They link together political and social factors with matters of 'documentary language', addressing the particular questions of representational realism and of public communication which documentaries so sharply raise but which are relevant to a far wider range of mass media activities.
The specially commissioned essays in this volume offer a stimulating exploration of a lively and powerful mode; several indeed open up entirely new areas of media analysis. All are likely to offer the reader fresh insights." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Mass media.

Each essay focuses on one or two important documentaries, engaging in questions surrounding ethics, ideology, politics, power, race, gender, and representation -- but always in terms of how they arise out of or are involved in the reading of specific documentaries as particular textual constructions. By closely reading documentaries as rich visual works, this anthology fills a void in the critical writing on documentaries, which tends to privilege production over aesthetic pleasure. As we perceive and comprehend the world through visual media increasingly, understanding the textual strategies by which individual documentaries are organized has become critically important. Together, the essays cover the significant developments in the history of the documentary, from the first commercially released feature, Nanook of the North (1922), to modern independent productions, such as An American Family (1973), Tongues Untied (1989), and Finding Christa (1991), and including important national and stylistic movements and various production contexts from the mainstream to the avant-garde. Seth Feldman places Dziga Vertov's Man with a Movie Camera (1929) within the context of constructivism and futurism; Vivian Sobchack discusses the strategies of Bunuel's Las Hurdas (Land without Bread, 1931) in relation to surrealism; and Joanne Hershfield explores Que viva Mexico! (1932) as the presentation of an exotic culture by a European director. Documenting the Documentary offers clear, serious, and insightful analyses of documentary films, and is a welcome balancebetween theory and criticism, abstract conceptualization and concrete analysis. --FROM PUBLISHER'S SITENotes: includes bibliiographic references and indexISBN: 0814326390Contents: Filmmaker as hunter / William Rothman -- Peace between man and machine / Seth Feldman -- Paradise regained / Joanne Hershfield -- Synthetic vision / Vivian Sobchack -- Art of national projection / William Guynn -- Mass psychology of fascist cinema / Frank P.

He traces themes such as the influence of US crime drama on English film, and film adaptations of literary works as they appear in screen work from the 1930s to the present. A Canterbury Tale and the documentary Listen to Britain are analyzed in the context of village pageants and other wartime explorations of Englishness at risk. English crime dramas are set against the writings of George Orwell, while a famous line from Noel Coward also leads to a discussion of music and image in works including Brief Encounter and Look Back in Anger. Screen adaptation is also broached in analyses of the 1985 BBC version of Dickens's Bleak House and Merchant-Ivory's The Remains of the Day." - BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes notes and indexISBN: 9780253221773

The only natural colour process to be a commercial success before 1920 was Kinemacolor, a process invented by an Englishman, George A Smith, and exploited by an American, Charles Urban. This booklet tells the story of how Kinemacolor was developed, given its first public showing in London in 1909 and then shown in many countries in the world. Although it had its limitations, the process was successful for many years before the First World War. Some of the motion picture colour processes which superseded Kinemacolor are described. The work is based on a collection of apparatus, manuscripts, and ephemera given to the Science Museum by Charles Urban." - BOOK BLURBNotes: Reprint.

In 1946, fifty years after the appearance of the cinema as a regular form of public entertainment in Great Britain, the British film remained conspicuously unchronicled; and so to remedy the deficiency the British Film Institute set up a Research Committee under the chairmanship of the veteren film producer Cecil Hepworth, consisting of producer George Pearson, Ernest Lindgren, Curator of the National Film Library, Roger Manvell and Rachael Low. This volume is the product of their research. The first part of the book traces the growth of the British film industry from its earliest days, including details of production, distribution and exhibition, market conditions, showmanship and early film studios. The second part describes the films of the period, including actuality and topical films, travelogues, vaudeville, comedy, drama, panorama and trick films, as well as the development of film art and contemporary technique. Included are interviews and correspondance with many of the early film pioneers then still alive, extracts from film journalism and catalogues of the period, a record of the first public exhibitions and performances, and one hundred illustrations featuring posters, portraits, studios, travelling cinemas and a unique selection of early stills. After many years our of print, this volume is now re-issued with a new jacket to match the later volumes and will be welcomed by the many film fans, students and libraries who have neergetically campaigned for its re-release.

He shows that the conflict between ' realism' and 'tinsel' is not the simple dichotomy it might appear, and that the heritage of British cinema in the 1940s is much richer and more valuable than has hiterhto been realised." -- taken from back coverNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 260-265) and indexesISBN: 0415076846Contents: List of Illustrations -- General Editor's Preface -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction -- 1 Britain Alone -- 2 War Culture -- 3 Realism and Tinsel -- 4 The Rank Empire -- 5 Great Expectations -- 6 Passionate Friends? -- 7 Exotic Dreams -- 8 The Spiv Cycle -- 9 Morbid Burrowings -- 10 Nothing to Laugh at at All -- 11 Challenge to Hollywood -- Conclusion -- Chronology: Cinema and Society in the Forties -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index of Film Titles -- General Index
