Recorded May 12, 2023. An in-person lecture by Prof Richard Dyer(King's College London as part of the Irish Screen Studies seminar organised by the Department of Film in the School of Creative Arts. This paper by Professor Richard Dyer starts from a consideration of the trope of ‘our song', the song, that is, that film characters feel in some way is associated with or even expresses their relationship – ‘As Time Goes By' in Casablanca (1942) is perhaps the most famous example. It then considers how often such songs turn out to be illusory, looking especially at three relatively recent European examples, and arguing that the problem of ‘our song' never really being ‘ours', always escaping us, is in little the contradiction at the heart of communication.

Hollywood fantasy cinema is responsible for some of the most lucrative franchises produced over the past two decades, yet it remains difficult to find popular or critical consensus on what the experience of watching fantasy cinema actually entails. What makes something a fantasy film, and what unique pleasures does the genre offer? In Encountering the Impossible: The Fantastic in Hollywood Fantasy Cinema (SUNY Press, 2021) Alexander Sergeant solves the riddle of the fantasy film by theorizing the underlying experience of imagination alluded to in scholarly discussions of the genre. Drawing principally on the psychoanalysis of Melanie Klein and D. W. Winnicott, Sergeant considers the way in which fantasy cinema rejects Hollywood's typically naturalistic mode of address to generate an alternative experience that Sergeant refers to as the fantastic, a way of approaching cinema that embraces the illusory nature of the medium as part of the pleasure of the experience. Analyzing such canonical Hollywood fantasy films as The Wizard of Oz, It's a Wonderful Life, Mary Poppins, Conan the Barbarian, and The Lord of the Rings movies, Sergeant theorizes how fantasy cinema provides a unique film experience throughout its ubiquitous presence in the history of Hollywood film production. Encountering the Impossible has been shortlisted for the 2022 Best First Monograph Award presented by the British Association of Film, Television and Screen Studies Alexander Sergeant is Lecturer in Film and Media Studies at the University of Portsmouth. He is the coeditor (with Christopher Holliday) of Fantasy/Animation: Connections Between Media, Mediums and Genres, which was Runner Up for Best Collection at the 2019 BAFTSS (British Association for Television & Screen Studies) awards.

Wouldn't it be wild if we remade a 2000s-era reality show but made it about comics characters? Wouldn't that be nuts? We definitely haven't done that before! The bit this week is all about giving supervillains a shot at redemption. Andrew learned an awful lot about Bane, Todd is all hopped up on sketchy science, and Kyle brings up police reform as well all groan about it. We're looking to create the best "Supervillain Road to Recovery Special," but we needed some help.

Why are Millenials so obsessed with stories about start-ups? In the debut episode of Screen Studies, Daejah and Justin delve into the deep world of shows based on true stories.
It's now become a classic of Australian cinema. But for years it faded into obscurity and was nearly lost forever. Wake in Fright is a psychological horror that paints a damning portrait of a particular kind of Australian culture. In this episode, we're looking at Ted Kotcheff's 1971 film adaptation of Wake in Fright - a novel by Kenneth Cook. We're exploring what this film reveals about contemporary environmental issues like climate change, species loss and the enduring impacts of colonialism. In this discussion: Associate Professor in Film and Screen Studies at Monash University (and one of our executive producers), Belinda Smaill. And PhD candidate in conservation psychology at the University of Melbourne, Chris McCormack. He's also co-founder of the nature charity, Remember the Wild.
“There's a real sense of collaboration in Manchester that's quite unique” Dr Kirsty Fairclough is a reader in Screen Studies and Chair of the Manchester Jazz Festival. She's also on the Music Board for the Greater Manchester Combined Authority - and as you'll hear in this interview, she oozes Manchester music culture. However, it's not just the maraca shaking scene of the nineties that Kirsty champions, as she says, there's so much more. You'll hear how Kirsty went from gaining two GCSEs in high school, to lecturing at The University of Salford, just one year after graduating herself, at the age of 21. You'll also hear how Kirsty connected Manchester and Minneapolis through her love of Prince. Lisa and Kirsty also discuss the exciting development of Manchester Metropolitan University's new SODA building and how the Manchester music scene is recovering after the pandemic, through creating new opportunities for young emerging artists. ------ Your host, Lisa Morton, started PR company Roland Dransfield in 1996, one month after the fateful IRA bomb that tore apart the city centre. From that point, the business, and its team members, have been involved in helping to support the creation of Modern Manchester – across regeneration, business, charity, leisure and hospitality, sport and culture. To celebrate the 25 years that Roland Dransfield has spent creating these bonds, Lisa is gathering together some of her Greater Mancunian ‘family' and will be exploring how they have created their own purposeful relationships with the best place in the world.

