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

This compelling study corrects such omissions by detailing the theory and practice of alternative adaptation practices from major avant-garde directors. Avant-Garde films are often relegated to the margins because they challenge our traditional notions of what film form and style can accomplish. Directors who choose to adapt previous material run the risk of severe critical dismay; making films that are highly subjective interpretations or representations of existing texts takes courage and foresight. An avant-garde adaptation provokes spectators by making them re-think what they know about film itself, just as much as the previous source material.Adaptation and the Avant-Garde examines films by Peter Greenaway, Jean-Luc Godard, Guy Maddin, Jan Svankmajer and many others, offering illuminating insights and making us reconsider the nature of adaptation, appropriation, borrowing, and the re-imagining of previous sources. -- extract taken from the back of the book. -- Notes: Formerly CIP. --

Adaptations in the sound era : 1927-37 / Deborah Cartmell London: UK Bloomsbury Academic, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing Inc, 2015. Call No: 753.1 CAR Author: Cartmell, Deborah Source: UK Place: London Publisher: UK Bloomsbury Academic, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing Inc PubDate: 2015 PhysDes: vii, 166 pages ; 24 cm. Series: Bloomsbury adaptation histories Subject: ADAPTATIONS; HISTORY OF CINEMA. 1920's; HISTORY OF CINEMA. 1930's; HISTORY OF CINEMA. TRANSITION SILENT-SOUND; HISTORY OF CINEMA. SOUND PERIOD Summary: There is no disputing that the coming of sound heralded a new era for adaptations. We take it for granted today that a film is enhanced by sound but it was not a view unanimously held in the early period of sound cinema. While there was a substantial degree of skepticism in the late 1920s and early 30s about the advantages of sound, what we would call technophobia today, the inclusion of speech in screen versions of literary and theatrical works, undeniably revised what it was to be an adaptation: words. Focusing on promotional materials, Adaptations in the Sound Era tracks early attempts to promote sound through the elevation of words in adaptations in the early sound period. The popular appeal of these films clearly stands in opposition to academic regard for them and the book reflects on the presence and marketing of 'words' in a variety of adaptations, from the introduction of sound in the late 1920s to the mid 1930s. This book contextualizes a range of adaptations in relation to debates about 'picturizations' of books in the early sound era, including reactions to the talking adaptation by writers such as, Irwin Panofsky, Aldous Huxley and Graham Greene. Film adaptations of Shakespeare, Dickens, gothic fiction and biopics are also discussed in relation to their use and promotion of sound or, more precisely, words -- TAKEN FROM PUBLISHER'S SITE Notes: Formerly CIP.

Alfred Hitchcock : the legacy of Victorianism / Paula Marantz Cohen Lexington, Ky.: University Press of Kentucky, 1995. Call No: 81HIT COH Author: Marantz Cohen, Paula, 1953 Place: Lexington, Ky. Publisher: University Press of Kentucky PubDate: 1995 PhysDes: 198 p., [8] p. of plates : ill. ; 24 cm Subject: HITCHCOCK, ALFRED Summary: This provocative study traces Alfred Hitchcock's long directorial career from Victorianism to postmodernism. Drawing on a number of methodologies including feminism, psychoanalysis, and family systems, the author provides an insightful look at the paradox of a Victorian era. His career, she argues, can be seen as an attempt to balance "the two faces of Victorianism": the masculine legacy of law and hierarchy and the feminine legacy of feeling and imagination. Also central to her thesis is the Victorian model of the nuclear family and its permutations, especially the father-daughter dyad. She postulates a fundamental dynamic in Hitchcock's films, what she calls a "daughter's effect," and relates it to the social role of the family as an institution and to Hitchcock's own relationship with his daughter, Patricia, who appeared in three of his films; Cohen argues that Hitchcock's films reflect his Victorian legacy and serve as a map for ideological trends. She charts his development from his British period through his classic Hollywood years into his later phase, tracing a conceptual evolution that corresponds to an evolution in cultural identity - one that builds on a Victorian inheritance and ultimately discards it Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [169]-187) and index ISBN: 0813119308 (alk. paper); 0813108500 LON: 11443160

It suggests that Hitchcock's investment in religious thinking has a value in Hitchockian hermeneutics, and analyzes thematic concerns such as guilt and confession.

