in the years after, a series of personal and health difficulties thwarted o’connell’s efforts at further filmmaking, and even his efforts in the 1990s at remarketing revolution ran into unexpected complications, when the owners of the 1985 feature film revolution (starring al pacino, et al) threatened legal action over the use of the title, so he had to reissue it as the hippie revolution. ~ bruce eder, rovi

jack o’connell spent the summer of 1969 in denmark. his san francisco feature, revolution, fared well at the danish box office. the scandinavian easygoing manners, the freshly - green landscapes and the particular cool - yet - hot appeal of haute couture model birthe tove tempted o’connell to make a film there and then. he approached laterna film’s open - minded mogens skot - hansen, a production team was set up, the film was shot; then nothing was heard or seen about it till fest time cannes 1971 with christa posters everywhere .
the film was inspired in part by peter duncan' s grandfather, who was a long - standing member of the communist party. he wrote the script to help him get into the australian film television and radio school and showed it to tristram miall after he graduated; the producer loved it and decided to turn it into a film .
the film’s final, affecting scene, capturing its atmosphere of emotional ambiguity, shows jo lighting a cheerless sparkler on guy fawkes day, while the soundtrack features a children’s chorus singing a winsome british sailing song. it’s the same song we have heard at the beginning of the film when jo and her mother had escaped the landlord of a grotty bedsit by climbing out the apartment window, suitcases in hand, and hopping on a bus. now, at the end of the film, the song reminds us that jo is still very much the same lost child, but now with very different circumstances. now, at the end, we watch along with jo, mesmerized, as the cold flame of the sparkler burns down .
its fiftieth anniversary offers an occasion to challenge some of the commonplaces about the film and to show that there remains much to be clarified about its character. an attention to location in the film and a focus on its little - discussed coda can resituate battle as a film that, going beyond its well - recognized revolutionary narrative, deals with the end of the french empire and represents the first in a line of banlieue cinema—that is, as a film that presciently anticipates postcolonial conditions on the territory of france itself .

“children of the revolution” is the first film by writer - director peter duncan (whose own father was reportedly a lifelong stalin supporter). it is enormously ambitious - - maybe too much so, since it ranges so widely between styles and strategies that it distracts from its own flow. it is specifically australian in a lot of its material (the communist party there was more mainstream and labor - oriented and thus respectable than it ever was in the united states), and american audiences, i think, will tend to view it more from the outside, as a curiosity, rather than as a film that speaks to them directly .
adam elliot, is an award winning and critically acclaimed independent filmmaker. his five animated films, or' clayographies' have been shown in more than 500 film festivals and received over one hundred awards, including five afi awards. in 2004 harvie krumpet won the academy award for best animated short film and in 2009 adam' s full length film mary and max was invited to open the sundance film festival - the first australian and first animated film to ever do so .
yet, to imagine an america in which the hippies didn’t materialize is to imagine it’s a wonderful life’s pottersville with more guns and police, a place in which the vision the hippies once supplied didn’t counter the triumph of repression and conformity. o’connell’s documentary doesn’t suggest this, but he had the presence of mind just to let the camera run and capture the endless parade down haight street in 1967. it is in these scenes that the pricelessness of the hippie revolution is revealed. the hippie revolution (unrated; 93 min .), a documentary by jack o’connell .

the mission school at umtali is a british protestant mission (therefore probably church of england or anglican), and the school is primarily for black african children, although some of the white missionary - teachers children, like nyaradzo, also attend; babamukuru is the headmaster of the primary levels and maiguru also teaches there. this is the school that first nhamo, then tambu attends, as well as nyasha.

peter duncan’s originality is marvellous, but i wish he could have stretched it just one more degree, and injected the bravura of his first idea into the second half of the film, where the son of stalin struts the screen. here, a bold, even bizarre lunge is needed to sustain the high flying act one. the film delivers chunks of entertainment, though, and looks expensive .

