Full textThe objective of this master thesis was to investigate the possibility to measure the gain in stiffness of the dry coating due to film formation of latex with a Dynamic Mechanic Thermal Analyzer (DMTA). This could tell when and to which extent the latex forms a film after the drying process.
Two latices with different Tg was used for the experiments, one with a Tg of 36°C, denoted hard, and the one with a Tg of 8°C, denoted soft. The hard latex was used to make coating samples that would not form a film when dried at room temperature and the soft latex was used as a reference to the coating with hard latex since it would form a film at room temperature.
It was shown that a gain in stiffness due to film formation of latex in coating can be measured with a DMTA. It was also shown that that the film forming of latex in coatings depend on time, temperature and the history of the sample. Further investigations were carried out to try to determine the time for film formation to be completed at a certain temperature.. These investigations showed that this type of trials cannot be carried out in a DMTA directly since the stiffness seemed to increase monotonically during a very ling time. This might be due to the rearrangements in the pigment structure that might affect the gain in stiffness. Therefore, a method involving oven curing was developed. Only one series of test were performed with this method due to lack of time but the method showed promising results.
Syftet med detta examensarbete var att undersöka möjligheten att använda en Dynamic Mechanic Thermal Analyzer (DMTA) för att mäta ökningen av styvhet som följd av filmbildning av latex i en torr bestrykning.
Två olika latexer användes för experimenten, en med Tg = 36°C (hård) och en med Tg = 8°C (mjuk). Den hårda latexen användes för att kunna göra tester på prover som ännu inte filmbildat när de torkat vid rumstemperatur och den mjuka latexen användes för att göra referens prover mot bestrykningen med hård latex.
Resultaten visade att det går att mäta styvhetsökning i bestrykningen som en följd av filmformation med DMTA och filmformation av latex i bestrykningen troligtvis beror på både tid, temperatur och provets historia. Ett försök att mäta vilken uppehålls tid vid en specifik temperatur som krävs för att filmbildningen skall fulländas genomfördes. Dessa försök visade att DMTA:n inte var en lämplig metod för att mäta denna tid då styvheten verkade öka under en längre tid. Detta kan bero på att pigment partiklarna packade sig tätare och på så sätt orsakade en ökning av styvheten. Därför gjordes ett annat försök som involverar ugns härdning, men på grund av tidsbrist blev det bara en mätserie utförd. Den sist nämnda metoden visade dock goda resultat och måste därför bedömas ha en potential.

This thesis discusses the differences of style and content and reasons for these differences between the present incarnation of film noir and its predecessors. As a director whose three feature films to date all contain noir elements, the work of Christopher Nolan is contextualized with that of his contemporaries while the purpose of his expression of these elements is also considered.
O Film Noir regressou como género comercialmente atraente nos últimos dez anos e na sequência do sucesso de Pulp Fiction. Nesta tese tentamos analisar as diferenças de estilo e de conteúdo, e as razões para estas diferenças entre a incarnação actual do Film Noir e a dos seus antecessores. Enquanto realizador cujos filmes até hoje apresentados contêm elementos de Film Noir, a obra de Christopher Nolan é contextualizada com a dos seus contemporâneos, ao mesmo tempo que se analisa igualmente o objectivo da expressão destes elementos.

Full textDespite its recent re-lighting, silent cinema is still threatened by disappearance, notably because of nitrate film decomposition over time. It is estimated that 80 per cent of the world cinema production from 1895 to 1929 is currently lost, which makes silent film restoration even more crucial for those that still exist. Unfortunately, a century later, those films often remain in incomplete versions, sometimes even different from the original ones. This research work falls within this scope and specifically demonstrates the essential input of non-film archival documents of the time in silent film restoration processes. Those documents from now on represent the only sources attesting the original and complete form of those films. They notably allow, by comparing them with the incomplete films, both the identification of the preserved versions and the reconstruction of the narrative spine. This theoretical reflection on film restoration guiding principles [I] is then put into practice first through our examination of the restoration elements of the non-film archive collection of the American production company Triangle Film Corporation (1915-1919) preserved by the Cinémathèque française [II] then, based on the exploitation of these elements, through our contribution to the restorations of the French versions of the western The Desert Man (La Cité du désespoir, William S. Hart, 1917) and the historical drama The Despoiler (Châtiment, Reginald Barker, 1915) [III] ; two Triangle films so far presumed lost that constitute the only film elements located in the world until now