The altering eye : contemporary international cinema / Robert Phillip Kolker Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1983. Call No: 62 KOL Author: Kolker, Robert Phillip Source: US Place: Oxford Publisher: Oxford University Press PubDate: 1983 PhysDes: 428 p. : ill. ; 21 cm Subject: HISTORY OF CINEMA; CRITICISM; PHILOSOPHY AND THE CINEMA; DE SICA, VITTORIO; GODARD, JEAN-LUC Summary: " Most filmmakers, especially in the United States, have chosen not to upset their audiences. But since World War 2, an alternative cinema has emerged on a significant scale, particularly in Europe and Latin America- a cinema that challenges rather than soothes, that questions assumptions rather than reinforces them. This kind of film - "made in a spirit of resistance, rebellion, and refusal" - is the focus of this important and stimulating study. Investigating many movements and styles, Robert Phillip Kolker illuminates both their diversity and their common threads. He starts with the seminal achievements of the Italian neo-realists (Rossellini, De Sica, Visconti), examining the filmmakers who influenced them and their influence in turn on later filmmakers in Engalnd, Brazil, India and Europe. He looks at the modernist experiments of Resnais and Antonioni and pays special attention to the directors of the French New Wave (Godard, Truffaut, Chabrol, Rohmer, Rivette), who broke down the remaining traditions of cinematic storytelling and invented new ones.
With deftness and clarity, Kolker discusses the New Wave's influence on such older directors as Bresson and Bunuel, as well as on younger ones, such as Ken Russell, Nicolas Roeg, and Jean-Marie Straub. He investigates the New German Cinema of Fassbinder, Wenders, and Herzog, filmmakers who have furthered the effort to make cinema a tool of enquiry and visual invention. He concludes with a look at specific political and psychological elements in contemporary film, particularly in the work of revolutionary Latin American filmmakers, the Hungarian director Miklos Jancso, as well as Godard, Bertolucci, Fassbinder, Losey, and Bunuel." -- BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes index; Bibliography: p. 405-415 ISBN: 0195033027 Contents: -- introduction -- one: the vaildity of image -- two: the substance of form -- three: politics, psychology, and memory -- notes -- bibliography -- index -- URL status: URL: 'http://-'

'Alternative Worlds in Hollywood Cinema' is the first book to analyze these imaginary realms, tracing their construction and development across periods, genres and history.
"Through an analysis of such landmark films as 'The Wizard of Oz', 'It's a Wonderful Life' and 'Groundhog Day', Walters reveals how unconventional worlds are crucial to each film's dramatic agenda and narrative structure. This groundbreaking volume unifies decades of divergent work by film scholars and points the way towards a new theoretical framework for understanding fantasy in the context of popular film. 'Alternative Worlds in Hollywood Cinema' will be an essential resource for film studies scholars and movie buffs alike." (Taken from the back cover.)

Hogan, 2003); GREAT GATSBY, THE (US/AT, Baz Luhrman, 2013) Summary: "This edited collection assesses the complex historical and contemporary relationships between US and Australian cinema by tapping directly into discussions of national cinema, transnationalism and global Hollywood. While most equivalent studies aim to define national cinema as independent from or in competition with Hollywood, this collection explores a more porous set of relationships through the varied production, distribution and exhibition associations between Australia and the US. To explore this idea, the book investigates the influence that Australia has had on US cinema through the exportation of its stars, directors and other production personnel to Hollywood, while also charting the sustained influence of US cinema on Australia over the last hundred years. It takes two key points in time—the 1920s and 1930s and the last twenty years—to explore how particular patterns of localism, nationalism, colonialism, transnationalism and globalisation have shaped its course over the last century. The contributors re-examine the concept and definition of Australian cinema in regard to a range of local, international and global practices and trends that blur neat categorisations of national cinema. Although this concentration on US production, or influence, is particularly acute in relation to developments such as the opening of international film studios in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and the Gold Coast over the last thirty years, the book also examines a range of Hollywood financed and/or conceived films shot in Australia since the 1920s." -- BOOK BACK COVER Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index ISBN: 9783319666754 Donation: Stephen Gaunson Contents: -- 1 Where I'm Calling From: An American-Australian Cinema? / Peter C Kunze -- pt I Across the Pacific: Looking to America -- 2 Rudimentary Modernism: Ken G Hall, Rear-Projection and 1930s Hollywood / Adrian Danks -- 3 Simulated Scenery: Travel Cinema, Special Effects and For the Term of His Natural Life / Leslie DeLassus -- 4 Representations and Hybridizations in First Nation Cinema: Change and Newness by Fusion / Jane Mills -- 5 Of Mothers and Madwomen: Mining the Emotional Terrain of Toni Collette's Anti-Star Persona / Fincina Hopgood -- pt II The View From There: Australian Films in the US -- 6 Accented Relations: Mad Max on US Screens / Tessa Dwyer -- 7 Talking Trash with Tarantino: Auteurism, Aesthetics and Authority in Not Quite Hollywood / Peter C Kunze -- 8 Australian Horror Movies and the American Market / Mark David Ryan -- 9 The Terrible Terrace: Australian Gothic Reimagined and the (Inner) Suburban Horror of The Babadook / Amanda Howell -- pt III Here and There: Crossing Between Australian, US and International Cinemas -- 10 American Cartel: Block Bookings and the Paramount Plan / Stephen Gaunson -- 11 The Multiplex Era / Jock Given -- 12 "Zest to the jaded movie palate": Wallace Worsley, Scott R Dunlap and The Romance of Runnibede / Jeannette Delamoir -- 13 Defining Neverland: P J Hogan, J M Barrie and Peter Pan in Post-Mabo Australia / Jerod Ra'Del Hollyfield -- 14 Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby Telling a National Iconic Story Through a Transnational Lens / Lesley Hawkes -- index --

POLAND; POLITICS AND THE CINEMA. POLAND; NOSTALGIA IN FILMS; POLAND; WAJDA, ANDRZEJ Summary: "The work of Andrzej Wajda, one of the world's most important filmmakers, shows remarkable cohesion in spite of the wide ranging scope of his films, as this study of his complete output of feature films shows. Not only do his films address crucial historical, social and political issues; the complexity of his work is reinforced by the incorporation of the elements of major film and art movements such as Socialist Realism, Italian Neorealism, the documentary tradition, French New Wave, Surrealism, the grotesque, the theatre of the absurd, propaganda film, Polish Romantic tradition and many other artistic phenomena (jazz, Polish student subculture). It is the reworking of all these different elements by Wajda, as the author shows, which give his films their unique visual and aural qualities."--BOOK JACKET.

