  • Lynne Ramsay: Character´s multi-sensorial experience

    This thesis is motivated by my strong conviction that the films written and directed by Lynne Ramsay are worthy of serious engagement and critical scrutiny. The Scottish filmmaker is one of the rare artists who was able to bend the cinema to the shape of her own extraordinary vision, which establishes her among the most original voices working in independent cinema today. This dissertation is also motivated by my curiosity about the seemingly inexhaustible pleasure and edification I derive from her films. It analyzes the consistency,meaning, persistence of style and theme in the corpus of her work. Ramsay’s filmmaking was always described as “cine de autor” (auteur cinema). Indeed, her films are an evidence of a personal involvement in every aspect of filmmaking. This thesis will define and explore the characteristics and conditions of her authorship which constitute an expression of the enduring usefulness of auteurist criticism. In this case, this critical approach tends to yield the deepest insights into her films, identifying the unique qualities of Ramsay’s film grammar, such as the narrative, aural, visual components, while stimulating quests for the importance of the auteur. Since, my research into the literature on the films of Lynne Ramsay failed to find any serious evaluations, my analysis benefits from references taken by different theories included in the thesis and by the audiovisual materiál provided by the films. Primarily, it is an approach to criticism I learned from my mentors at FAMU( Film and TV School of Academy of Performing Arts in Prague), while my direct experience as film-maker will add an operative critical approach to elaborating the stylistic trademarks and identify director’s artistic and dramatic decisions. Each film will be subjected to a close reading illustrated with images from it. These readings aim to structure Ramsay’s method of creation while thinking with the films rather than thinking against or about them

    The Coen Brothers have established themselves as film auteurs, managing to work within the Hollywood film industry and outside of it. Their unique style, their ability to blend multiple genres into one cohesive film, is what sets them apart from their contemporaries and many filmmakers through out. But this thesis sets out to investigate the foundations of the Coens’ filmmaking abilities within an animated context, to see if the Coens have taken inspiration and influence from the animated cartoons of Warner Brothers’ The Looney Tunes and Metro Goldwyn Mayer’s Tom & Jerry.
  • "Pathos" as an ultimate inspiration in the macedonian cinema

    This thesis aims to elaborate and prove the inevitable existence of the feature of Pathos in Macedonian Cinema, serving as an ultimate and underlying characteristic in film narratives and language. The work will attempt to illustrate and justify the presence of Pathos in over 90 percent of Macedonian Feature Film production as a consequence of the country?s war-political history, and the rooted subordinate mental matrix of the Balkan people, perceiving themselves as oppressed victims of ?other? nations. In order to achieve this, the thesis will take a closer look at the modern history of Macedonia from the beginnings of motion picture existence until today. In addition, the work will analyze 10 feature films from different decades in the Nation?s Cinema with a view toward the use of Pathos and its necessity.
  • Revealing the Hidden Symbols and Agendas within Music Videos

    The objective of this thesis is to explain and better understand the reoccurring themes and symbols in the music industry that are seen as evil, and which are commonly associated with the infamous, secret society: The Illuminati. It is important to know the significance of these themes and symbols, and the effect they have on the viewers on a subconscious level. This, in turn, allows a better understanding of the future of the American music industry (which, in part, influences the future of society). The paper begins with a brief overview of the Illuminati and their main objectives. Moving towards a history of symbols used, the basis of this research is an analysis of various music videos (including a live performance) and how they affect the public through two negative ways: instilling a satanic presence through rituals and reinforcing sexual perversion. In conclusion, there are many themes and symbols that appear repeatedly in the music industry that should not be ignored due to their significance. Although the spectrum of music videos that have these negative effects is quite broad and difficult to summarize in one study, this research will act as a stepping stone into a much needed realm of exploration
  • Same story told differently how the socio-cultural factors influenced the creation of Abre los Ojos and Vanilla Sky

    In order to illustrate how the same story significantly changes depending on its country of origin, I will use the example of Abre Los Ojos (Spain, 1997) and its remake Vanilla Sky (USA, 2001). The intention of my thesis will not be to prove which version is better, but rather to show how all differences are results of a different ideological and cinematographic tradition. First, I will talk about kinds of remakes and why Hollywood remakes European films. Then, I will compare the main characters in both films, and show how they reflect socio-behavioral norms, based on their country of origin. Then, I will continue with other cultural differences expressed in the language, cinematography, editing, music, acting and directing. The main sociological, therefore cinematographic difference, which prevails in all aspects and sections of the two films, is that Abre los Ojos deals with the protagonist?s inner struggles, while Vanilla Sky is a love driven film. This thematic difference reveals a lot about the audience?s preferences in Europe and America.
  • The Diversity of the Femme Fatale Character in Film

    This thesis will examine the diversity of the film archetype knows as the ?femme fatale? from her emergence in early noir film to her development in contemporary cinema. By tracing her appearance across a timeframe of eight decades, I will expose the diversity of her physical manifestations as well as diverse methods that she used in continual war against manhood. I will do so, by analyzing one prototype of the femme fatale followed by six other female characters, all of whom have been critically referenced as a ?femme fatale? or ?devil?s woman? within different film genres. These characters are LOLA-LOLA from the 1930 early German noir film Blue Angel as the prototypical femme fatale; BABY DOLL from the 1956 American black comedy of the same name; VARLA from the 1965 American exploitation film Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!; ANNIE WILKES from the 1990?s American thriller/horror Misery; LOLITA from the 1997 French-American melodrama of the same name; VERA from the 2007 Russian drama Banishment and LISBETH SALANDER from the 2011 American mystery film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The term ?femme fatale? will be examined for its origins and the development of this type of character will be examined from its early appearance to its manifestation in contemporary film. Attention will be paid to how the manifestation of the femme fatale reflects the time in which the film was produced.

    As a future screenwriter, I am especially interested in the social, cultural and psychological characteristics that influence the development of film characters. The main focus of this thesis is the depiction of women, particularly mothers, in Macedonian film. The female character is not sufficiently exploited or explored and it's one of the main hoops missing in the already fragile Macedonian cinematography. Given this objective, this thesis explores the real and authentic representation of the woman in Macedonian cinematography, especially the depiction of the mother, by considering the female protagonists in three films from Macedonian cinema that have both influenced the Macedonian culture and have been influenced by the Macedonian culture. Those three films are Vojislav Nanovic's Frosina (1952), Teona Strugar Mitevska's A Woman who brushed off her tears (2012) and Milcho Manchevski's Mothers (2010). The female characters are examined for how they match up to real and ideal models from traditional cultures, how characteristics coming from the East-West dichotomy are used in the creation of these characters, and how the characters relate to Jung's description of the mother archetype.
