Apocalypse-cinema : 2012 and other ends of the world / Peter Szendy; translated by Will Bishop; Foreword by Samuel Webber New York: Fordham University Press, 2015.
Call No: 735.1 SZEAuthor: Szendy, Peter ; Bishop, Will ; Webber, Samuel Edition: 2015Place: New YorkPublisher: Fordham University PressPubDate: 2015PhysDes: xx, 160 p. : illustrations ; 22 cmSeries: French VoicesSubject: APOCALYPSE IN FILMS ; MELANCHOLIA (DK/SW/FR/G, Lars von Trier, 2011) ; LAST MAN ON EARTH, THE (US/IT, Ubaldo Ragona, 1964) ; TERMINATOR, THE (US, James Cameron, 1984) ; [TWENTY-TWELVE] 2012 (US/CN, Roland Emmerich, 2009) ; A.I: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (US, Steven Spielberg, 2001) ; WATCHMEN (US, Zack Snyder, 2009) ; SUNSHINE (UK/US, Danny Boyle, 2007) ; BLADE RUNNER (US, Ridley Scott, 1982) ; [TWELVE] MONKEYS (US, Terry Gilliam, 1995) ; ROAD, THE (US, John Hillcoat, 2009) ; BLOB, THE (US, Chuck Russell, 1988) Summary: Apocalypse-cinema is not only the end of time that has so often been staged as spectacle in films like 2012, The Day After Tomorrow, and The Terminator. By looking at blockbusters that play with general annihilation while also paying close attention to films like Melancholia, Cloverfield, Blade Runner, and Twelve Monkeys, this book suggests that in the apocalyptic genre, film gnaws at its own limit.
Apocalypse-cinema is, at the same time and with the same double blow, the end of the world and the end of the film. It is the consummation and the (self-)consumption of cinema, in the form of an acinema that Lyotard evoked as the nihilistic horizon of filmic economy. The innumerable countdowns, dazzling radiations, freeze-overs, and seismic cracks and crevices are but other names and pretexts for staging film itself, with its economy of time and its rewinds, its overexposed images and fades to white, its freeze-frames and digital touch-ups.
The apocalyptic genre is not just one genre among others: It plays with the very conditions of possibility of cinema. And it bears witness to the fact that, every time, in each and every film, what Jean-Luc Nancy called the cine-world is exposed on the verge of disappearing.
In a Postface specially written for the English edition, Szendy extends his argument into a debate with speculative materialism. Apocalypse-cinema, he argues, announces itself as cinders that question the “ultratestimonial” structure of the filmic gaze. The cine-eye, he argues, eludes the correlationism and anthropomorphic structure that speculative materialists have placed under critique, allowing only the ashes it bears to be heard. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780823264810

Edited by the distinguished filmmaker and historian Lewis Jacobs, the book has become an indispensable reference for both students and practitioners of documentary. This new edition brings The Documentary Tradition up to date and includes the writings of almost 100 filmmakers and critics. To the five parts which trace the development of the genre from the 1920s Jacobs has added a new section of seven essays on the documentaries of the 1970s. The section is introduced by his own survey of the filmmaking of the period, "From Political Activism to Women's Consciousness," and accompanied by a selected list of documentaries of the 1970s together with photographs from a number of these films. The bibliography of works on documentary films and filmmakers has been expanded." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes index; Bibliography: p. 577-579ISBN: 0393950425LON: 1437994URL status: URL: 'http://-'

Godard's own persona - cultural hero, fierce loner, shrewd businessman - projects similarly shifting images. In the modern canon, he is a figure as mysterious as he is indispensible. Now, acclaimed critic Richard Brody offers the fullest picture yet of Godard's life and work, demsytifying the elusive filmmaker through hundreds of interviews with friends, relatives, and collaborators. He vividly depicts Godard's wealthy family, his changeable and often disturbing politics, his tumultuous dealings with fellow filmmakers, and his troubled relations with women. Tracing an arc from the director's early writing, through his popular success with Breathless and Contempt, to the grand vision of his later years, Everything Is Cinema shows decisively that Godard's films have left their mark on all screens, everywhere. -- BOOK BLURBNotes: "NBCC Award.

