This compelling study corrects such omissions by detailing the theory and practice of alternative adaptation practices from major avant-garde directors. Avant-Garde films are often relegated to the margins because they challenge our traditional notions of what film form and style can accomplish. Directors who choose to adapt previous material run the risk of severe critical dismay; making films that are highly subjective interpretations or representations of existing texts takes courage and foresight. An avant-garde adaptation provokes spectators by making them re-think what they know about film itself, just as much as the previous source material.Adaptation and the Avant-Garde examines films by Peter Greenaway, Jean-Luc Godard, Guy Maddin, Jan Svankmajer and many others, offering illuminating insights and making us reconsider the nature of adaptation, appropriation, borrowing, and the re-imagining of previous sources. -- extract taken from the back of the book. -- Notes: Formerly CIP. -- Includes bibliographical references and index -- ISBN: 9781441163523 Contents: -- pt.

Call No: 62 FIL Author: MacKenzie, Scott (ed.) Source: US Place: Berkeley London Publisher: University of California Press PubDate: 2014 PhysDes: xxi, 651 p. ; 26 cm Subject: AVANT-GARDE FILMS; CONSTRUCTIVISM; SURREALISM AND THE CINEMA; STRUCTURALISM; NOUVELLE VAGUE; IMPERIALISM AND THE CINEMA; GENDER AND THE CINEMA; FEMINISM AND THE CINEMA; PORNOGRAPHY AND THE CINEMA; DOCUMENTARY FILMS; DOCUMENTARIES; PHILOSOPHY AND THE CINEMA; WORLD CINEMA; LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES; AESTHETICS; HOLLYWOOD; ARCHIVES & INSTITUTES, FILM Summary: Film Manifestoes and Global Cinema Cultures is the first book to collect manifestoes from the global history of cinema, providing the first historical and theoretical account of the role played by film manifestos in filmmaking and film culture. Focussing equally on political and aesthetic manifestoes, Scott MacKenzie uncovers a neglected, yet nevertheless central history of the cinema, exploring a series of documents that postulate ways in which to re-imagine the cinema and, in the process, re-imagine the world. This volume collects the major European “waves” and figures (Eisenstein, Truffaut, Bergman, Free Cinema, Oberhausen, Dogme ‘95); Latin American Third Cinemas (Birri, Sanjinés, Espinosa, Solanas); radical art and the avant-garde (Buñuel, Brakhage, Deren, Mekas, Ono, Sanborn); and world cinemas (Iimura, Makhmalbaf, Sembene, Sen). It also contains previously untranslated manifestos co-written by figures including Bollaín, Debord, Hermosillo, Isou, Kieslowski, Painlevé, Straub, and many others. Thematic sections address documentary cinema, aesthetics, feminist and queer film cultures, pornography, film archives, Hollywood, and film and digital media. Also included are texts traditionally left out of the film manifestos canon, such as the Motion Picture Production Code and Pius XI's Vigilanti Cura, which nevertheless played a central role in film culture. -- extract taken from the back of the book Notes: Includes index -- Includes bibliographical references and index.

