(some col.) ; 19 cmSeries: BFI film classicsSummary: For an entire generation, Annie Hall embodied the notion of a New York peopled by sophisticated intellectuals - all sent up by the deadpan comedy genius of Woody Allen, writer, director, and of course star. It also confirmed the sparkling acting talent of Diane Keaton as a partner for Woody on screen. The film has survived as a popular comedy, however, by virtue of Allen's inventiveness as a director and the timelessness of his satire. Peter Cowie's study of Annie Hall recaptures the mood of the 70s, and examines the myriad imaginative touches that distinguish the film from other American productions of the period. The book also includes a glossary of the many cultural references which give the film its distinctively 'intellectual' toneNotes: Includes bibliographical referencesISBN: 0851705804LON: 12742199

The BFI companion to horror / edited by Kim Newman ; foreword by Ramsey Campbell London: Cassell, 1996.
Call No: 735.2 BFIAuthor: Newman, Kim, 1959 CorpAuthor: British Film InstitutePlace: LondonPublisher: CassellPubDate: 1996PhysDes: 352 p., [4] p. of plates : ill. (some col.) ; 29 cmSubject: HORROR FILMS Summary: In one volume, the BFI Companion to Horror offers a complete concordance to one of the most lasting genres of popular entertainment, focusing of course on the cinema but also taking in literature, television, radio, popular music, history and folklore. Covering great artists like Boris Karloff and Edgar Allan Poe and humble toilers like Edward D. Wood and John Carradine, this book provides a history of the horror genre from its pre-cinema beginnings in the eighteenth-century gothic novel and the Victorian ghost story through a hundred years of fevered activity, spotlighting not only mainstream horror producers such as Hammer Films and Alfred Hitchcock but also less expected names (Franz Kafka and Ingmar Bergman); In addition to entries on actors, directors, writers and technicians associated with horror, and all horror-themed film and television series, there are insightful essays on classic horror characters like Frankenstein and Dracula, on recurrent situations like decapitation and body-snatching, even on often-horrific portions of the body like eyes and brains. Among the experts who have contributed are Mark Ashworth, Anne Billson, Jeremy Clarke, Christopher Frayling, Neil Gaiman, Phil Hardy, Peter Hutchings, Tom Hutchinson, Alan Jones, Stephen Jones, Mark Kermode, Tim Lucas, Maitland McDonagh, David Prothero, Mark Salisbury, Philip Strick, Steve Thrower and Linda Ruth WilliamsISBN: 030433216X (pbk); 0304332135 (cased)LON: 12969787

The camera, it seems, can lie. Alterations may noe be made to still or moving images which materially change their meaning yet which are undetectable.
What does this do to the status of the documentary film? In this informed and lively book Brian Winston rewrites the history of the documentary to take account of technological change. He subjects the great figures of the past - Grierson, Flaherty, Dziga-Verov - to a searcing critique, and examines both the principles and practice of the major movements of documentary, such as cinema verite. He offers his own definition of the essential difference between fiction film and documentary, and identifies the fundamentally ethical basis of any film practice which attempts to capture the 'truth'" -- Taken from the back cover.Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 277-294) and indexISBN: 0851704638 (cased); 0851704646 (pbk)LON: 11552015URL status: URL: 'http://-'

Edited by one of the leading British authorities in the field, The Documentary Film Book is an essential guide to current thinking on documentary film.
In a series of fascinating essays, key international experts discuss the theory of documentary, outline current understandings of its history (from pre-Flaherty to the post-Griersonian world of digital 'i-Docs'), survey documentary production (from Africa to Europe, and from the Americas to Asia), consider documentaries by marginalised minority communities, and assess its contribution to other disciplines and arts.

But 'heritage cinema' is all too often discussed from literary (not cinematic) perspectives, and criticism of the films has long been overshadowed by the question of a film's fidelity to the original text. This volume of essays, reviews, and interviews seeks to redress this imbalance, by examining the often antagonistic relationship between literature and film - presenting both sides of the argument about whether heritage cinema's elaborate aesthetics owe more to nostalgia than to historical accuracy. In her challenging introduction to the volume, Ginette Vincendeau sketches the terms of the debate, arguing that the genre is an important, but often critically neglected, form of popular cinema. Film/Literature/Heritage, the latest in a series of 'Sight and Sound Readers', embraces a wide range of literary adaptation, from William Shakespeare to William Burroughs, covering films from Orlando to LA Confidential, and directors from Martin Scorcese to Peter Greenaway." - BOOK BLURBISBN: 0851708420; 0851708412(pbk.) : ¦13.99LON: 22285912

While its story of two doomed lovers, crashing through the small towns of the mid-West, running the gauntlet of hold-ups and shoot-outs to a bloody nemesis, owes much to the true-life tale of Bonnie and Clyde, the film achieves an intense poetry eloquently expressive of the dark side of the American Dream; The film's origins in the poverty-row operation of the King Brothers are expertly described by Jim Kitses. He traces Gun Crazy's roots in the rain-slicked, nighttime world of noir, and in the post-war American society that gave birth to it. He teases out the effects of the Production Code, and the distinctive contributions of director Joseph H. Lewis, writers MacKinlay Kantor and the blacklisted Dalton Trumbo, and stars, Peggy Cummins and John Dall. Above all, Kitses provides a wonderfully alert and informative reading of a small masterpiece, a film that rises triumphantly above the modesty of its meansNotes: Bibliography: p. 84-86ISBN: 0851705790 (pbk.)LON: gb 96064348; 12742332

