SUMMARY:Voice\, Gender\, Character: Tessitura Film Screening and Q&A
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of the short film\, Tessitura. After the screening\, we’ll be joined by co-directors\, Lydia Cornett and Brit Fryer\, for a Q&A moderated by Rebekah Peeples\, Deputy Dean of the College and author of “Unchanged Trebles.” \nTessitura explores how contemporary opera singers navigate the traditional vocal categories of their art form\, interweaving their personal stories with historical context. Central to this exploration is musicologist Dr. Naomi André\, who provides context about the legacy of castrati and trouser roles – grounding the film in opera’s long association with dismantling gender binaries. But at the heart of the film are three singers on unique journeys: Breanna Sinclairé\, a soprano dreaming of performing traditional leading roles; Lucas Bouk\, a baritone searching for his place in modern opera repertoire; and Katherine Goforth\, a rising star who is committed to redefining the opera’s boundaries. \nA reception will follow the event.  \nRead more about the event on the IHUM website.

SUMMARY:Free Screening of Claude McKay\, From Harlem to Marseille (2023) + Q&A with filmmaker Matthieu Verdeil
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Princeton French Film Series\, you’re invited to watch Claude McKay\, From Harlem to Marseille (2023) by filmmaker Matthieu Verdeil\, who will be in attendance for a Q&A. \nPractical information: Open to everyone upon registration. In French and English with English subtitles\, the screening will start at 6:30 PM on Wednesday\, October 8th\, 2025\, and will last approximately 70 minutes. Doors to the screening room open at 6:15 PM. \nSynopsis: Matthieu Verdeil directed the first documentary devoted to the work and tumultuous life of Claude McKay\, the Jamaican poet and writer. Punctuated with archival footage and readings set against swing music\, the film is an incredible journey through the 1920s\, from Marseille to Harlem\, and on to Jamaica\, Russia\, and Morocco. It evokes the artistic avant-gardes of the early century that McKay encountered in New York with the Harlem Renaissance and later in Europe\, the social movements he chronicled in England\, and the political figures he met such as Trotsky. One comes away struck by the great freedom with which McKay moved through his era\, becoming a forerunner of both literature and the Black cause.

SUMMARY:Film is Dead. Long Live Film!
DESCRIPTION:The Garden Theatre is excited to present an evening dedicated to the magic of film projection. On May 21st at 7pm\, the moviehouse will screen the documentary Film is Dead. Long Live Film! Beforehand\, the audience will have the pleasure of experiencing an antique projector demonstration by the Garden’s Operations Director\, Jesse Crooks. The event is free for members of the nonprofit cinema. \nFilm is Dead. Long Live Film! is a lively and loving tribute to the private film collector. As studios and distributors neglected and disposed of countless reels of film throughout the 20th century\, these individuals worked in the shadows to preserve much of cinematic history. The documentary highlights the efforts of some of the most important people in the cause\, including the late Lou DiCrescenzo – mentor of the Garden’s own Jesse Crooks\, who also features in the film. \nCrooks will be on hand to display a truly special cinematic artifact: an 1898 Edison Projecting Kinetoscope with carbon arc\, which was previously held and maintained in DiCrescenzo’s private collection. He will be presenting rare Edison shorts from the 1890s.\nThere are currently two 35mm Kinotone projectors stored in the Garden’s booth\, patiently waiting to get back to work. The theater is looking to reinstall these machines so that the community can once again appreciate and enjoy film on film; more details about this process will soon be announced. In the meantime\, the Garden’s audience will be able to witness the technical marvel of early film projection with Edison’s Kinetoscope. \nTickets can be purchased at the box office or online at https://princetongardentheatre.org/films/film-is-dead-long-live-film.

