Summary: "This book celebrates the 50 years of my prescence and work in Australia in the area of entertaining business for the Greek-Australian community and beyond. It also manifests the pleasure I had in working with people in Greece, Cyprus, Australia and New Zealand in order to promote Greek Cinema as an important aspect in the life of Greek migrants, especially during the post-World War II period, when the chain migration movement from Greece and Cyprus to Australia reached its highest point. With this book, I record, evidence and bring to the attention of interested people unknown stories in the entertaining business in Australia and New Zealand. For Greek migrants of the late 50's and 60's, watching Greek movies was not just a way of amusing themselves, but a way of staying in touch with their homeland, its language and culture.

A history of Greek cinema / Vrasidas Karales New York: Continuum, 2012.
Call No: 71(495) KARAuthor: Karales, Vrasidas Source: USPlace: New YorkPublisher: ContinuumPubDate: 2012PhysDes: xxiii, 318 p. : ill. ; 23 cmSubject: GREECE ; HISTORY OF CINEMA ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. GREECE Summary: "The history of Greek cinema is a rather obsure and unexamined affair. Greek cinema started slowly and then collapsed, for several years it struggled to reinvent itself, produced its first mature works, then collapsed completely and almost vanished. Because of such a complex historical trajectory no comprehensive survey of the development of Greek cinema has been written in English. This book is the first to explore its development and the contexts that defined it by focusing on its main films, personalities and theoretical discussions.
A History of Greek Cinema focuses on the early decades of the form and filmmakers' attempts to establish a 'national' cinema useful to social cohesion and national identity. It also analyses the problems and dilemma many directors faced in establishing a distinctly Greek cinematic language and presents the various stages of Greek cinema's development against the backdrop of the country's turbulent political history. The book combines historical analysis and discussions about cinematic form to construct a narrative history of Greek cinematic successes and failures" -- BOOK BLURBISBN: 9871441194473Contents: Introduction to Greek cinema -- Early Greek cinema (1905-1945) -- Constructing a visual language (1945-1960) -- Glory and demise (1960-1970) -- The formalist moment: the inward gaze and the new Greek cinema (1970-1981) -- The new decade: hope and disenchantment (1981-1994) -- The polyphony of the decentred gaze: the other as cultural hero (1995-2010) -- Recapitulation

Independent filmmaking around the Globe / edited by Doris Baltruschat and Mary P. Erickson Toronto: University of Toronto Press, c2015.
Call No: 210.4 INDAuthor: Baltruschat, Doris (ed.) ; Erickson, Mary P. (ed.) Source: USPlace: TorontoPublisher: University of Toronto PressPubDate: c2015PhysDes: xii, 313 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm.Subject: FILMMAKING ; INDEPENDENT FILMMAKERS ; INDEPENDENT FILMS ; INDEPENDENT PRODUCTION ; INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS ; DIRECTORS ; PRODUCERS ; CRITICISM ; EUROPEAN CINEMA ; BRITISH CINEMA ; UNITED KINGDOM ; AUSTRALIA ; PERU ; GREECE ; TURKEY ; IRAQ ; CHINA ; AFRICA ; MALAYSIA ; CANADA ; USA Summary: "Independent Filmmaking around the Globe calls attention to the significant changes taking place in independent cinema today, as new production and distribution technology and shifting social dynamics make it easier for independent filmmakers to produce films outside both the mainstream global film industry and their own national film systems. Identifying and analyzing the many complex forces that shape the production and distribution of feature films, the authors detail how independent filmmakers create work that reflects independent voices and challenges political, economic, and cultural constraints.
With chapters on the under-explored cinemas of Greece, Turkey, Iraq, China, Malaysia, Peru, and West Africa, as well as traditional production centres such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, Independent Filmmaking around the Globe explores how contemporary independent filmmaking increasingly defines the global cinema of our time." -- TAKEN FROM FIRST PAGE OF BOOKNotes: Includes bibliographical references and filmographyISBN: 9781442626836Donation: Senses of CinemaContents: -- foreword: producing independently in global industry / David Hamilton -- ackowledgments -- 1.The Meaning of Independence: Concepts, Contexts, and Interpretations / Mary P.

World film locations : Athens / edited by Anna Poupou, Afroditi Nikolaidou and Eirini Sifaki Bristol, U.K. ; Chicago, USA: Intellect Books, 2014.
Call No: 756(495) WORSource: UKPlace: Bristol, U.K. ; Chicago, USAPublisher: Intellect BooksPubDate: 2014PhysDes: 128 pages : col. ill., col. maps ; 23 cmSeries: World film locationsSubject: GREECE ; CITIES IN FILMS ; WORLD CINEMA ; LOCATION SHOOTING Summary: "A filmic guidebook of the Greek capital. World Film Locations: Athens takes readers to film locations in the central historical district with excursions to the periphery of Athens--popular neighbourhoods, poor suburbs, and slums often represented in postwar neorealist films--and then on to garden cities and upper class suburbs, especially those preferred by the auteurs of the 1970s. Of course, no Grecian vacation would be complete without a visit to the sea, and summer resorts, hotels, and beaches near Athens are frequent backdrops for international productions. However, more recent economic strife has emptied city neigbourhoods, created urban violence, and caused an increase in riots in the Mediterranean city, and representations of this on film are juxtaposed with images of the eternal and idyllic city. Featuring both Greek and foreign productions from various genres and historical periods, World Film Locations: Athens ultimately works to establish connections between the various aethetics of dominant representations of Athens." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographic references and index; Includes filmography; Includes recommended further readingISBN: 9781783203598Donation: donated by Senses of Cinema, 2014Contents: Maps/Scenes -- Scenes 1-8: 1924-1956 -- Scenes 9-16: 1956-1966 -- Scenes 17-24: 1968-1984 -- Scenes 25-32: 1982-2003 -- Scenes 33-39: 2005-2010 -- Scenes 40-46: 2011-2014 -- Essays -- Athens: City of the Imagination / Anna Poupou and Eirini Sifaki -- Open-air Cinemas in Post-war Athens / Dimitris Eleftheriotis -- Athens in Burning / Dimitris Papanikolaou -- Nikos Panayotopoulous's Athens: From Relic of Antiquity to Hipster Urban Refuge / Athena Kartalou -- Controversies of Space in Popular Greek Cinema (1950-70)" From the Courtyard to the Living Room / Angeliki Milonaki -- Dirtopia and Its Urban Subcultures: Cinematic Athens in the Post-dictatorship Era / Afroditi Nikolaidou and Anna Poupou -- Athens in the 1960s Greek Musical / Lydia Papadimitriou