benjamin' s writings on film are justly renowned for their twin theses of the transformation of the concept of art by its ‘technical reproducibility’ and the new possibilities for collective experience this contains, in the wake of the historical decline of the ‘aura’ of the work of art, a process that film is presented as definitively concluding. much ink has been spilt debating the thesis of the decline of the aura in benjamin' s work. on the one hand, with regard to some of his writings, benjamin' s concept of aura has been accused of fostering a nostalgic, purely negative sense of modernity as loss—loss of unity both with nature and in community (a. benjamin 1989). on the other hand, in the work on film, benjamin appears to adopt an affirmative technological modernism, which celebrates the consequences of the decline. adorno, for one, felt betrayed by the latter position. he wrote to benjamin on 18 march 1936 :
the realism of the film is an aspect of this address. famously, pontecorvo and cinematographer marcello gatti chose to employ a deliberately degraded black and white film stock that so convincingly recalls newsreel photography that the american distributor had to add a title stating that “not one foot of newsreel or documentary film has been used. ” 12 the mimicry of documentary footage was designed to give the impression of viewing evidence, of witnessing events as they occur, just as the use of unknown faces, “nonprofessionals, ” was intended to give an impression of authenticity. as nancy virtue recalls, “in debates over historical accuracy the battle of algiers has alternately been praised for its realistic depiction of historical events and taken to task for departing from, omitting or distorting historical fact. ” 13 the realism is part of the film’s rhetoric, an aspect of its emotive power and the vehicle of its historical argument; yet this documentary realism has often been presented instead as a “value” that the film itself has sometimes been criticized for failing to sustain .

far more interesting than the interviews is the scene in which o’connell’s camera races around a roomful of trippers–and one dozing tabby–to sum up the fleeting moods of an lsd trip. the more conventional images of psychedelia show up as well: the treated film stock, the light shows and the naked girl bouncing through the daisies (the “where’s waldo” of these hippie documentaries) .

here, the first thing to notice is what is not provided. the edifice shown in these images is the 200 columns building, but what might seem an irresistible image of the 200 columns from above, or even of its famous courtyard, is not included. the film refuses the aerial shot that would express the monumentality envisaged by pouillon and refuses an overview like that which establishes the opposition between european city and casbah early in the film. the scenes play out, instead, at and near the bottom of the massive flight of steps at the eastern corner of the building. the camera looks up at the fortress - like exterior walls of the 200 columns (rather than down on the massive steps teeming with demonstrators). 40
27. most commentators erroneously speak of the coda events occurring two years after the death of the fln leader ali la pointe that ends the main body of the film, but ali was actually killed in october 1957 and the coda takes place in 1960. battle opens with an onscreen title with the place and year “alger 1957” and circles back to this date via the long flashback that constitutes the bulk of the film. the historical protests shown in the coda took place in response to rallies by pro - french hardliners against the visit of the french president charles de gaulle to algeria in december 1960. in the previous month, de gaulle had stated in a televised speech that an algerian republic would “one day exist” and with its own government. interestingly, the film omits this context .

watching the hippie revolution in an almost - empty movie theater was a thrill. i felt that i was recreating chuck heston’s big scene from the omega man, where he sits in a theater bitterly watching woodstock as the world goes to hell outside. jack o’connell’s 1968 documentary– newly revived and updated with some modern reminiscences–details the summer of love in 1967, without chronology or identification of the participants .

porter' s film was a milestone in film - making for its storyboarding of the script, the first use of title cards, an ellipsis, and a panning shot, and for its cross - cutting editing techniques. one of its stars with multiple roles, gilbert m. anderson (max aronson), later took the name