Call No: 736.11 Author: Grant, Kevin Edition: August 2013 Place: Godalming, Surrey Publisher: FAB Press PubDate: May 2011 PhysDes: 480 pages : illustrated ; 26 cm Subject: WESTERNS. EUROPEAN COUNTRIES; WESTERNS. ITALY; LEONE, SERGIO; NERO, FRANCO; BIG GUNDOWN, THE [RESA DEI CONTI, LA] (IT/SP, Sergio Sollima, 1966); BLINDMAN (US/IT, Ferdinando Baldi, 1972); BULLET FOR THE GENERAL, A (IT, Damiano Damiani, 1966); CORBUCCI, SERGIO; EASTWOOD, CLINT; FULCI, LUCIO; HILL, TERENCE; SPENCER, BUD; VAN CLEEF, LEE Summary: The success of Sergio Leone's 'Dollars' trilogy in the '60s sparked a gold rush, as a legion of European film-makers - many of them sharing the get-rich-quick mentality of Leone's mercenary anti-heroes - followed the master's lead to create some of the wildest Westerns ever made.
Cynical and stylish, bloody and baroque, Euro-westerns replaced straight-shooting sheriffs and courageous cowboys with amoral adventurers, whose murderous methods would shock the heroes of Hollywood Westerns. These films became box-office sensations around the world, and their influence can still be felt today.
Any Gun Can Play puts the phenomenon into perspective, exploring the films' wider reaches, their recurrent themes, characters, quirks and motifs. It examines Euro-westerns in relation to their American ancestors and the mechanics of the Italian popular film industry, and spotlights the unsung actors, directors and other artists who subverted the 'code' of the Western and dragged it into the modern age.
Based on years of research backed up by interviews with many of the genre's leading lights, including actors Franco Nero, Giuliano Gemma and Gianni Garko, writer Sergio Donati, and directors Sergio Sollima and Giuliano Carnimeo, Any Gun Can Play will satisfy both connoisseurs and the curious.
Complete with a foreword by Euro-Western legend Franco Nero, this stunningly illustrated reference guide takes aim at the lingering notion that the genre has little to offer beyond the 'Dollars' films and a fistful of others, exposing the full, vibrant history of the Euro-western. -- publisher's web site Notes: Foreword by Franco Nero ISBN: 9781903254615

(US, Gordon Douglas, 1954); KISS ME DEADLY (US, Robert Aldrich, 1955); REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE (US, Nicholas Ray, 1955) Summary: " An Army of Phantoms- a major new work of film history and cultural criticism from J. Hoberman, one of the foremost film critics writing today addresses the dynamic synergy of American politics and American popular culture during the Cold War's first decade.
Heralded by a mushroom cloud over Hiroshima, the years between 1946 and 1956 brought an explosion of affluence and anxiety. Along with U.S. dominance over Europe and a new war in Asia came the birth of the civil rights movement and the first stirrings of a new youth culture. The period saw the movie industry purged of its political left at the same time as the ideological action hero John Wayne reached the peak of his career.
Analyzing Hollywood's cavalry Westerns, apocalyptic sci-fi flicks, and biblical spectaculars, along with media events, congressional hearings and political campaigns, and drawing on FBI files and studio records, Hoberman has orchestrated a colorful, sometimes surreal pageant wherein Cecil B. DeMille rubs shoulders with Douglas MacArthur, atomic tests are shown on live TV, God talks on the radio, and Joe McCarthy is bracketed with Marilyn Monroe.
Essential reading for film and history buffs, An Army of Phantoms expands on the analysis of the 1960's found in Hoberman's critically acclaimed The Dream Life and offers a lively and astute history of film that is also, to paraphrase Jean-Luc Godard, about the film of history." --Book Jacket.

But there is another way of looking at film, and that is through its close relationship with the visual arts. Art history for Filmmakers shows how images from art can be used by filmmakers to establish period detail, and to demonstrate composition, color theory and lighting. It reveals how the visual culture that gave rise to cinema has itself been shaped and informed by the development of painting, the oldest of the art forms.Featuring stunning images from classic films and iconic artwork, this book will build your appreciation of the history of art, enrich your understanding of the visual language of film, and help to feed that understanding into your own original filmmaking" -- BACK COVER BOOK BLURB Notes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical references and index ISBN: 9781472580658 Donation: Senses of Cinema Contents: Introduction.

