Vanessa Gazy: Skin Was Once Just Skin, Metal Only Metal
http://vanessagabrielle.blogspot.com/2007/10/skin-was-once-just-skin-metal-only.html
Sunday, October 21, 2007. Skin Was Once Just Skin, Metal Only Metal. Such a proud little man he is, in his breeches and tucked in checkered shirt, stomping about efficiently with his camera over his shoulder, swapping it to the other every so often with practiced ease. Such a proud man with such a jaunty stride. His eyes are open, hyper-open and fixed to his camera lens, and he thinks everything is marvellous. My parents' young likenesses moving, talking, breathing. Man With The Movie Camera. Like seeing...

Sunday, October 21, 2007. We are ugly but we have the music. Croons Leonard Cohen in. The Chelsea Hotel No. 2. You told me yourself you preferred handsome men, but for me you would make an exception. My interest in this entry is primarily the cinematic. In relation to the aesthetic of. My internal movie screen (which has reappeared again and I wish I had named it something better to start with, but it seems the name has stuck) plays Wise Blood: The Movie. As opposed to a the certain very raw drabness.

Vanessa Gazy: Some Notes on Trains
http://vanessagabrielle.blogspot.com/2007/10/some-notes-on-trains_24.html
Wednesday, October 24, 2007. Some Notes on Trains. When I was a child I had a horror of the Gap. I had to be carried over it, clawing at the neck of whoever bore me over, my small heart pounding. I had panicky dreams that trains were falling from the sky in a dark, rust-coloured mass of industrial metal and screaming men. Perhaps I saw a film I shouldn't have when I was too young? Or was my horror organic, in which case - why? To the rhythmic clickety-clack. In Berlin: Symphony of a City. Rutmann and Ver...

Vanessa Gazy: The Camera is Doubtless a Boy (with a Fetish)
http://vanessagabrielle.blogspot.com/2007/10/camera-is-doubtless-boy-with-fetish.html
Saturday, October 20, 2007. The Camera is Doubtless a Boy (with a Fetish). I wrote an essay last year about Asian fetish pornography, and, perhaps a little perversely, recalled the material I had read for this assignment when I watched Wong's Shosho. Why? Jim is certainly not sexy in Piccadilly. What we see in the dismissal of Jim and Valentine's easy possession of her is echoed in an online forum called “ASIA’ZINE”, where a participant writes,. 2] Ibid, p.182. 3] Ibid, p. 183. 4] Ibid, p. 183.

Monday, October 29, 2007. Describe a “strange adventure” or “image sequence” motivated by two films on the unit of study, and any other films you might care to interpose. The Visceral Language of Film and the Surrealist "Strange Adventure". The lights go down… and a curtain opens… and then, the magic of cinema starts …Into a new world, which only can be visited because of this beautiful language of cinema.

Vanessa Gazy: Wet Dreams with Joseph Cornell
http://vanessagabrielle.blogspot.com/2007/10/wet-dreams-with-joseph-cornell.html
Wednesday, October 17, 2007. Wet Dreams with Joseph Cornell. Cross-legged on dirty sheets on YouTube on a lap top. In. S thinking (at the risk of smart-alecry), that's like watching Rose within a box within a box within a box. It was a Tuesday and I watched alone, with headphones on, the big expensive kind. At all, but only her in it. Fast forward, skip skip. Him again, through her eyes. Him sitting down,. Patting a dog,. 1] Victor Burgin, The Remembered Film, London: Reaktion Books, 2004, p. 14. 2] Ibid...

Vanessa Gazy: To Patricia Neal, Adoringly
http://vanessagabrielle.blogspot.com/2007/10/to-patricia-neal-adoringly_28.html
Sunday, October 28, 2007. To Patricia Neal, Adoringly. Dear Patricia Neal,. I must tell you I was afraid you would disappoint, and you did, in a way, at first. A beautiful book which inspires cinematic thought - and cast them leading roles in my in-house film adaptation. But I could not find Dominique. Nobody was good enough. And neither did yo. I loved The Fountainhead. I am a university student, Patricia Neal, and I have been doing a course on cinematic modernism. We have thus been discussing how a...
