20 years from the waist up : tales of a TV news anchor / by Richard Morecroft Sydney: HarperCollins, 2002. Call No: 81MOR MOR Author: Morecroft, Richard Source: AT Place: Sydney Publisher: HarperCollins PubDate: 2002 PhysDes: 285 p., [16]p. of plates : ill. (some col.), ports. (some col.) ; 24 cm Subject: AUSTRALIA; AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION; BROADCASTING. AUSTRALIA; NEWS PRESENTERS. AUSTRALIA; NEWS PROGRAMMES; NEWS PROGRAMMES. AUSTRALIA; TELEVISION; TELEVISION. AUSTRALIA; MORECROFT, RICHARD Summary: "Richard Morecroft is a familiar face in Australian homes... from the waist up! Now, in this collection of amusing anecdotes and surprising stories, Richard reveals the lighter side of life for a serious broadcaster. Why does our favourite news anchor have his own halo? Does a baby bat in his shirt help him read the headlines? And what's the worst mistake he's ever made on air? Then there are times when the public and private collide. Beaming into thousands of homes each night guarantees familiarity, but sometimes Richard gets more than he bargains for. Like being hugged and kissed in a lift by a complete stranger...Like being stalked in a car park by senior citizens...Like being accused of having a secret facelift...
Richard Morecroft has been the face of ABC television news for almost two decades. In addition to his familiar nightly news role, he has fronted current affairs and business programs, anchored election broadcasts, written and narrated wildlife and other documentaries, and hosted a range of educational producations.
... and what does he wear under the newsdesk?" -- BOOK BLURB ISBN: 0732275105 Contents: -- a bit below the belt -- foot in mouth disease -- a little nip and tuck -- the voice of god -- 'is that a flying fox in your pocket...?' -- the ties that blind -- 'im sorry, ill read that again -- getting on famously -- weather...or not -- sound system -- '...and it's good night from him' -- to sleep, perchance to...aargh! -- media exposure -- but I want to be a lion tamer! -- centrefolds and a cold shower -- animal antics -- write off! -- early daze -- twilight zone -- clive hale's eyebrow -- stage fright -- the truth, the whole truth... -- and that's the news to this minute -- richard's bio in brief --

Edward Buscombe provides an illuminating guide to a hundred key films of the genre, from Broken Arrow to The Wild Bunch by way of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, A Fistful of Dollars, The Magnificent Seven and The Searchers. Each entry includes a plot synopsis, major credits, and a commentary on the film’s significance, together with its production and exhibition history. Edward Buscombe’s introduction to the volume discusses the criteria for selecting a mere hundred essential Westerns out of the thousands that have been made since the birth of cinema. He considers the relative weight to be attached to the acknowledged great directors of the genre, such as John Ford and Sam Peckinpah, and to lesser known but significant figures such as Delmer Daves. He takes stock of the contribution of the great Western stars, including John Wayne, James Stewart and Clint Eastwood. And he argues for a selection that takes into account Westerns of the silent era, B-Westerns and singing cowboys, and those Westerns made outside America. [Taken from back cover.] ISBN: 1844571122

The act of documenting : documentary film in the 21st century / Brian Winston, Gail Vanstone and Wang Chi London: Bloomsbury Academic, 2017. Call No: 761 WIN Author: Winston, Brian; Vanstone, Gail; Chi, Wang Source: UK Place: London Publisher: Bloomsbury Academic PubDate: 2017 PhysDes: xii ; 271 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm Subject: DOCUMENTARY FILMS; FILMMAKING; AESTHETICS; EDITING; PRODUCTION; CAMERAS Summary: “Fiercely argued, urgently rendered, and rigorously researched, The Act of Documenting whacks through the ethical, political, moral, evidentiary, and argumentative acts undergirding documentary production and reception. This gutsy, vital book cuts to the core of documentary: it interrogates the place of documentary in the world and how it engages people and ideas in ways that truly matter. Moving adroitly between the histories of analog documentary and the promising landscapes of digital forms, this substantial, sage book irrefutably shows that ethics, politics, and philosophical inquiry override formats, interfaces, and technologies. Polemical yet lyrical, forceful yet inviting, this book leaves the reader exhilarated with new ways of thinking about and through documentary. The opening chapter précis could be assembled as an intellectual toolkit for all us in the act of documentary-theorists, historians, practitioners, programmers, or offered as a manifesto cracking open the most salient issues demanding our attention and action.” -- Patricia R. Zimmermann, Professor of Screen Studies, Ithaca College, USA Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index ISBN: 9781501309175

