serial		Afterimage [Rochester, N.Y.]: Visual Studies Workshop, Call No: held v.5, no.1-v.14, no.2 May/June 1977-Sept. 1986 incomplete CorpAuthor: Visual Studies Workshop Source: US Place: [Rochester, N.Y.] Publisher: Visual Studies Workshop PhysDes: v. ill. 45 cm Subject: ART CINEMA Summary: Afterimage was founded in 1972 by photographer and curator Nathan Lyons (1930-2016). In the 1960’s, Lyons was the Assistant Director and Chief Curator at George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, as well as Editor of their in-house magazine, Image. Under his curatorial direction, the museum exhibited practitioners of the ‘snapshot aesthetic’, a documentary style of photography that captured the ordinary and quotidian. In 1969, Lyons left Eastman House to start the Visual Studies Workshop, a non-profit, artist-run education centre for photography and visual media, and then in 1972 he started Afterimage. The journal covers work across the visual arts, including photography, film and new media. Afterimage’s aim was to widen “the remit of art criticism and theoretical debate and [engage] directly with context, community and issues of accountability.” Editions featured writing by film critics and theorists such as Noël Burch, Jonathan Rosenbaum and B. Ruby Rich, as well as filmmakers Hollis Frampton and Derek Jarman. Afterimage continues to be published today by the University of California Press.

book		The cinema as art / Ralph Stephenson & J. R. Debrix Harmondsworth: Penguin, 1969. Call No: 63 STE Author: Stephenson, Ralph; Debrix, J. R. CorpAuthor: Penguin Edition: Revised edition, reprint Place: Harmondsworth Publisher: Penguin PubDate: 1969 PhysDes: 270 p., [32] p. of plates ; 18 cm Subject: AESTHETICS; ART AND THE CINEMA; ART CINEMA; EDITING; CINEMATOGRAPHY; SOUND; COSTUMES; MAKE-UP; COLORIZATION; LIGHTING Summary: “The cinema as art”, to those brought up on the “movie show and bubblegum” image, must look like a pretentious contradiction in terms. As this book demonstrates, however, the cinema stands for an art form which is almost unique in immediacy and scope. The authors explain, with over 300 examples taken from films of every country and period, the stages by which a director isolates what is mentally and emotionally significant in a situation. The reader is shown, from the inside, how the director may achieve this end by exploiting any or all of the cinematic techniques from script-planning to final editing, from camera movement to costume from sound to soft-focus.

Edited by one of the leading British authorities in the field, The Documentary Film Book is an essential guide to current thinking on documentary film. In a series of fascinating essays, key international experts discuss the theory of documentary, outline current understandings of its history (from pre-Flaherty to the post-Griersonian world of digital 'i-Docs'), survey documentary production (from Africa to Europe, and from the Americas to Asia), consider documentaries by marginalised minority communities, and assess its contribution to other disciplines and arts. Brought together here in one volume, these scholars offer compelling evidence as to why, over the last few decades, documentary has come to the centre of screen studies. -- BOOK BLURB ISBN: 9781844573417 Contents: Acknowledgments -- Notes on Contributors -- Foreword: Why Documentaries Matter -- Introduction: The Filmed Documentary --; PART I: DOCUMENTARY VALUES -- The Question of Evidence, the Power of Rhetoric and Documentary Film: Bill Nichols -- 'I'll Believe It When I Trust the Source': Documentary Images and Visual Evidence: Carl Plantinga -- 'The Performance Documentary': The Performing Film-Maker, the Acting Subject: Stella Bruzzi -- On Truth, Objectivity and Partisanship: The Case of Michael Moore: Douglas Kellner -- CGI and the End of Photography as Evidence: Taylor Downing -- Drawn From Life: The Animated Documentary: Andy Glynne -- Dramadoc?

In Part One, he gives an overview of what he terms the "Euro-American art film," which is characterized by prominent use of the English language, a European art-film director, cast and crew from at least two countries, and a stylistic mixing of European art film and American entertainment. The second part of Lev's study examines in detail five examples of the Euro-American art film: Contempt (Jean-Luc Godard, 1963), Blow-up (Michelangelo Antonioni, 1966), The Canturbury Tales (Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1972), and The Last Emperor (Bernardo Bertolucci, 1987). These case studies reveal that the European art film has had a strong influence on world cinema and that many Euro-American films are truly cultural blends rather than abject takeovers by Hollywood cinema." -- Back cover Notes: Filmography: p.

