Krzysztof KieślowskiThe randomness of fate, the power of choice, and the gravity of circumstance are illustrated with three potential life paths, each brought on by a slight variation in a man’s race to catch a train.

Tuesday, April 7, 7:15 pmMAN OF IRON1981 - Poland - 2 hr 34 min - d. Andrzej WajdaBased on the actual Gdansk Shipyard strikes and the subsequent Solidarity worker’s uprising, this fi lm centers around the strike’s leader (based upon Lech Walesa, who makes a cameo in the fi lm), and uses actual footage from Solidarity protests. Although vehemently anti-communist, this fi lm slipped through a brief thaw in censorship, and won the 1981 Palme d’Or.

Tuesday, March 17, 7:15 pmASHES AND DIAMONDS1958 - Poland - 1 hr 44 min - d. Andrzej WajdaOn the fi nal day of WWII, two young soldiers in the Polish Home Army are tasked with assassinating an incoming commissar. Adapted from Jerzy Andrzejewski’s novel by the same name, and starring Zbigniew Cybulski (oft en referred to as “The Polish James Dean”), this anti-war realist masterpiece is widely considered one of the greatest works of Polish cinema.

The four fi lms from director Andrzej Wajda are shown in conjunction with the fi lm course Poland through the Prism of Andrzej Wajda (see p.13) and each screening will be introduced by the course’s instructor, Maurizio Giammarco, Ph.D.

an incredible opportunity to discover for yourself the great power of

Polish cinema, on the big screen in brilliantly restored digital masters.

In 1997, she became the fi rst black woman to head a major studio’s marketing operation when she joined New Line Cinema. Aft er leaving New Line, she has consulted on critically acclaimed fi lms and blockbusters alike, such as Spider–Man 2, The Artist, and The King’s Speech. Boone Isaacs will discuss what goes on behind the scenes of the Oscar process and the Academy, as well as her fascinating career.

This intimate conversation will be moderated by former Paramount Pictures Executive Vice President and Movie Tavern CEO John Hersker. The audience will also have a chance to pose questions to the Hollywood trailblazer at the end of the evening.

The Graduate (1967)

The Language of FilmTaught by Andrew J. Douglas, Ph.D., Director of Education, BMFI

Diegesis, mise-en-scene, and chiaroscuro are not trendy Center City nightspots but rather some of the key terms of fi lm analysis. This course introduces students to cinematic grammar, giving them the vocabulary and frames of reference to view and discuss motion pictures in an insightful and critical manner. Screenings largely consist of clips from a wide assortment of fi lms illustrating diff erent aspects of the medium’s language, including cinematography, sound, and editing.

From a very early age, we are all able to follow—and be delighted by—movies, but far too oft en, we continue to approach cinema like the same passive viewers we were as children. Join us to learn to engage with the medium on its own terms and to discover some of the techniques by which we make meaning of the movies we see. Understanding the language of fi lm allows you to get more enjoyment out of your cinematic experience—and to impress your friends at the post-movie discussion!

Class meets at the Perelman Building of the Philadelphia Museum of Art (2525 Pennsylvania Avenue in Philadelphia). 4 Wednesdays, April 8, 15, 22, 29, 10:30 am to 1:30 pmFee: $100 for BMFI members and PMA members, $125 for non-members.

BMFI Members: Please call 610-527-4008 x106 for instructions on receiving your tuition discount.To register for this class, please call 215-235-7469or visit www.philamuseum.org/bmfi lang

AT THE PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM OF ART

From Pitch to Premiere: The Movie BusinessTaught by Andrew M. Karasik, Film Producer, 30th Street Entertainment

The business of fi lmmaking may seem opaque, if not downright incomprehensible, but understanding how movies get made can foster a deeper appreciation of the art form on a number of levels. That being said, it is sometimes a wonder—even to those in the industry—that a fi lm ever gets shown to an audience in light of the obstacles the business can throw in one’s way.

This course will pull back the curtain on both the independent and Hollywood approaches to making movies in large part by charting the progression of our own hypothetical feature project from the dawn of the idea to the distribution of the fi nished product. Topics to be covered include: fi nancing, scheduling, assembling cast and crew (and who does what), putting out fi res during a shoot, the post-production process, and marketing. In addition, John Hersker, BMFI board member and former CEO of Movie Tavern, will share what he learned about fi lm distribution, theatrical releasing, and the ratings system during his 26 years at Paramount Pictures.

Hearing from industry veterans, using our imaginary fi lm, and learning from some of the cinema’s greatest successes and biggest blunders, you will come to understand the delicate balance of art and commerce that comprises feature fi lmmaking.

Poland through the Prism of Andrzej WajdaTaught by Maurizio Giammarco, Ph.D., Intellectual Heritage Program, Temple University

The father of modern Polish cinema and one of the great masters of narrative fi lmmaking, Andrzej Wajda received an Oscar for Lifetime Achievement in 1999. As the Academy noted, “Wajda belongs to Poland, but his fi lms are part of the cultural treasure of all mankind.” During the course of his career he has directed more than forty feature fi lms and served as a mentor for Polish fi lmmakers like Roman Polanski and Krzysztof Kieślowski.

Wajda brought the nascent post-WWII Polish cinema into the international arena in the mid-1950s with A Generation (1955), followed by Kanal (1957), which won the Special Jury Prize at Cannes, and then the fi lm that many consider his masterpiece, Ashes and Diamonds (1958). Wajda continued to make important work like Innocent Sorcerers (1960) and The Wedding (1972), as well as three fi lms, including Man of Iron (1981), that dramatized the political crisis of Poland’s Solidarity Movement in the 1970s and ‘80s. Never afraid of controversy, Wajda has continually questioned the national myths of his homeland and dared to touch upon old wounds and uncomfortable subjects, remaining an artist too important to be ignored or silenced for over half a century.