Adaptation, awards culture, and the value of prestige / Edited by Colleen Kennedy-Karpat and Eric Sandberg Cham, Switzerland: Springer International Publishing, 2017. Call No: 753 ADA Author: Kennedy-Karpat, Colleen Place: Cham, Switzerland Publisher: Springer International Publishing PubDate: 2017 PhysDes: ix, illustrations (colour), 22cm Series: Palgrave studies in adaptation and visual culture Subject: ADAPTATIONS; ADAPTATIONS. AUSTEN, JANE; ADAPTATIONS. SHAKESPEARE, WILLIAM; AUTHORSHIP; COMIC STRIPS; CULTURE AND THE CINEMA; INTERTEXUALITY; TARANTINO, QUENTIN; ALL ABOUT EVE (US, Joseph L. Mankiewicz, 1950); GREAT GATSBY, THE (US/AT, Baz Luhrmann, 2013); MUSIC IN FILMS; WOLF HALL [TV] (UK, 2015) Summary: This book explores the intersection between adaptation studies and what James F. English has called the “economy of prestige,” which includes formal prize culture as well as less tangible expressions such as canon formation, fandom, authorship, and performance. The chapters explore how prestige can affect many facets of the adaptation process, including selection, approach, and reception. The first section of this volume deals directly with cycles of influence involving prizes such as the Pulitzer, the Man Booker, and other major awards. The second section focuses on the juncture where adaptation, the canon, and awards culture meet, while the third considers alternative modes of locating and expressing prestige through adapted and adaptive intertexts. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of adaptation, cultural sociology, film, and literature. -- [taken from publishers site] Notes: Includes index ISBN: 9783319528533 Contents: 1.Adaptation and Systems of Cultural Value / Eric Sandberg -- 2.The Pulitzers Go to Hollywood / Thomas Leitch -- 3.Beware of Imitations: All about Eve (1950) / Laurence Raw -- 4.Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall(s) and the Circulation of Cultural Prestige / Eric Sandberg -- 5.Adapting Queerness, Queering Adaptation: Fun Home on Broadway / Joanna Mansbridge -- 6.Oliver's Auteurs: The Cases of Lean and Polanski / Jeffrey E.

Beginning with the history of Shakespeare on film, from Olivier's and Branagh's Hamlet, contributors examine screen versions of literary classics, from Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter and Louisa May Alcott's Little Women to Thomas Keneally's Schindler's Ark and Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting. Adaptations goes on to consider adaptation in reverse: How writers like Virginia Woolf incorporated cinematic elements into their work, and explains why there had to be a novel of Jane Campion's The Piano. Contributors examine adaptations from comics to film, such as the Batman movies, Star Trek's incarnations as a long-running tv series, and then as a sequence of movies, and 101 Dalmations' [sic] move from children's novel to cartoon to live-action film." - BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 226-238) and index ISBN: 041516737X (hbk); 0415167388 (pbk); 041516737X (hardcover : alk. paper); 0415167388 (pbk : alk. paper) LON: 14255526 Contents: Part 1: an overview -- Adaptations: the contemporary dilemmas / Imelda Whelehan; Part 2: from text to screen -- Introduction / Deborah Cartmell -- The Shakespeare on screen industry / Deborah Cartmell -- Conservative Austen, radical Austen: Sense and Sensibility from text to screen / Julian North -- From Emma to Clueless: taste, pleasure and the scene of history / Esther Sonnet -- Imagining the puritan body: the 1995 cinematic version of Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter / Roger Bromley -- Four Little Women: three films and a novel / Pat Kirkham and Sarah Warren -- Will Hollywood never learn?

"Categorized by genre, and featuring movies by master directors such as Steven Spielberg, Stanley Kubrick, Robert Altman, Frank Capra, and John Ford, as well as relative newcomers such as Chris Eyre and Christopher Nolan, Adaptations offers insight into the process of turning a short story into a screenplay, one that, when successful, doesn't take drastic liberties with the text upon which it is based, but doesn't mirror its source material too closely either."--BOOK JACKET.

Delving equally into the individual approaches of directors and writers, Hsiu-Chuang Deppman initiates readers into the exciting possibilities emanating from the world of Chinese cinema. The seven in-depth studies include a diverse array of forms (cinematic adaptation of literature, literary adaptation of film, auto-adaptation, and non-narrative adaptation) and a variety of genres (martial arts, melodrama, romance, autobiography, documentary drama). Complementing this formal diversity is a geographical range that far exceeds the cultural, linguistic, and physical boundaries of China.

In a reading of the formal aspects in film imagery in contemporary British films spanning social realist, melodrama and horror genres, Hockenhull demonstrates how the spiritual aspects of landscape and nature mobilise a Neo-Romantic effect. She traces the influence of Romanticism and notions of the Sublime in key British films including 'Sweet Sixteen', 'The Queen', 'Ratcatcher', 'Eden Lake', '28 Days Later', 'My Summer of Love' and 'The Last Great Wilderness'. Operating at the intersection between film theory, art theory and aesthetics, this is a vital contribution which enables a fuller, multidimensional understanding of cinematic experience." -- BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.