12. i have not seen a copy of the film with this title intact, but it is recorded in a contemporary review by maurice rapf entitled “high drama in a history restaged, ” life magazine, october 27, 1967. for the often - retold story of how the film stock was treated in order to achieve the newsreel effect, see irena bignardi, “the making of the battle of algiers, ” cineaste 25: 2 (2000): 14–22, on 19–20 .
, first run features must be congratulated not only for the excellent transfer (the colors especially, with the richly saturated blacks of the chadors, the brightly colored foods, and the red - tinged imagers, are exactly as i remember them when i saw a pristine 35mm print of the film), but for being the first north american company to distribute a film by mehrjui. let’s hope that other companies follow suit, or indeed that first run release one of his many other important works .
the experimental method of montage, borrowed from surrealism, was to be the means of production of historical intelligibility. furthermore, the ‘static’ temporality of the image was understood to connect such an experience of historical meaning, directly, to a radical or ‘revolutionary’ concept of action, associated with the idea of the present as crisis. the passage above continues :
angus sampson' s work spans film, theatre and television. his film credits include: insidious and insidious: chapter two, where the wild things are, legend of the guardians: the owls of ga' hoole, kokoda and 100 bloody acres, in which angus was nominated for best supporting actor at the aactas. angus produced, co - wrote and directed the feature film the mule, co - starring alongside hugo weaving. his television credits include fargo, spirited, party tricks, paper giants: magazine wars and thank god you’re here .
57. the images of the dancing women that close battle recall eugène delacroix’s picturing of marianne in the 1830 painting “liberty leading the people, ” as well as the running pina, the female protagonist of rome open city, in her famous death scene in rosselini’s film. plainly, the realistic register of battle is discarded for a traditional symbolism in these closing scenes, even as the resemblance to newsreel is retained in the coarse editing, use of long lens, and grainy film stock. (pontecorvo himself worried about the breaking of the realistic illusion; see solinas, gillo pontecorvo’s “ the battle of algiers, ” 174 .) but the images also recall sensual orientalist imagery, for example paintings of harem dancers by the italian orientalist painter giulio rosati, and the dancers’ play with flags and veils recalls orientalist portrayals of salomé .
30. the casbah is heard, though, with chanting and the ululation sounds made by algerian women emerging from it. as many have noticed, the aural dimension of the film carries a powerful charge. the protest sequences, especially those i discuss that take place at climat de france, feature an echoey, “distressed” sound quality (as if recorded with rudimentary equipment) that is of a piece with the high contrast film stock and use of telephoto lenses .
fred schepisi directed his first feature - length film, the devil' s playground, in 1976, winning 6 afi awards including best film. following the success of the chant of jimmie blacksmith, fred directed barbarosa, iceman, plenty and roxanne in the us before returning to australia to co - write and direct evil angels. fred' s other film credits include: six degrees of separation, the russia house, mr. baseball, iq, fierce creatures, last orders, it runs in the family, the eye of the storm and words & pictures. fred gained an emmy nomination for best director and won a golden globe for the mini - series empire falls .
the political consequence of the temporal naturalism underlying the idea of ‘progress’ is conformism. for benjamin, paradoxically, this applied in particular to the german social democrats' understanding of communism as an ideal, in the neo - kantian ethical sense of the object of an ‘endless task’ :
the first technology really sought to master nature, whereas the second aims rather at an interplay between nature and humanity. the primary social function of art today is to rehearse that interplay. this applies especially to film .
sarah snook graduated from nida in 2008, going on to perform award - winning roles in not suitable for children, sisters of war and predestination, in which she starred alongside ethan hawke. sarah' s other credits include the tv mini - series the beautiful lie and the secret river, and films these final hours, oddball, holding the man, steve jobs and the dressmaker, which has gone on to become one of the highest grossing films of all time at the australian box office .

the turin archive’s press release asserted that battle was made “using actual casbah locations” and scholarship has tended to follow its line, emphasizing the representation of the casbah to the exclusion of other spaces in the film. scholars have eagerly invested in the casbah as the authentic space of indigeneity and resistance, a correspondence encouraged in battle itself as a dichotomy between european city and casbah, expressed in a pan - and - zoom shot six minutes into the film. even guy austin confidently asserts that battle is “set in the casbah of algiers. ” 21 this is not wrong, but it is insufficient: battle is not set only in the casbah. indeed, drawings included with the original press release render scenes from the film set neither in the casbah nor in the so - called european city but rather in a new housing project, the climat de france, on the periphery of the city .
kokkinos has also taught extensively at the australian film, television and radio school and rmit. she conducts ongoing masterclasses for professional actors and lectures in the school of culture and communication at melbourne university .
the western was among the first film genres, growing in status alongside the development of hollywood' s studio production system. there were only a few great silent westerns, although the best ones established some of the archetypes that are part of the genre even today. the earliest westerns (silent films without the sound of gunfire, horse' s hoofbeats, and the cattle trail) are gems of american history. a few of the earliest western - like films were two shorts from thomas edison' s manufacturing company :

this particular piece of journalism had earned truffaut a solicitor’s letter from the director – one of the most prominent and successful figures in the french cinema of the day. never a man to grovel or eat his words, truffaut further ridiculed the film in his 1957 short les mistons (the brats). spotting a poster that advertises chiens perdus sans collier, the anarchic and half - wild urchins of the title gleefully tear it from the wall .

