Yet the disruptive power of the child in films made for an adult audience has been a neglected topic. The Child in Film examines popular films including Taxi Driver, Man on Fire, and contemporary Japanese horror, as well as "art house" productions such as Mirror, La Jeté, and Pan's Labyrinth, and questions why the figure of the child has such a significant impact on the visual aspects and storytelling potential of cinema. Karen Lury argues that the child as a liminal yet powerful agent has allowed filmmakers to play adventurously with cinema's formal conventions, with far-reaching consequences. She reveals how a child's relationship to time allows it to disturb conventional master-narratives and explores how the concern for and investment in the child actor conceals the reality of film acting and the skills of the child performer. She addresses the expression of child sexuality, and questions existing assumptions as to who children "really are." -- pulisher's web site ISBN: 9780813548968 More info

Call No: 722-053.2 BRO Author: Brown, Noel Source: US Place: New York Publisher: Wallflower Press PubDate: 2017 PhysDes: 124 pages : illustrations ; 20 cm Series: Short cuts Subject: CHILDREN AND THE CINEMA; CHILDREN, FILMS FOR Summary: An introduction to the children's film examines its recurrent themes, narratives and stylistic principles. It explores how children's cinema has developed across its broad historical and geographic span, with reference to films from Europe, the United States, Russia, India and China. Analysing changes and continuities in how children's film has been conceived, it argues for a fundamental distinction between commercial productions intended primarily to entertain and non-commercial film made under pedagogical principles, produced for purposes of moral and behavioural instruction. In elaborating these different forms, this book outlines a history of children's cinema from the early days of commercial cinema to the present, explores the key critical issues, and provides case studies of major children's films, including The Wizard of Oz, Emil and the Detectives, The Red Balloon and Frozen -- TAKEN FROM BACK COVER ISBN: 9780231182690 Donation: donated by Senses of Cinema Contents: The children's film -- Hollywood, children's cinema and the family audience -- Children's film, nation and identity -- Contemporary children's cinema: national and transnational trends -- Postscript More info

Emotion shapes how political issues and individuals are represented and perceived in documentary and it is crucial to how we engage with the vicissitudes of the public sphere. In the past documentary has been popularly perceived in ways that align it with education, science, history and the rational realm. This frame has never been adequate for understanding the broad array of styles and themes that can be seen in the documentary genre. Focusing on the question of subjectivity, Smail analyses various different kinds of individuals that can be found in documentaries, such as the female porn star, the politically disenfranchised, children, and the documentary auteur. She envisages an interdisciplinary approach to documentary drawing on scholarship from not only film studies, but also gender studies, queer theory, cultural theories of affect, critical race studies, political theory and pyschoanalysis.

The films discussed in textual depth transcend literal lost in the bush mythologies, or actual cases of displaced children, to focus on vulnerable children renderedlost through government and institutional practices, and adult/parental characters developmentally arrested by comforting or traumatic childhood memories. The victory/winning fixation governing the USA – diametrically opposed to the lost child motif – is also discussed as a comparative example of the mesmerising nature of the cultural complex. Examining iconic characters and events, such as the Gallipoli Campaign and Trump’s presidency, and films such as The Babadook, Lion, and Predestination, this book scrutinises the way in which a culture talks to itself, about itself. This analysis looks beyond the melancholy traditionally ascribed to the lost child, by arguing that the repetitive and prolific imagery that this theme stimulates, can be positive and inspiring. The Lost Child Complex in Australian Film is a unique and compelling work which will be highly relevant for academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian ideas, cultural studies, screen and media studies. It will also appeal to Jungian psychotherapists and analytical psychologists as well as readers with a broader interest in Australian history and politics. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9781138939691 More info
