Edward Buscombe provides an illuminating guide to a hundred key films of the genre, from Broken Arrow to The Wild Bunch by way of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, A Fistful of Dollars, The Magnificent Seven and The Searchers. Each entry includes a plot synopsis, major credits, and a commentary on the film’s significance, together with its production and exhibition history. Edward Buscombe’s introduction to the volume discusses the criteria for selecting a mere hundred essential Westerns out of the thousands that have been made since the birth of cinema. He considers the relative weight to be attached to the acknowledged great directors of the genre, such as John Ford and Sam Peckinpah, and to lesser known but significant figures such as Delmer Daves. He takes stock of the contribution of the great Western stars, including John Wayne, James Stewart and Clint Eastwood. And he argues for a selection that takes into account Westerns of the silent era, B-Westerns and singing cowboys, and those Westerns made outside America. [Taken from back cover.]ISBN: 1844571122

The art of horror in Lumina (2009) iss.1 p.84-91
Author: Cameron, Allan PhysDes: ArticleSubject: HORROR FILMS. AUSTRALIA ; GENRES ; INDUSTRY, FILM. AUSTRALIA ; AUDIENCES. AUSTRALIA Summary: Article discussing the tension between government funded films and the so called 'low-brow' films that proved popular with Australian audiences: sex comedies, action thrillers and horror movies. Cameron argues that horror films need not be arthouse to be art so the binary logic of current debates - low 'genuine' horror vs acceptable, well made - is a disservice to the genre.

Australian genre film / edited by Kelly McWilliam and Mark David Ryan New York: Routledge,
Call No: 730(94) AUSAuthor: McWilliam, Kelly ; Ryan, Mark David Edition: 2021Place: New YorkPublisher: RoutledgePhysDes: 248 pages : illustrated ; 23 cmSeries: Rutledge advances in film studiesSubject: AUSTRALIA ; GENRES ; BIOGRAPHICAL FILMS ; COMEDIES. AUSTRALIA ; CRIME FILMS. AUSTRALIA ; HORROR FILMS. AUSTRALIA ; MUSICALS. AUSTRALIA ; ROAD MOVIES. AUSTRALIA ; TEEN FILMS ; WAR FILMS AUSTRALIA Summary: Australian Genre Film interrogates key genres at the core of Australia’s so-called new golden age of genre cinema, establishing the foundation on which more sustained research on film genre in Australian cinema can develop.
The book examines what characterises Australian cinema and its output in this new golden age, as contributors ask to what extent Australian genre film draws on widely understood (and largely Hollywood-based) conventions, as compared to culturally specific conventions of genre storytelling. As such, this book offers a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of Australian genre film, undertaken through original analyses of 13 significant Australian genres: action, biopics, comedy, crime, horror, musical, road movie, romance, science fiction, teen, thriller, war, and the Western.
This book will be a cornerstone work for the burgeoning field of Australian film genre studies and a must-read for academics; researchers; undergraduate students; postgraduate students; and general readers interested in film studies, media studies, cultural studies, Australian studies, and sociology. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781138603141Contents: 1.

Offering fresh critical perspectives and extending previous scholarship, case studies range from The Lego Movie, Mad Max and Australian stars in Hollywood, to transnational co-productions, YouTube channels, transmedia and naturecam documentaries. New research on trends such as the Blak Wave, the convergence of television and film, digital transformations of screen production and the shifting roles of women, on and off-screen, highlight how established precedents have been transformed by new realities beyond both cinema and national borders. --
Written in an accessible style that does not require knowledge of cinema studies or Australian studies. --

It demonstrates that genre matters in a manner not constrained by disciplinary boundaries and includes new work on Genre Theory and applications of thinking about genre from Aristotle to Derrida and beyond. The essays focus on economies of expectation and competency, genre as media form, recent developments in television broadcast genres, translation and genericity, the role played by genre in film publicity, gender and genre, genre in fiction, and the problematics of classification. An introductory essay places the contributions in the context of a wide range of thinking about genre in the arts, media and humanities.

