VERGILIUS

Vincenzo Capozzoli presents VERGILIUS, a collaborative platform for studying and promoting the heritage of the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, which consists in Greek antiquities, a model of the ancient city of Rome, a collection of pottery sherds from the Near East, a corpus of stamp seals from ancient Iran, several thousands of slides and photographs, the archives of former professors, a collection of plaster casts and a film library. Since October 2011, these collections have been digitized and organised into archives and virtual exhibitions. This work has proved a valuable training instrument for students, who learn about the objects and their history but also significantly improve their IT skills.

Professional and personal strategies of documentary filmmakers in Brazil: the case of the State of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais.

Between 2012 and 2019, this qualitative sociological research was part of a documentary "boom" moment in Brazil, in terms of production and international recognition. Faced with a bottleneck in terms of their distribution, a growing number of festivals have opened up for documentaries, not counting the historical festival "É tudo Verdade" (São Paulo). This period also corresponds to a time when attempts at policies in favor of documentary films were made by the Federation and the Ministry of Culture (MinC) – public channel TV Brasil, TV Cultura, Doc.TV... These various advances have allowed the expression of a "black" cinema (Joel Zito Araujo), LGBT concerns (Karla Holanda), women’s rights (Helena Solberg and Susanna Lira) and the possibility for indigenous people to seize digital tools to reflect their own realities (Vincent Carelli, Video nas aldeias). Thus, while the Brazilian authorities were carrying out unfinished policies facing the weight of the private oligopolistic sector, it was interesting to analyze how documentary filmmakers developed their professional strategies. From this perspective, fourteen directors were the subject of semi-structured interviews in the state of Rio de Janeiro and three in Minas Gerais. In addition, producers and festival managers were also contacted. But the arrival of the Bolsonaro government caused a real rift. Against a backdrop of cultural war, fake news aimed at discrediting artistic circles, the takeover of the National Cinema Agency (ANCINE) and the abandonment of the São Paulo film library, cuts from major corporate sponsors, and beyond, Brazilian documentary filmmakers have found themselves strangers in their own country.

Influence of low Bi contents on phase transformation properties of VO2 studied in a VO2:Bi thin film library

A VO2:Bi thin-film library was fabricated by reactive co-sputtering. The phase transformation temperature of VO2:Bi increases from 74.7 to 76.4 °C by 8 K/at% Bi in the range of 0.08–0.29 at% suggesting an effect of charge doping from Bi3+.

Combinatorial Science for Condensed Matter Physics and Metal Thin-film Study

In condensed matter physics and materials science, we all traverse artificially designed space with a variation of interest: e.g., compositions, defects, microstructures, etc. The space is sometimes very immense and multi-dimensional. Thus, we take a long and expensive journey and may encounter many puzzling situations. Combinatorial science, based on thin-film library synthesis strategies and high-throughput characterization, may promise joy and outcomes in your research journey. Here, we discuss the necessity and possibilities of the combinatorial approach for a state-of-the-art research in condensed matter physics and for the study of thin metal films.

El patrimonio cinematográfico y audiovisual en la Biblioteca y Filmoteca de Navarra

RESUMEN El artículo constituye una aproximación a los orígenes del patrimonio cinematográfico y audiovisual de Navarra y de las políticas públicas de conservación patrimonial hasta la reciente configuración jurídica de una Filmoteca de Navarra. LABURPENA Nafarroako zinemazko eta ikusentzunezko ondareari hurbilpena da artikulu hau. Horrekin batera, ondaren kontserbatzeko hartu diren neurri publikoak jasotzen dira, Nafarroako Filmoteka legalki eratu aurretik. ABSTRACT The article enlightens the history of moving images heritage of Navarre and the origins of film preservation public policies until the setting up of Navarra Film Library.
