Re: Recommendations for Global Cinema (1900-1960) intro text!

From: "Ivan S. Eubanks, Ph. D." <ieubanks <at> bu.edu>

I'm not familiar with that textbook, but if it doesn't include Kalatozov's Cranes Are Flying (1957), then
you should consider showing it.

Re: Query: art in film (multiple responses)

From: Vivian Sobchack <sobchack <at> ucla.edu>

Look at Kubrick's A CLOCKWORK ORANGE where art abounds and also serves to commingle creative and
destructive forces. (Long ago when I was just starting out, I wrote a piece on art in the film for
Literature/Film Quarterly.)

From: "Ivan S. Eubanks, Ph. D." <ieubanks <at> bu.edu>

The Peter Greenaway suggestions are spot on.  If memory serves correctly, he studied at the Royal Academy
before moving to filmmaking.  The type of "mis-en-scene" as a cinematic rendition of "tableaux vivants"
is present in all of his work, not just A Zed and Two Naughts.  His Belly of an Architect would be another
example in which an artists (in this case an architect) is evoked explicitly.

Recommendations for Global Cinema (1900-1960) intro text!

From:Frances Loden [frakoloden <at> gmail.com]

Dear Cinema Teaching Colleagues--

For my History of Global Cinema 1900-1960 course in the fall at Diablo
Valley College, I need a better textbook than the one I am using now.

I'm using *Traditions in World Cinema* (Linda Badley, R. Barton Palmer &
Steven Jay Schneider, eds.). There's nothing wrong with it, but it's much
more about cinema post-1960. I wonder if there's a film history dealing
more with the *pre-1960 era of global cinema*.

Recommendations are welcome!

Thank you,
Frako Loden

Query: art in film

From: Michelle Repper [msrepper <at> email.wm.edu]

I need help finding films that use art as a mode of characterization. These
films can directly address the art or not (i.e. artworks are just hanging
on the wall in someone's bedroom). I'm looking specifically for modern art,
but any art will do.

Thanks so much!

With Respect,

Michelle Suzanne Repper

both comforting and constricting, homely and un-homely, visions of the past

CFP: 8th Association for Southeast Asian Cinemas Conference: “Codes, Kitsch, Camp: Genre in/and Southeast Asian Cinemas”

From: Jasmine Nadua Trice [jntrice <at> gmail.com]

CALL FOR PAPERS

8th Association for Southeast Asian Cinemas Conference:

“Codes, Kitsch, Camp: Genre in/and Southeast Asian Cinemas”

July 7 – 10, 2014, Thai Film Archive, Salaya, Thailand.

Issues of genre have had long-term and continuing importance for the film
studies field, but the concept has received little serious critical
attention in the specific context of Southeast Asian film.  The 8th
Association for Southeast Asian Cinemas conference will therefore be
interested in interrogating in the broadest terms the relevance and
usefulness of the concept for the analysis of Southeast Asian cinema.  We
seek proposals both for papers that address concepts of genre, in a
Southeast Asian context, from a theoretical perspective and for studies of
specific Southeast Asian genre trends with industrial and/or textual
emphases.  Some possible topics for papers along these lines include the
following (though the list is by no means intended as exhaustive):

-Relevance of “genre” for the Southeast Asian context (e.g., are
theorizations of genre based upon Hollywood examples still viable, or do
they need to be reworked or jettisoned altogether?)

-Redefining the concept of genre for a Southeast Asian context

-Transnational generic exchange or flow
