FILM INTELLIGENCE
The Internet Journal for new writing on the Moving Image - Incorporating the journal of the Collegium of the Pordenone Silent Film Festival (Giornate del Cinema Muto)
Film Intelligence recently reported from Cannes 2007. Click here to read the report.
FILM INTELLIGENCE aims to clear a space in the great entangled overgrowth of film periodical publication, both print and digital. It provides a place for writing that can probe deeper than the purely journalistic, but still remain more accessible and research-based than the proliferating mass of academic literature.
FILM INTELLIGENCE is broad-based, recognising the moving image’s international spread and its 110 years of history, and keeping up to date with new releases and new tendencies. We’re open to writing about anything about the moving image, from pre-cinema to post-modern, from old Hollywood to abstract art installations - as long as the attitude is original and the style accessible.
A QUICK GUIDE TO WHAT YOU WILL CURRENTLY FIND ON FILM INTELLIGENCE:
NEWS
Sorry – you won’t learn who Brad Pitt is dating or who got the wrong side of Russell Crowe last night, but we do try to cover news of major cinema events around the globe
FEATURES
This section will grow: for the moment you will find only Alex Jacoby’s succinct guide to Japanese silent cinema, in dialogue form, originally published in COLLEGIUM PAPERS, but now revised and reprinted as an introduction to the forthcoming retrospective of Japanese silents at the Pordenone Silent Film Festival (Giornate del Cinema Muto).
COLLEGIUM PAPERS
The essays submitted by the twelve students of silent cinema selected for the Collegium of the Pordenone Silent Film Festival are published in an annual volume, Collegium Papers. Here we reprint some representative papers from past volumes that are of particular current interest.
FESTIVALS
Festivals enable us to keep abreast of the constant tides of world cinema. It is impossible for us to cover more than a few of the 400 or more such events that take place around the world each year. However we shall aim to report on those that seem outstanding in their genre. Currently you can still read our daily reports from the recent Cannes Film Festival, the Turin International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival and the Mexican national film festival in Guadalajara.
RECORDS
Features already available in this section are a chronology of the events of 1905 – invaluable for journalists looking for a quick centenary subject – and a record of recent obituaries. The earlier necrology of 2005 is retained in the archive section.
HISTORY
We intend to devote a page to studies of film history. Currently we have articles by David Robinson on the rediscovered 1922 BEYOND THE ROCKS, a unique teaming of the superstars Rudolph Valentino and Gloria Swanson; and by Alberta Marlowe on the strange story of the Pool Group of the 1920s, whose aspirations towards a more liberated form of film journalism is particularly sympathetic to the proponents of FILM INTELLIGENCE.