book		The filming of modern life : European Avant-Garde Film of the 1920s / by Malcom Turvey Cambridge, Massachusetts: MIT Press, c2011. Call No: 771(4) TUR Author: Turvey, Malcolm Source: US Place: Cambridge, Massachusetts Publisher: MIT Press PubDate: c2011 PhysDes: xii, 213 p. : ill. ; 24 cm Subject: AVANT-GARDE FILMS; AVANT-GARDE FILMS. EUROPEAN COUNTRIES; EUROPEAN CINEMA; HISTORY OF CINEMA. 1920's; BALLET MECANIQUE, LE (FR, Fernand Leger, 1924); MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA (UR, Dziga Vertov, 1929); PARIS QUI DORT (FR, Rene Clair, 1923); CHIEN ANDALOU, UN (FR, Luis Bunuel, 1928) Summary: "In the 1920s, the European avant-garde embraced the cinema, experimenting with the medium in radical ways. Painters including Hans Richter and Fernand Leger as well as filmmakers belonging to such avant-garde movements as Dada and surrealism made some of the most enduring and fascinating films in the history of cinema. In The Filming of Modern Life, Malcolm Turvey examines five films from the avant-garde canon and the complex, sometimes contradictory, attitudes toward modernity they express: Rhythm 21 (Hans Richter, 1921), Ballet mecanique (Dudley Murphy and Fernand Leger, 1924), Entr'acte (Francis Picabia and Rene Clair, 1924), Un chien Andalou (Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel, 1929), and Man with a Movie Camera (Dziga Vertov, 1929). All exemplify major trends within European avant-garde cinema of the time, from abstract animation to "cinema pur." Turvey argues that these films share a concern with modernization and the rapid, dislocating changes it was bringing about. He critically addresses major theories of the avant-garde and its relation to modern life, including the claim that film is "distracting" in the same way as a modern environment, and he challenges the standard view of the avant-garde as implacably opposed to bourgeois modernity. In fact, he writes, not only was there considerable disagreement among avant-garde movements about what aspects of modern life needed transformation, but the positions of individual avant-garde artists toward modernization were complex, even contradictory. All five films that Turvey analyzes embrace and resist, in their own ways, different aspects of modernity. Although much has been written about each of these films, The Filming of Modern Life is the first book to examine them together, illuminating their shared concern with modernization and its consequences." -- BOOK JACKET Notes: "An October book"; Includes bibliographical references and index ISBN: 9780262015189 Contents: -- acknowledgments -- introduction -- Abstraction and rhythm 21 -- "Cinema pur" and Ballet me´chanique -- Dada, Entr'acte and Paris qui dort -- Surrealism and Un chien andalou -- City symphony and Man with a movie camera -- Film, distraction, and modernity -- notes -- index -- More info

Penley analyzes the primary movements that have shaped the field: the conjunction of feminism, film theory, and psychoanalysis, and the inherent debates surrounding the politics of women and representation. These debates centre on the position of women in the classical Hollywood narrative, the construction of the spectator's desire in pornography and eroticism and the implicit male bias in the psychoanalytically oriented film theory." -- BOOK COVER Notes: Women.

Edition: 2nd Edition Source: UK Place: London Publisher: bfi Publishing PubDate: 2011 PhysDes: viii, 196 : ill. ; 25 cm. Subject: EXPERIMENTAL FILMS; VIDEO ART; ART CINEMA; AVANT-GARDE FILMS Summary: Avant-garde film is almost indefinable. It is in a constant state of change and redefinition. In his highly-acclaimed history of experimental film, A.L. Rees tracks the movement of the film avant-garde between the cinema and modern art (with its postmodern coda). But he also reconstitutes the film avant-garde as an independent form of art practice with its own internal logic and aesthetic discourse. In this revised and updated edition, Rees introduces experimental film and video to new readers interested in the wider cinema, as well as offering a guide to enthusiasts of avant-garde film and new media arts. Ranging from Cézanne and Dada, via Cocteau, Brakhage and Le Grice, to the new wave of British film and video artists from the 1990s to the present day, this expansive study situates avant-garde film between the cinema and the gallery, with many links to sonic as well as visual arts. The new edition includes a review of current scholarship in avant-garde film history and includes updated reading and viewing lists. It also features a new introduction and concluding chapter, which assess the rise of video projection in the gallery since the millennium, and describe new work by the latest generation of experimental film-makers. The new edition is richly illustrated with images of the art works discussed Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index. ISBN: 9781844576203 Contents: Pt. 1. The canonical avant-garde.

It covers the period from the early 1960s - when video art first appeared as a distinctive medium - into the 1990s - when digital technology merged video's distinctive practice with that of independent film-making and photography. This artistic history is also a technological and a cultural history. A History of Video Art also sets its analysis of artistic practice firmly within the context of both the development of electronic imaging technology and the changing political and social climate." -- Publisher's website.