SUMMARY:Magic (Post) Realism: Jasminum (Poland – 2006)
DESCRIPTION:Jasminum | Directed by – Jan Jakub Kolski (Poland – 2006) \nPrior Kleofas and Brother Sanitas live in a monastery in the small town of Jasminum (Latin for jasmine) with three other monks named after their respective body odors: Plum\, Cherry and Birdcherry. The prior is determined to find portents of the soon-to-come fulfillment of Barnabas’ Prophecy. However\, the peaceful world of the monastery is destroyed by the arrival of two monument restorers: the young Natasha and her five-years-old daughter\, Eugenia\, whose charm and inquiring mind wreak havoc in the monks’ monotonous life. Despite initial reluctance\, Natasha starts the maintenance of the images stored in the monastery. And so\, the secrets of the monastery are unravelled: the unhappy lovers’ bodies placed in the catacombs\, and the secret elixir of love created with the smell of the monks. \nJasminum is the eleventh film of Polish film director\, Jan Jakub Kolski. Born in in Wrocław in 1956\, Kolski studied cinematography at the famous Film School in Łódź\, where he now runs a screenplay workshop. In 2007 he gained his doctoral degree in film art. He’s also a lecturer at Andrzej Wajda Master School of Film Directing. Kolski has won many awards in Poland and abroad. Among his major international successes is the Special Award at The Film Festival in Tokyo in 1995 for his Playing from the Plate. In 2000\, he also became a member of the European Film Academy. His 2000 film Keep Away from the Window was entered into the 23rd Moscow International Film Festival.

SUMMARY:Film Studies Lecture - Ghosts and Guests in the Machine: Animism and Technology
DESCRIPTION:Film is historically based on animating single shots into moving images – therefore\, one can look at film as a technique of animation beyond animation as a genre of film. With this comes the impression of liveliness\, which is the result of the cinematographic animation of the spectator. We animate machines\, machines animate us. This simple reciprocity grounds the basic relationship between hands\, tools\, instruments\, machines etc. and the human body as senso-motoric perceptive player. Leaving the dualism that came with the concept of mind as a ‘ghost in the machine’ of a physical\, mechanical body or the master narrative of machines as the alien who intrudes a human world and body I will explore specific cases of technologically produced and enhanced artworks how the interplay between machines and humans may point to a technoaesthetic that offers a wider horizon on this interaction. \nProf. Dr. Gertrud Koch. Professor Emerita for Cinema Studies at Freie Universität Berlin\, visiting professor at Brown University (2013-2023)\, and served as Professor II at Oslo University. Currently visiting professor at Leuphana-Universität in Lüneburg and at Princeton University. Numerous stays as a research fellow and visiting professor (NYU\, Columbia\, Berkeley\, Tel Aviv University\, Getty Research Center in Los Angeles et al.) She was the director of the research center Aesthetic Experience in the Sign of the Entanglement of the Arts “ in Berlin from 2006-2014. \nShe is author of numeorus monographies\, including Herbert Marcuse zur Einführung (zus.mit Hauke Brunkhorst)\, Hamburg 1987; “Was ich erbeute\, sind Bilder”. Zur filmischen Repräsentation der Geschlechterdifferenz\, Frankfurt a.M. 1988; Die Einstellung ist die Einstellung.

SUMMARY:The Unburied: Material Histories of Film in the Owens Valley
DESCRIPTION:The Owens Valley\, a slender stretch of high desert in Eastern California\, is a place of origins. It has played a major\, if underrecognized\, role in the industrial development of Los Angeles\, particularly for the silver extracted in the late 19th century and the water diverted into the Los Angeles Aqueduct in the early 20th. These and other histories have been inscribed\, though often miswritten\, in film\, including in the nearly 500 Hollywood productions shot in the region’s Alabama Hills. But look closer into these beginnings and one will find traces of the lives and labors of dispossessed Indigenous peoples\, Mexican settlers\, and Asian immigrants. This talk focuses on the latter group: Chinese miners killed in a devastating accident at the Cerro Gordo mine\, Japanese-Americans interned at Manzanar\, and the minor characters that\, through their background expressions in films\, point to a different direction for the Hollywood imaginary. The history of film\, in its most basic\, material composition of silver nitrate\, is conditioned by these half-buried figures\, however incidental they have been to an already neglected landscape. As the experience of “film” has become all but entirely digitized\, the retrieval of these foundational elements of the film image reveals a representational form whose geographical and material origins are still largely unexplored. \nBio:\nGenevieve Yue is an associate professor of Culture and Media and director of the Screen Studies program at Eugene Lang College\, The New School. She is co-editor of the Cutaways series at Fordham University Press\, and her essays and criticism have appeared in Reverse Shot\, October\, Grey Room\, The Times Literary Supplement\, Film Comment\, and Film Quarterly. She is also an independent film programmer\, with screenings at Anthology Film Archives\, Metrograph\, Light Industry\, and\, most recently\, Tallinn Photomonth\, a biennial of contemporary art and visual culture in Tallinn\, Estonia. Her book Girl Head: Feminism and Film Materiality was published in 2020 by Fordham University Press.

