Esta pesquisa procura entender o trabalho do diretor cinematográfico brasileiro contemporâneo a partir da reconstrução do processo criativo de cinco longas-metragens realizados nos últimos anos e a compreensão das estratégias escolhidas pelos diretores para construir sua obra. Os filmes observados são: Antônia\" (Tata Amaral, 2006), Cama de Gato (Alexandre Stockler, 2002), O Magnata (Johnny Araujo, 2007), A Via Láctea (Lina Chamie, 2007) e Estômago (Marcos Jorge, 2007). Além disso, observamos também uma diária de filmagem de Amanhã Nunca Mais (Tadeu Jungle, em finalização) e o processo de realização do curta-metragem Gris (Iana Cossoy Paro, 2005), realizado em uma estrutura acadêmica controlada. É um estudo de Comunicação que considera o diretor como um agente que se relaciona com um processo que se desenvolve no espaço e no tempo, sofrendo influências de diversas origens: das questões sociais que detecta como de seu interesse na geração do projeto às condições materiais que consegue reunir para sua produção, passando por uma série de decisões sobre os seus métodos de trabalho para a construção da obra pretendida. Metodologicamente, optamos por utilizar-nos de instrumentos da Crítica do Processo, desenvolvidos por Cecília Salles (2006), para ler as obras como a construção no tempo de uma rede em movimento. Esse deslocamento libertou o trabalho da necessidade de centrar seus esforços sobre o filme terminado, como referência principal para análise da obra, propondo uma nova maneira de estudar a realização. / The aim of the research is to understand the work of the contemporary Brazilian film director through the reconstruction of the creative process of five feature films which were recently shot, and the strategies followed by the directors in order to build their works. The analysis focused on five films: Antônia\" (Tata Amaral, 2006), Cama de Gato (Alexandre Stockler, 2002), O Magnata (Johnny Araujo, 2007), A Via Láctea (Lina Chamie, 2007) e Estômago (Marcos Jorge, 2007). We also witnessed a day of shooting of the film Amanhã Nunca Mais (Tadeu Jungle, now in post production) and the making process of the short film Gris (Iana Cossoy Paro, 2005), shot in an academically controlled environment. This study on Communication regards the film director as an agent related to a process that evolves through time and space, with influences coming from diverse sources, from the social issues he considers of interest in the creation of the project to the material structure for the production, making decisions over the different working methods followed in the construction of the work. From a methodological point of view, we decided to apply concepts from Critica do Processo, developed by Cecília Salles (2006), in order to analyze the works as the construction of a moving net in time. This decision let our project free from the need of having to focus our analysis on the finished film as the main reference for the study, also suggesting a new way to study the process of filmmaking.

This comparative study is an investigation into the changing concerns of feature film policy in Canada and Australia from 1968 to 1998. Its purpose is to determine how similar policy initiatives have produced divergent results in two economically, culturally and socially similar nations. The inquiry's aim is to establish what financial, political and geographic variables affect the application of feature film policy. While resemblances between these nations justify the contrasting of comparable feature film policy initiatives, differences in outcomes suggest that these nations are not entirely alike. Therefore, rather than following the leads of comparable national agencies, film policy makers in Canada and Australia need to concentrate on conditions specific to their own particular situation.

<p>This thesis is a study of documentaries about fictional feature films. The development of the DVD format has contributed strongly to their massive increase in quantity. The capacity of the format enables film companies to include more material than the feature film itself. As some people regard this type of documentary as self-righteous and presumtious, others think of it as a great educational aid giving the audience a greater understanding of the intentions of the director and others involved, thus adding more levels to the experience of watching movies. By using established theory on documentary I’m trying to find distinctive features of ‘documentary on fiction’.</p> / <p>I uppsatsen studeras dokumentärfilmer som behandlar spelfilmer. Det är en företeelse som växt starkt i och med lanseringen av det nya videoformatet DVD. Formatets kapacitet har möjliggjort att man kunnat inkludera mer material än bara själva filmen. Idag är det nästan självklart att man på något sätt dokumenterar arbetet med en film, men man gör det på många olika sätt och med olika syften. Det finns många åsikter om denna typ av dokumentär. Vissa röster hävdar att de endast kan vara självförhärligande och partiska, medan andra anser att de ger fiktionsfilmer ett större djup och tittaren en ökad respekt och förståelse för verket. </p><p>Jag vill med min undersökning hitta kännetecken för dokumentärfilmer om fiktionsfilmer och detta gör jag med hjälp av etablerad dokumentärfilmsteori. Genom analysen diskuterar jag bland annat filmernas funktion, problematik och relation till fiktionsfilmen. </p>

