Radiohead-Nosferatu Mash Returns to Cineforum
Those who like their movie-going experiences to be a little more multi-media would be advised to head over to Cineforum on Monday night. The theatre is screening The Darkside of Oz and Kid Dracula, mash-ups of the classic films the Wizard of Oz and Nosferatu with the music of Pink Floyd and Radiohead respectively.
Even the most straight laced college student has attempted a DIY mash-up of the Wizard of Oz and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon at home. But Kid Dracula, which synchs the 1922 flick with songs from the Brit-rockers OK Computer and Kid A albums adds a new twist to the equation. Watching the Wizard of Oz without the dialogue requires familiarity with the storyline. Pink Floyd's music recontextualizes the entire film. Nosferatu is a silent film driven by exposition and dialogue written on title cards. Adding modern music probably won't distract from the narrative and will enhance the experience rather than manipulate it.
I've never seen Nosferatu in its original form or in its Kid Dracula incarnation, but the choice of soundtrack seems apt for what's still considered one creepy vampire flick. (check out Shadow of the Vampire, a fictional making of Nosferatu where the always weird Willem DaFoe ups the icky factor as a real life vampire hired to play the title character). And while it is less than a decade old, Kid A especially still feels and sounds icy and distant, leaving organic flourishes lurking in the shadows between the electronic blips and bleeps.
Kid Dracula plays at Cineforum July 21 and 28 at 9 pm.

Folosirea jocului didactic ca activitate de completare cu întreaga clasa,aduce variatie în procesul de instruire a copiilor, facându-l mai atractiv.
Fiecare joc didactic cuprinde urmatoarele laturi constitutive :
- continuturi
- sarcina didactica
- regulile jocului
- actiunea de joc
Prima latura-continuturi-este constituit din cunostintele anterioare ale copiilor însusite în cadrul activitatilor comune cu întrega clasa,cunostinte ce se refera la plante, animale,anotimpuri,reprezentari matematice,istorice,etc.
Cea de a doua componenta a jocului-sarcina didactica-poate sa apara sub forma unei probleme de gândire, de recunoastere, denumire, reconstituire,
comparatie,ghicire. Jocurile didactice pot avea acelasi continut, acestea dobândind un alt caracter, datorita sarcinilor didactice pe care le au de rezolvat,de fiecare data altele.
A treia latura-regulile jocului-decurge din însasi denumirea ei.
Regulile sunt menite sa arate copiilor cum sa se joace,cum sa rezolve problema respectiva.Totodata regulile îndeplinesc o functie reglatoare asupra relatiilor dintre copii.
Ultima latura-actiunea de joc-cuprinde momente de asteptare, surprize, ghicire,întrecere si fac ca rezolvarea sarcinii didactice sa fie placuta si atractiva pentru elevi.
Daca vin în completarea lectiei,jocurile didactice,pot fi grupate dupa obiectivele urmarite si tipul lectiei.
