Each fall, The Cine-Files<\/em> has the pleasure of covering the Savannah Film Festival.\u00a0 Sponsored by Savannah College of Art and Design, the yearly festival boasts more than 40,000 attendees and features a diverse array of first-run blockbusters, cutting edge indies, European art films, as well as student and professional competition films.\u00a0 The 75-plus screenings, in addition to the panels, post-film Q-and-A\u2019s, workshops, and lectures, offer cinephiles near and far a unique opportunity to indulge themselves in an 8-day bacchanal of sensory and intellectual provocation in the otherwise laid-back setting of Savannah, Georgia.\u00a0 This year\u2019s notable guests included 7 honorees:\u00a0 Stan Lee, Matt Dillon, John Goodman, Diane Lane, Geoffrey Fletcher, John Gatins and Michelle Monaghan.\u00a0 The Cinema Studies Department hosted two guest scholars during the festival, Timothy Corrigan (University of Pennsylvania) and Peter Hitchcock (City University of New York).\u00a0 Corrigan spoke about his recent book The Essay Film: From Montaigne, After Marker<\/em> (Oxford UP), winner of the 2012 Katherine Singer Kov\u00e1cs Award for the best book in film and media studies.\u00a0 Both Corrigan and Hitchcock joined SCAD\u2019s Cinema Studies faculty and visiting critic Claudia Puig (USA Today<\/em>) for the panel \u201cA Critical Eye on Film: the Cinema Studies Perspective,\u201d featured below in its entirety.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This\u00a0 yearly panel models how a cinema studies perspective fosters a certain kind of dialogue about film, allowing SCAD faculty (Dr. Roger Rawlings, Dr. Tracy Cox-Stanton, and Dr. Chad Newsom) and invited guests (Dr. Timothy Corrigan, University of Pennsylvania; Dr. Peter Hitchcock, City University of New York; and critic Claudia Puig, USA Today<\/em>) to engage one another and the audience in a discussion of recent trends in film history and current film innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A Place at the Table<\/em>, by Ingela Hartman<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Brief Encounters,<\/em> by Jae Matthews<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Fat Kid Rules the World<\/em>, by Ben Barbour<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Nobody Walks<\/em>, by Kyle Taubken<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n On the Road, <\/em>by Kate Newell<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Quartet, <\/em>by Scotty Barnhart<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Rust and Bone, <\/em>by Scotty Barnhart<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Silver Linings Playbook,<\/em> by Kyle Taubken<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Violet and Daisy,<\/em> by Steve Drum<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2012 Savannah Film Festival Honorees<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Diane Lane, interviewed by Chad Newsom<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n John Gatins, interviewed by Kyle Taubken<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n On Stan Lee, by Erik Day<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Cine-Files<\/em> wishes to extend a sincere “thank you” to the employees of the Savannah Film Festival and Savannah College of Art and Design who made possible our coverage of the festival:\u00a0 Tarana Mayes, Aaron Pompei, Danny Filson, Len Cripe, Sheila Bolda, and Christine Routhier.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Each fall, The Cine-Files has the pleasure of covering the Savannah Film Festival.\u00a0 Sponsored by Savannah College of Art and Design, the yearly festival boasts more than 40,000 attendees and features a diverse array of first-run blockbusters, cutting edge indies, European art films, as well as student and professional competitionRead the Rest…<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":4,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"fullwidth.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-865","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/issue3.thecine-files.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/865","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/issue3.thecine-files.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/issue3.thecine-files.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/issue3.thecine-files.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/issue3.thecine-files.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=865"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"http:\/\/issue3.thecine-files.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/865\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2654,"href":"http:\/\/issue3.thecine-files.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/865\/revisions\/2654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/issue3.thecine-files.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=865"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}“Sex and the City:\u00a0 A Festival Introduction” by Roger Rawlings<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n
