Summary: "Father Gaston Roberge, Director of Chitrabani, a Calcutta-based institution involved in development communication, and a media critic in his own right, with five title to his credit already, proposes, in his latest work, a militant programme... for another cinema committed to the building up of another society.' He offers revaluations of the established systems of film aesthetics, with fresh insights into the thoughts and works of Eisenstein, Bazin, Welles, and Ray; before analysing the Indian social scene in depth and detail, to suggest a comprehensive model for a parallel Indian cinema, complete with a new scheme for film and media education for the new cinema" -Book blurb

Summary: "Does a successfl novel make a good movie? That question and others are explored in this first comprehensive collection of essays on novel into film adaptations - from Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans (1826) to Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury (1929). Over two thirds of these essays were written expressly for this volume, the work of a new generation of literature-trained but film-oriented teachers and critics. Together they examine how novels and their film adaptations differ from one another in technique, characterisation, scope, and ideological content. To the original essays the editors have added some of the best available writings on adaptations by such critics as Stanley Kauffman and Manny Farber, plus selected commentaries from the actual participants in the process of adaptations - screenwriters and film directors." -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: Documenting the Documentary features essays by twenty-seven film scholars from a wide range of critical and theoretical perspectives. 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 SITE

Summary: "Sergei Eisenstein, one of the towering geniuses of world cinema, was not only a leading practitioner of his art, but its principal theorist. His landmark films - from the "dynamic montage" of The Battleship Potemkin to the baroque magnificence of Ivan the Terrible - are still watched, admired and taught the world over, regarded as pioneering classics of the medium. Sergei Eisenstein: A Life in Conflict tells the dramatic story of this great director's life and his groundbreaking work - from his precocious childhood to his explosion on the revolutionary art scene, through his landmark film career and relationships with artists as diverse as James Joyce and Walt Disney, to his untimely death at age fifty. Drawing upon recently released material from the Soviet archives and from psychologically revealing personal letters, diaries and sketches, Ronald Bergan sheds new light on the influence of Eisenstein's parents, his childhood and his ambivalent sexuality on his life and work." -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: Goodwin examines Sergei Eisenstein's thinking on ecstasy within his practices as a graphic artist, particularly in the form of contour drawing, and in his films. He establishes a more intimate connection between Eisenstein and the intellect and imagination at work in James Joyce's "Ulysses," beyond the novel's most apparent stylistic and structural properties. The principal sites for this connection are to be found in the thematics of contemporary Hebraism and scenes of profane ritual. -- article abstract provided by publisher

Summary: "In Empty Moments, Leo Charney describes the defining quality of modernity as "drift" - the experience of being unable to locate a stable sense of the present. Through an exploration of artistic, philosophical, and scientific interrogations of the experience of time, Charney presents cinema as the emblem of modern culture's preoccupation with the reproduction of the present. Empty Moments creates a catalytic dialogue among those who, at the time of the invention of film, attempted to define the experience of the fleeting present. Interspersing philosophical discussions with stylistically innovative prose, Charney mingles Proust's conception of time/ memory with Cubism's attempt to interpret time through perspective and Surrealism's exploration of subliminal representations of the present. Other topics include Husserl's insistence that the present can only be fantasy or fabrication and the focus on impossibility, imperfection, and loss in Kelvin's laws of thermodynamics. Ultimately, Charney's work hints at parallels among such examples, the advent and popularity of cinema, and early film theory." -- Blurb

Notes: The human face was said to have been rediscovered with the advent of motion pictures, in which it was often viewed as expressive locus, as figure, and even as essence of the cinema. But how has this modern, technological, mass-circulating medium revealed the face in ways that are also distinct from any other? How has it altered our perception of this quintessential incarnation of the person? The archaic powers of masks and icons, the fashioning of the individual in the humanist portrait, the modernist anxieties of fragmentation and de-figuration—these are among the cultural precedents informing our experience in the movie theatre. Yet the moving, time-based image also offers radical new confrontations with the face: Dreyer's Passion of Joan of Arc, Donen's Funny Face, Hitchcock's The Wrong Man, Bresson's Au hazard, Balthazar, Antonioni's Screen Test, Warhol's filmic portraits of celebrity and anonymity. Such intense encounters, examined in this book, manifest a desire for transparency and plenitude, but—especially in post-classical cinema—also betray a profound ambiguity that haunts the human countenance, confronting interiority as opacity, treading the gap between image and language. The spectacular impact of the cinematic face is uncannily intertwined with a reticence, an ineffability; but is it not for this very reason that—like faces in the world—it still enthralls us? -- publisher's web site

Summary: The seemingly effortless integration of sound, movement, and editing in films of the late 1930s stands in vivid contrast to the awkwardness of the first talkies. Film Rhythm after Sound analyzes this evolution via close examination of important prototypes of early sound filmmaking, as well as contemporary discussions of rhythm, tempo, and pacing. Jacobs looks at the rhythmic dimensions of performance and sound in a diverse set of case studies: the Eisenstein-Prokofiev collaboration Ivan the Terrible, Disney's Silly Symphonies and early Mickey Mouse cartoons, musicals by Lubitsch and Mamoulian.- from Publisher website.

