Essay (3-4 pages; double spaced; font: New Times Roman):
Address the following essay prompt:
Analyze and compare the perspectives on the intersection between the past, personal/public memories, and historical narratives presented in Arnon Goldfinger’s The Flat (2011) and Joseph Cedar’s Footnote (2011). Address the degree to which—and the manner in which—the past can (or cannot) be captured and represented in personal memory, public memory, and works of scholarship. Illustrate your analysis with relevant evidence from the documentary and the film.
I am sending a note about the footnotes for the essay.
Please use the following format when citing (with the Chicago Manual of Style) a movie or documentary for the first time in the essay:
Title of Movie or Documentary, directed by Director’s First Name Last Name (Release year; City: Studio/Distributor, release year), medium, timestamp as Hour:Minute:Second-Hour:Minute:Second.
Here is a footnote example for the movie Footnote:
Footnote, directed by Joseph Cedar (2011; New York, NY: Sony Pictures Classics, 2011), Academic Video Online, 0:45:34-1:12:56.
And here is a footnote example for the documentary The Flat:
The Flat, directed by Arnon Goldfinger (2013; New York, N.Y.: IFC Films: MPI Home Video, 2013), Swank Motion Pictures, Inc., 0:45:34-1:12:56.
After the first reference for the movie and the documentary, in all subsequent footnotes please use an abbreviated version as follows (Title of Movie or Documentary, timestamp as Hour:Minute:Second-Hour:Minute:Second):
Footnote, 0:45:34-1:12:56.
The Flat, 0:45:34-1:12:56.