SUMMARY:Faber Lecture - From the Cloud to the Resistance
DESCRIPTION:The paper discusses Abbas Kiarostami’s 1979 film\, First Case\, Second Case. Completed at the end of the Iranian Revolution\, just days before the Shah fled Iran and Khomeini returned from\nexile to take command of the newly-liberated nation\, the film had to be significantly revised in the face of this historical scission and an uncertain future. What was at stake in this moment\, Khomeini claimed\, was the sensorium of the Iranian people and the role cinema should play in restoring it. Kiarostami took these stakes seriously and responded directly. \nJoan Copjec is a philosopher\, theorist\, and feminist film scholar. Her books include Imagine There’s No Woman: Ethics and Sublimation (MIT Press\, 2003)\, Read My Desire: Lacan against the Historicists (MIT Press\, 1994)\, and Supposing the Subject (Verso\, 1994)

SUMMARY:Inside the Mind of the Influencing Machine: Set Design in the Age of Cold War Television
DESCRIPTION:Join the Committee for Film Studies for the third and final lecture in our spring 2023 series that brings prominent film scholars into conversation with members of the Princeton community. This event features Weihong Bao\, Associate Professor of Film and Media at the University of California-Berkeley. \nTalk title\n“Inside the Mind of the Influencing Machine: Set Design in the Age of Cold War Television” \nAbstract\nThis talks considers “influence” as an atmospheric notion of media that binds mind and society at the onset of the cold war and rise of television. Influence\, in this context\, does not entail a one-way traffic but a structure of interdependence\, relying on a new notion of set design that orchestrates a system of responses and reactions that produces resonances and dissonances\, signal and noise. Situated at the early era of the People’s Republic (1949-) in the decade between the ideological campaign of Thought Reform (1951-1952) and Great Leap Forward (1958-1962) movement\, I examine how the “cool media” of television (McLuhan) reconfigures set design through a new set of technological and human assembly. With this framework\, I return to the site of television production\, not as the origin of signal dissemination\, but the node where issues of transmission\, amplification\, and reception informs and shapes the very production process. This understanding of television as wireless and human infrastructure reveals how the celebrated liveness and immediacy of television involved intricate task of coordination and synchronization\, putting a new demand on human attention and labor with implications on acting\, directing\, and editing. Probing the influencing machinery and aesthetics of television in connection with other media\, my talk highlights the tension intrinsic to influence caught between a climatic regime of power and aesthetic operations of resonances\, between spatial-temporal axes of enclosure and porosity\, stasis and motion. \nWeihong Bao is Associate Professor of Film and Media at UC-Berkeley. She is the author of Fiery Films: The Emergence of an Affective Medium in China\, 1915-1945 (University of Minnesota Press\, 2015)\, honored by the Modernist Studies Association Best Book Prize in 2016. She has co-edited two special issues Media/Climates (Representations 2022) and Medium/Environment (Critical Inquiry 2023). She is currently completing a book\, “Background Matters: Set Design and The Art of Environment.” The book examines the co-emergence of environmental thinking and set design from early to mid-twentieth century China\, across film\, theater\, architecture\, and television. She is the editor-in-chief for The Journal of Chinese Cinemas and co-edits the “film theory in media history” book series published by Amsterdam University Press. \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nThe spring 2023 lecture series is sponsored by the Humanities Council’s Committee for Film Studies. \nPlease email program manager Margo Bresnen at mbresnen@princeton.edu with any questions.
