FILM SERIES The Representation Project

Using film as a catalyst for cultural transformation, The Representation Project inspires individuals and communities to challenge and overcome limiting stereotypes so that everyone, regardless of gender, race, class, age, sexual orientation, or circumstance, can fulfill their human potential. Sponsored by The Wyncote Foundation, The Middleton Center, Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church and Main Line Reform Temple, both films will be followed by panel discussions with the audience about the issues and challenges raised.

Thursday, January 14, 7:00 pm THE MASK YOU LIVE IN

2015 – USA – 1 hr 37 min – d. Jennifer Siebel Newsom

After investigating mainstream media’s misrepresentations of women with 2011’s Miss Representation, documentary filmmaker Jennifer Siebel Newsom turns her astute lens on boys and young men as they struggle to stay true to themselves while negotiating America’s narrow definition of masculinity. The Mask You Live In is a complex look at the maze of identity issues that boys and young men in this society must navigate to become “real” men.

John Muse, who teaches media production at Haverford and Bryn Mawr Colleges, will be joined by film theorist Irina Leimbacher of Keene State College to introduce the film and lead a post-screening discussion.

Wednesday, March 16, 7:00 pm EL VELADOR (THE NIGHT WATCHMAN)

Thursday, January 21, 7:00 pm MISS REPRESENTATION

2011 – Mexico – 1 hr 22 min – d. Natalia Almada

2011 – USA – 1 hr 25 min – d. Jennifer Siebel Newsom

Amid a drug war that has claimed over 50,000 lives, El Velador follows a night watchman in his rounds at an extravagant "narco-cemetery," where some of Mexico's most notorious drug lords are buried. This haunting and contemplative documentary garnered filmmaker Natalia Almada a MacArthur “Genius” award in 2012.

Through stories from teenage girls and provocative interviews with politicians, journalists, entertainers, activists, and academics, and supported by startling facts and statistics, this revealing documentary exposes how mainstream media and culture contribute to the underrepresentation of women in positions of power and influence in America.

Behind the Music

Get some insight into the people behind your favorite music with these new documentaries about the famed FAME Studio (birthplace of songs like “Brown Sugar” and “When a Man Loves a Woman”), the legacy of the Carter/Cash clan, and the life of Elliot Smith.

Wednesday, February 24, 7:00 pm MUSCLE SHOALS 2013 – USA – 1 hr 51 min – d. Greg “Freddy” Camalier

Muscle Shoals, Alabama, located alongside the Tennessee River, might be an unlikely breeding ground for some of America’s most creative and defiant music, but under the direction of FAME Studios founder Rick Hall, this little town produced a big sound. Mick Jagger, Etta James, Alicia Keys, Bono, and other FAME alums discuss the magic and mystery of the dynamic studio, and why it remains influential today.

Wednesday, March 2, 7:00 pm THE WINDING STREAM: THE CARTERS, THE CASHES, AND THE COURSE OF COUNTRY MUSIC 2014 – USA – 1 hr 30 min – d. Beth Harrington

Vicky Funari, documentary filmmaker and artist-in-residence at Haverford College, will moderate a Q&A with director Natalia Almada after the screening.

The Apu Trilogy

Shown in conjunction with the film course Master Humanist: The Cinematic World of Satyajit Ray, (p. 16) each screening will be introduced by the course’s instructor, Maurizio Giammarco, Ph.D.

Tuesday, March 15, 7:15 pm PATHER PANCHALI (SONG OF THE LITTLE ROAD) 1955 – India – 1 hr 59 min – d. Satyajit Ray

A depiction of rural Bengali life in a style inspired by Italian neorealism, Satyajit Ray’s debut film signaled an eloquent and important new voice in cinema and introduced the character of little Apu, whose story would be told over the course of three massively successful and awardwinning films.

