This dissertation focuses on film co-productions of the East German film studio DEFA (Deutsche Film-Aktiengesellschaft) with East and West European partners. It revisits patterns of institutional and transnational collaboration during the Cold War in order to challenge the predominant cliché of the isolation of East European film industries. The project seeks to re-position East German cinema within evolving debates on European film, deriving its argument from archival research on production histories and contemporaneous press releases, as well as from correspondence and personal testimonials such as interviews with former East German and East European filmmakers. The discussion is structured around three categories that focus attention on the interplay between the East German studio’s co-production agenda and state-imposed film policy: cultural prestige, popular entertainment, and international solidarity. I devote a chapter to each category in my study, and show how co-productions, as collective enterprises at the intersection of national cinemas, allowed DEFA to compete for internationally renowned film stars and to re-appropriate Hollywood genres by forming multinational film collectives and sharing sets, talent, and production costs, while simultaneously negotiating complex economic, political, and market conditions in each host country. This project moves beyond previous approaches to East German film as European cinema’s ‘other.’ DEFA co-productions provide a privileged route into the examination of socialist film production as a state-controlled and ideologically compliant cultural domain, and, at the same time, as a venue for artistic collaborations that challenged the limitations of state censorship and sponsorship. Undoubtedly, East German and East European films were influenced by international developments and responded to them. Focusing on DEFA as a case study, I shed light on the negotiation of cultural policies not only within a discrete film studio, but also among the various institutions involved in filmmaking in Eastern Europe. / text

Without consciousness we become victim instead of actors- even if it is only a question of acting victims. And in the make belief of our lives, the audience is self (Fugard in Frank 2004: 53). The primary concern of this study is the comparison of video interpretations of Athol Fugard with their adaptations as visual texts. It has been argued that 'the playwright's creative labour ends with the completion of the script' (Kidnie 2009: 15).Therefore, amongst other issues this dissertation will explore the politics of production at play during adaptation from printed version to screenplays. My assumption is that a comparison between the printed texts and video versions will add to the understanding of the effectiveness of Fugard's dramatic techniques and comprehension of literary texts; images are easy to decipher by inexperienced interpreters if guided. For the purpose of my presentation I adapt the reader response theoretical position of Stanley Fish based on a comparison that will be explored in terms of my own response to both the written text and visual texts, and in line with other responsed to the play. / English Studies / M.A.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Ramos_Luciano_D.pdf: 19973950 bytes, checksum: 99e0ecf0f122e3ef9cf74f5702ced618 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014 / Resumo: Esta tese consiste num levantamento acerca da história da produção e da comercialização de filmes de entretenimento em São Paulo, tomada como vertente específica da história do cinema brasileiro e elegendo como protagonista, ou eixo central da narrativa a trajetória de Oswaldo Massaini e das empresas às quais ele esteve vinculado: a Cinédia e, principalmente, a Cinedistri. Foi ele o produtor de O Pagador de Promessas em 1962, o único filme brasileiro a ser agraciado, até hoje, com a Palma de Ouro do Festival de Cannes. O período abordado se inicia nos anos de 1930, com a origem da Cinédia onde Oswaldo Massaini ingressou, em 1943, e termina com a sucessão da Cinedistri pela Cinearte na década de 1980. Mas avança no tempo um pouco mais, porque Massaini deixou sucessores ainda em atividade. Focalizando em detalhe suas estruturas de produção, esta pesquisa procura conhecer melhor os meandros e a lógica dessa trajetória empresarial comprometida com a produção e a distribuição de filmes unicamente brasileiros, marcada por uma continuada estabilidade ao longo de quase meio século / Abstract: This thesis consists of a survey on the history of the production and marketing of filmed entertainment in Sao Paulo, taken as a specific aspect of the history of Brazilian cinema and electing as the protagonist, or central axis of the narrative the trajectory of Oswaldo Massaini and the firms to which he was bound: the Cinédia and especially the Cinedistri. He was the producer of "O Pagador de Promessas" in 1962, the only Brazilian film to be awarded, to this date, with the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. The period covered begins in the 1930s, with the presence of Oswaldo Massaini at the Cinédia, which began in 1937 and ends with the succession of the Cinedistri to Cinearte in the 1980s. But advances in time a bit longer, because Massaini left successors still active. Focusing in detail their production structures, this research seeks to better understand the intricacies and logic that committed to the production and distribution business history of only Brazilian films, marked by a continued stability, during over nearly half a century / Doutorado / Multimeios / Doutor em Multimeios

To supplement student recruiting efforts, the Office of Admissions and Records, North Texas State University (rSU), funded a color sound promotional film, North Texas Now (NTi), describing academic and nonacademic services and activities of NTSU and its surrounding area. NT uses fast-paced montage and contemporary music, and for contrast and historic perspective, it opens and closes with sepia photographs depicting the early days of NTSU. An accompanying production book describes the making of NTN, examines the background against which NT2 was proposed, describes problems and procedures of production, analyzes the film, and offers recommendations for other university film productions,

The purpose of this research was to gather information about the production, marketing and distribution of Zambian contemporary music by Zambian musicians. Very little information has been documented about the development of the Zambian music industry, particularly from the perspective of those within the industry. As a result this study attempted to add to this knowledge. To achieve this Pierre Bourdieu’s theoretical concepts of ‘fields’ and ‘habitus’ were used to gain an understanding of what affects the creation of art forms such as music as well as the structures and underlying processes within the music industry. The concept of ‘fields’ usefully framed an explanation of the struggles and connections within the various fields in the industry and a view of the Zambian music industry in relation to the international industry. To gather the data necessary for this research a qualitative approach was utilised involving semistructured in-depth questionnaires from twenty-three interviewees. These interviewees were selected from various sectors of the music industry in an attempt to gain a holistic perspective of the industry in the 21st century. There were four subgroups: the artists (singers, rappers and instrumentalists), managers, radio DJs, and a miscellaneous group made up of the remaining participants, a Sounds Arcade manager, a music journalist, the National Arts Council Chairperson, a Zambia Music Copyright Protection Society (ZAMCOPS) administrator, and the then President of the Zambia Association of Musicians (ZAM). With the limited exposure to formal musical, instrumental and production training, musicians, instrumentalists, managers and studio production personnel interviewed had had to learn their craft on-the-job. This limited knowledge appears to add to the hindrance of the development of careers and the industry, particularly in terms of how to register and distribute music correctly to earn royalties and protect their intellectual property against piracy. From an institutional level piracy is being addressed more forcefully with the introduction of holograms and the tightening of policies and structures to do with the music industry.
