  7. FEMIS - Les 208 Films qu'il faut avoir vu's icon

    FEMIS - Les 208 Films qu'il faut avoir vu

    Favs/dislikes: 13:0. Cette liste n’est pas un palmarès, ni en aucun cas la liste des 208 meilleurs films de l’histoire du cinéma. Sa visée est tout autre. 208 films, c’est 1 film par semaine pendant 4 ans, c’est-à-dire un rythme de croisière tout à fait raisonnable pour un élève de la Femis, qui a choisi de faire du cinéma son métier. Nul ne saurait évidemment s’en contenter. Quel est le sens d’une telle liste ? Un jeune homme ou une jeune femme qui aurait vu (vraiment vu, c’est-à-dire médité, discuté, car voir sans laisser résonner ce que l’on a vu n’est pas voir) ces 208 films aurait une solide idée de ce qui l’a précédé dans le cinéma depuis que celui-ci existe. Cette liste nous semble dessiner une carte des œuvres et des cinéastes indispensables à qui veut se repérer dans un univers où il se prépare à entrer. La visée de cette liste est moins d’histoire (au sens propre du terme) que de culture cinématographique. Aucun peintre ne peut faire l’économie des grandes œuvres qui l’ont précédé. Il en va de même au cinéma : il importe au plus haut point de connaître ce dont le cinéma a été capable avant son propre engagement, de quelque ordre qu’il soit, dans cet art. La cinéphilie a toujours eu partie liée avec un goût pour la liste en tant qu’elle est provisoirement close et exclusive, donc objet possible de discussions passionnées. Toute liste est par définition contestable. Celle-ci a été élaborée en concertation avec les directeurs de département de l’école, la directrice des études, son directeur et son président. Chacun pourra néanmoins s’étonner ou s’indigner de tel ou tel manque, de tel ou tel choix. C’est aussi l’intérêt d’une telle liste de pousser chacun à comparer avec SA liste idéale, à chercher les absences à ses yeux scandaleuses. Cela permet de faire le point sur sa propre planète de cinéma imaginaire, de mieux cerner la cartographie de son goût propre. Cette liste assume sereinement les distorsions perspectives issues du fait qu’elle est établie à un moment donné (2008), en un point donné (La France), pour des destinataires précis (les élèves de la FEMIS), avec une part normale de subjectivité. Personne ne vient du ciel d’une Histoire du cinéma aux valeurs immanentes. Elle a été établie avec beaucoup de scrupules, doutes, repentirs, à partir de celles que nous ont été communiquées au moment de son élaboration, mais toujours en gardant en tête son objectif d’auto-culture pour des jeunes gens qui se destinent à la création cinématographique, à quelque poste que ce soit. Il ne s’agit en aucun cas des films les plus aboutis de chaque cinéaste. Le choix s’est plutôt porté sur les films où le cinéaste affichait sa plus grande singularité, où était le plus sensible sa musique personnelle, ou encore le film où il venait de découvrir sa place dans le cinéma et son possible apport personnel. Il est toujours plus intéressant pour un apprenti d’observer le moment où un cinéaste s’est trouvé plutôt que celui où il a commencé à maîtriser calmement ce qu’il avait trouvé. Le choix s’est toujours porté sur ce qui nous a semblé être les films les plus profitables à un apprenti en cinéma d’aujourd’hui. Choisir un film de Jean Renoir, de Fritz Lang, d’Orson Welles ou de Godard est aussi absurde que choisir un tableau de Picasso dans un siècle de peinture, surtout pour les cinéastes qui ont traversé des périodes radicalement différentes du cinéma, par exemple du muet au parlant pour Buñuel ou du cinéma européen au cinéma américain pour Lang. Il va de soi que le film choisi vaut comme simple indication emblématique, et que l’on ne saurait se contenter, pour les grands cinéastes, de voir un seul de leurs films. Le cinéma français a la part belle dans cette liste puisqu’après tout c’est dans cette généalogie que la plupart des élèves de la FEMIS, quel que soit leur département, vont avoir à trouver leur place et inscrire leur travail. Le cinéma des trente dernières années y occupe une place de choix dans la mesure où il est le plus prégnant dans la constitution d’une pensée actuelle du cinéma. Il y a des films qui aident à vivre (ceux-là, rares, on les trouve tout seul) et les films qui aident à créer (ceux-là répondent à d’autres critères, et on ne les croise par toujours au bon moment, quand on en aurait besoin). Les avoir repérés avant peut être d’un grand recours. Voir de tels films, quand on s’apprête à travailler dans le cinéma, déclenche des idées, des réflexions, des comparaisons, des envies, des pulsions et répulsions de cinéma. Rien n’est plus volatile que ces idées de traverse. C’est aussi une fonction de cette liste : susciter l’envie de noter à chaud et pour soi, sur chaque film vu, ces idées de traverse. Nul doute que ces notes d’apprenti sur les œuvres du passé ne deviennent à la longue un outil précieux de repérage de soi, de ses goûts et dégoûts, des grandes lignes de force de son idée de cinéma. Et il n’y a pas de bon cinéma, pour quiconque y travaille, sans une idée forte du cinéma. Alain Bergala (2008)