Hall, 1938); GONE TO THE GOGS (AT, Ken G. Hall, 1939); ANTS IN HIS PANTS (AT, William Freshman, 1939) Summary: Comedy has been a perpetual part of Australian film, in which humour reflects Australia's adaptation in times of crisis, social change and technological advances. This was never more so than in the 1930s, when Australia produced more comedy feature films than in any other decade before 1970. These films of the 1930s embraced the new technology of sound, made local vaudeville performers into movie stars, offered escape from the Depression and revealed a diverse and international Australia. In these films, Australia moved further from Empire and the bush, forged the Digger legend, responded to cultural diversity and viewed itself as a modern, urban nation. Influenced by Hollywood, Australian comedies of the 1930s adapted international styles to local points of view. Based on research at the National Film and Sound Archive, Lesley Speed's book provides new insight into Australian comedy films of the 1930s and the extraordinary period of social change in which they were produced.

AUSTRALIA; SOCIETY AND THE CINEMA Summary: "This is the first book to offer an in-depth examination of the history, operation, and growth of film festivals as a cultural phenomenon within Australia. Tracing the birth of film festivals in Australia in the 1950s through to their present abundance, it asks why film festivals have prospered as audience-driven spectacles throughout Australia, while never developing the same industry and market foci of their international fellows. Drawing on over sixty-years of archival records, festival commentary, interviews with festival insiders and ephemera, this book opens up a largely uncharted history of film culture activity in Australia.

Avengers Assemble! is a vibrant and theoretically informed interrogation of one of the defining and most financially successful film franchises of the new millennium. In the first single-authored monograph on the topic of the Marvel cinematic universe, this book asks, "Why has the superhero genre reemerged so emphatically in recent years?" In an age where people have stopped going to the cinema as frequently as they used to, they returned to it in droves for the superhero film. What is it about these films that has resonated with audiences all around the globe? Are they just disposable pop culture artifacts or might they have something interesting to say about the fears and anxieties of the world we live in today? Beginning with Iron Man in 2008, this study provocatively explores both the cinematic and the televisual branches of the series across ten dynamic and original chapters from a diverse range of critical perspectives which analyse their status as an embodiment of the changing industrial practices of the blockbuster film and their symbolic potency as affective cultural artifacts that are profoundly immersed in the turbulent political climate of the era in which they were made." -- BOOK BACK COVER Notes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical references and index; Also issued online ISBN: 9780231186254 Donation: Senses of Cinema Contents: 1.

The bad and the beautiful : Hollywood in the fifties / by Sam Kashner and Jennifer MacNair London: Little, Brown, 2002. Call No: 71(73) KAS Author: Kashner, Sam; MacNair, Jennifer Source: UK Place: London Publisher: Little, Brown PubDate: 2002 PhysDes: 380 p. : ill., ports. ; 25 cm Subject: HOLLYWOOD; USA Summary: " The Bad and the Beautiful is a vivid portait of power, fame and sex in 1950s Hollywood, from the rise of tabloid journalism to the making of legendary film icons. In these tantalising stories of momentous events and legendary characters, Sam Kashner and Jennifer MacNair brilliantly recreate the drama and contradictions of Hollywood's most scandalous and dynamic decade. Colourful and humorous anecdotes of such public icons as Lara Turner, Rock Hudson and Kim Novak profile the celebrities' lives away from the camera, telling of the private moments that were exploited by tabloids such as Confidential and gossip queens Louella Parsons, Heda Hopper and Shellah Graham. Chronicling the unique obsessions of the era, the authors also offer behind-the-scenes commentary on the making of classic films: Hollywood's curious religious revival with The Robe, the film industry's exploitation of the potboiler Peyton Place, even as it rejected the housewife who penned it; and the anarchic director Nick Ray, who, on the set of the enduring classic Rebel without a cause, taught his teenage stars about much more than acting. Guided by the author's historical savvy and intimate storytelling, we discover a city at a crossroads, attempting to reinvent the magic and mystery of its past glories. Tragic, irreverant and always entertaining, the bad and the beautiful reveals the underground history of this turbulent decade in American film." -- BOOK JACKET Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.

Through philosophical and historical contextualization, he reveals the logic of what appears on the screen, a logic that shows how these films both represent and distort the historical record in order to articulate a truth that challenges conventional history as a discipline. Counterdisciplinary in its method, this exciting work asserts that no movie can ever be reduced to the absolutely authentic or the absolutely inauthentic." -- BOOK BLURB Notes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical references and index ISBN: 9780230116511 Contents: -- acknowledgments -- Introduction: truth, history, and counterdisciplinary practices in film studies -- 1: Terrible beauties: messianic time and the image of social redemption in James Cameron's Titanic. -- 2: Infinite history: Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York and the production of the inexistent -- 3: "No dreaming, no story, nothing": Baz Luhrmann's Australia, the cinematic common, and postcolonial discourse-- Conclusion: the glorious truth about inglorious history in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious basterds -- works cited -- index --

Bad Women : regulating sexuality in early American cinema / Janet Staiger Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, c1995.