Affective authorship : contemporary Asian Australian documentary in Studies in Australasian cinema (2008) vol.2 iss.2 p.157-170 Author: Smaill, Belinda PhysDes: Article Subject: DOCUMENTARY FILMS. AUSTRALIA; ASIANS IN FILMS. AUSTRALIA; ETHNIC GROUPS AND THE CINEMA; PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF FILMS; FINISHED PEOPLE, THE (AT, Khoa Do, 2003); LETTERS TO ALI (AT, Clara Law, 2004); SADNESS: A MONOLOGUE BY WILLIAM YANG (AT, Tony Ayres, 1999); CHINESE TAKEAWAY (AT, Mitzi Goldman, 2002) Summary: Documentary is a genre not widely understood through its capacity to engage the emotions. This article works to acknowledge the affective labour performed by documentary and, more specifically, the way emotions give meaning to documentary subjects. The analysis explores the production of Asian Australian subjects as documentary authors in four prominent films produced over the previous decade: Chinese Takeaway (Mitzi Goldman, 2002), Sadness: A Monologue by William Yang (Tony Ayres, 1999), The Finished People (Khoa Do, 2003) and Letters to Ali (Clara Law. 2004). These texts allow for a fruitful examination of the way the emotions that shape the expression of these author-subjects, such as mourning and care, might impact on the documentary representation of cultural otherness. Asian Australian subjectivity coalesces in and around these texts in a manner that is founded on the activity of mourning. Included here are not only the bereavements of loved ones, but also the losses that are bound to the movements of modernity, such as the lost fullness which is the promise of diaspora, the failure or absence of universal citizenship and the lack of safety in life lived in advanced capitalism. This article explores not only the absences suggested in these films, but also how these absences present a site of ethical encounter for the viewer that both resists reducing and assimilating the Asian Australian author to a devalued ethnic other while also addressing a community of viewers through a relation of reciprocity based in caring attachments to the social realm. -- Abstract Notes: Part of Special Issue: Transnational Asian Australian Cinema. Part 1

After taste : cultural value and the moving image / edited by Julia Vassilieva and Constantine Verevis Abingdon: Routledge, 2012. Call No: 62(04) AFT Source: K Place: Abingdon Publisher: Routledge PubDate: 2012 PhysDes: viii, 173 pages ; 25 cm. Subject: B-MOVIES; CRITICISM; RECEPTION; AMATEUR FILMS; LOW BUDGET FILMS; CULTURE AND THE CINEMA; SOCIETY AND THE CINEMA; POPULAR CULTURE AND THE CINEMA Summary: In the wake of the debates over high/low culture distinction spilling into the effective dismantling of the boundary that once separated them, the past decade has seen the explosion of ‘bad taste’ production on screen. Starting with paracinema or ‘badfilm’ – a movement that has grown up around sleazy, excessive, or poorly executed B-movies and has come to encompass disreputable and unworthy films – this trend has been evident in various formats: on television and in video-art, low-budget and straight to TV films, amateur and home movies. The proliferation of trash on screen can be seen as delivering the final blow to the vexed issue of taste.
More importantly, it prompts a reconsideration of some critical issues surrounding production, circulation, understanding and teaching of ‘bad objects’ in the media. This collection of essays, written by international film and television scholars, provides detailed critical analysis of the issues surrounding judgements of cultural value and taste, feeling and affect, cultural morals and politics, research methodologies and teaching strategies in the new landscape of ‘after taste’ media. Addressing global and local developments – from global Hollywood to Australian indigenous film and television, through auteurs Sergei Eisenstein to Jerry Bruckheimer, on to examples such as Twilight to Sukiyaki Western Django – the essays in this book offer a range of critical tools for understanding the recent shifts affecting cultural, aesthetic and political value of the moving image.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Continuum: Journal of Media & Cultural Studies. Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index. ISBN: 9780415845939 Contents: 1.

Today she is best known as the innovative “mother” of the French New Wave film movement of the 1950s and '60s and for her multimedia art exhibitions. Varying her use of different media, she is a figure who defies easy categorization. In this extensively researched book, Rebecca J. DeRoo demonstrates how Varda draws upon the histories of art, photography, and film to complicate the overt narratives in her works and to advance contemporary cultural politics. Based on interviews with Varda and unparalleled access to Varda's archives, this interdisciplinary study constructs new frameworks for understanding one of the most versatile talents in twentieth and twenty-first century culture.