The glorious modernity of Kong Ngee Hong Kong: Hong Kong Film Archive, 2006.
Call No: 71(512.317) GLOCorpAuthor: Hong Kong Film ArchiveSource: HKPlace: Hong KongPublisher: Hong Kong Film ArchivePubDate: 2006PhysDes: 300 p. ; 27 cm.Subject: HISTORY OF CINEMA. 1950's ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. 1960's ; STUDIOS, FILM ; GENRES ; SINGAPORE ; MALAYSIA Summary: What made [Hong Kong studio] Kong Ngee productions fascinating was its urban touch. The company was initially formed through the tutelage of The Union Film Enterprise Limited veterans, who acted as mentors for a new generation of actors, in works like the company’s founding film The Rouge Tigress (1955), Mother’s Boy Parts One and Two (1956), Blood is Thicker (1956) etc. The company then proceeded to make films on location in Malaysia and Singapore, which led to the ‘Nanyang Trilogy’ – Blood Stains the Valley of Love (1957), China Wife (1957), Moon over Malaya (1957). These films turned newcomers Patrick Tse, Nam Hung and Kar Ling into stars, and gradually fashioned a studio style that set Kong Ngee apart from other Cantonese productions of the time. Kong Ngee made its name with modern romance, both tragic and comic. Reviewing the history of Kong Ngee, from its smooth beginning to its disappointing end, the company started out in the footsteps of the Union tradition but effortlessly moved on from the cultural milieu of the May Fourth Movement to cultivate a modern urban bourgeois sensibility. Regrettably, towards the end of the 1960s, it was thrown off course by the restless pulse of that era and has since fallen by the wayside. To this day, we have not been able to revive this urban cosmopolitan drama that was once part of Hong Kong cinema. Writers in this volume have put together their efforts for a multifaceted study on Kong Ngee, encompassing subjects from the star image to urban media, from genre development to literary adaptation, alongside comparisons between creative talents and individual companies. Last but not least the complex relations between Hong Kong cinema and its Singapore/Malaysian financiers. [Abridged from introduction].ISBN: 9628050389

The book also investigates foreign parallels to U.S. hybrid cinema in films by such directors as Pedro Almodovar and Stephen Chow. Rather than explore genre primarily from the standpoint of movie critics, producers, marketers, and spectators, Hollywood Hybrids focuses on genre mixing as a key creative interest motivating celebrated fimmakers, and thus relates genre to auteur theory. The book also links recent hybrid cinema to earlier instances of hybrid film and other arts, including painting, music, literature, and architecture."-BOOK JACKETNotes: includes filmography; includes bibliographical references; includes indexISBN: 9780742539518Donation: donated by Senses of CinemaContents: -- Acknowledgements-- Introduction -- 1.

The text takes a distinct approach to understanding Campion's films, positioning them not simply as the work of a cinematic auteur, but as the culmination of a complex set of textual relationships and practices. In doing so, Tincknell argues persuasively that the director's use of adaptation goes well beyond the conventionally respectful approach to literary texts, opting instead for a playful, subversive and challenging re-imagining of the connections between literature, myth, cultural identity and cinema." -- PORTION OF BOOK BLURBNotes: Contains bibliographic references and index -- list of illustrations included as looseleaf in front of bookISBN: 9780230229006Contents: -- pt.

Informal pieces, conversational in tone but grounded in three decades of authoritative research, the essays gathered here range from in-depth analyses of individual films such as Slumdog Millionaire and Inglourious Basterds to adjustments of Hollywood media claims and forays into cinematic humor. For Bordwell and Thompson, the most fruitful place to begin is how movies are made, how they work, and how they work on us. Written for film lovers, these essays- on topics ranging from Borat to blockbusters and back again - will delight current fans and gain new enthusiasts. Serious but not solemn, vibrantly informative without condescension, and above all illuminating reading, Minding Movies offers ideas sure to set film lovers thinking - and keep them returning to the silver screen.

In this interdisciplinary collection, editors So Mayer and Corinn Columpar bring together film and media studies with parenting studies to stake out a field, or at least a conversation, that is thick with historical and theoretical dimension and invested in cultural and methodological plurality.
In four sections and sixteen contributions, the manuscript reflects on how caregiving shapes the work of filmmakers, how parenting is portrayed on screen, and how media contributes to radical new forms of care and expansive definitions of mothering. Featuring an exciting array of approaches—including textual analysis, industry studies, ethnographic research, production histories, and personal reflection—Mothers of Invention is a multifaceted collection of feminist work that draws on the methods of both the humanities and the social sciences, as well as the insights borne of both scholarship and lived experience. Grounding this inquiry is analysis of a broad range of texts with global reach—from the films Bashu, The Little Stranger (Bahram Beyzai, 1989), Prevenge (Alice Lowe, 2016), and A Deal with the Universe (Jason Barker, 2018) to the television series Top of the Lake (2013–2017) and Jane the Virgin (2014–2019), among others—as well as discussion of the creative practices, be they related to production, pedagogy, curation, or critique, employed by a wide variety of film and media artists and/or scholars.
Mothers of Invention demonstrates how the discourse of parenting and caregiving allows the discipline to expand its discursive frameworks to address, and redress, current theoretical, political, and social debates about the interlinked futures of work and the world. This collection belongs on the bookshelves of students and scholars of cinema and media studies, feminist and queer media studies, labor studies, filmmaking and production, and cultural studies. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780814348529Donation: Senses of Cinema

