Anita: The Story of a Bad Film : The cultural life of Torgny Wickman’s 1973 sex film

Carter, Jason January 2023 (has links)
Anita  (Torgny Wickman 1973) is a typical example of a film produced as part of a wave of Swedish softcore sex films created with an eye on the substantial overseas profits to be made in market curious to witness onscreen Swedish Sin.  Following an extremely brief and limited release in Sweden the film disappeared from popular cultural perception until resurfacing in the late 1990s as an object of nostalgic cult curiosity.  Taking cues from New Cinema History disciplinary methods, cult theory and touching on theories of the dispositif, this thesis maps the manner in which Anita is popularly and academically regarded as a text throughout differently delineated eras of its lifespan. By drawing on its appearance in film listings, popular press, national press and fanzines, and through its various releases and restoration this work builds to an understanding of how uses of this text move from populist via nostalgia through cult to historical canon, and the way in which these uses offer new perspectives on Swedish film history.

L'invention de la restauration des films / The Invention of Film Restoration

Frappat, Marie 02 December 2015 (has links)
Le terme de « restauration » n’a pas toujours été en usage dans le domaine du cinéma. Cette thèse de doctorat retrace la généalogie de la notion de restauration et l’histoire des pratiques d’intervention sur les films anciens, depuis les premières campagnes de réhabilitation critique et historiographique dans les années 1920 jusqu’à la généralisation du terme dans les années 1980 autour des quatre-vingt-dix ans du cinéma. Ces pratiques de réparation, de rénovation, de tirage, de sauvegarde, de compilation, de réédition, de sonorisation, de reconstitution, de reconstruction sont partagées entre une quête de l’original et une nécessaire adaptation à un nouveau contexte, culturel et technologique. Locales comme internationales, elles se trouvent au croisement de nombreux discours, institutionnel, politique, critique, et mobilisent différents acteurs, techniciens, archivistes, conservateurs, producteurs, distributeurs, réalisateurs, historiens et bientôt restaurateurs de films. Techniques autant qu’éditoriales, elles sont au cœur de l’histoire du cinéma et de sa matière. Dernière étape du processus de légitimation du septième art, la restauration des films crée des œuvres qui visent à être protégées ainsi que réinterprétées dans leur matérialité pour être présentées devant un nouveau public. / The word “restoration” has not always been applied to film. This Ph.D. traces back the origins of that notion and the evolution of curatorial practices dealing with old films, starting with the first critic and historiographic rehabilitation campaigns in the 1920ies and ending when the word “restoration” is commonly accepted in the 1980ies at the time of the celebration of the ninetieth birthday of cinema. These practices – repairing, renovating, duplicating, preserving, compiling, reediting, creating sound versions, reconstituting, reconstructing – rely on two contradictory urges: a quest for the original, and a necessary adaptation to a new cultural and technological background. Both local and international, these practices stand at the crossing between numerous types of discourses (such as institutional, political, critical discourses) and they are due to different kinds of people (technicians, archivists, curators, producers, distributors, film directors, historians, and in later days film restorers). Technical as well as editorial, these practices are at the heart of film history. Film restoration may be the last step in the legitimizing process of cinema as an art form. It produces works of art that aim to be protected and materially reinterpreted so that they can be presented to a new audience.
