Archive außer sich
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. The four-year project of the Arsenal – Institute for Film and Video Art is a series of interdisciplinary research, presentation, and exhibition projects dealing with film cultural heritage and its archives. What is cultural heritage, what communities and narratives, what addressees and mediation formats can be derived from it and how durable are they? Or: what still unknown archives can the present produce? The basis of this is formed by the idea of the Living Archive: research, digitization, and/or restoration of archival holdings are part of an artistic and curatorial practice of the present understood as participation. The archive is a site of production. Out of the diversity of the starting materials–complete films, films that are damaged or can no longer be reconstructed, ephemeral films, working materials, marginal notes, and objects–as well as the specific localities of the partners–archives, cinemas, festivals, art spaces, universities, public television stations, databanks, a former crematorium–arises a question: What is a film archive today? What claims does the public make on archives and what present and future can be proposed, even speculatively, from archival constellations and new forms of navigation? The archives involved become laboratories for critically reflecting on the category of film heritage, but also “heritage” in general, for instance in relation to colonial or migration history or to the history of political and aesthetic movements. Alongside its value for film history and theory, the project will also contribute to developing new perspectives on the politics of film culture. The term film heritage will be positioned in relation to other classification categories such as “transnational cinema” or “world cinema.” From political, aesthetic, or even chance connections, elective affinities will emerge from the present, contributing to devising new concepts of temporality. Participating institutions: International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, Film Feld Forschung gGmbH, Harun Farocki Institut, SAVVY Contemporary, pong film GmbH and the masters program “Film Culture: Archiving, Programming, Presentation” at the Goethe University Frankfurt. “Archive außer sich” is a project of Arsenal – Institute for Film and Video Art, in the frame of the cooperation “The Whole Life: An Archive Project” together with Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Pina Bausch Foundation and Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden. It is part of HKW’s project “The New Alphabet,” supported by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media due to a ruling of the German Bundestag. -

BFI's Dustin Hoffman: 10 Essential Films
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. From The Graduate to Rain Man, we celebrate the career of two-time Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman, one of the finest actors of his generation. In the early 1960s, if casting directors were looking for a leading man, he was more likely to resemble Paul Newman than he was Dustin Hoffman. Hoffman – skinny-faced and unprepossessing – was working as a jobbing stage actor in New York when he found himself in the running for the lead role in a new Mike Nichols film. After his audition out in Hollywood, the story goes that Hoffman reached out to shake the prop man’s hand and a pile of NYC subway tokens fell out of his pocket. The man’s response as he helped gather them? “You’re gonna need these, kid.” Luckily for all of us, he didn’t end up needing them. Instead, Dustin Hoffman would unexpectedly take on the lead role as Benjamin Braddock in The Graduate (1967). Since then, he’s been one of the most dynamic actors in Hollywood, continually defying expectations, casting vanity aside and refusing to be pigeonholed. Here are 10 of his finest films.

Festival de Valdivia's Best Latin American Films from 1993 to 2013
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. In 2013, to celebrate 20 years of Chile's most important festival, programmers from other festivals from the region were asked to vote for the essential Latin American films of the period 1993-2013 to be screened at the festival. Resulting in the following list. Note that there was a restriction on the number of films from each country they could vote for, which made some acclaimed films from countries with very few film productions to stand higher in the final ranking (Hamaca Paraguaya from Paraguay, and Whisky from Uruguay for instance). This doesn't take away anything from these great films though. -

Sight & Sound's Directors’ 100 Greatest Films of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. Every decade since 1992, Sight and Sound has complemented its celebrated critics’ poll by formally sounding out the world’s leading directors on the ten films they believe to be the greatest of all time. Though it has always been global and inclusive in scope, the poll has expanded significantly each decade. In 1992, 101 directors voted; fast-forward to 2012, when 358 filmmakers took part. This year, for the fourth edition of the poll, we received ballots from 480 directors. This electorate spans experimental, arthouse, mainstream and genre filmmakers from around the world. In every case, the voter is a director of note. Here are the 100 greatest films of all time, as voted for by many of today’s greatest living filmmakers. -
Sight & Sound's The Greatest Films of All Time (Critics)

The Pendragon Society's 100 Greatest Film Acting Performances of All-Time
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. So what are the greatest acting performances of all time? Throughout August 2019 we polled members and contributors to find out what they considered to be the greatest performances in film ever. As with all these types of polls the final list is not going to please everyone. Perhaps unsurprisingly (and a little disappointingly) the best of the American mainstream dominates here, with a high placing for Heath Ledger’s turn in The Dark Knight and a large representation from the New Hollywood era (with 5 entries for the first 2 Godfather films!). What stands out more than anything is the lack of female performances that make the top 100 (only 12!). Is Casablanca really Bogart’s best performance? Wasn’t Brando better in On the Waterfront than anything he did in the 70s? Let us know what you think. ---Pendragon Society The following films appear more than once: The Godfather (#1, #16, #100) Schindler's List (#4, #60) The Godfather Part II (#13, #24) Apocalypse Now (#28, #58) The Deer Hunter (#30, #65) The Shawshank Redemption (#32, #73) Persona (#35, #54) The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (#45, #68) Goodfellas (#49, #51) Gone with the Wind (#62, #78) -