The female form has been a fraught site of filmic meaning – of desire and violence, of sex and death – from the very beginnings of cinema. But how deep do these meanings travel? How are our understandings of gender and sexuality not the stuff of screen representation but shaped by film technology and culture as well? Published in November 2020 by Fordham University Press, Genevieve Yue's Girl Head: Feminism and Film Materiality, “in rich archival and technical detail… examines three sites of technical film production: the film laboratory, editing practices, and the film archive. Within each site, she locates a common motif, the vanishing female body, which is transformed into material to be used in the making of a film. The book develops a theory of gender and film materiality through readings of narrative film, early cinema, experimental film, and moving image art.” In this discussion, Dr. Yue articulates her relationship to interdisciplinary research, traces her personal journey from dissertation to book, and argues for the centrality of material culture in feminist film studies. Genevieve Yue is an assistant professor in the Department of Culture and Media and director of the Screen Studies program at Eugene Lang College, the New School. Her essays and criticism have been published in October, Grey Room, The Times Literary Supplement, Reverse Shot, Artforum.com, Film Comment, and Film Quarterly. She is also an independent film programmer and serves on the Board of Trustees for the Flaherty Film Seminar. Annie Berke is the Film Editor at the Los Angeles Review of Books and author of Their Own Best Creations: Women Writers in Postwar Television (University of California Press, 2022).

The female form has been a fraught site of filmic meaning – of desire and violence, of sex and death – from the very beginnings of cinema. But how deep do these meanings travel? How are our understandings of gender and sexuality not the stuff of screen representation but shaped by film technology and culture as well? Published in November 2020 by Fordham University Press, Genevieve Yue's Girl Head: Feminism and Film Materiality, “in rich archival and technical detail… examines three sites of technical film production: the film laboratory, editing practices, and the film archive. Within each site, she locates a common motif, the vanishing female body, which is transformed into material to be used in the making of a film. The book develops a theory of gender and film materiality through readings of narrative film, early cinema, experimental film, and moving image art.” In this discussion, Dr. Yue articulates her relationship to interdisciplinary research, traces her personal journey from dissertation to book, and argues for the centrality of material culture in feminist film studies.

Talia Lugacy, director and co-writer of This Is Not A War Story, drops by the podcast to discuss the film's upcoming release. A collaborate work between Talia, her cast and crew, and a group of anti-war veterans, the film takes to task many of the conventional and stereotypical tropes that are associated with veteran portrayals in films and television. The film will be screened this upcoming weekend on Sunday, March 28 at 5:00pm, at the Cinequest Film Festival, followed by a Q&A with Talia, executive producer Rosario Dawson, actor Sam Adegoke, and veteran / About Face member Eli Wright. "THIS IS NOT A WAR STORY tracks a ragtag group of combat veterans in New York whose anti-war art, poetry and papermaking keep them together, despite the spectre of their friend’s suicide and the ever-crystalizing fact that healing from war is sometimes an impossible mission." Talia Lugacy co-wrote and directed the feature film "Descent" starring Rosario Dawson, which premiered in competition at the Tribeca Film Festival and was released theatrically by Warner Independent. Despite an NC-17 rating "Descent" was championed by The New York Times as "essential to see, a vividness never seen in an American film." Talia is a full-time Assistant Professor of Screen Studies at Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts, The New School, in NYC. She is also a member of the Actors Studio Playwrights & Directors Unit, and began studying filmmaking at NYU Tisch at the age of 15. She has directed numerous short films as well as directed environmental PSAs with Frack Action, Water Defense, Mark Ruffalo and Food & Water Watch. Let me guess.

