Hi everyone!
I need your help. I am writing an article for a magazine. It will be
about Wachowski Bros' The Matrix. I just want to know why The Matrix is
just a cult movie and what makes it big in the eyes of the audience...
If you share your opinions with me, I will be appreciated...
Thanx...!

Hi Janeann,
Congratulations on winning the directing award for Paris is a Woman (an
intriguing title!) By no means frivolous, it's good news of which there
is
not enough these days! Wish I could be in NY on 4/3.
Best,
Richard

From Jeremy Robinson
I note that David Sterritt posted recently on this digest. If this is
the same
David Sterritt who wrote the 1999 book on Jean-Luc Godard, I just wanted
to
say how much I enjoyed that book. It's one of the best around on Godard,
and
is particularly illuminating on 'Hail Mary', an underrated but but
extraordinary movie.

Thank you all, for your help.
At the moment I am looking into Une Femme est une Femme and Les Bonnes
Femmes.
I got very interested in the performances especially in the first film.
Do you think that the performative qualities are related to ideas of
existentialism that were highly influential at the time?
I would appreciate any inlightment I can get.
Thank you all for your help,
Angela

School of Cultural Studies
=20
The School of Cultural Studies at UWE is a leading centre in its field.
Its BA degree in Cultural and Media Studies is one of the longest
established in Britain. The School=92s history is closely related to =
the
wider development and growing importance of Cultural Studies and Media
Studies over the last 30 years. During this time, the School has come
to occupy a distinctive position within the field of study; a position
which is represented in its teaching programmes, in which the founding
impulses and intellectual projects of Cultural Studies have been kept in
tension with a critical openness to a fast changing field. Within this
context, Film Studies is now a rapidly growing area of teaching and
research. On the basis of its combined teaching and research quality the
Times =91Good University Guide=92 places the School as one of the top =
five
in the UK. Currently, the School has 21 permanent lecturers and 15
Visiting Lecturers. Workshop and technical support is provided by a
team of 6 permanent Instructors, and a number of Visiting Instructors.
=20
The School=92s main teaching is on its BA and MA awards in Cultural and
Media Studies and its BA Half Award in Film Studies. A full award in
Film Studies is scheduled for introduction next year. The Cultural and
Media Studies BA degree now has an annual intake of around 100 single
Honours students and over 100 joint Honours students. An MA in Film and
Video starts in the next academic session =96 the School also runs an MA
in Cultural Studies and supports a growing number of PhD students. The
School has an administrator and is supported by a team of technicians
and instructors. It has a thriving research culture that supports a wide
range of theoretical work and critically informed production within its
research output. The Film Studies awards have a number of distinctive
features, arising from the location of film studies within the orbit of
Cultural Studies, in which the fundamentals of film theory are taught at
level one to students on both awards. Additionally the film studies
curriculum covers a wide range of world cinemas without privileging any
of them in particular.
=20
The School has excellent audiovisual and IT facilities, with specialist
technical and instructor support. This enables our students to
undertake critical production in video, photo-media, web design, and
multimedia production. A particular feature of the School=92s provision
is the teaching of various forms of media production within a critical
context. The integration of theory and practice within certain modules
and between others, is an important part of the School=92s work and is
enabled by year long, 30 credit modules and the co-ordination of
lectures, seminars and workshops. A number of the School=92s staff are
qualified and experienced as both academics and media, film or art
practitioners.
=20
The School has undergone considerable expansion in recent years,
widening its range of subject expertise and approaches. A review of the
curriculum was recently completed, which has enhanced the relation
between teaching and research and strengthened student progression.

Subject: Re: New Wave and Parisian women-performances
I would suggest that a sense of ennui permeates films by Godard and
auteurs of the French Nouvelle Vague, and "A Bout De Souffle" is a very
good example with disenfranchised characters wandering in the streets of
Paris.

Hi everyone,
I have been doing some research on Kubrick, particularly on Barry Lyndon
(1975), and I have the impression he is quite unpopular amongst film
critics and scholars.Firstly because I cannot find a lot of articles or
essays on his work, and secondly because they all seem to rely on the
same auteuristic approach which tries to uncover his particular
(philosophical?) vision of film art, and to analyse what some authors
describe as "cinematic concepts" present throughout his films.
Does anyone have any idea what a cinematic concept might be, and do you
think this notion is inevitably related to auteur theory, or does it
stand on its own in terms of being a bridge between film and
philosophical discourse in a more interdisciplinary perspective?
cheers

Subject: Re: FILM-PHILOSOPHY Digest - 14 Mar 2003 to 15 Mar 2003
(#2003-72 )
Hi,
someone was interested in gender in New Wave films. A couple of
references
came to mind. One was Genevieve Sellier's piece in Gender and French
Cinema
edited by Hughes and Williams (Berg, 2001) and another is The radical
faces
of Godard and Bertolucci by Yosefa Loshitzky (Wayne (?), 1995). I'm
fairly
sure the latter has something on gender. Genevieve Sellier and Ginette
Vincendeau wrote something on similar topic in Iris no. 26, which is
coincidentally the same number which contains pieces on cinephilia and
masculinity by Noel Burch and Genevieve Sellier (about which someone
else
was, I think, asking). I have written something on the Belmondo persona
and
gender which is due out in 2004 or thereabouts - I have a couple of
pages on
A bout de souffle and the masculine and can pass this on if its any use.
Ginette Vincendeau's book on Stars and stardom in French cinema must
also
have quite a bit that relates to gender and the New Wave.
Hope that is of belated use. +
