The most notable instance of celluloid rebellion was The Wild One (1953) that saw Marlon Brando as the smouldering, leather-clad leader of the Black Rebels Motorcycle Club (no need to elaborate on the very clear influence on rock music this has had).

While such a list is by no means comprehensive, it's illustrative of television's track record in prying open what a 1990s documentary called the "celluloid closet" -- a history perhaps best defined less as a steady march than a herky-jerky series of steps forward.

Compiled by San Diego State University and now in its 18th year, "The Celluloid Ceiling" report comes a month after the Directors Guild of America, deflecting the A.C.L.U.'s claim that the organization did not sufficiently back women directors, released its own similarly bleak figures.

In one scene, director Neil Marshall (The Descent, the upcoming Hellboy reboot) likens the shock of Leigh's violent bathtime murder to the urban legend regarding the audience for an early Lumière brothers film terrified by the approach of a celluloid train, believing it was real.

"Fanny and Alexander" is set more than a century ago, but its musings on love and loss are timeless, and the ability of a celluloid source to leap the period in which it is set is surely helpful when bringing it to the stage.

Also released today, the 2019 Celluloid Ceiling report conducted by Dr. Martha M. Lauzen of Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film at San Diego State University revealed some interesting findings about women working in below the line roles in Hollywood.

Deserving of their wins as Regina King, Spike Lee, Ruth E. Carter, and Hannah Beachler may be, their accolades were doled out by the same voting body that chose the celluloid equivalent of an "ALL lives matter" bumper sticker as the best film of 2018.

The result is a dazzling, lawless spectacle, pumped so full of origin stories, redemption arcs, heroic introductions, orange villain flares, and blue lightning that it buckles under the weight of trying to cram around four hours' worth of storytelling into two hours of celluloid.

The film concerns a twisted triangle of doomed love and hate and contains one of the bleakest endings ever printed on celluloid, where a man and woman are beat to death in a rock quarry while most of the town watches from a distance.

We spoke to some of the composers, music supervisors, and executive members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences pushing to restore gender equality in the film industry to find out what's creating this celluloid ceiling and what can be done to break it.

Yes, they're a British doom metal institution—but they're also a celluloid wormhole, a reading list, an aberration in the fabric of space and time who have fed generations of freaks from a bubbling cauldron of cult cinema, bizarre literature, and subcultural reference points from the interzone.

He's strutted across the stage of Berlin's famed Maxim Gorki Theatre, both as an electrical technician and an actor; played everything from a drag queen to a medieval knight on celluloid; voiced a puppet on a long-running TV show; and worked with Rammstein's Christian "Flake" Lorenz.

Despite their major successes, a recent study by the annual Celluloid Ceiling from San Diego State University found that women comprised just 8 percent of directors working on the top 250 Hollywood hits of 2018 — a decrease from the 11 percent they made up in 2017.

"FILM," the installation Ms. Dean made for Tate Modern in response to her existential epiphany, is a silent, 11-minute, 35mm looped film on what appears to be a giant vertical strip of celluloid, projected onto a 43-foot-high monolith in the London museum's Turbine Hall.

Seeing 8mm film, pornographic or not, is a rare experience in the "Netflix and chill" era, and the opportunity to hear that whir of celluloid passing through a projector at 24 frames a second for 25 cents a pop was not one I could pass up.

Now, a new series at BAMcinématek, Pioneers: First Women Filmmakers, is poised to enhance our view of cinema's history with a drastically different angle — that of women fighting since the very beginning of celluloid for a role that allowed them to express their creativity, and to bend social norms.

There is the technical badness of The Room—a plot devoid of rational motivation, subplots that go nowhere, establishing shots that make no sense, mixing of digital and celluloid photography, bad green screen backgrounds, pointless jogging sequences, and why do the characters keep gathering up on the roof?

Nothing is messy, but everything is relaxed: When you enter a room, you might pause to glance at the novels and monographs or the works on the walls (the 2006 Paul Winstanley landscape above a fireplace, say, or the 1998 Carter Potter celluloid strips above the couple's bed).

It's the celluloid moment that best matches the takeaway lyrics of reputation, centering on a woman who has been through the celebrity ringer (with the battle scars and Twitter hashtags to prove it), shed a few layers, built a few protective walls and became a more private, yet happier, person.

Meanwhile, the Center for the Study of Women in Television & Film, in its most recent Celluloid Ceiling report, found that women comprised 20 percent "of all directors, writers, producers, executive producers, editors, and cinematographers working on the top 250 domestic grossing films" of 2018 — an increase of 2 percent over 2017.