Many scholars have linked the origins of the discipline to late-1960s developments in the academy such as structuralist theory and student protest. Yet this collection reveals the broader material and institutional forces—both inside and outside of the university—that have long shaped the field. Beginning with the first investigations of cinema in the early twentieth century, this volume provides detailed examinations of the varied social, political, and intellectual milieus in which knowledge of cinema has been generated. The contributors explain how multiple instantiations of film study have had a tremendous influence on the methodologies, curricula, modes of publication, and professional organizations that now constitute the university-based discipline. Extending the historical insights into the present, contributors also consider the directions film study might take in changing technological and cultural environments. -- Publisher description Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index ISBN: 9780822342892 Contents: The Academy and Motion Pictures / Lee Grieveson, Haidee Wasson -- Making Cinema Knowable -- Cinema Studies and the Conduct of Conduct / Lee Grieveson Taking Liberties: The Payne Fund Studies and the Creation of the Media Expert / Mark Lynn Anderson "Reaching the Multimillions": Liberal Internationalism and the Establishment of Documentary Film / Zoe Druick Young Art, Old Colleges: Early Episodes in the American Study of Film / Dana Polan -- Making Cinema Educational -- Studying Movies at the Museum: The Museum of Modern Art and Cinema's Changing Object / Haidee Wasson Classrooms, Clubs, and Community Circuits: Cultural Authority and the Film Council Movement, 1946-1957 / Charles R.

It challenges presumptions of visual primacy in experimental cinema and rethinks screen music discourse in light of the aesthetics of non-commercial imperatives. Several themes run through the book, connecting with and significantly enlarging upon current critical discourse surrounding realism and audibility in the fiction film, the role of music in mainstream cinema, and the audiovisual strategies of experimental film. The contributors investigate repertoires and artists from Europe and the USA through the critical lenses of synchronicity and animated sound, interrelations of experimentation in image and sound, audiovisual synchresis and dissonance, experimental soundscape traditions, found-footage film, re-mediation of pre-existent music and sound, popular and queer sound cultures, and a diversity of radical technological, aesthetic, tropes in film media traversing the work of early pioneers such as Walther Ruttmann and Len Lye, through the mid-century innovations of Norman McLaren, Stan Brakhage, Lis Rhodes, Kenneth Anger, Andy Warhol, and studio collectives in Poland, to latter-day experimentalists John Smith and Bill Morrison, as well as the contemporary practices of Vjing. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9780190469900 Contents: Preface - Jeremy Barham -- Introduction - Holly Rogers -- Chapter 1: Absolute Sounding Images: Abstract Film and Radio Drama of the 1920s as Complementary Forms of a Media Specific Art - Dieter Daniels -- Chapter 2: A Primitivism of the Senses: The Role of Music in Len Lye's Experimental Animation, -- Malcolm Cook -- Chapter 3: An Educational Avant-Garde: Sound and Music in Julien Bryan's OIAA Films on Latin America, 1942-1949 - James Tobias -- Chapter 4: bup bup bup: Aural Innovation in the Films of Norman McLaren - Terence Dobson -- Chapter 5: Sights and Sounds of the Moving Mind: The Visionary Soundtracks of Stan Brakhage - Eric Smigel -- Chapter 6: Discontinuities and Resynchronisations: The Use of Sound in Polish Experimental Cinema from the 1930s to the 1980s - Daniel Muzyczuk -- Chapter 7: Grid Intensities: Hearing Structures in Chantal Akerman's Films of the 1970s - Paul Hegarty -- Chapter 8: Meaning and Musicality: Sound-Image Relations in the Films of John Smith - Andy Birtwistle -- Chapter 9: Audiovisual Dissonance in Found-Footage Film - Holly Rogers -- Chapter 10: Rebalancing the Picture/Sound Relationship: The Audiovisual Compositions of Lis Rhodes - Aimee Mollaghan -- Chapter 11: Sounding Decay in the Digital Age: Audio-Visions of Decasia (2002) and Lyrical Nitrate (1991) - Nessa Johnston -- Chapter 12: The Sound of Queer Experimental Film - Juan A.

