Artworks Feature: The Art of Being Europe Pt.3 - Film and the EU - RN Artworks - 20 March 2011

Huffduffed by theJBJshow on March 24th, 2011

How many European films would survive Hollywood without EU support? Is the next generation forgetting how to watch European films, growing up instead on a diet of American blockbusters? Wim Wenders is worried.

The King’s Speech wasn’t the only European film to do well at this year’s Oscars. Another film, In a Better World by Danish director Susanne Bier, won best foreign language film. Both were backed by the European Union’s Media program, which is the subject of today’s feature.

This week Lyn Gallacher begins part three of her tour through Europe by taking us to to the movies. It’s a Finnish film.

  3. Philosophers Zone - 23 July 2011 - Tree of Life - The cinema of Terrence Malick

    Terrence Malick is, perhaps, unique: a film director who is well-trained in philosophy and who has published an English translation of a book by the great German philosopher Martin Heidegger. But should we see his movies as philosophical statements? In particular, what are we to make of his latest, The Tree of Life, which is set in Texas in the fifties but also takes us back to the creation of the world and the age of the dinosaurs? Metaphysics or pretension? This week, a philosophical investigation of Malick’s work.