We chat about complicated female characters, women expressing rage on screen, the cinematic joy of watching men bumping and grinding on a dancefloor in their suits and I also ask some hard-hitting questions like, is going to the movies a good first date idea? We also chat about our shared love of going to the movies alone, and why you should definitely take yourself on a date to the movies ASAP.Janice is a lecturer in Screen and Cultural Studies at Melbourne Uni; she has a PhD in Film and Screen Studies, and her research expertise centres on cinefeminism & women's filmmaking.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE Even though some conspiracy theories are only endorsed by a small fraction of the population, it is likely a mistake to write off all who believe in conspiracy theories, especially since some theories are endorsed more widely, and with substantial effect. I discuss these issues with two conspiracy theory researchers: Stephanie Kelley-Romano of the Bates College Department of Rhetoric, Film, and Screen Studies, and Joanne Miller of the University of Delaware Department of Political Science & International Relations.

Episode 53 journeys into the irregular and twisting world of Spanish fantasy cinema, with Chris and Alex joined in their discussion of Pan’s Labyrinth (Guillermo del Toro, 2006) by Deborah Shaw, Professor of Film and Screen Studies at the University of Portsmouth, and a specialist in Latin American cinema whose publications include The Three Amigos: The Transnational Filmmaking of Guillermo del Toro, Alejandro González Iñárritu, and Alfonso Cuarón (Manchester University Press, 2013), as well as the edited collections The Transnational Fantasies of Guillermo del Toro (Palgrave Macmillan, 2014), and Latin American Women Filmmakers: Production, Politics, Poetics (I. B. Tauris, 2017). Topics up for examination this episode include the potency and power of the film’s national-historical setting, and its knotted relationship with the perennial allegory of Fascism; the narrative role of magic and belief within the construction of villainy and antagonism; the ‘monstrosity’ of Guillermo del Toro’s VFX and the formal style of its monstrous aesthetics; the rhythmical dimension of how del Toro treats time, chronology and history; and the global circulation of Pan’s Labyrinth that is enabled by its palatable mainstream vocabulary of CGI and populist effects imagery.

How does music help us to understand the contemporary city? In It's a London Thing: How Rare Groove, Acid House and Jungle Remapped the City (Manchester UP, 2019), Caspar Melville, co-chair of the Centre for Creative Industries, Media and Screen Studies at SOAS, University of London, explores three music scenes to tell the story of modern London. In doing so it rethinks the story of crucial cultural moments, such as the birth of acid house, and brings new depth and detail to research on cities and music. The book draws on extensive empirical material, foregrounding analysis of space, race, and music to deliver both a comprehensive history as well as a significant contribution to urban studies. The book is essential reading for music and social science scholars, as well as for anyone interested in London and its culture. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For episode 39, Chris and Alex venture for the first time to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as they take on another highly popular fantasy film franchise by discussing Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Chris Columbus, 2001). They are joined by Dr Frances Pheasant-Kelly, who is a Reader in Screen Studies at the University of Wolverhampton, as well as the author of numerous publications on fantasy cinema including Fantasy Film Post-9/11 (London and New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2013) that traces fantasy’s cathartic potential as a vehicle to work through traumatic memories in a post-9/11 climate. Together they examine the historical framing of the Harry Potter series, and in particular 2001 as a crucial turning point for fantasy cinema; questions of interpretation, adaptation and identification in the Harry Potter universe; the framing role of intrusive magic and the lack of a stable equilibrium; the pleasure of unfixed and sentient space; the collision between ordinary artefacts and CGI; the status of Harry Potter as an abject text rooted in the Dark Arts; and how the fantasy film franchise - like the characters as a whole - often battles against its own magical components.