Call No: 61 [929:7] Author: Wild, Jennifer Edition: 2015 Place: Oakland Publisher: University of California Press PubDate: 2015 PhysDes: 344, xv p. ; illus. ; 23 cm Subject: 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 site ISBN: 9780520279896 Contents: List of Illustrations Acknowledgments INTRODUCTION: THE CINEMA’S LESSONS 1.

Call No: 761 RAS Author: Rascaroli, Laura Source: Adrian Miles Place: United States Publisher: Wallflower Press PubDate: [2009] PhysDes: viii, 226 p. : ill. ; 24 cm Subject: AVANT-GARDE FILMS; FAROCKI, HARUN; MARKER, CHRIS; GODARD, JEAN-LUC; SOKUROV, ALEKSANDR; PASOLINI, PIER PAOLO Summary: "The Personal Camera is an exploration of an elusive but increasingly compelling field: essayistic cinema. The essay film, together with its cognate forms - the diary, the travelogue, the notebook and the self-portrait - is cinema in the first person. It is a cinema of thought, of investigation and self-reflection in which the filmmaker, instead of withdrawing behind the camera, comes out into the open to say 'I', to take responsibility, and to address and engage with the spectator within a shared space of embodied subjectivity. Authorial, experimental and radical, essayistic cinema belongs within the lineage of avantgarde and political filmmaking, and responds above all to the need we feel today for more contingent, autobiographical, private forms of expression. By engaging with directors such as Jean-Luc Godard, Chris Marker, Harun Farocki, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Aleksandr Sokurov, Michelangelo Antonioni, Derek Jarman, Federico Fellini, Jonas Mekas and Agnes Varda, this book -- provides novel answers to some of the seminal questions of cinema: on the nature of the cinematographic experience, on authorship and spectatorship, on the filmic commitment to truth and on the state of subjectivity today." --Book Jacket.

Chanan's thematic approach takes in topics such as the documentary before documentary, how documentary film language works, the veracity of the image, the construction of the soundtrack, the migration of documentary to television, political documentary, censorship, first-person film making, and the relation of the archives to history and memory. Drawing on examples of documentary cinema in Japan, Iran, and Latin America as well as Europe and the USA, Chanan argues that documentary provides a crucial public space in which ideas are debated, opinion is formed and those in authority are held to account.

book		Robert Beavers / Rebekah Rutkoff (Ed.) Vienna, Austria: FilmmuseumSynemaPublikationen, Call No: 81BEA ROB Author: Rutkoff, Rebekah CorpAuthor: O¨sterreichisches Filmmuseum --SYNEMA-Gesellschaft fu¨r Film und Medien Source: AU Place: Vienna, Austria Publisher: FilmmuseumSynemaPublikationen PhysDes: 219 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 20 cm Subject: CRITICISM; EXPERIMENTAL FILMS; AVANT-GARDE FILMS; Beavers, Robert; WORK DONE (US, Robert Beavers, 2000) Summary: "In a career spanning five decades, Robert Beavers has distinguished himself as one of the most important American avant-garde filmmakers. From My Hand Outstretched to the Winged Distance and Sightless Measure, his cycle of 18 films made across Europe since 1967, to Pitcher of Colored Light (2007) and The Suppliant (2010), intimate portraits shot in the U.S., Beavers has produced a deeply original film language framed by his use of colored filters and mattes. His investigations of the handwork of anonymous artisans complement his dialogues with Ruskin, Leonardo, and Borromini in Ruskin (1975/1997), From the Notebook of... (1971/1998), and The Hedge Theater (1986/2002). This volume contains critical investigations of Beavers' most important films and a collection of the filmmaker's own writings. Occupying a unique space between poetry and philosophy, his aphoristic meditations vivify his own work and generously illuminate the art of film." -- BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes bibliography and filmography ISBN: 9783901644696 Language: English Donation: Senses of Cinema Contents: Preface / Rebekah Rutkoff -- 10th of July, 1967 / Gregory J.