Tuesday, March 22, 7:15 pm APARAJITO (THE UNVANQUISHED) 1956 – India – 1 hr 50 min – d. Satyajit Ray

Part history, part performance, part family saga, this film tells the story of an American roots music dynasty, the Carters and Cashes, and, through interviews with a panoply of notable Americana artists, reveals the lasting musical and cultural influence of the melodic family. Local musicians will perform songs from the Carter/Cash catalog prior to the screening.

Although unplanned at the outset, Satyajit Ray decided to continue Apu’s narrative after Pather Panchali’s international success. This tenderly expressive, often heart-wrenching sequel picks up where the first film leaves off and follows Apu as he progresses from a wide-eyed child into an intellectually curious teenager.

Wednesday, March 9, 7:00 pm HEAVEN ADORES YOU

Tuesday, March 29, 7:15 pm APUR SANSAR (THE WORLD OF APU)

2014 – USA – 1 hr 44 min – d. Nickolas Dylan Rossi

By exploring the cities he inhabited during his tragically short life, this meditative documentary about musician Elliott Smith presents a visual journey of a complex artist’s existence. Musician Andrew Marsh will perform prior to the screening. After the film, director Nickolas Dylan Rossi will appear in person to answer questions from the audience.

1959 – India – 1 hr 45 min – d. Satyajit Ray

The extraordinary conclusion of this monumental trilogy brings the protagonist’s journey full circle as, now in his early twenties, out of college, and with writerly ambitions, Apu navigates his romantic awakening into an eventually fraught fatherhood. Ray’s skills as a crafter of pure cinematic imagery are on full display on this final chapter of Apu’s epic story.

Wednesday, December 16, 7:00 pm and 7:15 pm EVERYBODY SING!: THE SOUND OF MUSIC

STAGE ON SCREEN THEATER

JANE EYRE

1965 – USA – 2 hr 54 min – d. Robert Wise

A co-production with Bristol Old Vic devised by the Company based on the novel by Charlotte Brontë Directed by Sally Cookson – Performed at the National Theatre in London – Starring Madeleine Worrall 3 hr 30 min

As a plucky young nun, Julie Andrews sings her way into the hearts of the von Trapp family in this screen version of the beloved Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. Wear a wimple, lederhosen, or even dress as a drop of golden sun at this fun-filled event, a holiday tradition for fans of the film and its many memorable songs. Patrons who wear a costume will receive a free small popcorn!

Almost 170 years after its publication, Charlotte Brontë’s story of the trailblazing Jane is as inspiring as ever. This bold and dynamic production uncovers one woman’s fight for freedom and fulfilment on her own terms. From her beginnings as a destitute orphan, Jane Eyre’s spirited heroine faces life’s obstacles head-on, surviving poverty, injustice and the discovery of bitter betrayal before taking the ultimate decision to follow her heart.

A smash hit since the beginning, BMFI’s interactive screenings of The Sound of Music continue to sell out year after year, making it the most popular program in the Institute’s history. BMFI concludes its year-long anniversary celebration with a few of our favorite things: The Sound of Music on two screens!

Wednesday, February 17, 7:00 pm DOCTOR ZHIVAGO 1965 – USA/Italy/UK - 3 hr 17 min – d. David Lean

Amid the snowy clime of early twentieth-century Russia, Omar Sharif and Julie Christie heat up the screen in this epic romance based on the immensely popular novel by Boris Pasternak.

Fatal Vision: The Cinema of Roman Polanski, Pt. 2

Quentin Tarantino: Surrealist of the Church of Home Video

Taught by Maurizio Giammarco, Ph.D., Intellectual Heritage Program, Temple University

