Using the dialectic of colour and monochrome as a starting point, Paul Coates explores the symbolic meanings that colour bears in different cultures, and engages with a range of critical approaches to filmic colour, building on the work of such theorists as Sergei Eisenstein, Rudolf Arnheim and Stanley Cavell. Coates also provides close analyses of films by directors such as Antonioni, Bergman, Godard, Hitchcock, Hou Hsiao-Hsien, Sirk, Kieslowski, Tarkovsky, Von Trier and Zhang Yimou. Coates' focus is on films that deliberately exploit the rich multiplicity of cultural meanings and associations ascribed to colour, including All That Heaven Allows, Deux ou trois choses que je sais d'elle, The Double Life of Véronique, The Flight of the Red Balloon, Red Desert, Schindler's List, Silent Light, Solaris, The Three Colours Trilogy and The Wizard of Oz.

A proud Indian international student is attacked in a brightly lit train carriage against a backdrop of darkness. Unknown to his attackers his high caste status has little relevance, and in one poignant moment, he is rescued by his counterpart, an 'untouchable', a low caste. They are united by what would otherwise be impossible. The highly publicised event sends shock waves through the international community. As the climate escalates, Maria Kris a young Australian journalist of Indian descent is sent to investigate, and what happens from there uncovers long established and inherent prejudices between the two countries and what lies between .... In her quest for truth, she meets a young Indian student Giriraj, who changes her life forever through an unlikely meeting. Throughout their ensuing friendship, Maria is taken by Giriraj..." - IMBd Notes: Unpublished script Donation: AFI / AACTA More info

The only natural colour process to be a commercial success before 1920 was Kinemacolor, a process invented by an Englishman, George A Smith, and exploited by an American, Charles Urban. This booklet tells the story of how Kinemacolor was developed, given its first public showing in London in 1909 and then shown in many countries in the world. Although it had its limitations, the process was successful for many years before the First World War. Some of the motion picture colour processes which superseded Kinemacolor are described. The work is based on a collection of apparatus, manuscripts, and ephemera given to the Science Museum by Charles Urban." - BOOK BLURB Notes: Reprint. First published 1969.

book		From Melies to new media : spectral projections / Wendy Haslem Bristol: Intellect, 2019. Call No: 701"00" HAS Author: Haslem, Wendy Edition: 2019 Place: Bristol Publisher: Intellect PubDate: 2019 PhysDes: 191 pages : illustrated ; 24 cm Subject: COMPUTER GENERATED IMAGERY; COMPUTERS AND THE CINEMA; HISTORY OF CINEMA. SILENT PERIOD; MUYBRIDGE, EADWEARD; MELIES, GEORGES; BENJAMIN, WALTER; COLOUR; EISENSTEIN, SERGEI M.; MULVEY, LAURA; GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY, THE (US, Edwin S. Porter, 1903); TRIP TO THE MOON [VOYAGE DANS LA LUNE] (FR, George Melies, 1902) Summary: From Méliès to New Media contributes to a dynamic stream of film history that is just beginning to understand that new media forms are not only indebted to but firmly embedded within the traditions and conventions of early film culture. Adopting a media archaeology, this book will present a comparative examination of cinema including early film experiments with light and contemporary music videos, silent film and their digital restorations, German Expressionist film and post-noir cinema, French Gothic film and the contemporary digital remake, Alfred Hitchcock’s films exhibited in the gallery, post medium films as abstracted light forms and interactive digital screens revising experiments in precinema. Media archaeology is an approach that uncovers the potential of intermedial research as a fluid form of history. It envisages the potential of new discoveries that foreground forgotten or marginalised contributions to history. It is also an approach that has been championed by influential new historicists like Thomas Elsaesser as providing the most vibrant and productive new histories (2014). -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9781783209897 Contents: List of Illustrations -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction: Beginnings and Ends: Historical Collusion -- Chapter 1: Cigarette Burns and Bullet Holes: Celluloid Cues in Digital Cinema -- Section I: Early Cinema: Colour and Spectrality -- Chapter 2: Applied Colour: Chromatic Frankenstein's Monsters? -- Chapter 3: The Serpentine Dance Films: 'Dream Visions That Change Ten Thousand Times a Minute' -- Section II: Luminescence, Montage and Frame Ratios -- Chapter 4: Memory and Noir: Neon Contrasts -- Chapter 5: Cutting: Shock and Endurance -- Chapter 6: Screens, Scale Ratio: Vertical Celluloid in the Digital Age -- Section III: Cinema Beyond the Frame -- Chapter 7: Hallucinatory Framing and Kaleidoscopic Vision -- Chapter 8: Ephemeral Screens: The Muybridgizer -- Bibliography -- Index More info