  10. Masters of cinema on Blu Ray's icon

    Masters of cinema on Blu Ray

    Favs/dislikes: 12:0. This list is the little brother of the official list https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/masters+of+cinema/ and only features the releases of the masters of cinema/eureka label on blu ray. From the Masters of cinema website: "Blu-ray is the most immersive and faithful representation of "the cinema experience" currently available in the home today (outside of a costly 35mm projector). Unfortunately, the industry has poorly explained and demonstrated the technology, sowing confusion and giving the impression that Blu-ray is not enough of a worthwhile upgrade from DVD. When compared with an actual 35mm frame, the DVD format — now well into its second decade as the world's favourite film-holding receptacle — is akin to a Polaroid of an oil painting. Watchable, but capable of being far surpassed. Blu-ray is the first home format to adequately represent the depth and texture of celluloid — and in a Blu-ray marketplace overflowing with mainstream tat, we aim to offer a nourishing alternative. Consequently, we heartily recommend upgrading to a multi-region Blu-ray player. We released our first Blu-ray in November 2008 and the format is currently our main focus." The list is ranked according to the blu-ray spine numbers given by masters of cinema, but because some numbers contain more than one title, the numbering is different.

  12. Criterion War Films's icon

    Criterion War Films

    Favs/dislikes: 11:0. The continuing cultural fascination with World War II has ensured that it’s the conflict most represented in cinema, and the Criterion Collection indeed contains more works about that massive conflagration than any other—whether harrowing dramas made right in its crosshairs (like Rome Open City) or poetic studies produced decades later (like The Thin Red Line)—seen through the eyes of filmmakers from many nations. But there are battle cries from other epochs in the collection as well, and taken together, these films embody a history of human combat, from the brother-against-brother bloodshed of the American Civil War (Ride with the Devil) to the trench warfare of the First World War (Wooden Crosses) to the jungle skirmishes of the Cuban Revolution (Che).

  16. UC Berkeley's History of Avant Garde Film's icon

    UC Berkeley's History of Avant Garde Film

    Favs/dislikes: 10:0. A course taught at Berkeley in the fall of 2012 by Professor Jeffrey Skoller. [i]“Beauty will be convulsive or will not be at all!” -- Andre Breton Avant-garde film is a cinema of subversion, of sensual perversion, filled with constantly challenging, unruly images and ideas that are often messy, sublime and like life, complicated! Avant-Garde Film is also a cinema of counter-culture whose filmmakers are challenging the edges of aesthetic, social, intellectual and sexual, acceptability. Not bound by the bottom line of corporate checkbooks and middle-brow gentility, avant-garde cinema challenges us to see, think and feel differently. Each film is a pipe cleaner for the mind clearing out sludge from years of watching the mind numbing conventions of shopping mall cinema and infantilizing info-tainment TV. We explore the rich and varied history of films made by fine artists who are experimenting with the formal, perceptual and narrative elements of film as well as looking at the poetic traditions of the first person cinema. Through weekly screenings, the reading of word texts, talking to visiting artists, discussing and writing about the films as well as making short filmic artworks, we move back and forth between historical and contemporary practices sampling from the garden of underground, personal, poetic, queer, surrealist cinemas, feminist, structural-materialist, punk, found films, love films and smash-the-state films![/i] The Dante Quartet by Brakhage is listed twice. Pushcarts of Eternity by Ken Jacobs (2006, 10 minutes) is listed but I can only find [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1961587/]The Pushcarts leave Eternity Street (2011, 13 min)[/url] which doesn't seem the same so I did not add it. (Posthumous) by Ghassan Salhab (2007, 28 minutes) does not seem to be on IMDb. Dead Weight of a Quarrel Hangs by Walid Raad (2001, 18minutes) does not seem to be on IMDb.

    Viennale's The Way of the Termite: The Essay in Film 1909-2004

    Favs/dislikes: 8:0. The Essay in Cinema was organized by The Austrian Film Museum and originally presented at the Viennale (Vienna International Film Festival) in October 2007. [quote]The extensive programme was curated by the French filmmaker and theorist Jean-Pierre Gorin who lives and teaches in San Diego and whose own work - partly created in collaboration with Jean-Luc Godard - includes important contributions to the "essayistic strategy” in cinema. Gorin has selected 60 works from 20 nations - among them a number of classics of film history as well as numerous (re-)discoveries. Beyond the characteristic and often-quoted elements - such as the presence of the author’s voice and the first person singular perspective chosen by many of these films - the essay film according to Gorin "is a rumination in Nietzsche's sense of the word, the meandering of an intelligence that tries to multiply the entries and the exits into the material it has elected (or has been elected by).[/quote]