Dr Katharina Bonzel watches movies, TV and videos for work. That might sound like a good deal – until you consider that she sometimes has to watch a single film up to 15 times. It’s all for a good cause though. She toils to elucidate the meanings being conveyed, how they’re conveyed, and what they say about society. But she doesn’t just watch the deeply intellectual stuff. She sees value in analysing mainstream fare – and here, she makes the case for why we should too. ...

Australian movie producer, Bill Bennett, comes to InnerZension Radio to share his working knowledge of the Personal Guidance System (PGS). Bill experienced a transformative, near-death experience which shook him out of a very successful 30-year career and planted him on a global quest to better understand the science, mysticism, philosophy, and physiology of intuition. The rational mind takes us out of peaceful inner states as it tries to figure out the correct decision; however, intuition can be more accurate and use less of our valuable energy. Bill calls it: Your Personal Guidance System. Bill Bennett is an internationally-renowned, award-winning Australian filmmaker, writer, and producer. He has garnered numerous awards over his 30-year career, including Australian Film Critics Circle Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Writer as well as two Logies (Australia’s Emmy) for Television Reporter of the Year and Most Outstanding Documentary. His films have been distributed through most of the major Hollywood studios, including Warner Bros, Paramount, Universal, and the Samuel Goldwyn Co.

Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1928, Andy Warhol's early career began in advertising where he worked as a designer and illustrator. In the 1960s, he began exhibiting the iconic pop art work that we now associate with him, and he soon became one of the world's most famous artists.

Abstract Spatially and temporal marginal characters in a narrative may not be marginal in terms of meaning and affect. While a marginal character may be incidental, providing an interlude or local colour, he or she may also either, in their marginality deliberately and unintendedly indicate the social parameters of the world of the narrative, or may even constitute a concern that is both central and inadmissible to it. These dynamics of marginality will be discussed through the role of black and gay characters in La dolce vita (Italy 1960 Federico Fellini).

From the Marvel and DC cinematic universes to small screen caped-crusaders and vigilantes, superheroes are more popular than ever. But how do superheroes reflect our place and power within society? Whether it’s symbolic representations of asylum seekers and First Nations people on Cleverman, Jessica Jones battling PTSD or The Watchmen exploring the moral ambiguity of individuals with tremendous power, superheroes have the power (dare we say great responsibility?) to tell nuanced, reflective and universal stories. Join us to discuss how our heroic representations hold a mirror up to contemporary views on ethics, justice and equality.

