	Renaissance Indian Magazine-John Woo interview, By Arigon Starr, Page1
		A maverick film director and writer who honed his skills in Hong Kong cinema, Woo's Hollywood films have both thrilled and shocked audiences.
		This thread runs through almost all of his films, from "The Killer" to "Face Off." Woo's films are reminiscent of American director Martin Scorsese, whose films are filled with compelling characters who happen to have very violent jobs (see "Mean Streets" or "Good Fellas").
		His films have pushed the envelope of what action-oriented movies suppose to be.

	Kenneth Branagh - Films as Director and Actor:, Other Films:
		Renaissance acquired a high profile in rapid time, with Branagh and other major British actors directing a variety of productions in which they also appeared, in London and on national and international tours.
		The comparisons and contrasts between the two films are genuinely striking, reflective of the periods in which they were made and of the imposing talents of the men who made them.
		Filmed on location in Tuscany, Much Ado is visually enchanting, as vibrantly bright and sensually warm as Henry V is consciously dark and (until the wooing scene) cold.

	THE HIGH HAT \| NITRATE: Films from the Former Yugoslavia
		Not all of these films focus on political issues or even the recent war, but nearly all of them have sharp social commentaries in their work, combined with strong visual accents.
		As in her documentary work, this film bridges the political and the personal in exploring the relationship of three girls taking a canoe trip down the Kolpa River, which forms part of the border between Croatia and Slovenia.
		His long-delayed follow-up film Dust was surprisingly different from Rain, with the lyrical romanticism and beauty of Rain replaced by the dazzling-yet-violent imagery of Dust.

	Society of Biblical Literature
		In 2003, a collection of short animation films titled The Animatrix was released, the main goal of which was to develop themes and motifs related to The Matrix Trilogy (The Matrix [1999], The Matrix Reloaded [2003], and The Matrix Revolutions [2003]).
		Far from being a mere retelling or rewriting of the biblical account of creation, the 2R films offer a richly nuanced reconfiguration in which elements are borrowed, but also retooled and reapplied, to move the viewer in a different direction than the Genesis story does on its own.
		In the biblical traditions and their afterlives, knowledge itself is not usually a major factor, and the aetiology of human culture and civilization that arises from the very act of expulsion may even be seen as a final embrace of the "fall" as a positive feature.

	Clifford B. West
		An interesting and unique body of work was filmed by artist Clifford West, whose more than 25 films on artists and aspects of art history made between 1958 and 1981 utilizes a camera-as-brush technique more in keeping with the approach taken by a painter than a filmmaker.
		The film is one of constant motion, resulting from the vertiginous movements of West’s camera, or the movement built into the sculptures themselves.
		The film begins with historian Bruno Bearzi showing Donatello's modifications, and his 14 separate castings, on the colossal bronze of St. Louis of Toulouse at the Museo dell'Opera.

	Sheffield Hallam Working Papers: Teaching Renaissance Texts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		For most film makers and audiences the Renaissance surely means, in the first place, a time of vivid and colourful personalities leading lives filled with grandeur, passion, and cruelty, thus providing historical justification for the scenes of sex and violence which the audience is assumed to want.
		In the film, she refuses to testify that she was raped and Tassi has to nobly ‘confess’ in order to save her from further torture.
		The Renaissance was indeed a crucial period in the formation of the English (and British) nation but there are always other stories which can be told about this and students might be invited to think what a film about Elizabeth made from a strongly Catholic viewpoint would be like.

	New U.S. Black Cinema by Clyde Tayor
		By the time films of great innovation and energy began emerging from UCLA in the early seventies from Haile Gerima, Larry Clark, and Charles Burnett, it was clear that a new path had been broken toward a liberated fl screen image.
		The semantics of this film are akin to those of the instrumental jazz theater, in which the performer calls the audience together to celebrate shared passages of life through his/her voicing of a familiar tune.
		The independent films of Afro-Americans since the late 1960s, it should be clear by now, have made a departure from all prior examples of fl imagery sharp enough to be considered a distinct aesthetic phenomenon.

	Henry V (1989 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Henry V is a 1989 film directed by Kenneth Branagh, and based upon the Shakespeare play about the famous English King.
		The visual and verbal styles of the film are much grittier than the Laurence Olivier film (see: Henry V (1944 movie)), particularly with respect to the Battle of Agincourt scenes, which are strongly reminiscent of the battle scenes in the films of Akira Kurosawa.
		Henry V received near-universal critical acclaim for Branagh's Oscar-nominated performance and direction, for the accessibility of its Shakespearean language and particularly for its music by first-time composer Patrick Doyle, which was performed by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Simon Rattle.

	http://xft001/metz/blaxploitation.htm
		The Blaxploitation film, a film made at a Hollywood studio in the late 1960s and early 1970s for a specifically urban, African-American audience, offers a worthy case study for sorting out these competing definitions of the Hollywood Renaissance.
		The film radically posits that it is the white police force that is the problem, and Priest, the character who in a traditional Hollywood film would be the crook, turns out to be the hero.
		The film thus works to re-inforce, not dismantle, the racist supposition that fl male sexuality is bestial, and a threat to white womanhood.

		From Miramax Films comes Renaissance, a bold vision of a stark near future drenched in hidden secrets and technological frontiers.
		Directed by Christian Volckman, Renaissance takes film noir to its most stylized edge, utilizing live action motion capture, animated in 3D and rendered in high contrast fl and white to create a graphic novel come-to-life.
		The characters in our film are archetypes of that genre but they are of their own time and are now obsessed with things like security, ethnic conflicts, terrorism, world globalization.”

		The shift from Classical to New Hollywood as figured by these stars’ appearances in such films is associated with a shift in genre: from woman’s film (where their bodies signified ideal beauty) to horror film (where their aging bodies signify the grotesque).
		Fueled by a new generation of filmmakers (the first of which ever to have gone to film school, who would eventually be dubbed the "Hollywood Brats": Coppola, Scorsese, etc.), Hollywood cinema began to import the aesthetic practices of the European art cinema, the aesthetic practices of modernism.
		This economic perspective on the Renaissance films opens a space for seeing these films not as truly radical, as the modernist argument would imply, but instead as Hollywood operating as usual to draw in an audience without offending anyone.

		The American Renaissance Film Festival was scheduled for the third anniversary weekend of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and it was a fitting tribute.