The altering eye : contemporary international cinema / Robert Phillip Kolker Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1983. Call No: 62 KOL Author: Kolker, Robert Phillip Source: US Place: Oxford Publisher: Oxford University Press PubDate: 1983 PhysDes: 428 p. : ill. ; 21 cm Subject: HISTORY OF CINEMA; CRITICISM; PHILOSOPHY AND THE CINEMA; DE SICA, VITTORIO; GODARD, JEAN-LUC Summary: " Most filmmakers, especially in the United States, have chosen not to upset their audiences. But since World War 2, an alternative cinema has emerged on a significant scale, particularly in Europe and Latin America- a cinema that challenges rather than soothes, that questions assumptions rather than reinforces them. This kind of film - "made in a spirit of resistance, rebellion, and refusal" - is the focus of this important and stimulating study. Investigating many movements and styles, Robert Phillip Kolker illuminates both their diversity and their common threads. He starts with the seminal achievements of the Italian neo-realists (Rossellini, De Sica, Visconti), examining the filmmakers who influenced them and their influence in turn on later filmmakers in Engalnd, Brazil, India and Europe. He looks at the modernist experiments of Resnais and Antonioni and pays special attention to the directors of the French New Wave (Godard, Truffaut, Chabrol, Rohmer, Rivette), who broke down the remaining traditions of cinematic storytelling and invented new ones.
With deftness and clarity, Kolker discusses the New Wave's influence on such older directors as Bresson and Bunuel, as well as on younger ones, such as Ken Russell, Nicolas Roeg, and Jean-Marie Straub. He investigates the New German Cinema of Fassbinder, Wenders, and Herzog, filmmakers who have furthered the effort to make cinema a tool of enquiry and visual invention. He concludes with a look at specific political and psychological elements in contemporary film, particularly in the work of revolutionary Latin American filmmakers, the Hungarian director Miklos Jancso, as well as Godard, Bertolucci, Fassbinder, Losey, and Bunuel." -- BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes index; Bibliography: p. 405-415 ISBN: 0195033027 Contents: -- introduction -- one: the vaildity of image -- two: the substance of form -- three: politics, psychology, and memory -- notes -- bibliography -- index -- URL status: URL: 'http://-'

'Alternative Worlds in Hollywood Cinema' is the first book to analyze these imaginary realms, tracing their construction and development across periods, genres and history.
"Through an analysis of such landmark films as 'The Wizard of Oz', 'It's a Wonderful Life' and 'Groundhog Day', Walters reveals how unconventional worlds are crucial to each film's dramatic agenda and narrative structure. This groundbreaking volume unifies decades of divergent work by film scholars and points the way towards a new theoretical framework for understanding fantasy in the context of popular film. 'Alternative Worlds in Hollywood Cinema' will be an essential resource for film studies scholars and movie buffs alike." (Taken from the back cover.)

The resulting portrait reveals a quixotic man whose films continue to delight and challenge audiences, both in the United States and beyond. Notes: Includes index and bibliography ISBN: 0571220894

Daniel Eagan's beautifully written and authoritative book is for anyone who loves American movies and who wants to learn more about them.

The Boston and Cambridge area is notable for nurturing these approaches to documentary film via institutions such as the MIT Film Section and the Film Study Center, the Carpenter Center and the Visual and Environmental Studies Department at Harvard. Scott MacDonald uses pragmatism's focus on empirical experience as a basis for measuring the groundbreaking achievements of such influential filmmakers as John Marshall, Robert Gardner, Timothy Asch, Ed Pincus, Miriam Weinstein, Alfred Guzzetti, Ross McElwee, Robb Moss, Nina Davenport, Steve Ascher and Jeanne Jordan, Michel Negroponte, John Gianvito, Alexander Olch, Amie Siegel, Ilisa Barbash, and Lucien Castaing-Taylor.

In this major examination of modern American cinema, one of our leading film critics ponders this question - and produces a wide-screen picture of the answer. Here in detail are the careers and creative milestones of the new "Whiz Kids" of hollywood - such glittering names as Scorsese, De Palma, Lucas, Spielberg, Altman, Mazursky, and Coppola. Here are the new masters of comedy - Neil Simon, Mel Brooks, Woody Allen. Here are the blockbusters that made fiscal history- Jaws, The Exorcist, the Godfather, Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Nashville, Superman, and all the others. Here, too, are the masterpieces that passed unnoticed, and the disasters that Hollywood would like to forget. Here are the new writers turning out novelizations of screenplays and screenplays of novels, and the current and rising stars who collectively represent America's vision of glamour and aristocracy. Above all, here is a bottom-line report on the new economics that have turned Hollywood from an old-fashioned industry centered on making movies into a "leisure-time" business obsessed with making money for coporate owners. Add to this a complete rundown of the top critics' choice for the best films of the decade, and a comprehensive "Who's Who" in current American filmmaking, and you have American Film Now- the definitve guide to the film industry as it is today and as it will be tomorrow."