almost all the essential elements or conventions of typical westerns were included: good guys vs. bad guys, a robbery or wrong - doing, a chase or pursuit, and a final showdown, all in a natural setting. the film ended (or began) with a stunning close - up (the first !) of a gunman (george barnes) firing directly into the camera - and audience. it was the most commercially successful film of the pre - nickelodeon era .
this indigenous american art form focuses on the frontier west that existed in north america. westerns are often set on the american frontier during the last part of the 19th century (1865 - 1900) following the civil war, in a geographically western (trans - mississippi) setting with romantic, sweeping frontier landscapes or rugged rural terrain. however, westerns may extend back to the time of america' s colonial period or forward to the mid - 20th century, or as far geographically as mexico. a number of westerns use the civil war, the battle of the alamo (1836) or the mexican revolution (1910) as a backdrop .

allowing a victimised child to be less than wholly sympathetic – in ways that only a real - life child could ever be – truffaut consolidates the 400 blows as an act of rebellion. it is not just antoine who is a rebel, or truffaut on whose early life the film is based. the film, in its conception and mise en scène, constituted an all - out rebellion against the established tenets of french cinema .
a final example can be found in the barberousse prison, an edifice located at the top of the hill across from the entrance to the south side of the casbah, pictured in an early scene that telegraphically narrates the politicization of the film’s algerian protagonist, ali la pointe. in this scene, the imprisoned ali peers at the execution of an fln militant through the barred slit in the thick exterior wall of his overcrowded cell. a high - angle shot representing ali’s subjective point of view looks down into the prison courtyard that contains a guillotine. the view then switches to a frontal framing and the camera’s zoom onto the condemned man, followed by a panning shot that continues ali’s prior perspective. an extreme close - up of ali’s gazing eyes is followed by a cut to the guillotine and the activities of its hooded functionaries .

in your earlier writings… you distinguished the idea of the work of art as a structure from the symbol of theology on the one hand, and from the taboo of magic on the other. i now find it somewhat disturbing —and here i can see a sublimated remnant of certain brechtian themes—that you have now rather casually transferred the concept of the magical aura to the ‘autonomous work of work’ and flatly assigned a counter - revolutionary function to the latter. (ba, 128 )
26. the film reprises a long - standing policy by the fln to present their struggle at the international level. for an account of how the algerian war of independence was also a war for international opinion waged between the french and the fln, see matthew connelly, “rethinking the cold war and decolonization: the grand strategy of the algerian war for independence, ” international journal of middle east studies 33: 2 (2001): 221–45. the character of the film’s multiple address has yet to be thoroughly analyzed, though murray smith touches on this theme in “ the battle of algiers: colonial struggle and collective allegiance, ” in terrorism, media, liberation, ed. j. david slocum (new brunswick, nj: rutgers university press, 2005), 94–110 .

yet for all its many virtues, chiens perdus sans collier commits the one crime the 400 blows does not. sentimentalising its child delinquents and victims, it portrays them as pathetic, almost dickensian figures. it tells the story, not just of one troubled child, but of a number of different children in separate narratives, relating them (if at all) through the star presence of jean gabin as a kindly judge – a consummate figure of benign bourgeois authority. all this, of course, was anathema to truffaut and his cohorts in the nouvelle vague. chiens perdus sans collier is a filmmaking in the third person, albeit of a very high order. the 400 blows is first - person cinema par excellence .
porter' s other film in the same year was a non - western, life of an american fireman (1903) featuring more overlapping action and cross - cut editing, and a last - minute rescue of a mother and child in a burning building. and edison' s a race for millions (1907) also featured typical western plot elements - a high - noon shootout, and claim - jumping. in fact, a number of major film studios were making westerns as early as 1907, and by the end of the first decade of the century, about twenty percent of all of hollywood' s films were westerns .

it is the fragment ‘central park’ that most clearly reveals the consequences of benjamin' s reading of baudelaire for his concept of history: the modern completely transforms the possibilities for the experience of history. on the one hand, it de - historicizes experience, wresting it away from the temporal continuities of tradition. on the other hand, a messianic structure—an opening of history to something outside of time—reasserts itself within the still life [ nature mort ] of modernity' s restless sameness. this is benjamin' s famous ‘dialectics at a standstill’ (tiedemann, 1982). it transforms the historical naturalism of the baroque, analyzed in the origin of the german mourning - play (section 4, above), in a futural direction. in particular, it involves a prioritization of the interruptive stasis of the image over the continuity of temporal succession. in fact, benjamin maintained: “the concept of historical time forms an antithesis to the idea of a temporal continuum” (sw 4, 407). ]
barbarism lurks in the very concept of culture—as the concept of a fund of values which is considered independent not, indeed, of the production process in which these values originated, but of the one in which they survive. in this way they serve the apotheosis of the latter, barbaric as it may be.
