Nightmares in the dream sanctuary : war and the animated film / Donna Kornhaber Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 2020.
Call No: 772 KORAuthor: Kornhaber, Donna Edition: 2020Place: Chicago and LondonPublisher: University of Chicago PressPubDate: 2020PhysDes: xx, 278 pages : illustrated ; 24cmSubject: ANIMATED FILMS ; WAR IN FILMS ; PERSEPOLIS (FR, Marjane Satrapi, 2007) ; WALTZ WITH BASHIR (IS/G/FR, Ari Folman, 2008) ; BAREFOOT GEN (JA, Masaki Mori, 1983) ; GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES (JA, Isao Takahata, 1989) Summary: In 2008, Waltz with Bashir shocked the world by presenting a bracing story of war in what seemed like the most unlikely of formats—an animated film. Yet as Donna Kornhaber shows in this pioneering new book, the relationship between animation and war is actually as old as film itself. The world’s very first animated movie was made to solicit donations for the Second Boer War, and even Walt Disney sent his earliest creations off to fight on gruesome animated battlefields drawn from his First World War experience. As Kornhaber strikingly demonstrates, the tradition of wartime animation, long ignored by scholars and film buffs alike, is one of the world’s richest archives of wartime memory and witness.
Generation after generation, artists have turned to this most fantastical of mediums to capture real-life horrors they can express in no other way. From Chinese animators depicting the Japanese invasion of Shanghai to Bosnian animators portraying the siege of Sarajevo, from African animators documenting ethnic cleansing to South American animators reflecting on torture and civil war, from Vietnam-era protest films to the films of the French Resistance, from firsthand memories of Hiroshima to the haunting work of Holocaust survivors, the animated medium has for more than a century served as a visual repository for some of the darkest chapters in human history. It is a tradition that continues even to this day, in animated shorts made by Russian dissidents decrying the fighting in Ukraine, American soldiers returning from Iraq, or Middle Eastern artists commenting on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Arab Spring, or the ongoing crisis in Yemen.
Nightmares in the Dream Sanctuary: War and the Animated Film vividly tells the story of these works and many others, covering the full history of animated film and spanning the entire globe. A rich, serious, and deeply felt work of groundbreaking media history, it is also an emotional testament to the power of art to capture the endurance of the human spirit in the face of atrocity. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780226472683Contents: List of Illustrations – Preface -- Introduction: Witness -- -- Part One: At War -- -- Chapter 1: Resistance -- Chapter 2: Pacifism -- Part Two: After War -- Chapter 3: Memory -- Chapter 4: Memorial -- Acknowledgments -- Notes -- Filmography -- Bibliography -- Index

Studying Waltz with Bashir / Giulia Miller Leighton Buzzard: Auteur Publishing, 2017.
Call No: 79WAL MILAuthor: Miller, Giulia Source: UKPlace: Leighton BuzzardPublisher: Auteur PublishingPubDate: 2017PhysDes: 111 pages : illustrations ; 20 cmSeries: Studying filmsSubject: WAR FILMS ; WAR IN FILMS ; WALTZ WITH BASHIR (IS/G/FR, Ari Forman, 2008) Summary: "On its release in 2008, Ari Folman's animated documentary Waltz with Bashir was heralded as a brilliant and original exploration of trauma, and trauma's impact on memory and the recording of history. But it is surprising that although the film is seen through the eyes of one particular soldier, a viewpoint portrayed using highly experimental forms of animation, this has not prevented Waltz with Bashir from being regarded as both an 'autobiographical' and 'honest' account of the director's own experiences in the 1982 Lebanon war. In fact, the film won several documentary awards, and even those critics focusing on the representation of trauma suggest that this trauma must be authentic. In this sense, it is the documentary form rather than the animation that has had the most influence upon critics."--Publisher's descriptionISBN: 9781911325154Donation: donated by Senses of CinemaContents: Machine generated contents note: ch.

Waltz with Bashir : a Lebanon war story / Ari Folman, David Polonsky London: Metropolitan, 2009.
Call No: N79WAL FOLAuthor: Folman, Ari ; Polonsky, David Source: UKPlace: LondonPublisher: MetropolitanPubDate: 2009PhysDes: 117 p. : col. ill. ; 27 cmSubject: FOLMAN, ARI ; WALTZ WITH BASHIR (IS/G/FR, Ari Forman, 2008) Summary: "One night in Beirut in September 1982, while Israeli soldiers secured the area, Christian militia members entered the refugee campas of Sabria and Shatila and began to massacre hundreds, if not thousands, of Palestinians. Ari Folman was one of those Israeli soldiers, but for more than twenty years he remembered nothing of that night or of the weeks leading up to it. Then came a friend's disturbing dream, and with it Folman's need to excavate the truth of the war in Lebanon and answer the crucial question: what was he doing during the hours of slaughter? Challenging the collective amnesia of friends and fellow soldiers, Folman painfully, candidly pieces together the war and his place in it. Gradually, the blankness of his mind is filled in by scenes of combat and patrol, misery and carnage, as well as dreams and hallucinations. Soldiers are haunted by inexplicable nightmares and flashbacks-snapping, growling dogs with teeth bared and eyes glowing orange; a recurring image of three young men rising naked out of the sea to drift into the Beirut battlefield. Tanks crush cars and buildings with lethal indifference; snipers pick off men on donkeys, men in cars, men drinking coffee; a soldier waltzes through a storm of bullets; rock songs fill the air, and then yellow flares. The recollections accumulate until Ari Folman arrives at Sabra and Shatila and his investigation reaches its terrible end. The result is a gripping reconstruction, a probing inquiry into the unreliable quality of memory, and, above all, a powerful denunciation of the senselessness of all wars. Profoundly original in form and approach, Waltz with Bashir will take its place as one of the great works of wartime history." -- BOOK JACKETNotes: Formerly CIPISBN: 9780805088922

Waltzing with Bashir : perpetrator trauma and cinema / by Raya Morag London ; New York: I.B. Tauris, 2013.

TaurisPubDate: 2013PhysDes: 275 p. : ill. ; 23 cmSubject: FILM ; DOCUMENTARY FILMS ; DOCUMENTARIES ; THEORY ; VIOLENCE IN FILMS ; WALTZ WITH BASHIR (IS/G/FR, Ari Forman, 2008) Summary: "Waltzing with Bashir proposes a new paradigm for cinema trauma studies - the trauma of the perpetrator. Recognizing a current shift in interest from the trauma suffered by victims to that suffered by perpetrators, Raya Morag seeks to theorize this still under-studied field thus breaking the repression of this concept and phenomenon in psychoanalysis and in cinema literature. Taking as a point of departure the distinction between testimony given by the victim and confession made by the perpetrator, this pioneering work ventures to define and analyze perpetrator trauma in scholarly, representational, literary, and societal contexts.
