Can a director, as the conductor of an orchestra of writers, actors, cameramen and technicians, stamp his personal vision on the films he makes? This and related questions are raised by this collection of statements made by famous directors about their art. Harry Geguld’s anthology of “patristic writings” runs from the days (in 1895) when Louis Lumiere filmed a train entering a station, by way of Charlie Chaplin’s knockabout ad-libbing, to the sophisticated ruminations of Antonioni and Bergman and the ideas behind the nouvelle vague. Here is D.W. Griffith’s scouting the very idea of talking pictures; Mack Sennett on custard pies; Eisenstein on three-dimensional film; Cocteau on the raw materials of illusion; Kurosawa on filming in Japan; Hitchcock on the macabre; and some other twenty leading directors on aspects of their work. In his introduction, Harry Geguld assesses the unique characteristics of motion pictures and comments refreshingly on the eternal controversy of “book into film”. [Taken from back cover.]ID2: 291

It provides a novel kind of guide to social policy, exploring how ideas about poor and homeless people have been reflected in popular culture and evaluating those images against the historical and contemporary reality. Richly illustrated and examining nearly 300 American-made films released between 1902 and 2015, Ghettos, Tramps, and Welfare Queens finds and describes representations of poor and homeless people and the places they have inhabited throughout the century-long history of U.S. cinema. It moves beyond the merely descriptive to deliberate whether cinematic representations of homelessness and poverty changed over time, and if there are patterns to be discerned. Ultimately, the text offers a preliminary response to a handful of harder questions about causation and consequence: Why are these portrayals as they are? Where do they come from? Are they a reflection of American attitudes and policies toward marginalized populations, or do they help create them? What does this all mean for politics and policymaking?
Of interest to movie buffs and film scholars, cultural critics and historians, policy analysts, and those curious to know more about homelessness and American poverty, Ghettos, Tramps, and Welfare Queens is a unique window into American politics, history, policy, and culture -- it is an entertaining and enlightening journey." -- book jacketNotes: Includes bibliographical references and index.ISBN: 9780190660727Donation: Senses of CinemaContents: Key U.S. films discussed, 1902-2015 -- Introduction -- Part 1: In the ghetto: Poor places and the people in them -- The evils of the city -- Modern gangs and ghetto gurls -- The urban hellscape -- Social workers and charity reformers -- Welfare queens -- Teachers to the rescue -- The architecture of poverty -- Escaping the city: rural poverty -- Part 2: On the street, on the road: poor out of doors -- The first tramp -- The last free tramp and the hobo played for laughs -- Imposter tramps -- Forgotten men -- The depression through the eyes of a clever child -- The modern tramp: villains -- The modern tramp: victors -- The modern tramp: victims -- Women and children last -- Conclusion: The propertied gaze.

At last, in Growing up in Hollwood, Robert Parrish has produced a picture of Hollywood which is consistently well-observed, intelligent, evocative and, best of all, very, very funny. Robert Parrish, a child actor in the 1920's (in Chaplin's City Lights he was one of the two pea-shooting news boys), served his apprenticeship both in front of the camreas as an extra, and in the cutting rooms under famous directors in 1950. This book is a series of lively, skillfully told anecdotes of working in motion pictures in the golden days between the coming of talkies and the spread of television. In a series of fascinating close-ups we are shown, for instance, Charlie Chaplin rehearsing a scene from City Lights, Cecil B. de Mille bullying his cast of thousands, Raoul Walsh getting the best out of John Wayne, Ian Keith and an assortment of quadrupeds in The Big Trail, and John Ford cracking his whip on and off the set. What makes these memories so compelling is the charm and vivacity, the clear-sighted innocence of the author (a rare gift in hollywood) and his remarkable ability to bring scenes and dialogue to life so that the reader is constantly ready for more.

SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON (US, Frank Capra, 1939) ; FACE IN THE CROWD, A (US, Elia Kazan, 1957) Summary: "From the turn of the twentieth century through the late 1950s, Havana was a locus for American movie stars, with glamorous visitors including Errol Flynn, John Wayne, and Marlon Brando. In fact, Hollywood was seemingly everywhere in pre-Castro Havana, with movie theaters three to a block in places, widely circulated silver screen fanzines, and terms like “cowboy” and “gangster” entering Cuban vernacular speech. Hollywood in Havana uses this historical backdrop as the catalyst for a startling question: Did exposure to half a century of Hollywood pave the way for the Cuban Revolution of 1959?
Megan Feeney argues that the freedom fighting extolled in American World War II dramas and the rebellious values and behaviors seen in postwar film noir helped condition Cuban audiences to expect and even demand purer forms of Cuban democracy and national sovereignty. At the same time, influential Cuban intellectuals worked to translate Hollywood ethics into revolutionary rhetoric—which, ironically, led to pointed critiques and subversions of the US presence in Cuba. Hollywood in Havana not only expands our notions of how American cinema was internalized around the world—it also broadens our view of the ongoing history of US-Cuban interactions, both cultural and political." -- Back cover.Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.ISBN: 9780226593692Contents: Introduction.

Though much of Hollywood's engagement with the law occurs offstage, in the larger theater of copyright, many of Hollywood's valued treasures - from Modern Times (1936) to Star Wars (1977) - cannot be fully understood without appreciating their legal controversies. Peter Decherney shows that the history of intellectual property in Hollywood has not always mirrored the evolution of the law and recounts these extralegal solutions and their impact on American media and culture." - BOOK BLURBNotes: Contains list of illustrations and indexISBN: 9780231159470

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 descriptionNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9780822342892Contents: The Academy and Motion Pictures / Lee Grieveson, Haidee Wasson

Call No: 79MOD MELAuthor: Mellen, Joan Source: UKPlace: LondonPublisher: British Film InstitutePubDate: 2006PhysDes: 87p. : ill. ; 19cmSeries: BFI Film ClassicsSubject: CHAPLIN, CHARLES ; MODERN TIMES (US, Charles Chaplin, 1936) ; USA Summary: Modern Times (1936) was Charlie Chaplin's last full-length silent film, and also his last appearance as the Tramp, probably the most recognisable figure in film history. Social and political concerns had often featured in Chaplin's films, but in Modern Times they culminate in a protest against conditions during the Great Depression. Joan Mellen situates Modern Times within the context of Chaplin's life and his work, exploring its history and influences as well as its ongoing appeal. She explores how the film's themes of oppression, industrialisation and dehumanisation are embodied in the little tramp's struggle to survive in the modern world. The final chapter of the book is dedicated to the fascinating details of the FBI's file on Chaplin, which was opened in 1922 and maintained until long after his death.

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

Replete with anecdotes and asides, the book details almost every aspect of the production of a motion picture, including the marshalling of actors and technicians, the preparation for filming itself, the cutting and editing processes, and the not always amicable transactions with distributors and would-be exploiters that follow the making of a film. The final section deals with the art of film comedy: how it is created, what makes it work, and who the great comedians are and why" -Book blurbISBN: 01854780238Donation: donated by the family of Wayne Levy, 2006Contents: To the reader -- Prologue -- Part one - production -- The humanities of film -- The total film-maker -- The money man -- Script and writer -- Actors -- The million-dollar hug -- Pre-production chores -- The crew -- Homework -- Filming it! -- Part two - post-production -- Editing -- Music and dubbing -- distribution and exploitation -- Other film-makers, other films -- Part three - comedy -- Laughs are our thing -- The visuals of comedy -- The comedians -- Kind of a wrap

Within these pages is Bogdanovich on Charlie Chaplin, Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn, James Cagney, John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Marlene Dietrich, Jack Lemmon, Boris Karloff, Dean Martin, Marilyn Monroe, James Stewart, Frank Sinatra, and many more. With an acute and affectionate eye, Bogdanovich shows us Lillian Gish, the first virginal hearth goddess of the silver screen; Marlon Brando, refusing to play the same from one picture to the next, yet ever recognisable as the great actor, in spite of himself; Jerry Lewis, whose goofy comedy represented the nine-year-old in all of us; and Cary Grant, the epitome of screen elegance, benignly aware that in life even he could never live up to his own legend. Bogdanovich captures brilliantly - in their own words and his - the personality, the work, the style and the enduring iconic appeal of America's movie greats. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780571224319Donation: James Sabine