100 British Documentaries (BFI Screen Guide) (work in progress)
Favs/dislikes: 3:0. "Ever since John Grierson popularized the term "documentary," British non-fiction film has been renowned, sometimes reviled, but seldom properly appreciated. "100 British Documentaries "provides a uniquely accessible, occasionally provocative introduction to a rich and surprisingly varied tradition by considering 100 examples taken from across a century's worth of output. The 100 films range from the Victorian period to the present day. Alongside such classics as "Night Mail "and "Touching the Void "are documentaries that illustrate the many uses to which it has been put - from pro-gram-filler to political propaganda to classroom teaching aid - and the many styles and viewpoints it has embraced. While the focus is on the documentary "film," several television productions are included, indicating how the genre has developed on the small screen." -
101 Greatest Screenplays of the 21st Century by WGA
Favs/dislikes: 3:0. Fifteen years ago, when the Writers Guild of America West (WGAW) and the Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE) compiled the 101 Greatest Screenplays of all time, the list was nothing short of a 20th century canon. The romantic wartime spy thriller Casablanca (written by the brothers Julius J. & Philip G. Epstein, and Howard Koch) was voted number 1; 99 screenplays later, at 101, was another romantic wartime spy thriller, Notorious (written by Ben Hecht). In between were foundational examples of film noir (Double Indemnity, written by Billy Wilder and Raymond Chandler), romantic comedy (Annie Hall, written by Woody Allen and Marshall Brickman), and gritty social drama (On the Waterfront, written by Budd Schulberg). But “canon” is a double-edged word: Of those 101 scripts, there were no writers of color, and only seven had a female screenwriter credited. 'The new 101 Greatest Screenplays of the 21st Century (*so far) could not but tell a different, and fluid, story. On the prior list, classic films about women, like Sunset Boulevard or All About Eve, were still narrated by men—one lying dead in a swimming pool. There are some 30 female screenwriters this time around, and five writers of color in the top 10. More to the point, there is not the sense that the writer had to contrive a way to make his or her character more…relatable, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation. As the number one vote-getter, Get Out is this list’s version of Casablanca: Imagine Jordan Peele pitching his concept to Jack Warner, and it immediately becomes apparent why comparing screenplays across Hollywood epochs is a non-starter. “We weren’t making art, we were making a living,” screenwriter Julius Epstein famously quipped of the studio system under which Casablanca was written. Get Out wasn’t conceived and written under any such restrictions, with a catch: The very concept of “writing for the screen” is in existential crisis. The studio system has given way to the streaming system, where everything, no matter the source, competes for eyeballs. This great (right?) democratization of content has also changed a lot of hard-and-fast rules. There are seven scripts for animated films on the new list. Depth of character, once strictly the province of the drama, or the issue film, is not out of place in a superhero movie or one starring a badly behaving bridesmaid. And formerly individuated genres like sci-fi, horror, comedy, and drama intersect freely, sometimes all in the same screenplay—see Parasite or The Lobster. Some things haven’t changed, list to list. Among the screenwriter’s roles is to reveal what is sick or horribly amiss in the culture. It was as true of Network or The Sweet Smell of Success as it is of The Big Short or Promising Young Woman. Universal themes are universal for a reason. For instance, the destructive nature of outsize power, concentrated in the hands of one apparently friend-less man. Charles Foster Kane, meet Mark Zuckerberg. There are other cool double bills across lists. All the President’s Men and Spotlight; Harold and Maude and Lars and the Real Girl; Sullivan’s Travels and Nomadland. Speaking of which, it is worth noting that most of the protagonists from the 20th century list had enviable job security, even if this meant Mafia boss, intergalactic warrior, or shark hunter. On the new list, occupation no longer defines character; but then again the middle class has vanished, the chasm between rich and poor evinced in movies from Roma to Little Miss Sunshine. And in screenplays like Wall-E, Arrival, or Children of Men, there is the heavy presence of a question: What exactly are we doing to ourselves, if not the planet? Perhaps that’s why the relatively earnest romantic comedy, at least as practiced by Nora Ephron’s When Harry Met Sally, is absent from the new list, unless you count the man-on-operating-system love of Her, or the teenage besties of Superbad and Booksmart. The screenwriters of the 20th century list were men who had either served in war, fled persecution in their home country, or come of age in war’s shadow. Cinema’s first job, until the studio system died and the rebel filmmakers of the 1960s and ’70s came along, was escape. The characters of the 21st century list are plagued by a different sort of battle. It involves the hard-fought realization of selfhood against mitigating forces of circumstance, biology, technology, identity, and neurosis. See Adaptation, Boyhood, Moonlight, and Inside Out. Destiny is now an option question, happily ever after just a construct. From Get Out at number 1, to Silver Linings Playbook at 101, the screenplays on this list invariably approach this question of self with authentic curiosity, boldness of vision, and a sense of artistic—if not personal—risk. -
Caribbean Film Database's Caribbean Classics
Favs/dislikes: 3:0. The Caribbean Film Database includes a section of classic films. These are films that live on from generation to generation because they are exceptionally well-made and reflect universal stories that transcend their period. There is a rich cinematic history in the Caribbean consisting of films from throughout the region that have not necessarily had wide-scale distribution or reached international audiences. Some films from our selection are more well known—The Harder They Come from Jamaica, for example—but other equally well-crafted films like Ava and Gabriel from Curaçao or One People from Suriname have had less recognition. In an effort to provide more exposure to the history of Caribbean filmmaking, we present the following selection of Caribbean Classics.
