Ein Wochenende, zwei Storylines: Während die eine Seite komplett im Chill-Modus unterwegs ist, lebt Tim in Berlin gefühlt seinen eigenen Film – Events, Leute, bisschen Eskalation und Geschichten, die man so auch nicht jedes Wochenende mitnimmt.Dazu gibt's einen kleinen Throwback: 1. Mai früher vs. heute. Bollerwagen, früh morgens das erste Bier und durch die Straßen ziehen – und jetzt? Irgendwo zwischen „wir sind erwachsen geworden“ und „ein bisschen davon steckt immer noch in uns. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Stel, de zombieapocalypse breekt uit. Waar kun je dan het beste verschansen? Een locatie waar je delen veilig kunt afzetten tegen het existentiële gevaar van wandelende doden, waar voedsel voorradig is en waar je de tijd kunt doden... Filmmaker George A. Romero wist het: een groot overdekt winkelcentrum. "Het origineel is overschat, en de remake is ontzettend leuk." Die tweede mening hoor je nog wel vaker, over Zack Snyders Dawn of the Dead (2004), maar een takedown van Dawn of the Dead (1978)? Dan moet je toch echt wel van goeden huize komen. En waarschtig, dat doet onze podgast in aflevering 101 gelukkig ook! We hebben namelijk een one-o'-one met festivaldirecteur Jan Doense, van Film By The Sea (9-18 september in Vlissingen). De grote Jan Doense, Mr. Horror! Filmcriticus, -maker en -programmeur, maar misschien wel vooral kenner. Met zo'n wandelende horrorencyclopedie bevat deze aflevering gegarandeerd goede tussentijdse kijktips, stevige meningen en lekkere anekdotes. We hebben het ook over hoe Jan er persoonlijk voor zorgde dat de beste versie van Dawn of the Dead op dvd werd uitgebracht, waar de zombiemythe oorspronkelijk vandaan komt en de keren dat Jan aan tafel zat met regisseur Romero en acteur Ken Foree.

Hugo Frey‘s new book, Nationalism and the Cinema in France: Political Mythologies and Film Events, 1945-1995 (Berghahn Books, 2014) distinguishes between a national cinema (films made in France) and a nationalist cinema motivated by the specific agenda to promote une certaine idee de la France. Working with ideas about “political mythology” and the “film event,” Frey analyses a series of films and filmmakers, including: Michel Audiard, Jean-Luc Godard, Claude Lelouch, Jean-Pierre Melville, Marcel Pagnol, Jean Renoir, Jacques Tati, and Francois Truffaut. Contributing to a vast and complex field of work on the cinema in France since 1945, Nationalism and the Cinema in France offers readers an analysis of French “metafilms” (films about film and filmmaking) in the postwar period; the representation of French history and modernity; the conversation between French cinema and Hollywood (and France and the United States more generally); the complex relationship between French film, nationalism, and empire; antisemitism; and the politics of the extreme Right up to the mid-1990s. In our conversation, Hugo and I consider the legacies of the fifty year period covered in the book, including the links between the issues discussed in its pages and more contemporary struggles over national identity and difference.
