Revisiting Star Studies (12-14 June 2013, Newcastle University)

November 9, 2013/in Autumn 2013_'Waste', Conference Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

Conferences primarily dedicated to stars and stardom do not come around on a regular basis. Newcastle University organised an event on the ever-expanding field of star studies, in cooperation with the Center for Film and Digital Media at the University of Sunderland. Despite its low-key character, the conference attracted some 70 delegates from 12 countries […]

Contemporary Women’s Cinema: Global Scenarios & Transnational Contexts (28-29 May 2013, Roma Tre University, Italy)

November 9, 2013/in Autumn 2013_'Waste', Conference Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

A conference that has ‘women’s cinema’ in its title faces a considerable challenge just in defining the term. As Teresa De Lauretis argued over two decades ago, it is ‘a term whose definition … is almost as problematic and contested as the term “feminism” itself’.[1] The organisers of the conference Contemporary Women’s Cinema: Global Scenarios […]

Federico Fellini and the experience of the grotesque and carnivalesque: Dis-covering the magic of mass culture

November 9, 2013/in Autumn 2013_'Waste', Exhibition Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival: Between the national and the global

November 9, 2013/in Autumn 2013_'Waste', Festival Reviews, Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

The first edition of the Antalya Golden Orange International Film Festival[1] was launched fifty years ago in 1964, at a time when the international success of the director Metin Erksan[2] ignited national support for the creation of a Turkish film festival. Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival has primarily been a national film festival, despite occasional […]

The business of audience festivals: Calgary International Film Festival 2012

November 9, 2013/2 Comments/in Autumn 2013_'Waste', Festival Reviews, Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

In differentiating between two ‘ideal’ models of ‘business festivals’ and ‘audience festivals’, Mark Peranson offers a useful heuristic for thinking about the film festival ecosystem.[1] He describes how the hierarchies of power and relationships among festival actors vary significantly across the two models, a schema that proves very helpful when considering the film festival circuit […]

Moving data

November 9, 2013/in Autumn 2013_'Waste', Book Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

Mobile communication via mobile and wireless devices not only dominates social communication in terms of everyday media but has already replaced the paradigm of the computer as the medium of convergence for information and communication technologies. The development of smart phones has far-ranging impacts on the consumption of previously disconnected individual media and has laid […]

Re-writing the history of the avant-garde

November 9, 2013/in Autumn 2013_'Waste', Book Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

The task of writing the history of the avant-garde cannot be considered an easy one. The term ‘avant-garde’ itself is in many ways problematic. Because of its intrinsic antagonism in regard to tradition, the concept of the avant-garde can appear as an attempt to break with the entire heritage of art history, or at least […]

Colour Films in Britain

November 9, 2013/in Autumn 2013_'Waste', Book Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

At first glance, the image chosen for the cover of Sarah Street’s new book Colour Films in Britain: The Negotiation of Innovation 1900-55 (London: Palgrave/BFI Publishing, 2012) seems to be a somewhat unusual pick for a book about colour in cinema. It displays a discreetly-lit interior scene, an empty room without any people – more […]

The aesthetics of dispersed attention: An interview with German media theorist Petra Löffler

November 8, 2013/in Autumn 2013_'Waste', Interviews /by Greg DeCuir

by Geert Lovink When I met Petra Löffler in the summer of 2012 in Weimar I was amazed to find out about her habilitation topic. She had just finished a study on the history of distraction from a German media theory perspective. After I read the manuscript (in German) we decided to do an email […]

November 8, 2013/2 Comments/in Autumn 2013_'Waste', Interviews /by Greg DeCuir

by Christian Olesen Since the late 1980s, EYE Film Institute Netherlands (formerly the Nederlands Filmmuseum) has been collecting and preserving unidentified film fragments from its collection to create an ongoing series of compilations titled Bits & Pieces. The compilations consist of fragments which the majority of film archives would tend to disregard in favour of […]

Media zoology and waste management: Animal energies and medianatures

November 8, 2013/in Autumn 2013_'Waste' /by Greg DeCuir

by Jussi Parikka In this article I will investigate the relations of media and ecology, arguing that the incorporation of nature and ecology as part of the media theoretical discourse should also be connected to the ecological contexts in which theory is being produced. This means a concretisation of media ecology in terms of its […]

‘The Sown and the Waste’ – or, the psychedelic writing of film history

November 8, 2013/1 Comment/in Autumn 2013_'Waste' /by Greg DeCuir

by Casper Tybjerg The word ‘psychedelic’ was coined in the 1950s by psychiatrist Humphry Osmond to describe hallucinogenic drugs like mescaline and LSD – but this essay will not be about either the history of ‘head’ films or how to write film history on acid. What I want to do is to show what film […]

Documentaries without documents? Ecocinema and the toxic

November 8, 2013/in Autumn 2013_'Waste' /by Greg DeCuir

by Karl Schoonover In his Theory of Film, Siegfried Kracauer tasks the medium of cinema with a particularly modernist realism, one that recovers the significance of things cast aside and overlooked views. For him, the medium fulfills its potential when it produces images that defamiliarise the familiar or expose what is hidden right in front […]
