Racial Violence at the Crossroads of West and South in Rosewood (John Singleton, 1997) by Claire Dutriaux

De la désaffiliation dans My Son the Fanatic (Udayan Prasad, 1997) by Anne-Lise MARIN-LAMELLET

Through the simmering then overt conflict between a Pakistani father and his British-born son, the film raises fundamental questions about the nature of identity, the complexity of allegiances in a postcolonial context and the transmission of a legacy in the citizenship building process. …”

Sur quelques films “sylphiques” by Charlie Hewison

“…Based on the study of two contemporary photochemical experimental films - Zillertal by Jürgen Reble (1991/1997), sound of a million insects, light of a thousand stars by Tomonari Nishikawa (2014) - and a documentary from the 1980s - Chernobyl, A Chronicle of Difficult Weeks by Ukrainian filmmaker Vladimir Shevchenko (1986) -, which we define as “sylphic”, in reference to the writings of the alchemist Paracelsus, for their material capacity to make visible in striking ways the “chaos” or “vital space” of the atmospheres with which they come into contact, we propose to explore the ways in which the notion of atmosphere is becoming central to new theoretical approaches to media.…”

Décadence urbaine et Hors-la-loi sexuels dans l’univers de Blade Runner by Robert Yeates

“…While the city falls into profound disrepair and its citizens succumb to debilitating sicknesses, however, the furor over fugitive replicants consumes the attentions of the authorities and the blade runner protagonists. The film and the 1997 video game based upon it take a novel set in San Francisco, the home of some of the first gay neighborhoods in the US that suffered from the crackdowns of the late 1970s and 1980s, and transplants this to Los Angeles, a city which glamorized decay, adding an aesthetic that draws on the look of New York, a city notoriously in economic decline in the 1970s. …”

David Lynch’s Los Angeles: Control and Liberation through the Cinematic Image by Jakob Jurisch

“…Lynch’s cinematic outings, such as the neo-noir Lost Highway (1997), the acclaimed Hollywood fantasy Mulholland Drive (2001), and the experimental nightmare Inland Empire (2006), are all set in the heart of the film industry, in Los Angeles, and reveal his most ambitious vision yet: to examine the hierarchies of images in American pop-culture, providing a space in which dreams and nightmares routinely, yet subtly, intersect. …”