Each is considered in its own right, sometimes resulting in different ways of defining New Hollywood. One of the book's central arguments is that a combination of these approaches is needed if we are to understand the latest incarnations of the cinema that continues to dominate the global market. Issues covered include: the Hollywood Renaissance from the late 1960s to the mid late 1970s; industrial factors shaping the construction of the corporate blockbuster; the role of auteur directors, genre and stardom in New Hollywood; narrative spectacle in the contemporary blockbuster and the relationship between production for the big and small screen.Notes: Bibliography: p.274-284

Ozploitation compared to what? : A challenge to contemporary Australian film studies. in Studies in Australasian Cinema (2010) vol.4 iss.1 p.9-21
Author: Martin, Adrian PhysDes: ArticleSubject: INDUSTRY, FILM. AUSTRALIA ; GENRES. AUSTRALIA ; NATIONAL CULTURE AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA ; NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD (AT, Mark Hartley, 2008) Summary: Discussion of critical attention given to 'Ozploitation' films particularly after 'Not Quite Hollywood'. Martin argues suggests current focus on this repressed strain of national cinema excludes many genres and therefore provides limited insight into Australian cinema.Notes: Australian exploitation cinema of the 1970s and 1980s has swiftly become a fashionable topic for analysis, rehabilitation and celebration, especially in the wake of the popular documentary Not Quite Hollywood featuring Quentin Tarantino. Is this Australian cinema's ‘return of the repressed’, at last, in the form of tough, vulgar, anarchic genre pictures – and does this show the way forward for our national cinema? This essay questions many aspects of the ‘Ozploitation’ craze, including its exclusion of art, intellectual or experimental cinema, and its peculiar streamlining of an extremely variegated and still obfuscated national film history. In particular, I argue for a comparative approach to national film cultures – which, in this case, would compel us to ask other, more stringent questions about the ultimate value of the currently baptized Ozploitation ‘classics’. -- ABSTRACT

AUSTRALIA ; DOCUMENTARIES ; GAMES SHOWS ; PROGRAMME GENRES ; OSBOURNES, THE [TV] (US, 2002-) ; WOMEN AND TV ; VIOLENCE ON TV ; BIG BROTHER [TV] (AT, 2001-) Summary: Beginning by unearthing its historical roots in early reality shows like Candid Camera and wending its way through An American Family, Cops and The Real World to the most recent crop of reality programs, Reality TV is the first book to address the economic, visual, cultural, and audience dimensions of reality television. The essays provide a complex and comprehensive picture of how and why this genre emerged, what it means, how it differs from earlier television programming, and how it engages societies, industries, and individuals. Topics range from the construction of televisual “reality” to the hanging face of criminal violence on TV, to issues of surveillance, taste, and social control. By spanning reality television’s origins in the late 1940s to its current overwhelming popularity, Reality TV demonstrates both the tenacity of the format and its enduring ability to speak to our changing political and social desires and anxieties.

HONG KONG ; HORROR FILMS ; CITY OF SADNESS, A [ ; KOREA ; JAPAN ; TAIWAN ; GENRES ; THAILAND Summary: With titles such as Hard Boiled, Kwaidan and Onibaba, Tartan delivered the best and most provocative cinema from the East. But when Ring and Audition were unleashed upon unsuspecting audiences nationwide it became apparent that the appetite for such outrageous fare was massive, and it made sense to let people know where to find it. Thus, Asia Extreme was born. Films such as Battle Royale and Infernal Affairs continue to satisfy the ever increasing hunger for astounding cinematic style and outrageous shock moments, while a swathe of even newer titles – like Oldboy and Koma – wait in the wings for their chance to leave audiences breathless. Now, it seems inconceivable that, once upon a time, Asia Extreme didn’t exist at all. Heres the story of the origin and development of the most exciting and unique of all contemporary genres.

Often requiring time and effort to fully grasp it and seeming rather old-fashioned, it can be difficult to approach the subject with enthusiasm and appreciate its relevance to modern day.
Understanding Film Theory aims to disassociate theory from these connotations and bring a fresh, contemporary and accessible approach to the discipline. Now comprehensively updated in a second edition, the book’s sixteen chapters - including a new chapter on Adaptations - continue to provide an insight into the main areas of debate. Taking the application of theory as its central theme, the text incorporates a number of innovative features: ‘Reflect and Respond’ sections encourage readers to engage critically with theoretical concepts, while seminal texts are concisely summarised without oversimplifying key points.
Throughout the book the authors illustrate why theory is important and demonstrate how it can be applied in a meaningful way, with relevant case studies drawn from both classic and contemporary cinema including: Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), Run Lola Run (1998), The Hunger Games (2012), Blue is the Warmest Colour (2013) and The Lego Movie (2014). Additional case studies address key genres (the British Gangster film and the musical), film movements (Dogme 95), individual actors (Ryan Gosling, Judi Dench and Amitabh Bachchan) and directors (Alfred Hitchcock and Guillermo del Toro).
Understanding Film Theory is an approachable and extensive introduction to film theory. It is the ideal entry point for any student studying film, using clear definitions and explaining complex ideas succinctly.

