Pandora’s digital box: From the periphery to the center, or the one of many centers
A laserdisc of The East Is Red; a VCD of Peking Opera Blues. DB here: On my first visit to Hong Kong in early 1995, one of my missions was to acquire video copies of all those HK films I wanted to study. The VHS tapes I’d seen in the States had grimy images and pan-and-scan framing. So, armed with my credit card, I focused on a higher-end format, the laserdisc. For those too young or too sequestered to know this format, I should explain.

Want to learn about film history? You can take a class on the subject, where you’ll likely need a copy of Kristin Thompson and David Bordwell’s standard text Film History: An Introduction, and possibly the companion book, Film Art: An Introduction. These are phenomenal resources written by two top-notch scholars who have spent their lives watching and analyzing films, and should you have the time and money to study their comprehensive introductions, by all means do so. But of course, there’s no substitute for actually watching the hundreds of films they reference, from the early days of the medium through its many re-visions and innovations in the 20th century. But why, ask Thompson and Bordwell, “should anybody care about old movies?” The obvious answer is that they “offer intense artistic experiences or penetrating visions of human life in other times and places.”

It takes place over the course of a night, segmented into three moments and locations: an exclusive club, a luxurious home and the advertising-lit streets of Geneva. Virgil Vernier sent us the following text to introduce his film: “I did the casting based on party pictures posted on the Instagram account of a nightclub, the fanciest one in Geneva.

Opening Scenes of Alfred Hitchcock films (film directing, criticism, story settings)
Borgus.com - Geography and space were important factors in Alfred Hitchcock’s storytelling technique. So much so that film scholar Paul Duncan (2003) described his formal style as merely "a series of set pieces linked together by plot." In 1934, Hitchcock wrote to readers of Film Weekly declaring his appetite for more "freshness in choice of backgrounds" citing mundane locations in other British films (Gottlieb 1995). Here we will examine more specifically the opening scenes of Alfred Hitchcock films and examine his strategy for introducing his stories to the viewer. In his opening scenes, Hitchcock established tone and setting from a point of objectivity toward the subjective, flirted with the boundaries between public space and private space, and painted a satirical world filled with a tapestry of caricatures. 1.