USA; HISTORY OF CINEMA. USA; SEX IN FILMS Summary: "The turn of the century ushered in a new age, and movie screens nationwide reflected a new vision of female sexual morality. Bad Women takes us back to this period of social, cultural, and economic change to illustrate how American cinema presented images of this new woman to fit an emerging consumer culture of the early 1900s. Although originally designed to reinforce the mores of contemporary society, these new images of "bad women" moved discussions off women and their sexuality to the forefront of the national agenda. Charting the resulting cultural tensions through the monitoring of movies, Janet Staiger shows how representations and their endless permutations stirred conflict and debate over women's public and private behaviours. Rich in historical detail and theoretical insight, Bad Women offers an original view of a culture in transition, a sexual sensibility in the making, and American cinema's role in the change" -- BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 208-217) and index; Filmography: p. 207-208 ISBN: 0816626251 Contents: 1.

Subject: HISTORY OF CINEMA; BEALE, JOSEPH BOGGS Summary: Before the Movies is the first book about American screen entertainment in the pre-movie era. A groundbreaking study, lavishly illustrated with 330 color pictures, it is a comprehensive survey of the American artists who created early magic-lantern stories and songs for the screen. The book emphasizes the work of Joseph Boggs Beale, a pioneer in the field and demonstrates that Beale almost single-handedly created American-made screen entertainment for the generation before the movies. His lifetime output was 2,073 images in 258 sets–the screen-time equivalent of 14 full-length films–which millions enjoyed every year. The provenance, attribution, and dates of Beale’s lantern slides are discussed in detail, and a comprehensive catalog of his lantern images makes Before the Movies an essential reference volume ISBN: 9780861967117 Contents: Machine generated contents note: ch. 1 The Magic Lantern -- ch. 2 Provenance, Attribution, Dating -- An Introduction to Beale's Catalogue Raisonne -- ch. 3 The Larger Context of Beale's Work -- ch. 4 Other American Magic-Lantern Artists -- ch. 5 Assessing the Screen Art of Joseph Boggs Beale -- Appendix 1 Notes to The Condensed Catalogue Raisonne of Beale's Magic-Lantern Slides -- The Condensed Catalogue Raisonne of Beale's Magic-Lantern Slides -- Endnotes for Condensed Catalogue Raisonne -- Appendix 2 Chronological List of Beale Sets and Groups -- Appendix 3 Slides Possibly by Beale -- Appendix 4 Lantern Slide Companies Distributing Beale Slides -- Appendix 5 The Beale Method for Dating Catalogs -- Appendix 6 Illustrated Song Slides Containing Beale Images -- Appendix 7 List of Books Illustrated by Beale -- Appendix 8 Selected Bibliography.-- [Extract taken from publishers site]

USA; HOLLYWOOD; STARS. USA; HISTORY OF CINEMA. USA; FEMININITY IN FILMS Summary: "As living subjects rather than static icons, studio-era Hollywood actresses actively negotiated a balance between their public personas, film roles, and corporeal presence. The contemporary audience's engagement with the experience of these actresses unsettles the traditional model of narcissistic identification, which divides the off-screen spectator from his/her onscreen ideal. Exploring the fan's desire for a material connection to the performer - as well as the star's own dialogue between embodied experience and idealized image - this book traces on- and off-screen representations of narcissistic femininity in classical Hollywood through studies of stars like Greta Garbo, Ava Gardner, and Marilyn Monroe. Merging historical and theoretical concerns, with particular attention to the resonance of golden-age Hollywood in new media, this book explores the movie screen as a medium of shared experience between spectator and star." -- BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index -- Includes filmography ISBN: 9781782383994 Donation: donated by Senses of Cinema, 2014 Contents: Introduction: The Narcissistic Woman: Reflections and Projections -- 1.

The birth of the movies / D.J. Wenden London: MacDonald & Janes, 1975. Call No: 70"0192" WEN Author: Wenden, D.J. Source: UK Place: London Publisher: MacDonald & Janes PubDate: 1975 PhysDes: 192 p. : ill., facsims., ports. ; 24 cm Subject: HISTORY AND THE CINEMA. USA; HISTORY OF CINEMA; HISTORY OF CINEMA. 1920's Summary: "The birth of the movies is a fresh and unusual exploration into the early days of world cinema by a professional historian. It opens up a whole new range of insights by considering the silent film in its general social context rather than as an isolated art form in its own right. The book sets out the stages by which the cinema developed from its origins as a music hall novelty at the turn of the century into an individual means of entertainment and thence- at the end of the 1920s- into big business. This transition was reflected in the replacement of converted back rooms by cheap nickelodeans and then by giant picture palaces, when customers were called patrons and full symphony orchestras played in the pit. The California movie rush of the 1920s is compared to the gold rush of 1849; the dominant Hollywood star system and values are discussed from a social and economic viewpoint - trade is shown to follow the movie; early attempts at censorship are described, and the crude propoganda of the patriotic war films of the Firts World War is set alongside the more sophisticated political methods of Eisenstein (who believed that the film was 'as terrible a weapon as the hand grenade') and of the agit-trains that rolled across post-rolled Russia. Nor are the personalities (Mary Pickford, Chaplin, Keaton, D.W Griffith, etc.) or the aesthetics of the early cinema ignored. The book ends with the coming of the talkies, which were to revolutionize the film industry. Chaplin feared that talking would destroy the illusion of cinema; certainly it put an end to the eolquent silence of a very special and well-developed art." -- BOOK JACKET Notes: Includes index.; Bibliography: p.