Film sequels : theory and practice from Hollywood to Bollywood / by Carolyn Jess-Cooke Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2009.
Call No: 753.83 JESAuthor: Jess-Cooke, Carolyn Source: UKPlace: EdinburghPublisher: Edinburgh University PressPubDate: 2009PhysDes: viii, 166 p. ; 24 cmSubject: SEQUELS ; FILM ; CRITICISM ; ADAPTATIONS ; THEORY ; A.I: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (US, Steven Spielberg, 2001) Summary: "The film sequel has been maligned in popular culture as a vampirish corporative exercise in profit-making and narrative regurgitation. Drawing upon a wide range of examples from early cinema to the twenty-first century, this volume reveals the increasing popularity of, and experimentation with, film sequels as a central dynamic of Hollywood cinema. Now creeping into world cinemas and independent film festivals, the sequel is persistently employed as a vehicle for cross-cultural dialogue and as a structure by which memories and cultural narratives can be circulated across geographical and historical locations. This book aims to account for some of the major critical contexts within which sequelisation operates by exploring sequel production beyond box office figures. Its account ranges from sequels in recent mainstream cinema, art-house and 'indie' sequels, non-Hollywood sequels, the effects of the domestic market on sequelisation, and the impact of the video game industry on Hollywood." --BACK COVER BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9780748626045Contents: -- preface -- acknowledgments -- Introduction: The age of the $equel: beyond the profit principle -- 1 Before and after the blockbuster: a brief history of the film sequel -- 2 Screaming, slashing, sequelling: what the sequel did to the horror movie -- 3 "It's all up to you!": sequelisation and user-generated content --4 Adventures in Indiewood: sequels in the independent film marketplace -- 5 Signifying Hollywood: sequels in the global economy -- 6 Sequelisation and secondary memory: Steven Spielberg's Artificial intelligence: A.

JE VOUS SALUE MARIE ; JE VOUS SALUE MARIE (FR/SZ, Jean-Luc Godard, 1985) ; NOUVELLE VAGUE (Fr, Jean-Luc Godard, 1990) Summary: "The films of Jean-Luc Godard examines the work of one of the most versatile and influential filmmakers in the history of cinema. With a career ranging from France's revolutionary New Wave movement in the early 1960s, through a period of drastic political experimentation in the late 1960s and 1970s, to a current introspective period in which he explores issues of spirituality, sexuality, and the aesthetics of sound, image, and montage, Godard's work defies easy categorization. In this study, David Sterritt offers an introductory overview of Godard's work as a filmmaker, critic, and video artist. He then traces Godard's visionary ideas through six of his key films: Breathless, My Life to Live, Weekend, Numero deux, Hail Mary, and Nouvelle Vague. Also included is a concise analysis of his work in video, television, and mixed-media formats. Linking works by Godard to key social and cultural developments, The Films of Jean-Luc Godard explains their importance in modernist and postmodernist art of the last half century.

It is the first book to cover the whole of Godard's career, from the early successes of the French New Wave, through the political works of the late 1960s and 1970s and the difficult films of the 1980s, to the recent triumphs of Histoire(s) du cinema and Eloge de l'amour. Drawing on a wide range of literary, filmic and philosophical texts, the book places Godard's work within its intellectual context in France, examining how developments in French culture and thought since 1950 have been mirrored in - and sometimes anticipated by - Godard's films. At the same time, numerous sequences from Godard's films are singled out for close analysis in order to demonstrate how the director's radical approaches to narrative, editing, sound and shot composition have made the cinema into an analytical tool in its own right - a machine for thinking. The book will be useful to all students of Godard's films, and of interest to scholars of modern and contemporary French cinema, culture and thought.

