This illuminating essay uses film scenes to tell of the forced cultural appropriation of a world-famous landscape. Monument Valley is one of the most recognizable landscapes in the world. Its iconographic use in American Westerns has had a lasting influence on stock photography, advertising, and tourism. The valley has been given mythical significance as an image of a “primitive West” firmly in the hands of white people and meant to be protected from intruders. The fact that Monument Valley is traditional Navajo territory has been obscured in the process. A radical examination of Monument Valley’s representation in cinema and advertising since John Ford’s Stagecoach (1939), The Taking scrutinizes how a site located on sovereign Navajo land came to embody the fantasy of the “Old West,” replete with self-perpetuating falsehoods, and why it continues to hold mythic significance in the global psyche.

The Suraj Israni Center for Cinematic Arts, Film Studies Program, and Center for Hellenic Studies are pleased to invite you to the screening of "Lynch/Oz" followed by Q&A with Alexandre O. Philippe on Saturday, May 20, 2023 at 5 p.m. at the Mosaic Building 113 in the North Torrey Pines Living and Learning Neighborhood. About the Film: The films of David Lynch and "The Wizard of Oz" have held a mirror to each other for decades. "Lynch/Oz" explores one of the most fascinating puzzles in the history of motion pictures: the enduring symbiosis between America’s primordial fairytale and David Lynch’s singular brand of popular surrealism. About Alexandre O. Philippe: Swiss-American filmmaker Alexandre O. Philippe has written and directed numerous award-winning films and documentaries, many of which take on the role of unpacking the most influential works of master filmmakers. His most recent film, "78/52: Hitchcock’s Shower Scene," is a documentary about Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic shower scene from Psycho. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and screened extensively at festivals before its release by IFC Films. The documentary explores the intangible cinematic space between the shots and delves into Hitchcock’s genius in unprecedented fashion. It is the first feature-length investigation into the art, craft, and influence of a single extraordinary scene. Philippe holds a master’s degree in dramatic writing from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and is creative director at Exhibit A Pictures. Other past works include "Doc of the Dead," "The People vs. George Lucas," and an ongoing series of short films for The Criterion Collection titled "Double Exposure." Over the years, he has conducted numerous film analyses and written seminars at schools, universities, film festivals, and museums around the world, featuring in-depth deconstructions of classic and contemporary films. Philippe has also served on several film-festival juries, including the Edinburgh International Film Festival, Rome Film Festival, and New Zealand Film Awards. Location: The Mosaic 113 Auditorium is located in the Suraj Israni Center for Cinematic Arts at UC San Diego. Parking: The closest visitor parking is located in the Scholars Parking underground parking structure. Weekend parking is $2/hour. Questions: Email surajisranicenter@ucsd.edu.