Is it still an 'other' industry in a world dominated by American Cinemas? Bollywood and Its Other(s) aims to compensate for the lack of scholarly literature on Bollywood studies by opening up hitherto unexplored sites or sites that are in formation. One of the most comprehensive volumes on Bollywood so far, it focuses on the aesthetic-philosophical questions of the other, Indian diaspora's negotiations with national identity, alternative reading strategies/research methods, marginal genres (sci-fi, horror), marginal characters (flaneuse, vamps), marginal gender (non-normative sexualities), marginal cinema (Hindi avant-garde), marginal language (Hinglish), and marginal regions (the Kashmir valley).

Bollywood in Britain : cinema, brand, discursive complex / by Lucia Kramer New York: Bloomsbury Academic, an imprint of Bloomsburg Publishing, 2016. Call No: 71(540/41) KRA Author: Kramer, Lucia Source: US/UK Place: New York Publisher: Bloomsbury Academic, an imprint of Bloomsburg Publishing PubDate: 2016 PhysDes: viii, 286 pages ; 24cm Subject: BOLLYWOOD; HISTORY OF CINEMA. UK; HISTORY OF CINEMA. INDIA; ADAPTATIONS; CRITICISM; THEORY; CULTURE AND THE CINEMA; CULTURE AND THE CINEMA. UK; CULTURE AND THE CINEMA. INDIA; TRANSNATIONAL CINEMA Summary: "Bollywood in Britain provides the most extensive survey to date of the various manifestations and facets of the Bollywood phenomenon in Britain. Kramer analyzes the role of Hindi films in the British film market, showing how audiences engage with Bollywood cinema and discussing the ways the image of Bollywood in Britain has been shaped. In contrast to most of the existing books on the subject, which tend to approach Bollywood as something that is made by Asians for Asians, the book also focuses on how Bollywood has been adapted for non-Asian Britons. An analysis of Bollywood as an unofficial brand is combined with in-depth readings of texts including film reviews, the TV show Bollywood Star (2004) and novels and plays with references to the Hindi film industry. On this basis Bollywood in Britain demonstrates that the presentation of Bollywood for British mainstream culture oscillates between moments of approximation and distancing, with a clear dominance of the latter. Despite its alleged transculturality, Bollywood in Britain thus emerges as a phenomenon of difference, distance and Othering"-- BACK COVER BLURB Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index ISBN: 9781501307614 Donation: Senses of Cinema Contents: -- acknowledgments -- 1: Introduction -- 2: What is 'Bollywood'? -- 3: Popular Indian Cinema in Britain - Facts and Figures -- 4: Britain and Indian Diaspora Films - Questions of Nostalgia -- 5: Beyond Films - The Development of the Bollywood Brand -- 6: the (trans)difference of Bollywood : British asians through the lens of 'Bollywood Star' -- 7: representations of the Hindi film industry in British first-hand reports -- 8: the changing image of Bollywood in British film reviews -- 9: Bollywood Adaptations -- 10: Conclusion -- notes -- Filmography -- Bibliography -- Index --

Despite this, this is the first book to examine cinematic representations of the father. Brining Up Daddy offers a broad perspective on the Hollywood dad looking at important Hollywood fathers from World War II to the present and discusses films for a variety of genres. The book looks at films decade by decade and adopts a multi-faceted theoretical approach, making use of psychoanalysis, sociology and masculinity studies and contextualising the father figure within both Hollywood and American history. Key films include Since You Went Away, The Search, Rebel without a Cause, The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit, Cape Fear, Kramer vs Kramer, Die Hard, Three Men and a Baby, Boyz n the Hood and Magnolia. In its treatment of the father this unique study discusses why the father is such a seminal character in so many narratives and what he has come to symbolise and represent.

EUROPEAN COUNTRIES; PRODUCTION. UK; PRODUCTION. USA; PRODUCTION COMPANIES & STUDIOS; GOVERNMENT AID; FOX STUDIOS AUSTRALIA; HOLLYWOOD Summary: Studio complexes are an important part of the way places around the world compete for and participate in international production. Many studios, in a range of locations, now have the size and sophistication to service large-budget feature film production. This comprehensive study of contemporary international studio considers the circumstances in which this rash of studio complex building and renovating has occurred – in places as diverse as Rome, London, Berlin, Prague, Vancouver, Toronto, Sydney, the Gold Coast and Melbourne. Central to the study is an understanding of studio complexes as cinema and media cities providing not only sound stages but a full range of production and post-production services in the one location. Cinema Cities, Media Cities is the first published analysis of this new international studio system, its origins, its business and its policy contexts. [Taken from back cover.] ISBN: 0958015279