This dissertation addresses the breakthrough of the multi-reel feature film in the United States, and the significance of this process within the wider context of the American film industry and culture in the 1910s. The purpose is to provide a new, and more comprehensive analytical framing of the topic, and to enhance our understanding of how a new central commodity, i.e. the multi-reel feature film, changed the conditions for film exhibition and reception. The introduction links the breakthrough of the multi-reel feature film to an array of film-historical transformations unfolding in the US around the same time. A critical assessment of previous scholarly work dealing with the early feature is also provided. Part I analyzes how the breakthrough of the multi-reel feature film was negotiated within the trade and by contemporary commentators. The result is a multi-perspective framing of the topic that highlights the complexity of these cultural negotiations and the uncertainty over cinema’s possible futures. Part II shifts attention to film culture and film exhibition in Philadelphia around 1914. The objective of this case study, largely based on newspaper sources, is to examine how the increasingly common multi-reel feature film was integrated into and/or changed the existing film culture in the city. The main conclusion is that experimentation and diversity rather than smooth transitions characterized the local response to the emergence of features. Part III deepens the investigation of local diversity by offering a case study of one particular film: The Spoilers (Selig Polyscope Co., 1914). The conditions of the film’s historical reception are outlined, and particular attention is given to the film’s role in the Americanization of the feature film market.

The production of the independent, digital feature film titled Mosaic was performed on a very low budget. The design and implementation of the post-production of the film required consideration of budgetary constraints, and solutions to these constraints that would still allow the creative freedom of the editor and the director. The technical design was based around digital filmmaking technology. The choice of this technology influenced how the editor was able to address aesthetic and technical challenges.

Esta investigación tiene por objetivo, identificar los elementos de carácter socio cultural que formaron parte del Conflicto Armado Interno (CAI) en el Perú que se logran representar como elementos socioculturales audiovisuales en el Cine Peruano. Especialmente en el caso de los largometrajes: La Boca del Lobo (1988) y Paloma de Papel (2003). El supuesto que se formuló es que el Cine Peruano utiliza el contexto sociocultural del país para la producción de material audiovisual cinematográfico y en este caso se analizó desde la situación de Conflicto Armado Interno en el Perú, considerando dos largometrajes: La boca del Lobo, estrenada en el año 1988 dirigida por Francisco Lombardi y Paloma de Papel de Fabrizio Aguilar, estrenada en el año 2003. En el transcurso del trabajo de investigación se analiza cómo lo ocurrido en el año 1980 al año 2000 en el Perú marcó un hito en la historia del país, así como en la sociedad, que vivió dichos sucesos, sembrando zozobra, miedo y terror en ellos, incluso lo que también afectó y se vio reflejado en las producciones audiovisuales nacionales. En el trabajo de campo se analizó cómo este tipo de largometrajes hacen uso de elementos del contexto sociocultural de la época; como lo es el Conflicto Armado Interno, recreando la realidad de esa época histórica, en algunos productos audiovisuales nacionales como los largometrajes. Por tanto, a lo largo de estas páginas se evidenciará cómo el cine peruano si hace uso del contexto sociocultural en sus historias y lo replica a través de elementos socioculturales audiovisuales, centrándose en el caso de las películas propuestas: La boca del Lobo y Paloma de Papel. / The purpose of this research is to identify the elements of a socio-cultural nature that were part of the internal armed struggle in Peru, that are evidenced in sociocultural audiovisual elements in the Peruvian Cinema, especially in the cases of the feature films: La Boca del Lobo (1988) and Paloma de Papel (2003). The assumptions that were formulated is that the Peruvian Cinema uses the sociocultural context of the country for the production of cinematographic audiovisual material and this case was analyzed from the situation of the Internal Armed conflict in Peru, considering two feature films: La Boca del Lobo, released in in 1988 directed by Francisco Lombardi and Paloma de Papel by Fabrizio Aguilar, released in 2003. In the course of the research work, it is analyzed, how what happened in the year 1980 and 2000 in Peru marked a milestone in the history of the country, as well as in the society that lived through these events, sowing anxiety, fear and terror in them, even reducing audience attendance at the cinema. In the field work, it was analyzed, how this type of feature films makes use of elements from the sociocultural context of the time; as is the internal armed conflict, recreating the reality of that historical period, in some national audiovisual products such as feature films. Therefore, throughout these pages it will be evident how Peruvian cinema does make use of the sociocultural context in its stories and more in the case of the proposed films: La Boca del Lobo and Paloma de Papel. / Tesis