Film critics and scholars alike often regard these movies as the work of visionary auteurs, hailing directors like Michael Haneke and Lars von Trier as heirs to a tradition of transgressive art. In this provocative new book, Mattias Frey ofers a very different perspective on these films, exposing how they are also calculated products, designed to achieve global notoriety in a competitive marketplace. Extreme Cinema includes original interviews with the programmers of several leading international film festivals and with niche distributors and exhibitors, giving readers a revealing look at how these institutions enjoy a symbiotic relationship with the 'taboo-breakers' of arthouse cinema." -- BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index ISBN: 9780813576497 Contents: 1.

Cohen argues that as cinema has become a more dominant media, the novel itself has adapted to take on more cinematic qualities and vice versa.

Summary: "At a moment when the cinema is struggling to escape from both the Hollywood blockbuster and the art form, FILM WORLD is a reminder of the true nature of cinema itself. In a personal survey of astonishing range and uncommon perception of Ivor Montagu shows us the facts of the film as art form, as undustry, and as a means of social communication. The four parts of the book - Film as Science, Film as Art, Film as Commodity, and Film as Vehicle - cover every aspect of the medium - its history, its resemblance to and difference from other arts, its aesthetic laws, the compound effects of sound and vision, the business side and in particular the inherent tendency towards monopoly."

Her films, including 'Chocolat', 'Beau travail' and 'White Material' explore connections between national experience and individual circumstance, visualising the complications of such dualities. Following a foreword by Wim Wenders, international contributors explore the themes she addresses in her films, such as kinship and landscape, neo-colonialism and New French Extremity. Original interviews with an editor, actor and two composers familiar with Denis's working style and with Denis herself, also reveal fresh facets of this intrepid filmmaker." - BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes list of illustrations, bibliographic references and index ISBN: 9781848859548 Contents: --List of illustrations -- Notes on contributors -- Preface -- Foreword: 'Klarchen' --Part I Interviews -- 'To let the image sing': Conversations with Dickon Hinchliffe and Stuart Staples: Martine Beugnet -- Interview with Nelly Quettier: Kirsten Johnson -- Interview with Alex Descas: Kirsten Johnson -- Interview with Claire Denis: Jean-Luc Nancy -- -- Part II Relations -- La famille Denis: Catherine Wheatley -- Reinventing community, or non-relational relations in Claire Denis's 'I Can't Sleep': Sam Ishii-Gonzales -- Beyond the other: grafting relations in the films of Claire Denis: James S.

And yet in the last thirty years art cinema has flourished worldwide. The emergence of East Asian and Latin American new waves, the reinvigoration of European film, the success of Iranian directors, and the rise of the film festival have transformed the landscape of world cinema. This book brings into focus art cinema's core internationalism, demonstrating its centrality to uunderstanding film as a global phenomenon. This collection reassesses the field of art cinema in light of recent scholarship on world film cultures. In adddition to analysis of key regions and films, the essays cover topics including theories of the film image; industrial, aesthetic, and political histories; and art film's intersections with debates on genre, sexuality, new media forms, and postcolonial cultures. Global Art Cinema brings together a diverse group of scholars in a timely conversation that reaffirms the category of art cinema as relevant, provocative, and, in fact, fundamental to contemporary film studies." -- BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index ISBN: 9780195385632 Contents: Introduction : the impurity of art cinema / Rosalind Galt, Karl Schoonover -- Beyond Europe : on parametric transcendence / Mark Betz -- The fantastic trajectory of pink art cinema from Stalin to Bush / Sharon Hayashi -- Toward an inclusive, exclusive approach to art cinema / David Andrews -- Unthinking heterocentrism : bisexual representability in art cinema / Maria San Filippo -- Interactive art cinema : between "old" and "new" media with Un chien Andalou and eXistenZ / Adam Lowenstein -- Art/cinema and cosmopolitanism today / Brian Price -- Between auditorium and gallery : perception in Apichatpong Weerasethakul's films and installations / Jihoon Kim -- Pasolini's exquisite flowers : the "cinema of poetry" as a theory of art cinema / John David Rhodes -- From index to figure in the European art film : the case of The conformist / Angelo Restivo -- Surrealism in art and film : face and time / Angela Dalle Vacche -- The volcano and the barren hill : Gabriel Figueroa and the space of art cinema / Patrick Keating -- The essay film as a cinema of ideas / Timothy Corrigan -- The cloud-capped star : Ritwik Ghatak on the horizon of global art cinema / Manishita Dass -- Notes on art cinema and the emergence of sub-Saharan film / Philip Rosen -- Disentangling the international festival circuit : genre and Iranian cinema / Azadeh Farahmand -- European art cinema, affect, and postcolonialism : Herzog, Denis, and the Dardenne brothers / E.

