production is an independent, internationally oriented production sector on the margins of the Australian film industry producing titles such as Wolf Creek (2005) and Rogue (2007), while underground production is a fan-based, indie filmmaking subculture, producing credit-card films such as I know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer (2006) and The Killbillies (2002). Overlap between these spheres of production, results in ‘high-end indie’ films such as Undead (2003) and Gabriel (2007) emerging from the underground but crossing over into the mainstream.
