He follows the growth of Sundance from a regional film festival to the premier showcase of independent film that it became, showing how it succeeded almost despite Robert Redford, whose visionary plans were often thwarted by his quixotic personality. He charts the meteoric rise of the controversial Harvey Weinstein, often described as the last mogul who, with his brother Bob, left a trail of carnage in his wake, yet created an Oscar factory that is the envy of the studios.

Material media-making in the digital age / Daniel Binns Fishponds, Bristol: Intellect, 2021.
Call No: 401.5 BINAuthor: Binns, Daniel Edition: 2021Place: Fishponds, BristolPublisher: IntellectPubDate: 2021PhysDes: xviii, 176 pages : illustratedSubject: ANDERSON, PAUL THOMAS ; CINEMATOGRAPHY ; DELEUZE, GILLES ; DRONE PHOTOGRAPHY ; EDITING ; MOBILE AND ONLINE MEDIA ; SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE CINEMA Summary: There is now no shortage of media for us to consume, from streaming services and video-on-demand to social media and everything else besides. This has changed the way media scholars think about the production and reception of media. Missing from these conversations, though, is the maker: in particular, the maker who has the power to produce media in their pocket.
How might one craft a personal media-making practice that is thoughtful and considerate of the tools and materials at one's disposal? This is the core question of this original new book. Exploring a number of media-making tools and processes like drones and vlogging, as well as thinking through time, editing, sound, and the stream, Binns looks out over the current media landscape in order to understand his own media practice.
The result is a personal journey through media theory, history and technology, furnished with practical exercises for teachers, students, professionals and enthusiasts. A unique combination of theory and practice written in a highly personal and personable style that is engaging and refreshing.
This book will enable readers to understand how a personal creative practice might unlock deeper thinking about media and its place in the world.
The primary readership will be among academics, researchers and students in the creative arts, and practitioners of creative arts including sound designers, cinematographers and social media content producers.
Designed for classroom use, this will be of particular importance for undergraduate students of film production and may also be of interest to students at MA level, particularly on the growing number of courses that specifically offer a blend of theory and practice. The highly accessible writing style may also mean that it can be taken up for high school courses on film and production.
It will also be of interest to academics delivering these courses, and to researchers and scholars of new media and digital cinema. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781789383492Contents: List of figures -- Foreword: Cherish the Thought / Adrian Martin -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction: Maker, material -- Hollis, my smartphone, and me: Practical lessons from historic avant-garde cinema -- Time Part I: From clip to continuity -- Time Part II: From continuity to fluidity -- Sound: From added-value to cohesion -- Fragments: The remnants of media practice -- Messy cinema: Casey Neistat and the affordances of the vlog -- The GIF: Silent but digital -- A purely digital form?: Streams and atmospheres -- Dronopoetics: Telepresence and aerial cinematography -- Coda: Lessons from the cutting-room floor -- References -- Index

The Sundance kids : How the mavericks took back Hollywood / James Mottram London: Faber and Faber, 2006.
Call No: 802.25(71) MOTAuthor: Mottram, James Source: UKPlace: LondonPublisher: Faber and FaberPubDate: 2006PhysDes: xxix, 480 p. : ill. ; 24cmSubject: INDEPENDENT FILMS. USA ; SUNDANCE INSTITUTE ; SODERBERGH, STEVEN ; Tarantino, Quentin ; RUSSELL, DAVID O. ; RODRIGUEZ, ROBERT ; LINKLATER, RICHARD ; FINCHER, DAVID ; JONZE, SPIKE ; ANDERSON, PAUL THOMAS ; ANDERSON, WES ; LEONARD, ELMORE ; COPPOLA, SOFIA ; PEIRCE, KIMBERLY ; SINGER, BRYAN ; KAUFMAN, CHARLIE ; PAYNE, ALEXANDER Summary: From Publishers Weekly
Mottram covers the same territory Sharon Waxman did in 2005's Rebels on the Backlot, including extensive considerations of directors Steven Soderbergh and Quentin Tarantino, but the British film journalist adds several filmmakers into the mix, including Sofia Coppola and Wes Anderson, concentrating primarily on hot young talents discovered at the Sundance Film Festival. He's also more interested in what's on the screen than Waxman was, so nearly every chapter has lengthy analyses of the movies discussed. But these interpretive flights distract from the reportage, especially when Mottram dismisses successful directors like Robert Rodriguez (who arguably have taken back Hollywood) because he doesn't consider movies like Spy Kids mature enough for serious consideration, or when he insists on linking every modern maverick to a counterpart in '70s cinema. He also links some films together by simplistic means, grouping a trilogy of films set in high schools in one chapter and building another chapter around Elmore Leonard adaptations. Mottram does give insight into the career trajectories of a few of his subjects, most notably Soderbergh, David Fincher and Bryan Singer, making his history a useful starting point.Notes: Includes notes, general index and index of filmsISBN: 0571222676
