Drawing on original archival research, I show how Ott used the spectacle of nature to cultivate popular interest in the innovative automated moving-image techniques and technologies he developed to photograph the secrets of nature. In the process, I consider how Ott reanimated early cinematic aesthetic, exhibition, and reception practices that invite us to see the popular science film as a genre that is as much about exploring the nature and possibilities of new moving-image forms as it is about science education.","PeriodicalId":426632,"journal":{"name":"Film History: An International Journal","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132710210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also noteworthy, however, is their centrality to contemporary discourse on cinema's potential function as a universal language. Rather than endorsing this type of procinema rhetoric, this article focuses on the adaptive strategies whereby these utopianist pretensions were constructed: context-specific reediting, elaborate promotional campaigns, and staged educational prologues. Reworking and reframing within globalized historical trajectories transformed these national epics into transnational histories.","PeriodicalId":426632,"journal":{"name":"Film History: An International Journal","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129648470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But less discussed is the widespread effort on the part of US art museums to exhibit avant-garde and independent film as a visual art form, as in MoMA's Cineprobe or the Whitney Museum's New American Filmmakers Series. Curator Sally Dixon contributed to this movement through her influential Film Section (1970–2003) at the Museum of Art, Carnegie Institute, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In particular, Dixon's Independent Film Makers (IFM) Series was a monthly event that exhibited experimental films and in-person presentations by visiting artists, including Stan Brakhage, Tony Conrad, and Carolee Schneemann, among others. This article discusses how the Film Section and IFM Series exemplified broader institutional dynamics and global exchanges around 1970s experimental media arts. It examines the notion of the media arts center as a wider rubric that facilitated public funds and infrastructural support for filmmakers based in the art museum and other venues. It also considers the practical challenges and conceptual implications of film presentations in the museum space, and how film was transformed by its comparison to fine art through Dixon's theories of the independent filmmaker as an artisan creating handmade cinema.","PeriodicalId":426632,"journal":{"name":"Film History: An International Journal","volume":"12 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122350736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although it has an important Jewish character—a boy who survived the war by hiding his identity—the heart of the film centers on a non-Jewish child. However, the film's explicitly Jewish material is only the most visible aspect of its interest in Jewish children and the Holocaust. To a large extent, the film's efforts to address the Holocaust are submerged—or, more accurately, became submerged over the course of its production. Drawing on a rich body of sources, this essay revisits The Search's treatment of the Holocaust, examining how the film openly addresses the murder of European Jewry and how it elides and suppresses this history.","PeriodicalId":426632,"journal":{"name":"Film History: An International Journal","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133576673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Engaging the underexplored resource of student newspapers, the authors document how Ed's Coed, a 35mm college-life romantic comedy, was produced by University of Oregon students working alongside a professional Hollywood second-unit cameraman. The resulting production history reveals the film crew's sophisticated approach to publicity, fund-raising, and cinematography that beneficially extends our understanding of the range of amateur local practices in the 1920s.","PeriodicalId":426632,"journal":{"name":"Film History: An International Journal","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123851762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