UK ; REALISM ON TV. UK ; GENRES ; PROGRAMME GENRES ; CLERKS (US, Kevin Smith, 1994) ; ONE FINE DAY (US, Michael Hoffman, 1996) Summary: Understanding Realism aims to explain and make accessible a concept central to the understanding of film and television studies. It is the second in a series of short orientation texts geared to the formal study of the moving image.
Using a selection of the critical approaches, it examines the complex relationship between the moving image and appearance. Richard Armstrong's in depth treatment considers in turn the roles that narrative, genre, audience and ideology play in relation to realism in mainstream Hollywood and US independent film. He also discusses how it is possible to reconcile the impression that what is being watched is reality with the knowledge that it is not.
This introductory book, written by an experienced film studies tutor, provides an accessible overview of a concept key to the understanding of contemporary media. [Taken from back cover.]ISBN: 1844570622

Walker includes sustained analyses of particular films according to a range of theoretical approaches: psychoanalysis, feminism, genre studies, post-colonialism, and queer theory. The films come from disparate temporal and industrial contexts: from Classical Hollywood Gothic melodrama (Rebecca) to contemporary, critically-acclaimed science fiction (Gravity). Along with sound tracks from canonical American films including The Searchers and To Have and Have Not, Walker analyzes independent Australasian films: examples include Heavenly Creatures, a New Zealand film that uses music to empower its queer female protagonists; and Ten Canoes, the first Australian feature film with a script entirely in Aboriginal languages. Understanding Sound Tracks Through Film Theory thus not only calls new attention to the significance of sound tracks, but also focuses on the sonic power of characters representing those whose voices have all too often been drowned out.
Understanding Sound Tracks Through Film Theory is both rigorous and accessible to all students and scholars with a grasp of cinematic and musical structures. Moreover, the book brings together film studies, musicology, history, politics, and culture and therefore resonates across the liberal arts." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical references, filmography (page 419) and index; Includes filmographyISBN: 9780199896325Donation: Oxford University PressContents: -- acknowledgments -- general introduction -- pt.

Call No: 76:759.5 ALEAuthor: Sophie Alexiadis Place: MelbournePubDate: 2004PhysDes: 185 p ; 30 cmSubject: REALITY SHOWS, TV. AUSTRALIA ; BIG BROTHER [TV] (AT, 2001-) ; GAMES SHOWS ; GAMES SHOWS. AUSTRALIA ; PROGRAMME GENRES ; AESTHETICS Summary: This thesis conducts a formal analysis of the ways in which phenomenal television successes Survivor and Big Brother are situated in histories of dcumentary, reality television and game shows; and how they may indicate a broader change in television production aesthetics and viewing practices for the new millenium. Historically, the reality game shows Survivor and Big Brother can be seen as belonging to and perpetuating a form which commenced with the first television broadcasts: the game show genre. Yet, with hybridized formats incorporating elements of news, soap opera, talk shows or fly-on-the-wall documentaries, these recent shows exploit the latest television technology. How shows such as Survivor and Big Brother expand or subvert the game show genre is, therefore, central to this thesis. [Taken from thesis summary].Notes: RMIT masters thesis

USA ; PROGRAMME GENRES ; WOMEN ON TV ; DALLAS [TV] (US, 1978-91) Summary: "For the world's television viewing public the beginning of the 1980s was marked by a new and spectacular phenomenon, Dallas. This American dramatic serial about a rich Texan oil family has achieved extraordinary popularity; no other TV serial has ever attained such high worldwide viewing figures. But what is it about Dallas that makes it so successful as entertainment? What is its particular fascination? Why does it appeal to women more than to men? How do viewers from a non-American culture deal with the appearance on their screens of this privileged other culture? These questions form the starting point for an investigation of viewer's reactions to Dallas. The study is based on letters received by the author in response to an advertisement placed in a popular magazine. Readers were asked to write and tell her why they liked or disliked the programme, and their responses are used as evidenece to illustrate and explain the conclusions she draws about the popularity of Dallas. What emerges from an analysis of the letters is the construction in Dallas of a 'tragic structure of feeling' which seems to be responsible for the viewers' experience of an emotional realism in the drama. The relationship between soap opera, fantasy and the place of women in contemporary culture is also investigated in the light of the viewers' reactions. Clearly presented and lively in style, the book introduces the reader to insights from recent film and television studies, and draws on theories of culture and ideology in a concrete and accessible way.
