Anxious cinephilia : pleasure and peril at the movies / Sarah Keller New York: Columbia University Press,

Keller reframes the history of cinephilia from the earliest days of film through the French New Wave and into the streaming era, arguing that love and fear have shaped the cinematic experience from its earliest days. This anxious love for the cinema marks both institutional practices and personal experiences, from the curation of the moviegoing experience to the creation of community and identity through film festivals to posting on social media. Through a detailed analysis of films and film history, Keller examines how changes in cinema practice and spectatorship create anxiety even as they inspire nostalgia. Anxious Cinephilia offers a new theoretical approach to the relationship between spectator and cinema and reimagines the concept of cinephilia to embrace its diverse forms and its uncertain future. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780231180870Contents: Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

Cinephilia and history, or The wind in the trees / Christian Keathley Bloomington IN: Indiana University Press, 2006.
Call No: 409 KEAAuthor: Keathley, Christian Source: USPlace: Bloomington INPublisher: Indiana University PressPubDate: 2006PhysDes: xiv, 212 p. : ill. ; 25 cmSubject: CINEPHILIA ; CRITICISM ; PHILOSOPHY AND THE CINEMA ; CAHIERS DU CINEMA Summary: "Cinephiles have regularily fetishized contingent, marginal details in the motion picture image: the gesture of a hand, the wind in the trees. Christian Keathley demonstrates that the spectatorial tendency that produces such cinematic encounters - a viewing practice marked by a drift in visual attention away from the primary visual elements on display - in fact has clear links to the origins of film as described by Andre Bazin, Roland Barthes, and others. Keathley explores the implications of this ontology and proposes the "cinephiliac anecdote" as a new type of criticism, a method of historical writing that both imitates and extends the experience of these fugitive moments" - taken from back coverContents: 1.

Tsai Ming-liang and a cinema of slowness / Song Hwee Lim Honolulu: University of Hawai'i Press, 2014.
Call No: 631 LIMAuthor: Lim, Song Hwee Source: USPlace: HonoluluPublisher: University of Hawai'i PressPubDate: 2014PhysDes: xv, 217 pages : illustrations ; 23 cmSubject: TAIWANESE CINEMA ; TEMPORALITY IN FILM ; CINEPHILIA ; AESTHETICS ; TSAI, MING LIANG ; SKYWALK IS GONE, THE [TIAN QIAO BU JIAN LE] (TZ/FR, Tsai Ming-liang, 2002) ; VIVE L'AMOUR [AI QING WAN SUI] (TZ, Tsai Ming-liang, 1994) ; WAYWARD CLOUD, THE [TIAN BIAN YI DUO YUN] (TZ/FR, Tsai Ming-liang, 2005) Summary: "Providing a critical investigation into questions of temporality, materiality, and aesthetics, and examining concepts of authorship, cinephilia, and nostalgia, Song Hee Lim offers insight into cinematic slowness through the films of the Malaysian-born, Taiwan based director Tsai ming-liang. Through detailed analysis of aspects of stillness and silence in cinema, Lim delineates the strategies by which slowness in film can be constructed. By drawing on writings on cinephilia and the films of directors such as Abbas Kiarostami, Hou Hsiao-hsien, and Nuri Bilge Ceylan, he makes a passionate case for a slow cinema that calls for renewed attention to the image and to the experience of time in film." -- BOOK BLURBISBN: 9780824836849
