Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the launch of a special issue of the
Cine-Excess e-journal, which is dedicated to "'Mark of the Devil':
International Perspectives on a Cult Classic".
The issue contains a range of exciting essays about the infamous German
exploitation film "Mark of the Devil" (Michael Armstrong, 1970) that
engage with horror cinema and sound, Georges Bataille’s philosophy of
transgression, issues of filmic space, the representation of sexualised
pain from a theological point of view, marketing, censorship and the
performance of authorship.
In addition to conference and festival reviews, this special edition
features an extensive interview with Joyce and Percy Hoven, the widow
and son of Austrian actor and filmmaker Adrian Hoven, who was a driving
force behind the production of Mark of the Devil.
"'Mark of the Devil': International Perspectives on a Cult Classic" can
be found at: http://www.cine-excess.co.uk, which also contains the
current call for papers to be discussed at November’s Cine-Excess
conference.
Best regards,
Andreas Ehrenreich (PhD candidate, Sheffield Hallam University)
Julian Petley (Professor of Screen Media, Brunel University London)