Summary: "At a moment when the cinema is struggling to escape from both the Hollywood blockbuster and the art form, FILM WORLD is a reminder of the true nature of cinema itself. In a personal survey of astonishing range and uncommon perception of Ivor Montagu shows us the facts of the film as art form, as undustry, and as a means of social communication. The four parts of the book - Film as Science, Film as Art, Film as Commodity, and Film as Vehicle - cover every aspect of the medium - its history, its resemblance to and difference from other arts, its aesthetic laws, the compound effects of sound and vision, the business side and in particular the inherent tendency towards monopoly."

Summary: "Filmosophy is a provocative new manifesto for a radically philosophical way of understanding cinema. It coalesces twentieth-century ideas of film as thought (from Hugo Münsterberg to Gilles Deleuze) into a practical theory of "film-thinking," arguing that film style conveys poetic ideas through a constant dramatic "intent" about the characters, spaces, and events of film. Discussing contemporary filmmakers such as Béla Tarr and the Dardenne brothers, this timely contribution to the study of film and philosophy will provoke debate among audiences and filmmakers alike." - taken from publisher website.

Porter, 1903); TRIP TO THE MOON [VOYAGE DANS LA LUNE] (FR, George Melies, 1902)
Summary: From Méliès to New Media contributes to a dynamic stream of film history that is just beginning to understand that new media forms are not only indebted to but firmly embedded within the traditions and conventions of early film culture. Adopting a media archaeology, this book will present a comparative examination of cinema including early film experiments with light and contemporary music videos, silent film and their digital restorations, German Expressionist film and post-noir cinema, French Gothic film and the contemporary digital remake, Alfred Hitchcock’s films exhibited in the gallery, post medium films as abstracted light forms and interactive digital screens revising experiments in precinema. Media archaeology is an approach that uncovers the potential of intermedial research as a fluid form of history. It envisages the potential of new discoveries that foreground forgotten or marginalised contributions to history. It is also an approach that has been championed by influential new historicists like Thomas Elsaesser as providing the most vibrant and productive new histories (2014). -- publisher's web site

Summary: "Beginning with the simple but possibly crucial observation that, in general, literature and film are storytelling arts, Mr. Richardson presents a lucid and straightforward analysis arguing that film and literature are not the entirely different, antithetical disciplines that they are widely held to be. He shows clearly the relationship of film to literature, outlining differences as well as similarities, and common goals as well as divergent aims appropriate to the two arts, demonstrating how each form and its associated criticism is frequently able to illuminate and enliven the other. A film's consciousness sharpens the reader's alertness to the visual and aural qualities that mark much great writing, and literary training, in turn, adds depth and perspective to appreciation of film. Mr. Richardson goes on to present some of the literary influences, such as the writings Dickens and Flaubert, that have significantly affected film since the era of D.W. Griffith, and he discusses film's major influences on modern literature. The author concludes with an extended exploration of the relationship of film to poetry, suggesting that while the two forms have been concerned with similar thematic material and make use of similar techniques, film has dealt more significantly with the question of how to find a humane, noncoercive order in life.

Summary: "Superbly translated from the definitive Russian texts, and copiously annotated, Volume 1 documents the complex course of Eisenstein's writings during the revolutionary years prior to the establishment of Socialist Realism as orthodox Soviet aesthetic doctrine. This was also the period of Eisenstein's great silent masterpieces, The Strike, The Battleship Potemkin, October and The General Line, and of his controversial sojourns in Hollywood and Mexico. The writings in this first volume give a picture of Eisenstein the committed socialist artist, passionately engaged in the debates over the art forms of the future, but also of Eisenstein the humorist and Eisenstein the profoundly innovative aesthetic thinker." -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "The name of Sergei Eisenstein has long been synonymous with the idea of montage, as exemplified in his silent classics such as The Strike (1925), The Battleship Potemkin (1925), and October (1927). In the 1930s his style changed, partly to accomodate the arrival of sound, and his ideas on audio-visual counterpoint developed. Between 1937 and 1940 he elaborated his ideas on montage in a series of essays, most of which remained unpublished until after his death and which are published in English for the first time inTowards a Theory of Montage. Collectively these essays present the essence of Eisenstein's thinking on cinema and aesthetics more generaaly and reveal him as one of the most significant philosophers of art of the twentieth century." -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "Wie inszeniert das Medium Film das Zusammenspiel von Sexualität, Widerstand und Körperpolitiken? Welche Formen von Sexualität und erotischer Sinnlichkeit, die entweder als widerständige Handlungsweisen oder als Teil von politischem Widerstand adressiert werden können, wurden in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten in internationalen Filmkulturen visualisiert und damit hervorgehoben? Kann die Darstellung des sexualisierten Körpers oder sexuellen Akts in bestimmten Kontexten zu einer politischen Waffe werden? Welchen Raum erhalten dabei divergierende sexuelle Orientierungen und Praktiken etwa im Verbund mit homosexuellem Begehren? Der Sammelband vereint eine Mischung aus interdisziplinären und künstlerischen Zugängen zum Thema Sexualität und Widerstand und spürt seinen (audio-)visuellen Vermittlungen aus lokaler und transnationaler Perspektive nach. Das breite Spektrum an Text­genres reicht von akademischen Reflexionen über Malerei bis hin zu Dichtkunst und Bildcollagen. Fragen der Film-, ­Medien-, Kultur- und Literaturwissenschaft sowie Geschlechterforschung und Zeitgeschichte treffen in diesem Band auf sexualwissenschaftliche und medizinhistorische Ansätze." -- FROM BLURB