Episode 102: Directing Youth with Kerry Hishon Youth Director Kerry Hishon talks about the process from auditions to rehearsal to performance and shares her hints, tips, and tricks. If you're auditioning for Oklahoma what type of song should you definitely NOT choose? How do you build ensemble? How do you plan a rehearsal schedule? Bonus: Listen in to find out how Kerry directed Peter Pan without the wires. Show Notes Kerry Hishon Original Kids Theatre Student Directing Series: Plays and Publishers Student Directing Series: Directing Your Peers Student Directing Series: Auditions Episode Transcript Welcome to TFP – The Theatrefolk Podcast – the place to be for Drama teachers, Drama students, theatre educators everywhere. I'm Lindsay Price, resident playwright for Theatrefolk. Hello, I hope you're well. Thanks for listening. This is Episode 102 and you can find any show notes for this episode at theatrefolk.com/episode102. So, it is a very unique skill to be able to direct youth well. And, as a drama teacher or educator or even if you're a student director, learning how to direct well is a continual process. So, let's keep learning. Today, I'm going to talk to youth director, Kerry Hishon, and bonus! Make sure you pay attention. In the middle of this, she's going to talk about how she directed Peter Pan without the wires. I love it. Lindsay: All right. Hello, everybody! Welcome to the podcast! I am very happy to be talking to Kerry Hishon. Hello, Kerry! Kerry: Hello! Lindsay: Hi! Okay. So, first off, where are you in the world? Kerry: I live in London, Ontario, Canada. Lindsay: Awesome. You guys are practically just down the road from us, you know, give or take a few hours. So, Kerry, you have a really interesting background. You do a little bit of everything. Kerry: Yeah, I do, actually. I'm kind of a jack of all trades. I'm primarily a youth theatre director, I'm also an actor, I do a little bit of playwriting, I am a stage combatant, and I also work at Original Kids Theatre Company. Lindsay: Awesome. All right. Well, we'll come around to talk about all of that, but let's talk first about how you got into this. What was the first thing that really drew you to theatre? Kerry: Oh, gosh. Well, I grew up in Stratford, Ontario, so it's kind part of the culture there. You learn iambic pentameter before you learn to multiply in school and being around the Stratford Festival, you get to see shows and you don't really realize that it's actually a luxury for so many other people and we'd go with our schools every single year and see multiple shows and you'd think it's no big deal, “Oh, yeah, I'm just going to go to the Stratford Festival today,” and you don't realize that other schools, like, save up and this is their big end-of-the-year trip, and for me, I was just used to it. Lindsay: Or that other people don't live in towns that have this amazing theatre resource, like, right around the corner. Kerry: Yeah, you don't even think about it. You just think, “Oh, yes, of course we have a world-renowned theatre here, doesn't everyone?” Lindsay: So, it's kind of like it's part of your life always. So then, how does that translate into trying to pursue it? Kerry: Yeah. I've always enjoyed it. I loved doing theatre during public school and high school and I then pursued it in university. I went to Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, and I majored in Stage and Screen Studies, and I just really enjoyed it. I loved every aspect of it and the wonderful thing about that program is that you get to do all sorts of different disciplines. I took acting classes and directing and playwriting and screenwriting and theatre and film history and even design which was terrifying for me because I am so not an artist. I have mad respect for all those designers out there because I could not do that – that's why I get people to do that for me.
I've come to the end of the series of podcasts about the Digital Manifesto that Mike Jones posted on his blog, Digital Basin. That was earlier this summer and I try my best to explain why it's taken me long to post 5 podcasts. Throughout the series I've been using his ideas in the Manifesto as a guage to determine how current the curriculum at my school, the CDIA is. It did very well - 9 out of 13. Here are the issues, numbered according to the Manifesto followed by the episode they were reviewed in. Passed 03 Compositing #35 04 Distribution w/o hierarchy #3705 Owning the entire filmmaking process #3706 Software agnosticisim #3708 Screen Studies integrated into Production #3909 Succeeding despite obstacles #3910 Promoting the story ahead of production values #3912 Collaborative Learning #4413 Teacher as Facilitator #44 Not Passed 01 Composing Space #3502 Virtual Camera #3507 Immersive Sound #3911 Personal Stories #44 These episodes were different from what I usually post, they involved big ideas and how they fit into the world of filmmaking. Keeping the idea threads connected from one episode to another, particularly when a lot of time passed between was difficult. Time to think and understand seems to be a constant problem for me. For all the effort, I enjoyed exploring ideas and that took me to unfamiliar territory Bear in mind, these aren't my ideas, I'm just having fun poking at them. I thought of a couple of things to add to the manifesto: Get Teachers and students to better interact between related/linked fields, such as audio, 3D and fx, even web design. I don't think the fringes of our filmmaking experience should be familiar territory.Get more exposure to the supportive technology used for digital distribution. Collaborative learning tools, such as blogs and wikis have a lot of potential that I hope to explore for sharing ideas and information and for promoting my work. Towards the end of the episode I talk a little about how all this technology is pushing against the boundaries of a stifling culture of intellectual protectionism. If I sound a little harsh, it's only because I've only recently come to recognize how limiting it is to withhold access to resources that, if they were more available, would result in a great deal more creativity to the benefit of everyone. I'm sure once I get used to it I'll return to lamblike complacency.