AUSTRALIA Summary: "Ana Kokkinos is an Australian screenwriter, producer and director who has worked in film and television for almost thirty years. Best known for her fictional films - Antamosi, Only the Brave, Head On, The Book of Revelation and Blessed - her work is often bold and confrontational in its exploration of the alienation, estrangement and visceral distresses of those outside the mainstream. In the first major study of the director, Ana Kokkinos: An Oeuvre of Outsiders offers new readings of and across her fictional oeuvre by broadly tracing the deployment of the outsider as an organising motif." - taken from back cover.

This study is divided into two parts and locates the (postmodern) Gothic in twelve Australian/New Zealand films ranging from Ted Kotcheffs Wake in Fright (1971) to Peter Jacksons Heavenly Creatures (1994). Part one theorizes the Gothic as a subversive cultural mode that foreshadows postmodernism in terms of its antithetical relationship with Enlightenment ideals. Interconnections are made between proto-postmodern aspects of early Gothic literature and the appropriation and intensification of these aspects in what has been dubbed the postmodern Gothic. The dissertation then argues that the Antipodes was/is constructed through Euro-centric discourse(s) as a Gothic/(proto)-postmodern space or place, this construction manifest in, and becoming intertwined with the postmodern in post 1970s Antipodean cinema. In part two, a cross-section of Australian/New Zealand films is organized into cinematic sub-genres in line with their similar thematic preoccupations and settings, all films argued as reflecting a marked postmodern Gothic sensibility. In its conclusion, the study finds that S2Antipodean Gothic cinemaS3, particularly since the 1970s, can be strongly characterized by its combining of Gothic/postmodernist modes of representation, this convergence constitutive of a postmodernized version of the Gothic which is heavily influenced by Euro-centric constructions of the Antipodes in Gothic/(proto)-postmodern related terms.

Any gun can play : the essential guide to Euro-westerns / Kevin Grant Godalming, Surrey: FAB Press, May 2011. Call No: 736.11 Author: Grant, Kevin Edition: August 2013 Place: Godalming, Surrey Publisher: FAB Press PubDate: May 2011 PhysDes: 480 pages : illustrated ; 26 cm Subject: WESTERNS. EUROPEAN COUNTRIES; WESTERNS. ITALY; LEONE, SERGIO; NERO, FRANCO; BIG GUNDOWN, THE [RESA DEI CONTI, LA] (IT/SP, Sergio Sollima, 1966); BLINDMAN (US/IT, Ferdinando Baldi, 1972); BULLET FOR THE GENERAL, A (IT, Damiano Damiani, 1966); CORBUCCI, SERGIO; EASTWOOD, CLINT; FULCI, LUCIO; HILL, TERENCE; SPENCER, BUD; VAN CLEEF, LEE Summary: The success of Sergio Leone's 'Dollars' trilogy in the '60s sparked a gold rush, as a legion of European film-makers - many of them sharing the get-rich-quick mentality of Leone's mercenary anti-heroes - followed the master's lead to create some of the wildest Westerns ever made.
Cynical and stylish, bloody and baroque, Euro-westerns replaced straight-shooting sheriffs and courageous cowboys with amoral adventurers, whose murderous methods would shock the heroes of Hollywood Westerns. These films became box-office sensations around the world, and their influence can still be felt today.
Any Gun Can Play puts the phenomenon into perspective, exploring the films' wider reaches, their recurrent themes, characters, quirks and motifs. It examines Euro-westerns in relation to their American ancestors and the mechanics of the Italian popular film industry, and spotlights the unsung actors, directors and other artists who subverted the 'code' of the Western and dragged it into the modern age.
Based on years of research backed up by interviews with many of the genre's leading lights, including actors Franco Nero, Giuliano Gemma and Gianni Garko, writer Sergio Donati, and directors Sergio Sollima and Giuliano Carnimeo, Any Gun Can Play will satisfy both connoisseurs and the curious.
Complete with a foreword by Euro-Western legend Franco Nero, this stunningly illustrated reference guide takes aim at the lingering notion that the genre has little to offer beyond the 'Dollars' films and a fistful of others, exposing the full, vibrant history of the Euro-western. -- publisher's web site Notes: Foreword by Franco Nero ISBN: 9781903254615

