But there is another way of looking at film, and that is through its close relationship with the visual arts. Art history for Filmmakers shows how images from art can be used by filmmakers to establish period detail, and to demonstrate composition, color theory and lighting. It reveals how the visual culture that gave rise to cinema has itself been shaped and informed by the development of painting, the oldest of the art forms.Featuring stunning images from classic films and iconic artwork, this book will build your appreciation of the history of art, enrich your understanding of the visual language of film, and help to feed that understanding into your own original filmmaking" -- BACK COVER BOOK BLURBNotes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9781472580658Donation: Senses of CinemaContents: Introduction.

The Parisian avant-garde in the age of cinema, 1900-1923 / Jennifer Wild Oakland: University of California Press, 2015.
Call No: 61 [929:7]Author: Wild, Jennifer Edition: 2015Place: OaklandPublisher: University of California PressPubDate: 2015PhysDes: 344, xv p. ; illus. ; 23 cmSubject: AVANT-GARDE FILMS ; AVANT-GARDE FILMS ; FRANCE ; ART IN FILMS ; SURREALISM AND THE CINEMA ; FEUILLADE, LOUIS ; CHAPLIN, CHARLES Notes: The first decades of the twentieth century were pivotal for the historical and formal relationships between early cinema and Cubism, mechanomorphism, abstraction, and Dada. To examine these relationships, Jennifer Wild’s interdisciplinary study grapples with the cinema’s expanded identity as a modernist form defined by the concept of horizontality. Found in early methods of projection, film exhibition, and in the film industry’s penetration into cultural life by way of film stardom, advertising, and distribution, cinematic horizontality provides a new axis of inquiry for studying early twentieth-century modernism. Shifting attention from the film to the horizon of possibility around, behind, and beyond the screen, Wild shows how canonical works of modern art may be understood as responding to the changing characteristics of daily life after the cinema. Drawing from a vast popular cultural, cinematic, and art-historical archive, Wild challenges how we have told the story of modern artists’ earliest encounter with cinema and urges us to reconsider how early projection, film stardom, and film distribution transformed their understanding of modern life, representation, and the act of beholding. By highlighting the cultural, ideological, and artistic forms of interpellation and resistance that shape the phenomenology of a wartime era, The Parisian Avant-Garde in the Age of Cinema, 1900–1923 provides an interdisciplinary history of radical form. This book also offers a new historiography that redefines how we understand early cinema and avant-garde art before artists turned to making films themselves. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780520279896Contents: List of Illustrations

Play [DVD] Melbourne, Australia: Short Play Publications, 2010.
Call No: D PlaySource: ATPlace: Melbourne, AustraliaPublisher: Short Play PublicationsPubDate: 2010PhysDes: 1 DVD (PAL) (75 min.) : sd., col. ; 4 ¾ in. + bookletSeries: Short Play ; 00:01Subject: FILM ; MEDIA ; ANIMATION ; ART IN FILMS Summary: "Play, the inaugural volume of the Short Play publication, brings together a selection of 14 video works from artists who employ elements of play within their practice. Dancing, singing, frolicking, flying, teleporting and time travelling, these works share a playful vivacity that acts as a vehicle for sly subversion. Including six essays that expand on the concepts in the work, this diverse and challenging volume runs the gamut of play's myriad possiblities, in terms of both its role in contemporary art and its significance to everyday life. The result is often a double-edged sword of profundity and fun; a tongue-in-cheek delinquency projecting something deeper while eschewing any po-faced sentimentality of the past.
