Bride of Frankenstein
No full textThe inaugural volume in the film|minutes book series, this book offers a close, minute-by-minute analysis of director James Whale’s iconic 1935 masterpiece Bride of Frankenstein. Alternating between a variety of analytical lenses, including descriptive, historical, and philosophical, this study breaks from conventional forms of film-analytical writing and offers an experiment in defamiliarization and looking anew. In the 1930s, the film opened a space for reflection on the rapid normalization of filmic sound, which it both relies on and estranges. In the 2020s, Bride of Frankenstein brings forth questions of new technological mediums such as artificial intelligence and the transformation of human agency. Shane Denson argues that such associations should not be written off as mere anachronism, but seen, rather, as a strategy of serialization; that is, it is by means of such anachronism that a film like Bride of Frankenstein remains open to new developments and novel situations, and thus comes alive for future viewers. Volumes in the film|minutes series cut up films into segments of exactly one minute and transform each minute into an innovative tool for thinking with the film. Each volume works rigorously with the concept of “the minute” as a non-cinematic scale/quantity, a means to zoom in on (dis)orderly fragments that do not necessarily respect the confinements of cinematic form or meaning. As a critical practice, the focus on minutes causes disruptions and displacement that create novel connections and perspectives, and uncovers hidden traces, making it possible to watch each film anew

The 'Big Picture' as a Multitude of Fragments: Jason Lutes's Depiction of Weimar Republic Berlin
No full textDividuated Images
Get PDFIn contrast to the integral photograms of cinema, the images of a post-cinematic media regime are dividual, their forms discorrelated from molar subjectivity, their forces molecular, and their agencies of the order of metabolism rather than perception or cognition.1 It is in these terms that I have sought to understand the differences between cinematic and post-cinematic media (Denson 2016), and I have thereby made appeal to a somewhat Deleuzian framework—essentially situating the post-cinematic image as a medium, vector, or agent of the control society, complicit in the dividuation and modulation of subjects and their experiential and agential capacities under post-Fordist or neoliberal capitalism, as suggestively described by Deleuze in his famous “Postscript on the Societies of Control” (1992). But what are the means and mechanisms by which discorrelated, “dividuated” images are supposed to affect us
Shane: Tourette
No full textShane Fistel is a talented sculptor and painter. He also suffers from Tourette's syndrome, that often-misunderstood condition that historically has been misdiagnosed as insanity and even demonic possession. In this program, neurologist/author Oliver Sacks explores his unique friendship with Shane. Together, they travel to the Charcot Library at the Salp?tri?re in Paris to learn more about Tourette's syndrome. This condition, first described in 1885 by Jean-Martin Charcot's colleague Gilles de la Tourette, is a neurochemical disorder. Due to its influence, Shane?a charismatic individual totally lacking in social inhibitions?feels compelled to act in ways that others find antisocial and threatening