book		The music and sound of experimental film / edited by Holly Rogers and Jeremy Barham New York: Oxford Univesity Press, Call No: 771 MUS Author: Rogers, Holly; Barham, Jeremy Edition: 2017 Place: New York Publisher: Oxford Univesity Press PhysDes: xvi, 320 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm Subject: EXPERIMENTAL FILMS; COLOUR BOX, A (UK, Len Lye, 1935); AVANT-GARDE FILMS; LYE, LEN; MCLAREN, NORMAN; BRAKHAGE, STAN; AKERMAN, CHANTAL; SMITH, JOHN; COMPILATION FILMS; CHIEN ANDALOU, UN (FR, Luis Bunuel, 1928) Summary: This book explores music/sound-image relationships in non-mainstream screen repertoire from the earliest examples of experimental audiovisuality to the most recent forms of expanded and digital technology. It challenges presumptions of visual primacy in experimental cinema and rethinks screen music discourse in light of the aesthetics of non-commercial imperatives. Several themes run through the book, connecting with and significantly enlarging upon current critical discourse surrounding realism and audibility in the fiction film, the role of music in mainstream cinema, and the audiovisual strategies of experimental film. The contributors investigate repertoires and artists from Europe and the USA through the critical lenses of synchronicity and animated sound, interrelations of experimentation in image and sound, audiovisual synchresis and dissonance, experimental soundscape traditions, found-footage film, re-mediation of pre-existent music and sound, popular and queer sound cultures, and a diversity of radical technological, aesthetic, tropes in film media traversing the work of early pioneers such as Walther Ruttmann and Len Lye, through the mid-century innovations of Norman McLaren, Stan Brakhage, Lis Rhodes, Kenneth Anger, Andy Warhol, and studio collectives in Poland, to latter-day experimentalists John Smith and Bill Morrison, as well as the contemporary practices of Vjing. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9780190469900 Contents: Preface - Jeremy Barham -- Introduction - Holly Rogers -- Chapter 1: Absolute Sounding Images: Abstract Film and Radio Drama of the 1920s as Complementary Forms of a Media Specific Art - Dieter Daniels -- Chapter 2: A Primitivism of the Senses: The Role of Music in Len Lye's Experimental Animation, -- Malcolm Cook -- Chapter 3: An Educational Avant-Garde: Sound and Music in Julien Bryan's OIAA Films on Latin America, 1942-1949 - James Tobias -- Chapter 4: bup bup bup: Aural Innovation in the Films of Norman McLaren - Terence Dobson -- Chapter 5: Sights and Sounds of the Moving Mind: The Visionary Soundtracks of Stan Brakhage - Eric Smigel -- Chapter 6: Discontinuities and Resynchronisations: The Use of Sound in Polish Experimental Cinema from the 1930s to the 1980s - Daniel Muzyczuk -- Chapter 7: Grid Intensities: Hearing Structures in Chantal Akerman's Films of the 1970s - Paul Hegarty -- Chapter 8: Meaning and Musicality: Sound-Image Relations in the Films of John Smith - Andy Birtwistle -- Chapter 9: Audiovisual Dissonance in Found-Footage Film - Holly Rogers -- Chapter 10: Rebalancing the Picture/Sound Relationship: The Audiovisual Compositions of Lis Rhodes - Aimee Mollaghan -- Chapter 11: Sounding Decay in the Digital Age: Audio-Visions of Decasia (2002) and Lyrical Nitrate (1991) - Nessa Johnston -- Chapter 12: The Sound of Queer Experimental Film - Juan A.
