Abstract This paper investigates Albanian-Italian relations through the analysis of two relatively notable films produced by Kinostudio in the Seventies: Gjeneral Gramafoni (General Gramophone, 1977) directed by Viktor Gjika and Koncert në Vitin 1936 (Concert in 1936, 1978) by Saimir Kumbaro. Since both films narrate events related to the propagation of Italian language and music, I analyse the way in which the directors portray the experience of listening as a mediator of Albanian-Italian relations. The investigation of these works is particularly useful to understand the contradictory ways in which filmmakers considered the effects of Italian and ‘Western’ cultural influences in Albanian society. By drawing on theoretical insights taken from postcolonial studies and phenomenology, I argue that Albanians’ attitude toward Italy and the ‘West’ was conditioned by the decolonisation process and by the way in which the regime positioned toward Western Europe.
摘要本文通过分析Kinostudio在70年代制作的两部相对著名的电影来研究阿尔巴尼亚-意大利的关系:维克多·吉卡导演的《General Gramafoni》(《General留声机》，1977)和塞米尔·库姆巴罗导演的《Koncert në Vitin 1936》(《Concert in 1936》，1978)。由于两部电影都讲述了与意大利语言和音乐传播有关的事件，因此我分析了导演将聆听作为阿尔巴尼亚-意大利关系调解人的经历描绘出来的方式。对这些作品的调查对于理解电影制作人在考虑意大利和“西方”文化对阿尔巴尼亚社会的影响时的矛盾方式特别有用。通过借鉴后殖民研究和现象学的理论见解，我认为阿尔巴尼亚人对意大利和“西方”的态度是由非殖民化进程和政权对西欧的定位方式决定的。

Abstract Article proposes to look at the last decade (1980–1989) of DEFA film production, still not been much discussed in scholarship, through the lens of the work of Rainer Simon (b. 1941), arguably one of DEFA’s last auteurists (although the auteurist label does not fit DEFA comfortably). Simon’s later movies, after the censoring of his Gegenwartsfilm (film of the present) Jadup und Boel (1980/1988), reworked the genre of historical film in new ways, via a politics of fantasy. The difficulty of defining these films’ genres is tied to its lack of defined address or alternative public sphere within the GDR.

The survey presents their views on the topics of screenwriting manuals, training programs, screenwriting research and their personal preferences in the teaching of screenwriting.

Abstract Based on sources found in the Archive of Bosnia and Herzegovina, this article examines Sarajevo studio Bosna Film’s postwar attempts to co-produce a film about the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and Duchess Sophie Hohenberg. Yugoslav filmmakers’ celebration of Young Bosnia’s resistance to Austro-Hungarian imperialism and colonialism is juxtaposed to the official condemnation of the assassins’ ‘terrorism’. I investigate how the Yugoslavs confronted their partners’ purported exploitation of Yugoslav production resources and inclination toward narrative modifications of history as promising to attract a larger international audience. Examples of Bosna Film’s collaborations demonstrate the uneasy balance between memory production, socialist state-building, international cultural promotion and sustainable business development.

Abstract The study uses Ian W. Macdonald’s concept of the screen idea to reconstruct the literary genesis of the film project The Situation of the Wolf (1971–1972) by screenwriter Pavel Juráček and director Jan Schmidt. The reconstruction is based on a comparison of individual written phases of literary preparation of the intended film – original short story by Jack London, synopsis, short story and literary script. The development of this project was influenced on the one hand by artistic factors, as it was a film adaptation of London’s Alaskan short story The Unexpected (1906) which has some aspects of the western genre and which Juráček, as the author of all texts of literary preparation of the film, had to adapt to the conditions of the film medium. On the other hand, the genesis of the project was fundamentally shaped by the contextual conditions – the sociopolitical situation of Czechoslovakia after the August occupation (1968), which led to the return of totalitarianism and to the normalization of the Czechoslovak cinema.

Abstract In 1920, Hungarian artist Jenő Janovics directed Menace, a film that would become the last title belonging to the Transylvanian silent cinema industry. On a comparative note, its script bears similarities to The Blight, an adaptation of Eugène Brieux’s play Damaged Goods, produced two years prior by Janovics. While both films were written by the same scriptwriter and shared the operator and most of the cast, Menace remains in film history as a Romanian achievement. It was ordered by the Romanian Ministry of Health as a social hygiene drama warning on the devastating effects of syphilis, an effort integrated into the international health campaign of the post-World War I era. The paper explores the screenwriting morphology of The Blight and Menace by means of two complementary approaches. An examination of the figure of Janovics based on archival documents demonstrates his affiliation to the Hungarian generation of 1900. An ensuing comparative script analysis explores the conflicting status of Menace in his silent film portfolio in the light of this fundamental finding.