Cinema in a small state : distribution and exhibition in Adelaide at the coming of sound in Studies in Australasian cinema (2007) vol.1 iss.3 p.299-313 Author: Walsh, Mike PhysDes: Article Subject: DISTRIBUTION. AUSTRALIA; EXHIBITION. AUSTRALIA; HISTORY OF CINEMA. TRANSITION SILENT-SOUND; HISTORY OF EXHIBITION. AUSTRALIA Summary: Most histores of Australian cinema have foregrounded film production but have little to say about film distribution and exhibition, which were more powerful sectors of the cinema industry in Australia. This study examines the distribution and exhibition of films in Adelaide's central business district and suburban circuits during the introduction of sound in 1928-29. In addition to analysing the impact of the new technology, this article looks at the way that film distribution in this period changed in response to a number of other factors including the switch to direct distribution, the rise of British production and the local politics of first-run exhibition competition. The article examines the structure of the city and suburban exhibition in Adelaide and demonstrates that any analysis of the industry's response to sound technologies must take into account intensely local factors in order to explain the ways that different compaines adopted varying industrial tactics during the diffusion of this new technology. -- Abstract

Cinematic canines : Dogs and their work in the fiction film / Edited by Adrienne L. McLean New Brunswick, N.J.: Rutgers University Press, 2014. Call No: 738.66 CIN Author: McLean, Adrienne L. (ed.) Place: New Brunswick, N.J. Publisher: Rutgers University Press PubDate: 2014 PhysDes: x, 272 p. ; 24 cm ; Subject: DOGS IN MOTION PICTURES; LASSIE COME HOME (US, Fred M. Willcox, 1943); BABE (AT, Chris Noonan, 1995); BABE: PIG IN THE CITY (AT, George Miller, 1998); THING, THE (US, John Carpenter, 1982); HITCHCOCK, ALFRED; RED DOG (AT, Kriv Stenders, 2011); EIGHT BELOW (US, Frank Marshall, 2006); SOUTH AFRICA; ANTARCTICA Summary: Dogs have been part of motion pictures since the movies began. They have been featured onscreen in various capacities, from any number of “man’s best friends” (Rin Tin Tin, Asta, Toto, Lassie, Benji, Uggie, and many, many more) to the psychotic Cujo. The contributors to Cinematic Canines take a close look at Hollywood films and beyond in order to show that the popularity of dogs on the screen cannot be separated from their increasing presence in our lives over the past century.
The representation and visualization of dogs in cinema, as of other animals, has influenced our understanding of what dogs “should” do and be, for us and with us. Adrienne L. McLean expertly shepherds these original essays into a coherent look at “real” dogs in live-action narrative films, from the stars and featured players to the character and supporting actors to those pooches that assumed bit parts or performed as extras. Who were those dogs, how were they trained, what were they made to do, how did they participate as characters in a fictional universe? These are a just a few of the many questions that she and the outstanding group of scholars in this book have addressed.
Often dogs are anthropomorphized in movies in ways that enable them to reason, sympathize, understand and even talk; and our shaping of dogs into furry humans has had profound effects on the lives of dogs off the screen. Certain breeds of dog have risen in popularity following their appearance in commercial film, often to the detriment of the dogs themselves, who rarely correspond to their idealized screen versions. In essence, the contributors in Cinematic Canines help us think about and understand the meanings of the many canines that appear in the movies and, in turn, we want to know more about those dogs due in no small part to the power of the movies themselves. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9780813563558 Contents: Acknowledgments -- Introduction: Wonder Dogs / Adrienne L.

"Nezar AlSayyad traces the dissolution of the boundary between real and reel through time and space via a series of films that represent different modernities. He contrasts the 'rational' European city of early twentieth-century industrial modernity as portrayed by Berlin: Symphony of a Big City (1927) with its American counterpart in Modern Times (1936). He illustrates the different forms of small town life and an urbanizing modernity across the Atlantic as exemplified by Cinema Paradiso (1989) and It's a Wonderful Life (1946). Using Metropolis (1927) and Brazil (1985), he shows how utopian ideals harbour within them their dystopian realities, while Jacques Tati's nostalgia for tradition in Mon Oncle (1958) and Playtime (1967) reveals a cynical modernity and a rebelling against its idealism." "AlSayyad argues that the postmodern city of Blade Runner (1982) and Falling Down (1993) illustrates some of the urban outcomes of a globalizing economy.
Turning to spectacle and surveillance, he examines Rear Window (1954), Sliver (1993), and The End of Violence (1997) as a voyeuristic modernity. To understand the city experienced by individuals of different social backgrounds, he takes Manhattan (1979), Annie Hall (1977), and Taxi Driver (1976), while Do the Right Thing (1989) and My Beautiful Laundrette (1985) are used to explore a modernity of race and ethnicity. Finally, he uses Pleasantville (1998) and The Truman Show (1998) to unpack the hyperreality of exurban postmodernity and to demonstrate how today the real and the reel have become mutually constitutive." "By considering how the real city and the reel city reference each other in an act of mutual representation and definition, this book advances the discussion on cinematic space and theories of the city."--BOOK BLURB.