Call No: 740.1 APO Source: UK Place: London Publisher: Lanham Rowman & Littlefield PubDate: c2016 PhysDes: xxii, 231 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. Subject: APOCALYPSE IN FILMS; DISASTER FILMS; CIVILISATION (US, Raymond B. West, 1916); FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE, THE (US, Rex Ingram, 1921); BED SITTING ROOM, THE (UK, Richard Lester, 1969); [DOCTOR] DR STRANGELOVE: OR, HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB (UK, Stanley Kubrick, 1964); MELANCHOLIA (DK/SW/FR/G, Lars von Trier, 2011); OFFRET [SACRIFICE, THE] (SW/FR, Andrei Tarkovsky, 1986) Summary: We live in a world at risk. Dire predictions about our future or the demise of planet earth persist. Even fictional representations depict narratives of decay and the end of a commonly shared social reality. Along with recurring Hollywood blockbusters that imagine the end of the world, there has been a new wave of zombie features as well as independent films that offer various visions of the future.
The Apocalypse in Film: Dystopias, Disasters, and Other Visions about the End of the World offers an overview of Armageddon in film from the silent era to the present. This collection of essays discusses how such films reflect social anxieties—ones that are linked to economic, ecological, and cultural factors. Featuring a broad spectrum of international scholars specializing in different historical genres and methodologies, these essays look at a number of films, including the silent classic The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the black comedy Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, the Mayan calendar disaster epic, 2012, and in particular, Lars Von Trier’s Melancholia, the focus of several essays.
As some filmmakers translate the anxiety about a changing global climate and geo-political relations into visions of the apocalypse, others articulate worries about the planet’s future by depicting chemical warfare, environmental disasters, or human made destruction. This book analyzes the emergence of apocalyptic and dystopic narratives and explores the political and social situations on which these films are based. Contributing to the dialogue on dystopic culture in war and peace, The Apocalypse in Film will be of interest to scholars in film and media studies, border studies, gender studies, sociology, and political science. -- taken from publisher's site Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index ISBN: 9781442260276 Donation: donated by Senses of Cinema, 2016 Contents: Introduction / Karen A.

(US, Gordon Douglas, 1954); KISS ME DEADLY (US, Robert Aldrich, 1955); REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE (US, Nicholas Ray, 1955) Summary: " An Army of Phantoms- a major new work of film history and cultural criticism from J. Hoberman, one of the foremost film critics writing today addresses the dynamic synergy of American politics and American popular culture during the Cold War's first decade.
Heralded by a mushroom cloud over Hiroshima, the years between 1946 and 1956 brought an explosion of affluence and anxiety. Along with U.S. dominance over Europe and a new war in Asia came the birth of the civil rights movement and the first stirrings of a new youth culture. The period saw the movie industry purged of its political left at the same time as the ideological action hero John Wayne reached the peak of his career.
Analyzing Hollywood's cavalry Westerns, apocalyptic sci-fi flicks, and biblical spectaculars, along with media events, congressional hearings and political campaigns, and drawing on FBI files and studio records, Hoberman has orchestrated a colorful, sometimes surreal pageant wherein Cecil B. DeMille rubs shoulders with Douglas MacArthur, atomic tests are shown on live TV, God talks on the radio, and Joe McCarthy is bracketed with Marilyn Monroe.
Essential reading for film and history buffs, An Army of Phantoms expands on the analysis of the 1960's found in Hoberman's critically acclaimed The Dream Life and offers a lively and astute history of film that is also, to paraphrase Jean-Luc Godard, about the film of history." --Book Jacket.

For the past fifty years, the love/hate affair between the two has triggered vital aesthetic, social and political responses that constantly renew the way we understand our age. This book traces the story from early spatial experiments with film and video technologies to the current widespread use of projected images in museums and galleries. Why has there been a turn to the cinematic in contemporary art? What happens to the moving image when it shifts from the black box to the white cube, when cinema is exhibited? How does this challenge the traditional mediums of film, painting and sculpture? 'Art and the Moving Image' gathers together key texts including new, translated and previously unavailable essays by eminent writers and theorists including Giorgio Agamben, Beatriz Colomina, Serge Daney, Rosalind Krauss, Maurizio Lazzaratto and Peter Wollen. It offers an essential introduction to the complex field of art and the projected image for both students and general readers." -- Publisher's website.

The art of record offers a fascinating insight into the functions of documentary in film and television. Documentary's attempts to depict reality, and to comment on it, have provoked disagreement from the 1920s to the present day. Recent debates about knowledge and representation, and about the changing character of publiv culture, have increased its interests and relevance. John Corner presents a clear overview of the theoretical issues and critical debates around documentary, and discusses the development of the main styles and approaches, including dramadocs and fly-on-the-wall. He also looks at the dual identity of work in documentary - as both artefact and as reference.The book provides a valuable detailed analysis of powerful documentary films and programmes such as the classic 1930s films Coalface and Housing Problems (on aspects of contemporary work and environment), Cathy Come Home (whose presentation of homelessness had an enormous impact) and The Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter (about the treatment of women in US factories during World War Two)." -- BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p.

