His Name Was Not Frankenstein

The fragmented face and the wrath of the clan

Faculty of Geography and History, room 409, Universitat de Barcelona, Montalegre 6

 Why do we find the fragmented face of Frankenstein’s Monster so fascinating? The monster in the 1931film was certainly one of the most successfully characterisations in the history of cinema, but there issomething more: it raises a question that goes beyond the creen and has something to do with the idea of that spectre haunting Europe that opens The Communist Manifesto.

The workshop will dissect the film Dr. Frankenstein (1931) to try and understand how terror and dreams are      connected in the logic of the fight against the master.

In the 1960s and 1970s thousands of hippies journeyed east to India in search of enlightenment. Indian peasants assumed that a severe drought in the West was the reason for their migration. India's holy men saw it as a search for spirituality. Most moved back to their home countries after a few months or years while others stayed for good. Hippie Masala is a portrait of Western ex-patriates: Robert from Holland, a gifted painter, lives with jos wife and young children. Meera, a hermit, seeks enlightenment on her own, while Cesare, an Italian expatriate, strives for spiritual liberation through back-breaking yoga. Hanspeter, a man originally from Switzerland, runs a small farm in the Himalayas. Erica and Gillian, South African twins, sew hippie handicrafts by day and party tirelessly at night...

This is a riveting documentary that examines representations of gender roles in hip-hop and rap music through the lens of filmmaker Byron Hurt, a former college quarterback turned activist. Conceived as a “loving critique” from a self-proclaimed “hip-hop head”, Hurt examines issues of masculinity, sexism, violence and homophobia in today's hip-hop culture.

Through a structuralist and simultaneously ambiguous form, the image's reality treads closer to the abstract, leaving the sunset and trees behind. As we enter the image's gloaming, it reveals its true eye: reality's pure haptic energy, where there is nothing but sonorous light, and the dregs of the Unknown.

A shot of a few buildings in the middle of nowhere, and then the camera delves deep into exotic, luxuriant vegetation. We are in Tropical Islands, a leisure complex near Krausnick, a village 70 kilometres south of Berlin on the site of a former Soviet airbase. At this very spot, moving from one affectation to the next, the upheavals of the last century pile up like so much sediment. Europe's scars and contradictions, its mindscape, its dreams and illusions.

Himalaya: Terre de Serenite by Arnaud Desjardins (1968), consists of two remarkable early films shot in the 1960's for French television, focusing on the Tibetan yogis at the sacred lake of Padmasambhava in India, Rewelsar. The first film, Le Lac des Yogis, features rare footage of the early years of Tibetan refugees in India, with a young Dalai Lama and his sister Jetsun Pema, plus Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Trijang Rinpoche, and Dudjom Rinpoche performing an initiation at Rewelsar, or Tso Pema. The second film, Les Enfants de la Sagesse, features a young Dalai Lama and his Gelugpa monks, and the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa training the main young tulkus of the Kagyu lineage - now renowned teachers in their own right.
