Summary: "Although nonfiction film may have captured imaginations, many viewers enter and leave theaters with a naive concept of "reality"- for them, documentaries are sources of information. But is truth or reality readily available, easily acquired, or undisputed? Or do documentaries convey illusions of reality? What aesthetic means are used to build these illusions? Crafting truth illuminates the way these films tell their stories; how they use the camera, editing, sound, and performance; what rhetorical devices they employ; and what the theoretical, practical, and ethical implications of those choices are. Complex documentary concepts are presented through easily accessible language, images, and a discussion of a wide range of films and videos to encourage new ways of thinking about and seeing nonfiction cinema.

Summary: "John Kobal, the world's foremost film archivist, has amassed an unrivaled photographic treasure of Hollywood glamour portraits. As an author and noted film historian, he has also been a major force behind the tremendous revival of interest in the work of the great studio photographers such as George Hurrell, Ted Allan, Lazlo Willinger, and Clarence Sinclair Bull. The selection of photographs in this book extends from the mid-1930s to the 1950s, the period in which color photography became established in Hollywood, and contains 74 spectacular images of the major stars." -- BOOK JACKET

Summary: "This book is about a magazine's love affair with an industry.From the start, Life and the movies were hooked by each other, behaving by turns like partners or rivals, soul mates or ragged enemies.....we had a wonderful time together. During Life's span, from 1936 to 1972. The movie department filled more pages than any other editorial beat except the focal " Newsfronts"section.....All this is reflected in the book you are now holding in your hands.It is by no means a systematic, conscientious history of Hollywood....We have chosen, instead, to win now the finest pictures in in LIFE's files more than 750 selections, which recaptures both the symbiosis between reporters and reportees and the art that the magazine itself brought to its photographic coverage of moviemaking."

Summary: "First published in 1957, this work of film theory analyzes the process - "the mysterious alchemy" - by which novels are transformed into films. Beginning with a discussion of the aesthetic limits of both the novel and the film, George Bluestone goes on to offer close readings of six films based on novels of serious literary merit - The Informer, Wuthering Heights, The Grapes of Wrath, Pride and Prejudice, The Ox-Bow Incident, and Madame Bovary - focusing on the additions, deletions, and other changes made by the filmmakers in adapting the source material for the screen. Based on both in-depth research into film archives and libraries and on interviews with the screenwriters, directors, and producers who worked on these films, Novels into Film concludes that because the novel lends itself to states of consciousness and the film to observed reality, the adaptation of one from the other produces a new and wholly autonomous art form."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary: "Photography, Early Cinema and Colonial Modernity is not a biography of Frank Hurley the man; it is instead an examination of the social life of the many marvellous and meaningful things he made as a professional photographer and film maker. The focus of this volume surrounds the media events that encompassed these various creations - what Hurley called his 'synchronized lecture entertainments'. These media events were at once national and international; they involved Hurley in an entire culture industry that was constantly in movement along global lines of travel and communication. This raises complex questions both about the authorship of Hurley's photographic and filmic texts - which were often produced and presented by other people - and about their ontology, as they were often in a state of reassemblage in response to changing market opportunities. This unique study re-imagines, from inside the quiet and stillness of the archive, the prior social life enjoyed by Hurley's creations amidst the complicated topography of the early twentieth century's rapidly internationalizing mass-media landscape. As a way to conceive of that space, and of the social life of the people and things within it, this study uses the concept of 'colonial modernity'. -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: Exhibition catalogue for the Deutsches Filmmuseum’s exhibition dedicated to the late director and currently displayed at ACMI as “Stanley Kubrick: Inside the Mind of a Visionary Filmmaker”. “The whole idea seemed strange at first. Exhibiting Stanley’s equipment, his plans, notes, photos? It did not feel right and would have been unthinkable during his lifetime, yet on careful reflection and discussion with Christiane Kubrick it became quite clear that while his privacy had to be guarded, his professional output was for all to be seen to celebrate the life of a great filmmaker. The efforts, the hard work, the inventiveness and wealth of ideas are so interesting, whereas the mystery of artistic talent will always remain under seal. Stanley Kubrick’s films will remain a valid reflection of his time and culture for future generations.” [“Foreword”, Jan Harlan].