The artist between images and across media : James Clayden in Studies in Australasian cinema (2009) vol.3 iss.2 p.179-189 Author: Martin, Adrian PhysDes: Article Subject: DIGITAL CINEMA; EXPERIMENTAL FILMS. AUSTRALIA; CLAYDEN, JAMES Summary: There has been no shortage of proposals in recent years about what might constitute the ‘digital aesthetics’ of the audio-visual media. Most often these proposals of new aesthetic models are conceived in terms of a sharp break with conventional narrative form — where convention is yoked to Hollywood on the one hand, and a certain tradition of European art cinema on the other. However, a largely unexplored connection is the very fertile link between digital work and the traditions of experimental cinema. The prolific film-maker-painter — dramaturg, James Clayden, active since the early 1970s, is an especially important figure in the crossover from film to digital in Australia. With small amounts of government subsidy and finance raised from other sources, he has made several experimental features and a myriad of shorts in recent years. These have received more attention and acclaim at overseas film festivals than in Australia, where the experimental exhibition scene has largely atrophied. Intriguingly, Clayden has gone back to celluloid works (on Super 8 or 16mm) and re-fashioned them in a radical way for several digital projects; he has also been preparing a more conventional narrative art-cinema project. This article will use these rich intersections of forms, gauges and modes in Clayden's recent career as a way of approaching a new theorization of digital aesthetics in Australian cinema. -- Abstract Notes: Part of a special issue on digital cinema in Australia and New Zealand

ASIAN COUNTRIES; WORLD CINEMA; BLOCKBUSTERS; ANIMATION; HORROR FILM; GHOST FILMS; EROTIC FILMS; EROTIC FILMS. ASIA Summary: "This book explores the range and dynamism of contemporary Asian cinemas, covering East Asia (China, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan), Southeast Asia (Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia), South Asia (Bollywood), and West Asia (Iran), in order to discover what is common about them and to engender a theory or concept of "Asian Cinema". It goes beyond existing work which provides a field survey of Asian cinema, probing more deeply into the field of Asian Cinema, arguing that Asian Cinema constitutes a separate pedagogical subject, and putting forward an alternative cinematic paradigm. The book covers "styles", including the works of classical Asian Cinema masters, and specific genres such as horror films, and Bollywood and Anime, two very popular modes of Asian Cinema; "spaces", including artistic use of space and perspective in Chinese cinema, geographic and personal space in Iranian cinema, the private "erotic space" of films from South Korea and Thailand, and the persistence of the family unit in the urban spaces of Asian big cities in many Asian films; and "concepts" such as Pan-Asianism, Orientalism, Nationalism and Third Cinema. The rise of Asian nations on the world stage has been coupled with a growing interest, both inside and outside Asia, of Asian culture, of which film is increasingly an indispensable component--this book provides a rich, insightful overview of what exactly constitutes Asian Cinema." -- BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes bibliographic references and index; Includes filmography ISBN: 9781138815780 Contents: pt.

ARKADIN (FR/SP/IT, Orson Welles, 1955); CITIZEN KANE (US, Orson Welles, 1941) Summary: "The films of Orson Welles inhabit the spaces of cities -- from America's industrializing midlandto its noirish borderlands, from Europe's medieval fortresses to its Kafkaesque labyrinths and postwar rubblescapes. His movies take us through dark streets to confront nightmarish struggles for power, the carnivalesque and bizarre, and the shadows and light of human character. This ambitious new study explores Welles's vision of cities by following recurring themes across his work, including urban transformation, race relations and fascism, the utopian promise of cosmopolitanism, and romantic nostalgia for archaic forms of urban culture. It focuses on the personal and political foundation of Welles's cinematic cities -- the way he invents urban spaces on film to serve his dramatic, thematic, and ideological purposes. The book's critical scope draws on extensive research in international archives and builds on the work of previous scholars." -- BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index ISBN: 9780231173414 Donation: donated by Senses of Cinema