Taught by Paul Wright, Ph.D., Department of English, Cabrini College

The life of Roman Polanski has been marked by horrific events that have shaped a powerful, unsettling cinematic world view in which this filmmaker attempts to depict the various ways in which violence erupts from human nature, and in so doing, confront the specter of evil in the world: the death of his mother in a Nazi concentration camp in 1943; the murder of his actress-wife Sharon Tate and friends by the Manson Family in 1969; and Polanski's own arrest for the rape of a thirteen-year-old girl in 1977. In a career that has taken him to France, England, Italy, and the United States in search of opportunities to write, direct, and act, Polanski has consistently focused on revealing the individual impulses, unconscious urges, and personal psychoses of humanity that inform his films. His eclectic body of work ranges from celebrated achievements in European art cinema (Knife in the Water, Repulsion) to parodies (The Fearless Vampire Killers, Pirates); from blockbuster Hollywood thrillers (Rosemary's Baby, Chinatown) to literary period pieces (Tess, Oliver Twist); from historical prestige pictures (The Pianist, the upcoming D, based on the Dreyfus Affair) to film adaptations of plays (Carnage, Venus in Fur). Throughout his work, Polanski adopts an ironic, even absurdist attitude—in the manner of Samuel Beckett, to whom Polanski's early films have been compared—toward the ultimate, inevitable problem: an abiding violence and evil that grows even as characters individually struggle against those forces. Over the years, his films have grown richer, more complicated, and even more discomfiting in their examination of this theme, for Polanski's work can be viewed as an attempt to chart the precise relationship between the contemporary world's instability and tendency toward violence and the individual's increasing inability to overcome his isolation and to locate some realm of meaning beyond himself.

As this excerpt from Quentin Tarantino’s Palme d’Or winner Pulp Fiction reminds us, the themes of violent excess and subjective reality have never been far from the writer/ director’s restless and inventive mind—one seemingly hard-wired for cross-pollinating cinematic genres, themes, and techniques. While Tarantino himself might not consciously recognize his films as such, they nonetheless reflect a surrealist sensibility at play in the sandbox of postmodern cinema. Chinatown (1974)

Hollywood melodramas, also known as "women's films" or "weepies," enjoyed considerable popularity during the industry’s golden age due in no small part to the presence of luminous stars, such as Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Crawford, and Lana Turner, and the skilled direction of legendary filmmakers like King Vidor, Michael Curtiz, and Douglas Sirk. Of course, it didn't hurt that in such films these leading ladies were both prone to the mundane frustrations of middle-class domesticity and subjected to fantastic struggles with dangerous men, psychiatric maladies, and deadly female competition. These films were highly stylized as well, as directors augmented the characters' plights with chilling suspense, textured cinematography, and rich Technicolor. But these pictures are more than soapy, big-screen entertainment. As the World War II years gave way to the post-war era, changes in American society—and women's roles in it—were roiling the culture. The melodrama of this time is a female counter, of sorts, to film noir, and it can be just as cynical and dark. Join us to shed some light on this genre through a discussion of films like Stella Dallas (1937), Mildred Pierce (1945), and Imitation of Life (1959).

Film History Discussion Series: 1945–Present

Join us for the second part of our course on the work of this brilliant, controversial director. It will trace Polanski's career from the 1970s to the present, covering such films as Chinatown, The Tenant, Tess, Bitter Moon, Death and the Maiden, Carnage, and Venus in Fur.

Feb. 29: DON’T LOOK BACK (D.A. Pennebaker, USA, 1967) Mar. 7: MON ONCLE ANTOINE (Claude Jutra, Canada, 1971) Mar. 14: MISSING (Costa-Gavras, USA, 1982) Mar. 21: SWEETIE (Jane Campion, Australia, 1989) Mar. 28: SAFE (Todd Haynes, USA, 1995) April 4: CODE UNKNOWN (Michael Haneke, France, 2000)

This course imbibes the cinematic cocktail made from mixing his unorthodox formation as a filmmaker in the church of home video with his visceral, yet surreal, take on thieves, hit-men, vixens, and Nazi-hunters. Join us on a detailed journey through key films, including Reservoir Dogs (1992), Pulp Fiction (1994), Inglourious Basterds (2009), and, hopefully (depending on the film’s availability), his latest effort, The Hateful Eight (2015). In the process, we will explore over two decades of Tarantino’s journey from enfant terrible to auteur fantastique.

