Iranian film has in recent decades comprised an increasingly important and influential cinema. The Iranian Islamic Revolution of 1979 paved the way for freedom of artistic and literary expression, communicating a new generation of unheard voices in Iranian society. More specifically Iranian cinema has progressed in maintaining an identity that reflects both a contemporary nation and auteuristic cinematics. Abbas Kiarostami is one of the more recent and leading film directors rewarded with critical and filmmaking acclaim out of Iran, producing contemporary snapshots of society and culture. His filmmaking methods and ideals are very much reflective of the style of post Second World War Italian Neorealism. In context and filmmaking principles Kiarostami adapts the conventions of Neorealism in exploring contemporary Iranian socio-cultural problems in a similar manner. This project aims to explore the relationship between the style and context of his filmmaking in terms of mise-en-scène, themes and socio-cultural concerns. It shows how Kiarostami creates a distinctive form of Neorealist filmmaking to get at the ‘truths’ of contemporary Iranian life in a particular way. In doing so an emergent strand of a modern-Neorealism becomes apparent.

The relation between architecture and cinema has begun with the first steps of the technology of moving images at the beginning of the 20th century and it has continued progressively until now by importing various intellectual, representational, and practical devices from each other in order to reconfigure their own systems of knowledge. In this investigation, the fundamental elements of architectural design and principles of their organization are used in the field of cinema as a methodological tool to analyze the compositional features of narrative, mise-en scene and editing/montage. First of all, the end products of both domains are conceived as a form of composition, and in this respect, the compatibility of their design dynamics is examined. Secondly, the fundamental design elements and principles of both architecture and cinema are defined. Finally, in order to redefine the design process of a film and to reveal the existence of fundamental principles of architectural design in the process of filmmaking, a comprehensive and comparative analysis is made between the two fields.

The Costume Museum of Canada (CMC) is the first of its kind in Canada. It works as a comprehensive repository where Canadian clothing and textile artifacts are collected, preserved, and presented. Traveling exhibits are important to the CMC to present the collection to a wider audience; however, the CMC’s financial limitations restrict how they can support traveling exhibitions. This practicum project addresses the desire of the museum for a facility to stage traveling exhibits by the design of a Traveling Exhibition System (TES) for the CMC. The practicum explores the concepts of cultural communication, narratology and mise-en-scene. It will facilitate Canadian cultural education through the exhibition of CMC’s vast collection of costumes and related accessories in a cost effective and sustainable manner. TES will be an exhibit system that can be set up within existing buildings and spaces. The project offers the possibility for the CMC to generate revenue and to facilitate dissemination of Canadian fashion culture and history regionally and nationally.

Vår samtid genomgår stora förändring i allt från digitalisering till klimatpåverkan och ett resultat av detta är vår längtan efter att få uppleva och ta del av innehåll som påminner oss om en svunnen tid. Nostalgiska inslag finns i många delar av vårt samhälle och denna uppsats undersöker hur ett tidigare decennium representeras i en samtida medieprodukt och bidrar till en nostalgisk upplevelse. Idag finns det en förkärlek till en 80-talsnostalgi vilket blir synligt i många nyproducerade filmer och serier. I uppsatsen analyseras hur man i serien Sex Education (2019-2020) har valt att representera 80-talet i en samtida kontext för att skapa en nostalgisk effekt hos mottagaren. Vidare blir effekten av att blanda ett nostalgiskt grepp (nostalgisk mise-en-scene, musik och genrerefenser) med ett nutidsgrepp (den moderna gestaltningen av tematiken) att dessa kontraster skapar en friktion som väcker tittarens intresse. I uppsatsen tillämpas kvalitativ filmanalys, baserad på en kategoriserande modell, på estetik och tematik i serien Sex Education. Syftet är påvisa seriens nostalgiska inslag och belysa hur de skapas. / Our present time is experiencing a major change in everything from digitalisation to climate change, and one result of this is our longing to experience and share content that reminds us of another time. Nostalgic elements can be seen in many parts of our society and this essay examines how a past decade is represented in a modern media product and the nostalgic experience it generates. Today, there is a love for '80s nostalgia, which becomes visible in many newly produced films and series. The thesis is based on analyzing how the series Sex Education (2019-2020) has chosen to represent the 80s in a contemporary context to create a nostalgic effect on the recipient. Furthermore, the effect of mixing a nostalgic grip (nostalgic mise-en-scene, music and genre references) with a contemporary grip (the modern form of the theme) is that it creates contrasts which causes a friction that arouses the viewer's interest. The thesis applies qualitative film analysis, based on a categorizing model, to aesthetics and themes in the series Sex Education. The purpose is to demonstrate the series' nostalgic features and highlight how they are created.

Ce mémoire de maîtrise étudie la mise en scène de la folie des femmes au cinéma. Notre hypothèse est qu’il est possible d’appréhender la folie en tant que forme esthétique et ainsi, d’isoler un répertoire de figures essentielles à la mise en scène et à la mise en jeu des corps féminins. En partant d’une définition « fuyante » de la folie, il s’agit de dégager la folle de la pathologie et d’examiner plutôt comment les images peuvent se faire écho et rejouer dans l’Histoire une série de « procédés figuratifs » à l’écran. Nous nous intéressons d’abord au grand bassin imaginaire dans lequel se construit l’iconographie de la folie des femmes au cinéma. Nous montrons ainsi comment la mémoire visuelle de la folie est tirée de tous les côtés par un réseau d’images plus anciennes et soulignons l’importance du spectaculaire dans ce bassin esthétique. Ensuite, nous étudions le mouvement des corps fous au cinéma. Nous démontrons comment la mise en scène de la folie donne accès à un répertoire de formes d’expressions reconnaissables : syncope, rire hystérique, jouissance, chutes, redressements, tics, contractures, etc. Finalement, en nous appuyant sur les notions d’emprunt et de contagion, nous démontrons l’importance du geste dans la compréhension des corps délirants au cinéma. / This thesis examines the mise en scène of female madness in film. We believe that it is possible to understand madness as an aesthetic form and thus isolate a repertoire of figures essential to the interpretation and performance of female bodies. Beginning with an “elusive” definition of madness, we can conceptualize it outside of the pathology and consider instead how the images can be reflected in History and replay a series of "representational processes" on the screen. Firstly, we are interested in the great repertoire in which imagination builds the iconography of female madness in film. We show how a network of older images influences from different angles the visual memory of insanity and we stress the importance of the “spectacular” aspect of this iconography. Secondly, we study the motion of bodies in chosen films. We demonstrate how the mise en scène of madness gives access to a repertoire of recognizable forms of expression: syncope, hysterical laughter, ecstasy, falls, tics, contractures, etc. Finally, based on the concepts of mimesis and contagion, we demonstrate the importance of gesture in understanding madness in film.