On Kubrick / Naremore, James London: British Film Institute, 2007.
Call No: 81 KUB NARAuthor: Naremore, James Place: LondonPublisher: British Film InstitutePubDate: 2007PhysDes: 299 p. : ill. ; 24cmSubject: KUBRICK, STANLEY ; A.I: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (US, Steven Spielberg, 2001) ; FEAR AND DESIRE (US, Stanley Kubrick, 1953) Summary: On Kubrick is a critical study of Stanley Kubrick's career, beginning with his earliest feature, "Fear and Desire" (1953), and ending with his posthumous production of "A.I., Artificial Intelligence" (2001). Organized in six parts ("The Taste Machine," "Young Kubrick," "Kubrick, Harris, Douglas," "Stanley Kubrick Presents," "Late Kubrick," and "Epilogue"), it offers provocative analysis of each of Kubrick's films together with new information about their production histories and cultural contexts. Its ultimate aim is to provide a concise yet thorough discussion that will be useful as both an academic text and a trade publication. The book argues that in several respects Kubrick was one of the cinema's last modernists: his taste and sensibility were shaped by the artistic culture of New York in the 1950s; he became a celebrated auteur who forged a distinctive style; he used art-cinema conventions in commercial productions; he challenged censorship regulations; and throughout his career he was preoccupied with one of the central themes of modernist art - the conflict between rationality and its ever-present shadow, the unconscious. War and science are often the subjects of his films, and his work has a hyper-masculine quality; yet no director has more relentlessly emphasized the absurdity of combat, the failure of scientific reasoning, and the fascistic impulses in masculine sexuality. The book also argues that while Kubrick was a voracious intellectual and a life-long autodidact, the fascination of his work has less to do with the ideas it espouses than with the emotions it evokes. Often described as "cool" or "cold," Kubrick is best understood as a skillful practitioner of what might be called the aesthetics of the grotesque; he employs extreme forms of caricature and black comedy to create disgusting, frightening, yet also laughable images of the human body. No less than Diane Arbus (who was his contemporary), he makes his viewers uneasy, unsure how to react either emotionally or politically. -- publisher's blurbISBN: 9781844571420Contents: -- preface and acknowledgments -- part one: prologue -- 1: the last modernist -- 2: silence, exile and cunning -- 3: grotesque aesthetics -- part two: early Kubrick -- 1: no other country but the mind -- 2: dream city -- part three: Kubrick, Harris, Douglas -- 1: the criminal and the artist -- 2: ant hill -- 3: Dolores, lady of pain -- part four: Stanley Kubrick Presents -- 1: wargasm -- 2: beyond the stars -- 3: a professional piece of Sinny -- 4: duelist -- 5: horrorshow -- Part five: late Kubrick -- 1: warriors -- 2: lovers -- part six: epilogue -- 1: afterthoughts -- 2: love and death in A.I.

Drawing on many popular and some lesser known films from around the world, Christopher Falzon introduces students to key areas in philosophy, like: Ethics, Social and Political Philosophy, The Theory of Knowledge, The Self and Personal Identity, Critical Thinking.

Avisar bases his discussion of these filmic efforts on the assumption that the Holocaust was a unique and unprecedented historical experience and that as such it poses special problems for those, particularly artists, who seek to reflect upon this historical event. He disagrees with theorists who believe that art cannot deal with the Holocaust in a meaningful way. This study examines how cinematic art meets the challenge of dealing with the extraordinary nature of the Holocaust. Avisar uses the concepts of representation, presentation, and comprehension to analyze a select number of Holocaust films. The cinematic medium offers a wide range of artistic visions of historical events. Avisar combines theoretical concepts peculiar to the nature of cinema with arguments on the uniqueness of Hitler's Final Solution in presenting detailed analyses of such remarkable films as Night and Fog, The Damned, The Great Dictator, The Diary of Anne Frank, The Shop on Main Street, The Garden of the Finzi-Continis, and Mr. Klein." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes index; Bibliography: p.
