Lockhart on Horror
posted by Franco Romero
Liam Lockhart, interim associate chairman of The Film School, is teaching his International Horror Cinema class for the third time this spring semester. While the film lineup from previous semesters may change, Lockhart has promised that some of his more “obscure” favorites will be in store: The Devil’s Backbone, Lunacy and Wreck among others. Jackalope Magazine interviewed Lockhart to discuss both the class and his love of horror cinema. Jackalope Magazine: Can you start off by telling us a bit about your attraction to the horror genre? Why teach such a class? Liam Lockhart: I was going to say, you know a lot of people ask me ‘why horror as a topic?’ And I can tell you, for years when I was working in Hollywood, you know cutting stories for people or mixing films for them, invariably you’d get into conversations and they’d say ‘so what’s your favorite genre of films?’ And I would always kind of turn my head, put my hand in front of my mouth, cough and say ‘horror.’ They’d say, ‘what?’ And I would go, ‘horror.’ They’d go, ‘no, I can’t believe you like horror films, you seem much too sophisticated, much too intelligent.’ They obviously didn’t know me. [Laughs]… but for years, I was always in a position where I had to defend my love of horror films. And so when I finally found myself in the position to teach I thought, ‘well, OK, now here’s a chance.’ I thought if nothing else, I can prove to myself that I’m not alone in my love for horror films… This is only the third time now that I’ve offered this class and it’s been full to capacity. This way I know I’m not alone, I know there are other...
Chorus Concert
posted by Holly Pons
As eerie organ music flooded the First Presbyterian Church, a somber and haunting presence filled the room. Organist David Solem finished his piece with his back to the audience while SFUAD and St. John’s chorus members prepared to take the stage.“Rejoice in the Lamb” by Benjamin Britten was the first combined song performed by SFUAD and St. John’s on Nov. 19. Programs that were handed out before the concert contained lyrics so the crowd could follow along. This was helpful because it was near impossible to make out what they choirs were actually singing besides “rejoice in God.” As the first chorus came to a conclusion, Elise Stoffer took the church by storm with a powerful treble solo. The opera sounds coming from this woman were surprising and impressive. With program in hand, it was easy to follow along because otherwise it was, once again, difficult to articulate what it was she was saying. After Stoffer’s powerhouse performance came a few more soloists, including Anna Evanitz, Sara Cunningham, and last but certainly not least, Emiliano Jaime. When Jaime opened his mouth to sing, the whole church was taken by surprise. Jaime’s extremely low octaves and dynamic projection were a near perfect combination to tie up the solos. As the chorus wrapped up its last verse the crowd went wild with applause. Director Seven Paxton took a bow and said, “you’re dismissed.” The crowd chuckled and began filing out of the...