Edition: 2nd Edition Source: UK Place: London Publisher: bfi Publishing PubDate: 2011 PhysDes: viii, 196 : ill. ; 25 cm. Subject: EXPERIMENTAL FILMS; VIDEO ART; ART CINEMA; AVANT-GARDE FILMS Summary: Avant-garde film is almost indefinable. It is in a constant state of change and redefinition. In his highly-acclaimed history of experimental film, A.L. Rees tracks the movement of the film avant-garde between the cinema and modern art (with its postmodern coda). But he also reconstitutes the film avant-garde as an independent form of art practice with its own internal logic and aesthetic discourse. In this revised and updated edition, Rees introduces experimental film and video to new readers interested in the wider cinema, as well as offering a guide to enthusiasts of avant-garde film and new media arts. Ranging from Cézanne and Dada, via Cocteau, Brakhage and Le Grice, to the new wave of British film and video artists from the 1990s to the present day, this expansive study situates avant-garde film between the cinema and the gallery, with many links to sonic as well as visual arts. The new edition includes a review of current scholarship in avant-garde film history and includes updated reading and viewing lists. It also features a new introduction and concluding chapter, which assess the rise of video projection in the gallery since the millennium, and describe new work by the latest generation of experimental film-makers. The new edition is richly illustrated with images of the art works discussed Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index. ISBN: 9781844576203 Contents: Pt. 1. The canonical avant-garde.

Call No: 62 PEU Author: Peucker, Brigitte Source: US Place: Princeton, New Jersey Publisher: Princeton University Press PubDate: 1995 PhysDes: xi, 227 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm Series: Princeton paperbacks Subject: ART AND THE CINEMA; ART CINEMA; AESTHETICS; DEATH IN FILMS; GERMANY; NARRATIVE IN FILMS; PERCEPTION Summary: "Film, a latecomer to the realm of artistic media, alludes to, absorbs, and undermines the discourses of the other arts--literature and painting especially--in order to carve out a position for itself among them. Exposing the anxiety in film's relation to its rival arts, Brigitte Peucker analyzes central issues involved in generic boundary crossing as they pertain to film and situates them in a theoretical framework. The figure of the human body takes center stage in Peucker's innovative study, for it is through this figure that the conjunction of literary and painterly discourses persistently articulates itself. It is through the human body, too, that film's consciousness of itself as a hybrid text and as a "machine for simulation" makes itself deeply felt." -- taken from back cover Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 175-213), index, and notes.

His theory was at every point elaborated in direct, vigorous relation with practice; his doctrine of kino-eye, breaking with film's subjection to traditional narrative purposes, was a passionate call to action. Vertov's spirit of revolutionary optimism leaps from his pages. Articles, memoranda, speeches, letters, proposals for films, poured from his pen - explaining, defining, persuading. In voluminous notebooks and diaries he proposed a cinema implicated in the process of revolutionary transformation, one that would play a leading role in the construction of socialism." -- BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes index; Filmography: p.

Publisher: Women in the Visual Arts Collective PubDate: 1976 PhysDes: v. : ill. ; 30 cm Subject: ART CINEMA. AUSTRALIA; FEMINISM AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA; WOMEN AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA Summary: Lip was an interdisciplinary feminist arts journal founded in 1976 in Carlton. In 1975, one of Lip’s founders, Suzanne Spunner, coordinated the Melbourne edition of the International Women’s Film Festival, held at the Palais Theatre and RMIT. The festival was held in every state capital across Australia and was provoked by the lack of women’s films at the 1975 Sydney Film Festival. The festival was a success and proved to dismissive distributors that there was an appetite and an audience for women’s films. To compliment the festival, Spunner, Christine Johnston, Pat Longmore and Sue Johnston, had prepared related articles, interviews and reviews for a special edition of Cinema Papers devoted to women and film. When the issue was inexplicably pulled, Cinema Papers purportedly agreed to publish only a short piece on the festival - for a sum below the usual writer’s commission. Outraged, the group resolved to publish a feminist film magazine. With the “paltry proceeds” from Cinema Papers and some jumble sales on the streets of Carlton, as well as the support of the Women’s Art Register and the Women’s Theatre Group, Lip was born. Lip was a strikingly visual publication, which featured artworks, essays, interviews, articles and critical reviews. The editorial team of Lip functioned as a “collective of feminists” and held open evaluation meetings after each issue to critically discuss the ideas raised in the publication. The magazine featured the work of many highly regarded Australian artists, including Ponch Hawkes and Mirka Mora - the artist behind the image here of a Melbourne tram. Lip magazine ceased print publication in 1984.