Pulp Fiction (1994)

Magnificent Obsession: The Melodrama

From his own isolated perspective—that of, essentially, a man without a country— Polanski seeks to confront the problems of violence and evil through his work, and show how his characters try continually, though awkwardly, to connect with other human beings to break out of their isolation and to free themselves of their alienation. As a result, according to one critic, Polanski's films “exhibit an originality of vision, both stylistically and thematically, whether they are dark and morbid and psychotically disposed, or merely frivolous and disposable; his films are plainly the work of a singular intelligence, a unique psychology, a rare aesthetic.”

Jan. 25: ODD MAN OUT (Carol Reed, UK, 1947) Feb. 1: UNFAITHFULLY YOURS (Preston Sturges, USA, 1948) Feb. 8: THE EARRINGS OF MADAME DE . . . (Max Ophuls, France, 1953) Feb. 15: LETTER NEVER SENT (Mikhail Kalatozov, USSR, 1959) Feb. 22: THE SHOP ON MAIN STREET (Ján Kadár and Elmar Klos, Czechoslovakia, 1965)

At least one definition of surrealism suggests that the movement, above all, features “the element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions, and non sequitur;” so, too, does the Tarantino film experience. The director also embodies and champions, as the now legendary account of his cinematic education as a video store clerk attests, the aesthetic of the first truly post-film-school wave of directors in the American tradition. In an interview with the BBC, he famously offered: “When people ask me if I went to film school I tell them, ‘No, I went to films.’”

Mildred Pierce (1945)

The Building Blocks of the Screenplay Taught by Martin Leicht, M.A., Author and Screenwriter

Code Unknown (2000)

Class meets at BMFI: 11 Mondays, January 25 to April 4, noon to 3:00 pm Fee: $200 for BMFI members, $225 for non-members (no “a la carte” enrollment)

Regardless of what many directors would like to believe, films do not spontaneously spring to life the moment the cameras start rolling. The first concrete step for making any film—good, bad, or ugly—is to write a screenplay, which is the blueprint that the director, production team, and actors will use to create the world, characters, and story we all enjoy on the big screen several months later. In this course, we will discuss how screenplays work on a micro level, and learn the essential building blocks necessary to create a sound and engaging film narrative. Outside of class, students will view films like The Big Lebowski, closely examine the story “beats” that advance the narrative, and answer such questions as: “Who is the protagonist?” “What is his/her goal (i.e. what does he/she want)?” “Who or what stands in the way of the protagonist achieving this goal?” Using the answers to these questions and the lessons gleaned from the films, each student will produce original, focused scene work, starting small and building toward the final project: a screenplay for a short (ten-minute) film. Student writing will be read aloud and discussed in class to maximize the benefits of the workshop format.

The Big Lebowski (1998)

Class meets at BMFI: 6 Mondays, February 22, 29, March 7, 14, 21, 28, 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm Fee: $150 for members, $175 for non-members

Master Humanist: The Cinematic World of Satyajit Ray

To register, visit BrynMawrFilm.org or call 610.527.4008 x108

2016 SUMMER FILMMAKING WORKSHOP

Taught by Maurizio Giammarco, Ph.D., Intellectual Heritage Program, Temple University

Presented by Bryn Mawr Film Institute

Over the course of his distinguished career, Satyajit Ray came to be regarded as one of the great humanist filmmakers, along with Yasujirô Ozu, Jean Renoir, and Vittorio De Sica. Ray's films reveal the complexities of life in post-colonial India, a country bound by traditions yet striving to become modern. Although social context is always evident in his films, the struggles of the individual depicted in them carry even greater emotional power.

Write, produce, direct, and edit a film under the guidance of professional mediamakers. Collaborate to create a polished script and short film through the experiential process of pre-production, production, and post-production. Get hands-on experience with professional equipment, use current techniques, and learn life and job skills through the inspiring and collaborative process of creating media art. Once made, we'll premiere your film on the big screen at Bryn Mawr Film Institute.

