Bad Film Histories is a vital work that unsettles the authority of the archive, examining the imprecisions and absences that define film history and its archives. Taking ethnographic cinema as a crucial case study, Katherine Groo challenges standard ways of thinking and writing about film history and questions widespread assumptions about what film artifacts are and what makes them meaningful. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781517900335Donation: Senses of CinemaContents: Introduction: Untimely Historiographies, Ethnographic Particularities -- 1.

Filmosophy / Daniel Frampton London: Wallflower Press, 2006.

It coalesces twentieth-century ideas of film as thought (from Hugo Münsterberg to Gilles Deleuze) into a practical theory of "film-thinking," arguing that film style conveys poetic ideas through a constant dramatic "intent" about the characters, spaces, and events of film. Discussing contemporary filmmakers such as Béla Tarr and the Dardenne brothers, this timely contribution to the study of film and philosophy will provoke debate among audiences and filmmakers alike." - taken from publisher website.Notes: "a manifesto for a radically new way of understanding cinema"--Cover. -- Includes bibliographical references (p. 214-247) and indexISBN: 1904764843Contents: 1.

With reference to thinkers such as Aristotle, Wittgenstein, Girard, Derrida and Cavell, it argues that Renoir's work engages with and elucidates some of the great philosophical questions. In particular the films are shown to reflect on the natures of murder and its links with desire, communitiy, ethics and the mystery of other minds." - TAKEN FROM BACK COVERISBN: 9781905674633Donation: donated by Senses of Cinema, 2012Contents: Film as philosophy: Cavell, Deleuze, Z iz ek and Renoir -- Scepticism and the mystery of other minds: La chienne -- Murderous desires: Le crime de Monsieur Lange and La be^te humaine -- Friendship, fraternity and community: La grande illusion -- Making and breaking rules: La re`gle du jeu -- Conclusion: intimations of otherness.
