Věra Chytilová

Věra Chytilová was an avant-garde Czech film director and pioneer of Czech cinema.

At the age of 28 she was accepted into the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (FAMU). While attending FAMU she studied underneath renowned film director Otakar Vavra, graduating in 1962.

Chytilová is best known for her once highly controversial film Sedmikrásky (Daisies) – (1966). Daisies is known for its un-sympathetic characters, lack of a continuous narrative and abrupt visual style. Chytilová states that she structured Daisies to “restrict [the spectator’s] feeling of involvement and lead him to an understanding of the underlying idea or philosophy”. The film was banned within Czechoslovakia upon its initial release in 1966 until 1967, but in 1966 the film won the Grand Prix at the Bergamo Film Festival in Italy.

After Daisies the government made it very difficult for Chytilová to find work within Czechoslovakia, even though she was never officially classified as a 'blacklisted' director. After the Soviet Union invasion in 1968 it was virtually impossible for her to find work and she resorted to directing commercials under her husband’s name, Jaroslav Kučera.

In 1976, due to the low cinema attendance she was approached by the government to begin directing films through a state-run production company. At the same time the United States was assembling a 'Year of Women' Film Festival and contacted Chytilová to gain permission to screen Daisies as their opening film. She informed the festival that the only non-censored prints of the film could be found in Paris and Brussels, and that her government would not allow her to attend the festival, nor were they allowing her to direct films. The festival then began to apply international pressure upon the Czechoslovakian government by petitioning on Chytilová’s behalf. In accordance with this international pressure Chytilová wrote a letter directly to President Gustáv Husák. Due to the success of the international pressure, and Chytilová’s personal appeal to President Husak, Chytilová began production of Hra o jablko (The Apple Game, 1976). The Apple Game was completed and then was screened at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, and won the Silver Hugo and the Chicago International Film Festival.

Chytilová described herself as a control freak and was known as being actively critical of the Soviet Union, stating that “My critique is in the context of the moral principles you preach, isn’t it? A critical reflection is necessary”. She would routinely cause havoc to make films that were loyal to her vision regardless of the heavy censorship that was routinely imposed. Věra Chytilová’s last film was released in 2006, and she has taught directing at FAMU.

Chytilová embodied a unique cinematographic language and style that does not rely on any literary or verbal conventions, but rather utilizes various forms of visual manipulations to create meaning within her films. Chytilová used observations of everyday life in accordance with allegories and surreal contexts to create a personalized film style that is greatly influenced by the French New Wave, and Italian neorealism.

Claire Denis

Claire Denis (French: [dəni]; born 21 April 1946) is a French auteur film director and writer. Denis is widely regarded as one of the strongest female voices in contemporary world cinema. Her film Beau Travail (1999) is considered a modern masterpiece and one of the greatest female-directed films in the history of cinema. Other acclaimed works include Trouble every Day (2001), 35 Shots of Rum (2008), and White Material (2009). Her work has had a lasting impact on European cinematic identity and has dealt with themes of colonial and post-colonial West Africa, as well as issues in modern France. She is known for her elliptical shooting style and uses many close ups which remain relentlessly on the faces and bodies of her protagonists. The majority of Denis' oeuvre uses location work over studio work. The subject's body in space, and how the particular terrain, weather, and color of the landscape influences and interacts with the human subjects of her films maintains cinematic dominance.

Denis was born in Paris, but raised in colonial French Africa, where she spent her childhood living in West Africa with her parents and her younger sister. Her father was a civil servant, living in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, French Somaliland, and Senegal. It has been a strong influence on her films, which have dealt with themes of colonialism and post-colonialism in Africa. Growing up there, Denis used to watch the old and damaged copies of war films sent from the United States. Because her parents wanted their children to finish their education in France, she moved with her mother and sister to a Parisian suburb at the age of 14, a country that she hardly knew at all. Denis initially studied economics, but later studied at the IDHEC, the French film school, where she graduated. Since 2002, she has been a Professor of Film at the European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Switzerland.

She started her film career by working as the assistant director for acclaimed filmmakers Wim Wenders and Jim Jarmusch in Paris, Texas (1984), Down by Law (1986) and Wings of Desire (1987). Her debut feature film Chocolat (1988), a semi-autobiographical meditation on African colonialism, was praised by critics and audiences alike as a remarkable first film and was selected for the Cannes Film Festival. With films such as US Go Home (1994), Nénette et Boni (1996), Beau Travail (1999), set in Africa; Trouble Every Day (2001), and Vendredi soir (2002), she established a reputation as a filmmaker who "has been able to reconcile the lyricism of French cinema with the impulse to capture the often harsh face of contemporary France." She returned to Africa again with White Material (2009) starring Isabelle Huppert, set in an unidentified country during a time of civil war. In 2017, she cast Juliette Binoche as the lead in Un beau soleil intérieur. Her first English-language debut film, High Life, is set in space, with Robert Pattinson as the lead and will premiere in 2018.

KATHRYN BIGELOW



Esta es bastante conocida, pero no la he visto y he querido nombrarla.

[quote]Kathryn Ann Bigelow (San Carlos, California, 27 de noviembre de 1951), más conocida como Kathryn Bigelow, es una directora de cine, guionista y productora estadounidense, especialmente conocida por películas como Near Dark, Point Break y, la ganadora de un Óscar, The Hurt Locker. Es la primera y única mujer en la historia que ha ganado el Óscar al mejor director y el premio al mejor director ("Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directing–Feature Film") del Sindicato de directores de Estados Unidos; ambos por The Hurt Locker.

Nació en San Carlos, California, hija de un directivo de una empresa de pinturas y una bibliotecaria. Estudió en la Universidad de Columbia, comenzó su carrera artística como pintora y algunas de sus obras fueron expuestas en el Whitney Museum de Nueva York. Fue miembro del grupo radical Art and Language y editó la revista teórica Semiotext. También fue agente de policía antes de dedicarse al cine.

Kathryn Bigelow está considerada como una directora atípica, pues sus temas de interés pertenecen al cine de acción, bien sea bélico, futurista, thriller e, incluso, de terror. Sus películas no siempre han tenido el beneplácito de la crítica.

Bigelow obtuvo reconocimiento en 1987 con el filme de terror Neared Darkess (Los Viajeros de la Noche). Después, en 1991 dirige Point Break (Le llaman Bodhi) protagonizada por Patrick Swayze y Keanu Reeves, con la que tuvo éxito tanto de crítica como de público.

Entre 1995 y 2002, Kathryn Bigelow realizó tres películas: Días extraños, El peso del agua y K-19 , en donde dirigió a algunos de los actores más importantes de Hollywood, como Harrison Ford, Sean Penn, Juliette Lewis, Liam Neeson y Ralph Fiennes.

Estuvo casada con James Cameron desde 1989 hasta 1991, y con él formó pareja artística en varias películas.

Ganó el premio Óscar a la mejor directora en 2010 por The Hurt Locker, siendo la única mujer en ganar en este género. El filme también se llevó el Oscar como mejor película.

¡Qué hilo tan interesante! Gracias por abrirlo.
He visto que habéis nombrado a Icíar Bollaín, una de las mejores directoras que hay actualmente. He visto hace poco MAIXABEL, que es una maravilla, un auténtico peliculón.
