book		Cinephilia and history, or The wind in the trees / Christian Keathley Bloomington IN: Indiana University Press, 2006. Call No: 409 KEA Author: Keathley, Christian Source: US Place: Bloomington IN Publisher: Indiana University Press PubDate: 2006 PhysDes: xiv, 212 p. : ill. ; 25 cm Subject: CINEPHILIA; CRITICISM; PHILOSOPHY AND THE CINEMA; CAHIERS DU CINEMA Summary: "Cinephiles have regularily fetishized contingent, marginal details in the motion picture image: the gesture of a hand, the wind in the trees. Christian Keathley demonstrates that the spectatorial tendency that produces such cinematic encounters - a viewing practice marked by a drift in visual attention away from the primary visual elements on display - in fact has clear links to the origins of film as described by Andre Bazin, Roland Barthes, and others. Keathley explores the implications of this ontology and proposes the "cinephiliac anecdote" as a new type of criticism, a method of historical writing that both imitates and extends the experience of these fugitive moments" - taken from back cover Contents: 1. The desire for cinema -- 2. The cinephiliac moment and panoramic perception -- 3. Andre´ Bazin and the revelatory potential of cinema -- 4. Cahiers du cine´ma and the way of looking -- 5.

Through detailed analysis of aspects of stillness and silence in cinema, Lim delineates the strategies by which slowness in film can be constructed. By drawing on writings on cinephilia and the films of directors such as Abbas Kiarostami, Hou Hsiao-hsien, and Nuri Bilge Ceylan, he makes a passionate case for a slow cinema that calls for renewed attention to the image and to the experience of time in film." -- BOOK BLURB ISBN: 9780824836849 More info