Class meets at BMFI: 4 Tuesdays, March 17, 24, 31, April 7, 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm

FILM COURSES

Chance Encounters, Permanent Consequences: The Cinema of Krzysztof KieślowskiTaught by Maurizio Giammarco, Ph.D., Intellectual Heritage Program, Temple University

A fi lmmaker preoccupied with similarities and paradoxes, Krzysztof Kieślowski's own career evolved over the years from one centered on political realities to one of metaphysical contemplation. Upon closer examination, however, both ends of his cinematic journey share a focus on individuals struggling to reconcile daily life with its cultural myths—be they communist propaganda, Biblical proverbs, or French revolutionary slogans. A powerful storyteller, Kieślowski undermines the ordered world of his documentary-like descriptions with the complex, oft en disillusioning lives of his central protagonists—portraits that alternate between pessimistic deconstruction and an aff ection for human resilience.

In addition to early works, such as Blind Chance (1981), A Short Film About Killing (1988), and the Decalogue (1989), we will consider Kieślowski's more famous fi lms: The Double Life of Veronique (1992) and the Three Colors Trilogy (Blue, White, and Red). In many ways, this cycle can be seen as an artful summation of his career since it off ers: an emphasis on the individual's life and one’s relationship to an ideal; a nuanced approach to narrative; and the central importance of art and performance, both public and private.

Class meets at BMFI: 4 Tuesdays, January 20, 27, February 3, 10, 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm

A Short Film About Killing (1988)

No Country for Old Men (2007)

Traffi cking in the Absurd: The Coen Brothers’ UniverseTaught by Paul Wright, Ph.D., Department of English, Cabrini College

Brothers Joel and Ethan Coen form a unique partnership, collaborating on both the scripting and the direction of fi lms that are among the most distinctive in contemporary American cinema. They display an uncanny ability to capture perfectly the language, look, and feel of a time and place—from the Depression-era South, to the frozen plains of Minnesota, and from post-1960s Los Angeles, to the desolation of rural Texas.

Hand-in-hand with this appreciation for how people thrive and sometimes wither in their element is the Coens' recognition of the comic absurdities inherent in how we make our way through a world we do not fully understand. This course will explore the Coens' impressive body of work, paying special attention to Fargo (1996), No Country for Old Men (2007), and A Serious Man (2009). The course will conclude with a special discussion of Noah Hawley’s television series based on Fargo. Hawley’s award-winning eff ort was executive-produced by the Coens with a minimum of their involvement—yet the extraordinary result is neither a strict adaptation nor a continuation of the original, but instead a bold elaboration on the Coens’ entire cinematic universe.

Class meets at BMFI: 4 Mondays, January 26, February 2, 9, 16, 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm


Annie Hall (1977)

Woody Allen: A Magical Misery TourTaught by Andrew J. Douglas, Ph.D., Director of Education, BMFI

At once prolifi c and profound, at times unnerving and uneven, no matter how you feel about Woody Allen's fi lms (or the man himself), there is one thing on which we all can agree: no other fi lmmaker has spun so much cinematic gold from his own neuroses. As a result, Allen's work is admired in the cafés of Paris and the bars of the Upper West Side, but not in too many multiplexes.

It is surprising, given the limited draw of most of his pictures, the degree to which elements from them have entered the collective consciousness; and Allen has had this infl uence while remaining committed to making small, oft en personal fi lms when a number of his peers have either moved on to larger and more glamorous canvases (Lucas, Scorsese), or appear to have nearly abandoned fi lmmaking altogether (Bogdanovich, Coppola).

Join us as we travel through Allen's extensive career—with stops ranging from his paradigm-shift ing Annie Hall (1977) to his "comeback" fi lm, Match Point (2005)—in an eff ort to better understand the appeal of the only writer/director who can credibly cite both Ingmar Bergman and Groucho Marx as formative infl uences. On second thought, perhaps that says it all.

Rome, Open City (1945)

Wednesday, March 4, 6:30 pm - 9:30 pmCinema Classics Seminar: ROME, OPEN CITYTaught by Maurizio Giammarco, Ph.D., Intellectual Heritage Program, Temple University

“All roads lead to Rome, Open City,” Jean-Luc Godard once said of Roberto Rossellini’s landmark Italian neorealist fi lm (see p. 8). Join us to examine this highly infl uential work, and learn how its visceral cinematography blends documentary grit with drama’s heart and soul to depict the people of Rome wrestling with the constraints, compromises, and collusions of life during wartime.

Wednesday, March 11, 6:30 pm - 9:30 pmCinema Classics Seminar: ON THE WATERFRONTTaught by Andrew J. Douglas, Ph.D., Director of Education, BMFI

Beyond Budd Schulberg’s screenplay, Elia Kazan’s direction, Boris Kaufman’s cinematography, Leonard Bernstein’s score, and a stellar cast led by Marlon Brando and Eva Marie Saint, On the Waterfront (see p. 9) stands out as an essential historical text of 1950s America. Join us to explore this rare instance of a creative movement and a cultural moment coalescing into an exceptional work.

Thursday, March 19, 6:30 pm - 9:30 pmCinema Classics Seminar: THE WICKER MANTaught by William Tortorelli, Ph.D., Department of Classics, Haverford College

Borrowing heavily from Euripides’ Bacchae, The Wicker Man (see p. 5) can be viewed as a Classical tragedy that poses complex questions about civilization and morality. By transporting the story to a remote Scottish isle in the 20th century, writer Anthony Shaff er craft s these ancient elements into a scenario that will facilitate our exploration of myth, religion, and ritual.

Seminars meet at BMFI in the 2nd fl oor Multimedia Room, the fi lm will be show in the theater.
