"Nietzsche & Cinema" Screening, New York City, Jan. 27, 2006JTC writes: "Nietzsche & Cinema" Film Series The NIETZSCHE CIRCLE announces the inauguration of its film and discussion series NIETZSCHE & CINEMA is a recurring film series which will explore the relationship between Nietzsche’s philosophy and cinema, examining his influence on screenwriters, directors, film theorists such as Gilles Deleuze, as well as the affect of his aesthetic vision on cinema. Films will be screened which explicitly explore his life or philosophy or which embody the Nietzschean spirit: works in which a transvaluation of values is sought, or similar critiques of culture, religion, art, and politics are being made, while we will also examine the misappropriation, distortion, and abuse of Nietzsche’s ideas. When possible, directors and screenwriters will be invited to discuss their works with noted film critics, cinema historians, and philosophy professors. At the end of each session, a dialogue will be conducted with the spectators. The series will feature classic films, lesser known works, short and experimental films, as well as contemporary cinematic works. When possible, all works will be screened in their original format.Our first film screening occurs with the support of NYU’s Dept. of Cinema and will be of Alfred Hitchcock’s seminal film, "Rope," which was chosen by Tom Cohen, professor of American literary, critical, and cinematic studies at the University at Albany, and Richard Allen, Associate Professor of Cinema Studies at NYU.
