16:9 Podcast: Kunstfilmen i streaminglandskabet
PODCAST. Mens de store streaming-giganters indbyrdes konkurrence ofte handler om hvem der kan tilbyde de største og mest populære film og serier, fører kunstfilmen en mere beskeden tilværelse i streaminglandskabets randområder. I denne 16:9-podcast afsøger Jakob Langkjær sammen med Henrik Højer, Jakob Isak Nielsen og Mathias Bonde Korsgaard netop dette territorium i en snak om hvordan (og hvor) kunstfilmen begår sig online - og hvor de hver giver en streaminganbefaling.
16:9 Talks: Thomas Golubić
16:9 TALKS. Music is one of the key components in a film, yet we often fail to recognize or describe it adequately. In this interview, we meet music supervisor Thomas Golubić, who has worked on prominent productions like Breaking Bad (AMC, 2008-2013), Halt and Catch Fire (AMC,2014-present), Better Call Saul (AMC, 2015-present) and Once I Was: The Hal Ashby Story (2017), about his work and his love of music and Hal Ashby.
The Origins of Ruben Östlund’s Long-Take Style
VIDEO-ESSAY. Having won the Palme d’Or in 2017, it is no surprise that Ruben Östlund draws from other prizewinning directors like Michael Haneke and Roy Andersson. But you wouldn’t expect a Palme d’Or-winning director to find stylistic inspiration in skiing films and on YouTube. Mathias Bonde Korsgaard traces the unlikely origins of Östlund’s long-take style.
A Mere Formality
VIDEO-ESSAY. Hou Hsiao-Hsien is a great, but somewhat underappreciated Taiwanese auteur, known for his long takes and slow pacing. In this video-essay, Adrian Martin and Cristina Álvarez López explore his unique style as seen in a scene from the 1995-film Good Men, Good Women. Mirroring the tempo and attention to detail in Good Men, Good Women, this video-essay tries to capture the very essence of Hou Hsiao-Hsien’s aesthetic.
169 Seconds: Lust for Life
169 SECONDS. Thomas Vinterberg’s latest work, Another Round (2020), deals with the Danish drinking culture. Mads Mikkelsen plays a high school teacher who has lost his lust for life. The question is whether he is flying or falling in the last shot of the film? In this third edition of the 169 Seconds audiovisual format, Jan Oxholm analyzes the final scene and the dramatic use of the freeze frame technique.
169 Seconds: Double Nostalgia in The Queen’s Gambit
169 SECONDS. Jaap Kooijman’s audiovisual essay “Double Nostalgia in The Queen’s Gambit” focuses on one specific montage sequence in the 2020 Netflix series, which uses Shocking Blue’s 1969 song “Venus” as soundtrack. The use of the song and its music video not only expresses the emotional state of the protagonist, but also raises questions about watching music television as a cultural practice.
16:9 Podcast: Sex i populærkulturen (2:2)
PODCAST. It’s not porn, it’s HBO! Eller er det en Trierfilm? I denne anden podcast om sex i populærkulturen bevæger Isak Thorsen og Jakob Isak Nielsen sig væk fra dansk film i 70erne for at causere over forekomsten af eksplicit seksualitet i en bredere film- og tv-historisk kontekst. De to gange Isak runder såvel nyere som ældre kunstfilm, ligesom de via nedslag i Game of Thrones (HBO, 2011- ) og Tell Me You Love Me (HBO, 2007) diskuterer to vidt forskellige funktioner, som eksplicit seksualitet kan have i HBO-serier.
169 Seconds: Parasite – Props at the Periphery of Perception
169 SECONDS. Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite is a film that pays obsessive attention to its mise-en-scène. In this installment of 169 Seconds, Mathias Bonde Korsgaard explores how the film’s props subtly assist in characterizing the social status of the characters by creating a distinct opposition between global and local brands.
It’s not tv, it’s art-tv
VIDEO-ESSAY. I 2003 brugte den amerikanske filmhistoriker Kristin Thompson begrebet art-tv om tv-serien Twin Peaks. I sit video-essay argumenterer Henrik Højer for at aktuelle serier som Mr. Robot, The Leftovers og The Knick fører arven fra David Lynch videre og udfordrer seerne gennem eksperimenterende brug af bl.a. long takes, musik og montageklipning.