This sensibility is immediately apparent in Ray’s debut, Pather Panchali (1955), part of his Apu trilogy, which we will see in its entirety. The film established a new artistic cinema for India through its examination of a poor Bengali scholar, his wife, and his two children, one of whom is named Apu. Aparajito (1956) follows Apu to the city and allows Ray to examine the impact of death, as well as the clash between spiritual duty and secular enticement. In Apur Sansar (1959), Apu journeys to Calcutta in search of a new, independent life while being confronted by the joys of love and the hardship of loss. Imbued with keen observations, the resulting film serves as a fitting conclusion to this remarkable trilogy. Ray's style in these films was neorealist in its simplicity and directness, and he made brilliant use of classical Indian music with a soundtrack composed and performed by Ravi Shankar.

Aparajito (1956)

Class meets at BMFI: 4 Tuesdays, March 15, 22, 29, April 5, 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm Class screenings will take place in the theater whenever possible.

Open to high school students entering grades 9–12. Space is limited; application required. Here’s what students who’ve participated in the Summer Filmmaking Workshop are saying: "It really was the highlight of my summer. It allowed us all to work with the different aspects of filmmaking." — Lily M. "This was a great basis for experience in the industry – hands on work that was actually our own film! I loved this program – it was awesome!" — Gracie M. "I got even more from it than I ever thought. It's taught me that film is my calling, and gave me the true experience of film." — Pat B.

The course ends with Devi, a carefully nuanced study in religious obsession that focuses on Biswas, a man convinced that his young daughter-in-law is in fact the goddess Kali reincarnated. Baroque and melodramatic, the film mounts a lucid and moving argument against the destructive nature of fanaticism and superstition.

"This program has helped me gain the skills I will need for the future. I really liked being able to have hands-on experiences; there was a lot for us to do, but we also had help from people who really know what they are doing." — Kat W.

Please join us for what is sure to be an illuminating cinematic journey, for as another great director, Akira Kurosawa, once said of this filmmaker: “Not to have seen the cinema of Ray means existing in a world without seeing the sun or the moon.”

Meets at BMFI: Mondays–Thursdays, June 27–August 4, 10:00 am to 3:00 pm Fee: $1700 if application received by April 17 (early application deadline); $2000 if application received by May 15 (final application deadline).

Myth-busters and Iconoclasts: Japanese Cinema in Transition

2016 SUMMER FILMMAKING WORKSHOP INFORMATION SESSIONS

Taught by Paul Wright, Ph.D., Department of English, Cabrini College

For many Americans, their exposure to Japanese cinema begins and ends with Akira Kurosawa, and while his work is an eminently sensible place to start, there is so much more to see, learn from, and enjoy by venturing further into this nation’s film culture. In this course, we endeavor to enrich our understanding of Japan’s complex and important cinematic tradition with a close look at four essential directors. First, with Kenji Mizoguchi’s Sisters of the Gion (1936), we explore a film made on the eve of the Second World War, and one surprisingly critical of contemporary Japanese society and its mistreatment of women. We then turn to Yasujirô Ozu’s Floating Weeds (1959), a post-war meditation on the joys and agonies of family—both those bound by blood, as well as those we improvise amongst folks with a shared vocation. Next, we move into the tumultuous 1960s with Masaki Kobayashi’s Harakiri (1962), the greatest and most compelling indictment of the samurai ethos in all of Japanese cinema. Finally, we shift as Japan does into new aesthetic and historical territory with Kinji Fukasaku’s Battles Without Honor and Humanity (1973), a bracing and controversial template for every Yakuza film that follows. With these directors, our course will celebrate four master filmmakers and trace Japan’s journey from pre-war paranoia to post-war malaise.

Surviving Cancer In Style

At 22,

a cancer diagnosis was the last thing I expected to come my way. The anxiety surrounding losing my hair was put to rest when I saw what a natural look and feel the wigs at Jude Plum have. The staff helped me feel extremely reassured and comfortable during this difficult period. I would recommend Jude Plum to anyone in need of an understanding, experienced, and compassionate salon!
