Man with a Movie Camera

My big thing that I was in a published journal I got on was Soviet montage theory and dialectics.

Stuff like October, Storm Over Asia, Man With A Movie Camera, obviously Battleship Potemkin.

There's things like The Death Ray, Kino Ai, you know, all that kind of stuff.

I did a big research project on, when we get into what got me in the film, I'm a huge Giallo fan, I did a whole research project on Dario Argento and Dario Nicolodi's collaborative and fraught filmography, basically tracking their relationship and collaboration from the start of their career together with Deep Red all the way through to Opera where they ended, and also Luigi Cosi's The Black Cat from 1989, which I think caps off what happened to them um i did loads of other things everything from german expressionism new african cinema japanese new wave obviously which i didn't talk uh czech new wave uh tyrianese new cinema um then like in film analysis methods we did like shot scale and screen space case studies and editing case studies, allegory and metaphor case studies, we did topics on things like VHS and video nasties, physical media, things like widescreen ratios, transition, I did a whole bunch of stuff on like world cinema as well, film as theory, gothic horror, film criticism, I did a Pedro Almeida study, post-colonial cinema,

That's going to be happening in October.

So we are going to be showing some silent films like Man with a Movie Camera and Faust from Morneau next month.

Excellent.

at the Woodward, so I'd love to perhaps see you there.

I mean, I think the guy that we got is going to, you know, bring his A game and be prepared.

At the Woodward, we're going to do some more experimental stuff, too.

We're going to do, like, a drum score for a man with a movie camera, just one drummer.

And we're going to do kind of like a synth.

Um, yeah.

Oh, uh, so, okay, I, we have to touch on something here that, uh, this film actually shares with, um, Man With a Movie Camera.

Ooh.

Ooh, okay.

Last Laugh.

Man with a Movie Camera.

Wiseman's Hospital and Welfare.

Killer of Sheep.

Wow.

Man with a Movie Camera, the 1929 classic.

Hmm.

And Singing in the Rain.

I'm going to list from memory to you the 30 films that we have in the takeout canon, starting with Far From Heaven, No Country for Old Men, Taxi Driver, The Graduate, Rushmore, One Battle After Another, Secret Agent, Misericordia.

Suspiria, Suspiria, Resurrection, Zodiac, Aftersun, Messiah of Evil, Man with a Movie Camera, The Last Lap, Welfare, Hospital.

Is there another double

in there?

Over the course of that first year, perhaps unsurprisingly, we did a lot about montage.

We looked at Man with a Movie Camera, Ziga Vertov.

We learned a lot about that, which is fascinating.

Yeah, yeah.
