WEEK 1: 2/5

The Fascination with Vienna in Film

Joseph W. Moser, Assistant Professor of German at West Chester University, will discuss the fascination with Vienna in films, starting with the post-WW II image of the city in The Third Man (1949), then analyzing the Cold War context in the 007 spy film The Living Daylights (1987), and finally examining the romance film Before Sunrise (1995), which is as much a romance film as a glorious film tour of Vienna, a city.

WEEK 2: 2/12

Early Kubrick

Maurizio Giammarco, Ph.D., Intellectual Heritage Program and English department, Temple University, will discuss the early films of Stanley Kubrick from the 1950s (Killer’s Kiss, The Killing, Paths of Glory) through 1962’s Lolita.

WEEK 3: 2/19

Film Noir: The Austrian Influence

Foster Hirsch, film professor at Brooklyn College, is a film historian who specializes in the Hollywood studio era, 1930s-1960s. His talk will focus on the major impact of the work of three Austrian directors - Fritz Lang, Billy Wilder, and Otto Preminger - on the evolution of American suspense films of the 1940s and 1950s that have since come to be identified as ‘film noir.’ Excerpts from such seminal noir dramas as Lang’s Scarlet Street and Woman in the Window; Wilder’s Double Indemnity and Sunset Boulevard; and Preminger’s Laura and Where the Sidewalk Ends will illustrate characteristic themes, characters, dialogue, settings, and visual patterns of the noir style.

WEEK 4: 2/25 *NOTE THIS IS A MONDAY

An Odyssey of Groundbreaking Cinema

Maurizio Giammarco will present this second talk on the later films of Kubrick, including Dr. Strangelove, A Clockwork Orange, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Full Metal Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut, and the impact of the 1938 Anschluss and exodus of Austrian Jewish immigrants from Europe on his work. Often lauded for his exacting precision, Kubrick consistently engaged his audiences with issues surrounding morality, discipline, power, and ambition.

WEEK 5: 3/5

The Sound of Music Story

Tom Santopietro Beginning with fascinating behand-the-scenes stories of the filming in Salzburg and the intriguing casting decisions that informed the film, acclaimed author Tom Santopietro (the New York Times Editor’s Choice), will mix film clips and his work as a film historian to analyze why The Sound of Music remains beloved by multiple generations the world over, and what its extraordinary hold on audiences tells us about our lives in the 21st century. The talk will also cover the reactions of both the real-life von Trapp family and the citizens of Austria to the film.

WEEK 2: 3/27

The Psychological Processes Behind Dehumanization Presented by Emile Bruneau

Emile Bruneau is a research associate and lecturer at the Annenberg School for Communication and director of the Peace and Conflict Neuroscience Lab. Bruneau is also the lead scientist at the Beyond Conflict Innovation Lab(link is external). Prior to his formal training in neuroscience, Bruneau worked, traveled, and lived in a number of conflict regions: South Africa during the transition from Apartheid to Democracy, Sri Lanka during one of the largest Tamil Tiger strikes in that nation’s history, Ireland during “The Troubles,” Israel/Palestine around the Second Intifada.

Bruneau is now working to bring the tools of science to bear on the problem of intergroup conflict by (1) building methods to better characterize the (often unconscious) cognitive biases that drive conflict using explicit, implicit and functional neuroimaging (fMRI) techniques, and (2) critically evaluating efforts aimed at transcending these biases. These efforts have focused on three psychological processes relevant to intergroup conflict: empathy, dehumanization, and motivated reasoning, and involve target groups that are embroiled in intractable conflict (e.g., Israelis and Palestinians), or subject to extreme

hostility (e.g., Muslims in the U.S., the Roma in Europe).

Week 2: 3/12 Fall Guys and Antiheroes: Sam Spade, Philip Marlowe, and Vincent Parry have more in common than having been played by Humphrey Bogart. This session discusses what distinguishes the noir protagonist from the heroes of other genres.

Week 3: 3/26 A Dame to Kill For: No discussion of film noir could possibly be complete without an in-depth look at the femme fatale. From Lauren Bacall in The Big Sleep to Kim Basinger in L.A. Confidential, we investigate the depiction of women in film noir.

Week 4: 4/2 Greed, Sex, and Murder: Plumbing the depths of the human soul, we often find that decadence and villainy often come out on top in film noir. In the dark world where Venetian blinds cast shadows across the room, the bad guys often win.

Week 5: 4/9 The Big Combo: This class investigates the influence film noir has had across genres, including cyberpunk (Blade Runner) and animation (Who Framed Roger Rabbit?), as well as its international adaptation by directors such as Akira Kurosawa (The Bad Sleep Well, Stray Dog).
