book		Grindhouse nostalgia : memory, home video and exploitation film fandom / David Church Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2015. Call No: 722.81 CHU Author: Church, David Source: UK Place: Edinburgh Publisher: Edinburgh University Press PubDate: 2015 PhysDes: ix, 286 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 24 cm Subject: EXPLOITATION FILMS; DRIVE-IN CINEMAS. USA; FANS Summary: "Too often dismissed as nothing more than 'trash cinema', exploitation films have become both earnestly appreciated cult objects and home video items that are more accessible than ever. In this wide-ranging new study, David Church explores how the history of drive-in theatres and urban grind houses has descended to the home video formats that keep these lurid movies fondly alive today. Arguing for the importance of cultural memory in contemporary fan practices, Church focuses on both the re-release of archival exploitation films on DVD and the recent cycle of 'retrosploitation' films like Grindhouse, Machete, Viva, The Devil's Rejects, and Black Dynamite. At a time when older ideas of subcultural belonging have become increasingly subject to nostalgia, Grindhouse Nostalgia presents an indispensable study of exploitation cinema's continuing allure, and is a bold contribution to our understanding of fandom, taste politics, film distribution, and home video." - TAKEN FROM BACK OF THE BOOK Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index ISBN: 97800748699100 Donation: Senses of Cinema Contents: Machine generated contents note: 1.A Drive-in Theatre of the Mind: Nostalgic Populism and the Declasse Video Object -- 2.42nd Street Forever?