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 Notes: Includes index; Filmography: p. 321-336; Bibliography: p. 337-344 ISBN: 0804426813 : $12.50. 0804466475 pbk. : $4.95 LON: qum00211939; 12437055 857055

Classical masculinity and the spectacular body on film : the mighty sons of Hercules / by Daniel O'Brien Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire: Palgrave Macmillan, 2014. Call No: 451-01 OBR Author: O'Brien, Daniel Source: UK/US Place: Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan PubDate: 2014 PhysDes: vii, 191 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm Subject: MASCULINITY IN FILMS; MEN IN FILMS; BODY IN FILMS; HEROS IN FILMS; MYTH AND THE CINEMA; ACTION FILMS; HISTORICAL FILMS; HERCULES (IT, Pietro Francisci, 1957); FATICHE DI ERCOLE, LE (IT, Pietro Francisci, 1957); JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS (UK/US, Don Chaffey, 1963); 300 (US, Zach Snyder, 2006); CONAN THE BARBARIAN (US, John Milius, 1982); XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS [TV] (US, 1995-) Summary: "The cinema has often showcased the muscular male body, most notably in genres invoking classical Greco-Roman culture, whether peplum, epic or sword-and-sorcery. This book reassesses the classically-inflected action film as a significant cinematic form, often marginalized in media studies, that transcends such reductive labels as camp or kitsch. The focus is on the depiction of heroic masculinity, often characterized as reactionary or fascist, yet far more varied and contradictory, especially in relation to femininity and non-whiteness. These diverse representations of masculinity offer a major contribution to debates on maleness within and beyond academia that has been largely unexplored. In particular, Hercules in his many incarnations is one of the most important mythopoetic figures, on a par with King Arthur, Robin Hood, Tarzan and James Bond, informing popular cultural interpretations of manliness and the exaggerated male form"-- BOOK BLURB Notes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical references (pages 177-186) and index ISBN: 9781137384706 Contents: -- Introduction -- Part I: men as men should be 1.

Analyses what makes an acting performance excellent, through a range of examples from world cinema. What actors do on-screen is a fascination for audiences all over the world. Indeed, the cultural visibility of movie stars is so pronounced that stardom has often been regarded as intrinsic to the medium's specificity. Yet not all great cinematic performances are star turns, and so, what really makes a cinematic performance good, interesting, or important has been a neglected topic in film criticism. This two-volume set presents detailed interpretations of singular performances by several of the most compelling actors in cinema history, asking in many different and complementary ways what makes performance meaningful, how it reflects a director's style, as well as how it contributes to the development of national cinemas and cultures. Whether noting the precise ways actors shape film narrative, achieve emotional effect, or move toward political subversion, the essays in these books innovate new approaches to studying screen performance as an art form and cultural force"--Page 4 of cover.

The comedy of philosophy : sense and nonsense in early cinematic slapstick / Lisa Trahair Albany: State University of New York Press, 2007. Call No: 630 TRA Author: Trahair, Lisa Source: US Place: Albany Publisher: State University of New York Press PubDate: 2007 PhysDes: xi, 264 p. : ill. ; 24 cm Series: SUNY series, insinuations--philosophy, psychoanalysis, literature Subject: COMEDIES; HISTORY OF CINEMA. SILENT PERIOD; PHILOSOPHY AND THE CINEMA; BATAILLE, GEORGES; FREUD, SIGMUND Summary: "The Comedy of Philosophy brings modern debates in continental philosophy to bear on the historical study of early cinematic comedy. Through the films of Mack Sennett, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, and the Marx Brothers, Lisa Trahair investigates early cinema's exploration of sense and nonsense by utilizing the contributions to the philosophy of comedy made by Freud and Bataille and by examining significant poststructuralist interpretations of their work. Trahair explores the shift from the excessive physical slapstick of the Mack Sennett era to the so-called structural comedy of the 1920s, and also offers a new perspective on the importance of psychoanalysis for the study of film by focusing on the implications of Freud's theory of the unconscious for our understanding of visuality."--BOOK JACKET.

Placing Hitchcock and his works in their cultural and intellectual contexts, contributors to the volume explore the genres with which his work is most closely associated; his relationships with his performers and other leading collaborators; the verbal and visual style of his films; Hitchcock's rise to prominence as the quintessential Hollywood auteur; the ideological and ethical implications of his films; and the enduring legacy he left to filmmakers and audiences alike." -- BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.

It reworks Pasolini's landmark concept of 'the cinema of poetry' to look at the transformation of film form in its encounter with society, the sacred, the subjective and the presence of the camera. In the 1970s, the influential forms of a cinema of poetry are analysed in key features by Altman, Herzog, Malick, Scorsese, Weir, Von Trotta and Tarkovsky while in the 1980s and 1990s the emergence of new filmmakers has meant a diffusion of different cinemas of poetry using new techniques and new poetries. Of key importance here is the work of Kieslowski, Lynch, Egoyan, Campion, Greenaway, Zhang Yimou, Tran Anh Hung and Wong Kar-Wai, as well as the reinvention of science fiction and film noir in American genre."