In 1946, fifty years after the appearance of the cinema as a regular form of public entertainment in Great Britain, the British film remained conspicuously unchronicled; and so to remedy the deficiency the British Film Institute set up a Research Committee under the chairmanship of the veteren film producer Cecil Hepworth, consisting of producer George Pearson, Ernest Lindgren, Curator of the National Film Library, Roger Manvell and Rachael Low. This volume is the product of their research. The first part of the book traces the growth of the British film industry from its earliest days, including details of production, distribution and exhibition, market conditions, showmanship and early film studios. The second part describes the films of the period, including actuality and topical films, travelogues, vaudeville, comedy, drama, panorama and trick films, as well as the development of film art and contemporary technique. Included are interviews and correspondance with many of the early film pioneers then still alive, extracts from film journalism and catalogues of the period, a record of the first public exhibitions and performances, and one hundred illustrations featuring posters, portraits, studios, travelling cinemas and a unique selection of early stills. After many years our of print, this volume is now re-issued with a new jacket to match the later volumes and will be welcomed by the many film fans, students and libraries who have neergetically campaigned for its re-release.

It's a gift / Simon Louvish London: British Film Institute, 1994.
Call No: 79ITS LOUAuthor: Louvish, Simon CorpAuthor: British Film InstitutePlace: LondonPublisher: British Film InstitutePubDate: 1994PhysDes: 75 p. : ill. ; 19 cmSeries: BFI film classicsSummary: Harold Bissonette ('pronounced Bissonay') owns a small-town grocery store in New Jersey, running the daily gauntlet of his nagging wife, demanding daughter, loud-mouthed son, prudish townspeople, blind or just plain ornery customers, and, of course, Baby LeRoy. But when his rich uncle Bean dies, Harold can at last realise his dream of owning an orange grove in California. From this unpromising material the genius of W.C. Fields fashioned one of the most sheerly funny comedies Hollywood ever produced. In it, the Fields persona was honed to perfection: the misanthropic curmudgeon, nursing his small triumphs over the women and small children who beset him, managing, however improbably, to transform disaster into success; Simon Louvish has performed a splendid work of excavation in tracing back the origins in Fields's stage work of the wonderful set pieces from which the film is constructed. But in dissecting the origins and techniques of the routines, Louvish does not murder the comedy, for his descriptions of Fields at work recreate the joy of watching the most anarchic and original comic Hollywood ever discoveredNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 75)ISBN: 0851704727LON: bnb85170472; 10907941

(some col.) ; 19 cmSeries: BFI film classicsSummary: When Meet Me in St. Louis was first released fifty years ago, it achieved instant success, becoming MGM's most popular film to date. Since then it has effortlessly retained its place in the pantheon of great musicals. But elegant and graceful though it may be, this was not the easiest of films to make. Gerald Kaufman has done extensive research in the records of MGM deposited in the University of Southern California. He recounts how successive teams of writers laboured over the script, changing names, characters and story-lines. He reveals the numerous delays in production, many due to the erratic behaviour of Judy Garland, who altogether was absent for thirteen days of filming; That the film turned out so brilliantly is, in Kaufman's view, due largely to the credit of its director, Vincente Minnelli, who drew from an initially reluctant Judy Garland her most immaculate performance. An extended section of the book explores in detail Minnelli's contribution to the fluidity of the visual style and the richness of the decorNotes: Bibliography: p. 71ISBN: 0851705014LON: bnb85170501; 11420418

(some col.) ; 19 cmSeries: BFI film classicsSummary: Abel Gance's great film Napoleon, as heroic in ambition as its subject, opened at the Opera de Paris in April 1927. It was the summation of the silent cinema, a remarkable feat of imagination, ingenuity and stamina. Years in the planning and months in production, the film astonished its audience with the boldness of its conception - not least at the moment when the screen expanded to reveal Gance's visionary invention of Polyvision, a wide-screen system thirty years ahead of its time. Yet Gance's triumph was to be short-lived. The American version, re-edited by MGM, was a disaster. The sheer length of the film, and its spectacular effects, produced problems for exhibitors. Gance never gave up trying to 'improve' it. In 1934 he added sound; in 1970 he was still editingNotes: Includes bibliographical referencesISBN: 0851704662LON: bnb85170466; 10955280

In What If I Had Been the Hero?, Sue Thornham addresses this question through an exploration of a wide range of films, from experimental feminist film to mainstream Hollywood, and from the 1970s to the present day, by film-makers including Sally Potter, Jane Campion, Deepa Mehta, Patricia Rozema and Lynne Ramsay. Her discussion takes in films from India and Argentina as well as Europe, Canada, Australia and the US.
Drawing on a wide range of feminist theoretical sources, What If I Had Been the Hero? makes an important intervention into contemporary debates, situating film-making within a rich history of female creativity, and insisting on the continuing importance of feminist theory." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographic references and index; Includes filmographyISBN: 9781844573639Contents: Part One: Questions -- Chapter One: 'What If I Had Been The Hero?' -- Chapter Two: Women's Liberation Cinema? -- Chapter Three: Unexplored Territories --; Part Two: Explorations -- Chapter Four: Heroes and Writers -- Chapter Five: Landscapes and Stories -- Chapter Six: Bodies and Passions -- Conclusion: Unfinished Business