What makes digitalization different from earlier changes in media, and the reason it is not wrong to call it a revolution, is that a single technology is promising to absorb a huge number of existing technologies, from paper, vinyl, and celluloid to clocks, maps, newspapers, radios, cameras, telephones, lecture halls.

But for a person to unironically enjoy the crime against celluloid that is the 2016 Ben-Hur—in which nothing, not the costumes, script, acting, or camerawork betrays that slightest competence—that person would have so little in common with other humans as to constitute some kind of atavistic mutation.

Disney's boss has confirmed that Marvel will outlive all of us like some sort of superpowered celluloid cockroach that people love, while we also learned that Ben Affleck's Dark Knight will actually be the Darkest Knight, and—perhaps most shocking of all—that the third Thor movie might actually be good. Shocked?

Helen Greiner, co-founder, iRobot Helen Greiner, co-founder, iRobot From C. A. Rotwang in "Metropolis" to Tony Stark in the Marvel movies, there have been plenty of cinematic explorations of robot builders, but the story of iRobot co-founder Helen Greiner might be more interesting than anything yet committed to celluloid.

But today's screens, no matter the platform, are perfectly suited to actresses whose emotional lives are laid as bare as Elizabeth Bishop poems — while male movie stars seem stuck in the rust-covered school of the Wounded Male Animal, which parodies itself in an endless loop of tough-guy celluloid or emo-muteness.

" Of the pop star's singing, Duralde said, "I rate [Judy] Garland's performance 'The Man That Got Away' as one of the all-time great musical performances on celluloid, so I mean it as high praise when I say that while none of the numbers in this version surpasses that moment, some of them shockingly close.

Although this retrospective isn't all celluloid, many titles are showing in their original 35-millimeter format, including rarities by such greats as Budd Boetticher ("Wings of the Hawk," Sunday) and Douglas Sirk (whose flawed but fascinating "Taza, Son of Cochise," Tuesday, offers the cognitive dissonance of seeing Rock Hudson cast as an Apache chief).

Making a rare foray into musicals, Ms. Aberg locates the necessary heart to the relationship between Audrey and Seymour that can sometimes be sidelined by this musical's tendency toward camp; its origins, after all, lie in a 1960 celluloid schlockfest by Roger Corman that exists at some remove from the classical canon that is Ms. Aberg's usual home.

In the latest Celluloid Ceiling report, Martha Lauzen, head of the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film at San Diego State University, looked at, among other things, a larger group of 21 films, the top 22020, and found that women in key behind-the-scenes jobs were outnumbered four to one by men.

And in Hollywood, where any juicy, stranger-than-fiction yarn is inevitably exploited to death, star-driven dramas ranging from 1992's "Hoffa" (starring Jack Nicholson in a regrettable putty nose and a gruff, Hoosier-state honk) to Martin Scorsese's new Netflix epic, "The Irishman" (with Al Pacino as Hoffa), continue to trundle off the celluloid production line.

Based on a play attributed to Kim Il-sung, The Flower Girl committed to celluloid the story of a Korean peasant lass much tormented by Japanese imperialists until her brother, a member of Kim Il-sung's Liberation Army, arrives to save the day: Kim II not only contributed to the script but also worked on the casting, editing, and staging.

But the defining roles are shrewdly inhabited not just by Ms. Loftus and Mr. Needham, as the fractured couple whose private lives become a celluloid prospect, but also by Julian Ovenden and Indira Varma as the "facilitators" in their mercenary midst, and Ian Gelder as a onetime big-deal playwright who is seen in the closing moments on the road to nowhere.

For the next three years, Mr. Moreno made dozens of series of resin figures based on the obsessions of his youth, re-envisioning merchandise for cult movies, like "Critters" (2100), which is about volleyball-size aliens with spiky hair and a taste for flesh, and "Creepshow" (230), a compendium of short horror stories, featuring celluloid nightmares about cockroach infestations and invasive alien vegetation.

And for all that the movie offered up such time-tested standards as "Give A Little Whistle" and "When You Wish Up A Star," its newfound iteration feels curiously lacking in music: A wiser approach might have fleshed out the celluloid source with some original tunes, as Disney did when it brought "Mary Poppins" to the stage over a decade ago.

"Dawson City" tells a number of stories: about how the addition of certain chemicals to cotton created an explosive (nicknamed gun cotton) that was developed into celluloid motion picture film; about a settlement of Native Americans that was muscled out of existence by white settlers trekking north during the gold rushes of the mid- and late-19th centuries; about the boom and bust cycles of Dawson City itself, which burned to the ground once a year for the first nine years of its existence.