Full textThis dissertation aims to question the methodological tools and theoretical foundations of the practice of restoration in order to apply them to a body of work often left at the margins of this disciplinary field: experimental and artists’ film. Focusing on the years 1960-1980, it will examine works by Bruce Conner, Carolee Schneemann, Anthony McCall, and Paul Sharits, among others. Conceived and organized as a possible dialogue between theoretical assessment and the practical necessities of specific works, this research defends an open and dynamic methodology of restoration much like the objects herein considered. Through archival research, this dissertation will confront issues of textual reconstruction (starting from literary philology), performance and installation, scholarly debates concerning the materiality of artworks (problematizing the positions of restoration theorist Cesare Brandi), and the question of technological obsolescence. Mobilizing concepts from different fields considered as complementary (art history, aesthetics, the technological history of film), this dissertation seeks to describe the hermeneutical activity underlying any restoration process. It is starting from this hypothesis, which links theory and practice, that it will consider the specific issues accompanying the life of filmic objects
Il lavoro si propone di mettere in discussione gli strumenti metodologici e le basi teoriche dell’attività di restauro, al fine di volgersi a un corpus spesso considerato come marginale nella letteratura scientifica inerente alla disciplina: il film d’artista e sperimentale. Ci si concentrerà in particolare sugli anni 1960-1980 per analizzare, tra gli altri, la produzione di Bruce Conner, Carolee Schneemann, Anthony McCall, Paul Sharits. La tesi, concepita e costruita come un possibile dialogo tra l’esigenza di sistematizzazione teorica e le caratteristiche specifiche delle opere, promuove una metodologia aperta e dinamica, adattandosi dunque agli oggetti considerati. In un percorso che si vuole teorico, ma ugualmente frutto di ricerche in archivio, si tratteranno problemi di ricostruzione testuale (basandosi sulla filologia d’autore), questioni riguardanti la performance e l’installazione, interventi sulla materia delle opere (sulla scorta di una rilettura critica della Teoria del restauro di Cesare Brandi), o ancora il problema dell’obsolescenza tecnologica. La ricerca tende a includere e adattare concetti provenienti da diverse discipline (storia dell’arte, estetica, storia tecnologica del film, qui considerate come complementari), per poter infine descrivere l’attività di restauro come operazione ermeneutica. Muovendo da un’ipotesi di lavoro che unisce teoria e pratica, la ricerca affronta i problemi specifici relativi alla “trasmissione al futuro” delle opere filmiche

Full textThe influential theorist, David Bordwell, talks about various modes of watching film: the intellectual, the casual, or the obsessive interaction with cinema practiced by the film-buff. This thesis is an attempt to come to terms with film and film culture in a number of ways. It is first an attempt at reinscribing a notion of aesthetics into film studies. This is not an easy task. I argue that film theory is not adequately equipped to discuss film in affective terms, and that instead, it emphasises ways of thinking about film and culture quite removed from the act of film ‘spectating’ – individually, or perhaps even more crucially, collectively. To my mind, film theory increasingly needs to ask: are theorists and the various subjectivities about whom they theorise watching the same films, and in the same way? My experience of film is, as Tara Brabazon writes about her own experience of film, a profoundly emotional one. Film is a stream of quotation in my own life. It is inextricably wrapped up inside memory (and what Hutcheon calls postmodern nostalgia). Film is experience. I would not know how to communicate what Sergio Leone ‘means’ or The Godfather ‘represents’ without engaging what Barbara Kennedy calls the ‘aesthetic impulse.’ In this thesis, I extrapolate from what film means to me to what it might mean to an abstract notion of culture. For this reason, Chapters Three and Four are necessarily abstract and tentatively bring together an analysis of The Matrix franchise and Quentin Tarantino’s brand of metacinema. I focus on an aesthetics of cinema rather than its politics or ideological fabric. This is not to marginalise such studies (which, in any case, this thesis could not do) but to make space for another perspective, another way of considering film, a new way of recuperating affect.

Full textThis thesis is a study of documentaries about fictional feature films. The development of the DVD format has contributed strongly to their massive increase in quantity. The capacity of the format enables film companies to include more material than the feature film itself. As some people regard this type of documentary as self-righteous and presumtious, others think of it as a great educational aid giving the audience a greater understanding of the intentions of the director and others involved, thus adding more levels to the experience of watching movies. By using established theory on documentary I’m trying to find distinctive features of ‘documentary on fiction’.
I uppsatsen studeras dokumentärfilmer som behandlar spelfilmer. Det är en företeelse som växt starkt i och med lanseringen av det nya videoformatet DVD. Formatets kapacitet har möjliggjort att man kunnat inkludera mer material än bara själva filmen. Idag är det nästan självklart att man på något sätt dokumenterar arbetet med en film, men man gör det på många olika sätt och med olika syften. Det finns många åsikter om denna typ av dokumentär. Vissa röster hävdar att de endast kan vara självförhärligande och partiska, medan andra anser att de ger fiktionsfilmer ett större djup och tittaren en ökad respekt och förståelse för verket.
Jag vill med min undersökning hitta kännetecken för dokumentärfilmer om fiktionsfilmer och detta gör jag med hjälp av etablerad dokumentärfilmsteori. Genom analysen diskuterar jag bland annat filmernas funktion, problematik och relation till fiktionsfilmen.

The computerization of narrative fictional devices reconfigures the relationships between the diegetic world and the extradiegetic level. By means of the computer software, these new forms of narrative works allow periodic and controlled shifts between narrator and narratee. Fictional but not immersive, diegetic rather than mimetic, the interactive film opens the way to a computerized narrative cooperation. Thus the logic structuring action moves upwards and becomes metanarrative
