Abstract

La vulgarisation de la notion d'auteur de film, tant du côté de la réception que de la production, fait écran à une question que la critique, héritière zélée de la Politique des auteurs mise en œuvre par les Cahiers du cinéma de jadis, ne pose plus, celle des critères qui permettraient de distinguer, de même que l'on distingue les écrivains des écrivants, les grands cinéastes des réalisateurs et des tâcherons. Ceci ne suffit pas à cela. Les critères d'appréciation étant devenus plus culturalistes qu’esthétiques, ou alors esthétisants, il n’est pas certains en bref que ceux que l’on présente comme des auteurs et les auteurs eux-mêmes soient de grands cinéastes. On ne prend guère en compte la façon dont le film fait sens au-delà de l’information, du discours, du message. Il ne suffit pas d’effets de sens, il faut que le spectateur soit mis en position de participer et même de construire du sens. Des classiques aux modernes, le cinéma a certes considérablement évolué : de nouveaux genres sont apparus, le cinéma documentaire a effectué des avancées et des mues essentielles, on n’est pas auteur aujourd’hui comme on l’était à l’époque des studios. Mais suffit-il d’être auteur ? Les critères sont plus que jamais nécessaires pour distinguer ceux des cinéastes qui sont, au même titre que les grands écrivains et artistes, des créateurs.

Abstract

"Screenwriting in a Digital Era" examines the practices of writing for the screen from early Hollywood to Dogme, the new realism and beyond. Looking back to prehistories of the form, Kathryn Millard links screenwriting to visual and oral storytelling. From the shadow playwrights of twelfth century Egypt to semi-improvised ensemble films played out on the streets of cities around the globe, she draws on a wealth of insights from music, photography, performance, writing, psychology and organisational studies to explore the creative processes underlying writing for the screen. Looking also to the future, "Screenwriting in a Digital Era" examines the blurring of genres, production stages and roles in digital ecologies and the rise of sustainable screenwriting.

Abstract

"Ask audience to cut the part of the image on the screen that they don't like. Supply scissors."--Yoko Ono, Tokyo, June 1964 A dazzling range of unconventional film scripts and texts, many published for the first time, make up Scott MacDonald's newest collection. Illustrated with nearly 100 film stills, this fascinating book is at once a reference work of film history and an unparalleled sampling of experimental "language art." It contributes to the very dissipation of boundaries between cinematic, literary, and artistic expression thematized in the films themselves. Each text and script is introduced and contextualized by MacDonald; a filmography and a bibliography round out the volume. This is a readable--often quite funny--literature that investigates differences between seeing and reading. Represented are avant-garde classics such as Hollis Frampton's Poetic Justice and Zorns Lemma and Morgan Fisher's Standard Gauge, and William Greaves's recently rediscovered Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One. Michael Snow turns film loose on language in So Is This; Peter Rose turns language loose on theory in Pressures of the Text. Some of the most influential feminist filmscripts of recent decades--Laura Mulvey and Peter Wollen's Riddles of the Sphinx, Su Friedrich's Gently Down the Stream, Trinh T. Minh-ha's Reassemblage, Yvonne Rainer's Privilege--confirm this book's importance for readers in gender and cultural studies as well as for filmmakers and admirers of experimental writing, independent cinema, and the visual arts in general.