Audiences : defining and researching screen entertainment reception / edited by Ian Christie Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press, 2012. Available at OAPEN (open access) Call No: 410.3 AUD Place: Amsterdam Publisher: Amsterdam University Press PubDate: 2012 PhysDes: 332 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm. Series: Key debates ; 3. Subject: AUDIENCE RECEPTION; AUDIENCE RESEARCH; AUDIENCES; SOCIETY AND THE CINEMA; EXHIBITION; BOX OFFICE Summary: "This timely volume engages with one of the most important shifts in recent film studies: the turn away from text-based analysis towards the viewer. Historically, this marks a return to early interest in the effect of film on the audience by psychoanalysts and psychologists, which was overtaken by concern with the 'effects' of film, linked to calls for censorship and moral panics rather than to understanding the mental and behavioral world of the spectator. Early cinema history has revealed the diversity of film-viewing habits, while traditional 'box office' studies, which treated the audience initially as a homogeneous market, have been replaced by the study of individual consumers and their motivations. Latterly, there has been a marked turn towards more sophisticated economic and sociological analysis of attendance data. And as the film experience fragments across multiple formats, the perceptual and cognitive experience of the individual viewer (who is also an auditor) has become increasingly accessible. With contributions from Gregory Waller, John Sedgwick and Martin Barker, this work spans the spectrum of contemporary audience studies, revealing work being done on local, non-theatrical and live digital transmission audiences, and on the relative attraction of large-scale, domestic and mobile platforms."--Publisher's website.

Call No: 81:634DEH STA Author: Starrs, David Bruno Source: AT Place: Brisbane, Queensland PubDate: 2009 PhysDes: 263 p. : ill. ; 30 cm Subject: AUTEUR THEORY; DIRECTORS. AUSTRALIA; SOUND; THEORY; DE HEER, ROLF; DANCE ME TO MY SONG (AT, Rolf de Heer, 1998); DR PLONK (AT, Rolf de Heer, 2007); EPSILON (AT/IT, Rolf de Heer, 1995); OLD MAN WHO READ LOVE STORIES (AT/SP/FR/NL, Rolf de Heer, 2000); PROPOSITION, THE (AT/UK, John Hillcoat, 2005); TRACKER, THE (AT, Rolf de Heer, 2002) Summary: "An interpretative methodology for understanding meaning in cinema since the 1950s, auteur analysis is an approach to film studies in which an individual, usually the director, is studied as the author of his or her films. The principal argument of this thesis is that proponents of auteurism have privileged examination of the visual components in a film-makers' body of work, neglecting the potentially significant role played by sound.
The thesis seeks to address this problematic imbalance by interrogating the creative use of sound in the films written and directed Rolf de Heer, asking the question, "Does his use of sound make Rolf de Heer and aural auteur?" In so far as the term 'aural' encompasses everything in the film that is heard by the audience, the analysis seeks to discover if de Heer has, as Peter Wollen suggests of the auteur and her or his directing of the visual components (1968, 1972 and 1998), unconsciously left a detectable aural signature on his films.
The thesis delivers an innovative outcome by demonstrating that auteur analysis that goes beyond the mise-en-scene (i.e. visuals) is productive and worthwhile as an interpretative response to film. De Heer's use of the aural point of view and binaural sound recording, his interest in providing a 'voice' for marginalised people, his self-penned song lyrics, his close and early collaboration with composer Graham Tardif and sound desinger Jim Currie, his 'hands-on' approach to sound recording and sound editing and his predilection for making films about sound are all shown to be examples of de Heer's aural auteurism.
As well as the three published (or accepted for publication) interviews with de Heer, Tardif and Currie, the dissertation consists of seven papers refereed and published (or accepted for publication) in journals and internatiional conference proceedings, a literature review and a unifying essay.

Hall, 1939); ANTS IN HIS PANTS (AT, William Freshman, 1939) Summary: Comedy has been a perpetual part of Australian film, in which humour reflects Australia's adaptation in times of crisis, social change and technological advances. This was never more so than in the 1930s, when Australia produced more comedy feature films than in any other decade before 1970. These films of the 1930s embraced the new technology of sound, made local vaudeville performers into movie stars, offered escape from the Depression and revealed a diverse and international Australia. In these films, Australia moved further from Empire and the bush, forged the Digger legend, responded to cultural diversity and viewed itself as a modern, urban nation. Influenced by Hollywood, Australian comedies of the 1930s adapted international styles to local points of view. Based on research at the National Film and Sound Archive, Lesley Speed's book provides new insight into Australian comedy films of the 1930s and the extraordinary period of social change in which they were produced.

Titles covered were released between 1973 and 2010, a period coinciding with the revival of the long-dormant Australian film industry in the early 1970s, and continuing into the second wave of genre production spurred by the international success of the 2005 chiller Wolf Creek, The Cars That Ate Paris, The Last Wave, Roadgames, Razorback, Outback Vampires, Queen of the Damned, Black Water, and The Reef are among the titles represented. Each film is covered in a chapter that includes a cast and credits list, release information, contemporary reviews and DVD availability, as well as a synopsis and in-depth notes about the story, filmmaking techniques, acting performances, recurring themes and motifs, and overall effectiveness of the film as a work of horror.

The collection also explores the idea of popular culture at large.
