Abstract:

This thesis is in two parts: a theoretical section (60%), which provides an analysis of gender identity in Surrealist film through consideration of a range of Surrealist films; and a practical section (40%), consisting of a body of original creative work (collage, film and assemblage), which builds on and is in dialogue with the theoretical insights of the research. Transformation is seen as central to a mapping and remapping of the spaces, (supposed) limits and frontiers of Surrealist notions of gender identity. In particular this thesis examines how Surrealist film makers engage with represe

Abstract:

Includes bibliograpical references.<br>This dissertation investigates the filmic representation of surrealism in the films of Jan Švankmajer between 1964 and 2010. These films were analysed in light of two key areas expressed in recent literature regarding the representation of surrealism in film. The first key area is the complicated relationship between surrealism, film, and fantasy film, which has resulted in misconceptions about surrealism and its relationship with reality. This was examined with regard to the misconception of surrealism equating to fantasy and escapism. The second key ar

Abstract:

This thesis explores the idea of Surrealism in relation to British films. Films often classified as Realism, Gothic, Satire or Artists’ Film and Video are revealed to contain substantial collective themes and techniques when looked at through the lens of Surrealism, while films that have not previously been associated with Surrealism are found to be significant. Detailed case studies of Neil Jordan’s The Company of Wolves (1984) and Mona Lisa (1986) reveal that these two films embody these themes and techniques and straddle the perceived polarity of realism and fantasy in British film.

Abstract:

Photomontage has more to do with film than with any other art form - they have in common the technique of montage. (Sergei Tretyakov) By considering that photomontage and film use the technique of cutting and gluing as dominant artistic device, and that montage, a technique unifying art and technology for the first time, emerged as a dominant artistic feature of the avantgarde, this thesis will explore the ideological and perceptual implications of its advent in avant-garde art and film. The technological advances of the beginning of the twentieth century, and particularly the advent of photog

Abstract:

This thesis examines the films of Humphrey Jennings, exploring his work in relation to surrealism. This examination provides an overview of how surrealism’s set of ideas is manifest in Jennings’s documentary film work. The thesis does not assert that his films are surrealist texts or that there is such a thing as a surrealist film; rather it explores how his films, produced in Britain in the period from 1936 to 1950, have a dialectical relationship with surrealism. The thesis first considers Jennings’s work in relation to documentary theory, outlining how and why he is considered a significant

Abstract:

Although the work of the Czech surrealist, Jan Svankmajer, is not overtly political, the films he made in the early part of his career earned the disapproval of the communist regime for their subtle critique of the social and psychological forces that exert repression on the individual. Svankmajer has stated that, since the revolution of 1989 that brought about the end of communism and heralded the arrival of a new political, social, and cultural freedom, his creative activity has been more than ever motivated by an exploration of ideas of freedom and manipulation.

Abstract:

Cette thèse se propose d’analyser les différents aspects de l'art de R. Magritte dans son interdisciplinarité. Le premier chapitre prend comme point de départ le versant philosophique et linguistique que l’on peut remarquer dans son œuvre, pour analyser de façon détaillée les aspects mimétiques et sémiotiques. L'utilisation que fait Magritte de certaines formes de la rhétorique rend évidente l'importance de l'aspect graphémique du mot, gouverné par le visible. La coïncidence entre les deux contraires (sémiosis et mimesis) laisse percevoir l'espace qui les sépare. D'un point de vue comparatiste

Abstract:

The Vietnam War has become an important symbol and signifier in contemporary American culture and politics. The word "Vietnam" contains many meanings and narratives, including both the real events of the American War in Vietnam and the fictional representations of that war. Because we live in a reality that is composed of both lived experience and simulacra, defined by Baudrillard as a hyperreality, fiction and simulation are capable of representing particular realities. Vietnam was shaped by simulacra of Vietnam itself as well as simulacra of previous American conflicts, especially World War

Abstract:

Cute As A Button explores powerlessness, vulnerability, illness and addiction all wrapped up in tender buttons and a cute, cuddly creature. Using animation, sculpture, sound and an intimate space, I surround the viewer in a saccharine nightmare, one that references the dark underbelly of the cute and the sweet. The visual and aural elements are representative of the psychological and emotional states of powerlessness, which are overcome by the act of making and exploring a medium over which I can have complete control.

Den surrealistiska thrillern I´m thinking of ending things av Charlie Kaufman hade premiär på Netflix hösten 2020. Långfilmens narrativ är en utspelad fantasi och innehåller flera inslag som framställs och kan betraktas som verklighetsfrånvända. Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka hur overkligheten framställs genom filmklippning och hur kamerapositionering används för att skapa ett fantasi-perspektiv. Klipp-metoder diskuterade av bland annat Bordwell och Thompson, Karen Pearlman och Walter Murch ligger till grund för en audiovisuell analys. Resultatet visar att några av valda sekvenser bryt

Cette thèse montre que le cinéma burlesque a joué un rôle dans l’émergence du surréalisme pendant les Années folles. Lorsque l’on relit les textes de cinéma des surréalistes en les associant aux films burlesques, tout en les mettant en perspective avec d’autres documents critiques et scénaristiques

Abstract:

The Quay Brothers’ films have often provoked some kind of discomfort in the viewers. There are various techniques that the Quay Brothers utilise which cause this feeling of discomfort. This study is premised on the argument that the feeling that we experience while watching their films can be analysed through Sigmund Freud’s understanding of the uncanny. The feeling of the uncanny is brought about by various Surrealist techniques utilised by the Quay Brothers. This study focuses on the films Rehearsals for Extinct Anatomies and Street of Crocodiles by the Quay Brothers. Both these films strong
