Adaptations in the sound era : 1927-37 / Deborah Cartmell London: UK Bloomsbury Academic, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing Inc, 2015.
Call No: 753.1 CARAuthor: Cartmell, Deborah Source: UKPlace: LondonPublisher: UK Bloomsbury Academic, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing IncPubDate: 2015PhysDes: vii, 166 pages ; 24 cm.Series: Bloomsbury adaptation historiesSubject: 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 SITENotes: Formerly CIP.

The altering eye : contemporary international cinema / Robert Phillip Kolker Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1983.
Call No: 62 KOLAuthor: Kolker, Robert Phillip Source: USPlace: OxfordPublisher: Oxford University PressPubDate: 1983PhysDes: 428 p. : ill. ; 21 cmSubject: 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 BLURBNotes: Includes index; Bibliography: p. 405-415ISBN: 0195033027Contents: -- introduction -- one: the vaildity of image -- two: the substance of form -- three: politics, psychology, and memory -- notes -- bibliography -- index --URL status: URL: 'http://-'

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 COVERNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9783319666754Donation: Stephen GaunsonContents: -- 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 --

(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.Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p.

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 BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 208-217) and index; Filmography: p. 207-208ISBN: 0816626251Contents: 1.

Beyond the looking glass : narcissism and female stardom in studio-era Hollywood New York : Oxford: Berghahn Books, 2014.

USA ; 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 BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references and index -- Includes filmographyISBN: 9781782383994Donation: donated by Senses of Cinema, 2014Contents: Introduction: The Narcissistic Woman: Reflections and Projections -- 1.

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 JACKETNotes: 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).

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 BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9781501307614Donation: Senses of CinemaContents: -- 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 --

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: ArticleSubject: 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

"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.Notes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 0415700493Contents: -- about the author -- preface -- Introduction : the cinematic city and the quest for the modern -- 1.

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.ISBN: 9780791472477Donation: donated by Senses of Cinema, 2010Contents: 1.

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. --

Storytellers mobilize this legend in unique and exciting ways that reflect upon both the cultural and actual history of bushrangers, as well as speaking to contemporary concerns and driving debate on the national character. ‘A Cultural History of the Bushranger Legend in Theatres and Cinemas, 1828–2017’ is a multidisciplinary investigation into the history of cultural representations of the bushranger legend on the stage and screen, charting that history from its origins in colonial theatre works performed while bushrangers still roamed Australia’s bush to contemporary Australian cinema. It considers the influences of industrial, political and social disruptions on these representations as well as their contributions to those disruptions.
‘A Cultural History of the Bushranger Legend in Theatres and Cinemas, 1828–2017’ is a comprehensive cultural history of representations of bushrangers in cinema and colonial theatre. Beginning with the bushranger legend’s establishment, it explores the formative years of the representational tradition, identifying the origins of characteristics and the social and industrial mechanisms through which they passed from history to popular theatre. Tracing the legend’s development, the book interrogates the promotion of these characteristics from a contested popular history to an officially sanctioned national outlook in the cinema. Finally, it analyzes the contemporary fragmentation of the bushranger legend, attending to the dissatisfactions and challenges that arose in response to political and social debates galvanized by the 1988 bicentenary.
The cultural history recounted in ‘A Cultural History of the Bushranger Legend in Theatres and Cinemas, 1828–2017’ provides not only an into the role of popular narrative representations of bushrangers in the development and reflection of Australian character, but also a detailed case study of the specific mechanisms at work in the symbiosis between a nation’s values and its creative production. Bushrangers have had a heightened though unstable significance in Australia due to the nation’s diverse population and historical insecurities and conflicts over colonial identity, land rights and settlement. Community often defined the bushrangers in their stage and screen appearances, and the challenges that these marginalized communities faced were absorbed into the political and social mainstream. ‘A Cultural History of the Bushranger Legend in Theatres and Cinemas, 1828–2017’ is an insight into the process through which the bushranger legend earned its cultural resonance in Australia. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781783088911Contents: List of Figures -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction: Defining the Bushranger Legend -- Part 1: Establishing the Legend; 1.

However, his philosophy makes considerable demands on the student; his major works make for challenging reading and require engagement with some difficult concepts and complex systems of thought. 'Deleuze: A Guide for the Perplexed' is the ideal text for anyone who needs to get to grips with Deleuzian thought, offering a thorough yet approachable account of the central themes in his work. The text is organised around major themes in Deleuze's oeuvre: sense; univocity; intuition; singularity; difference. His ideas related to language, politics, ethics and consciousness are explored in detail and clarified. The book also locates Deleuze in the context of his philosophical influences and antecedents and highlights the implications of his ideas for a range of disciplines from politics to film theory. Throughout, close attention is paid to Deleuze's most influential publications, including the landmark texts, 'The Logic of Sense' and 'Difference and Repetition'." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 0826478301Language: EnglishDonation: Adrian MilesContents: 1 Cinema, thought and time -- Deleuze's cinema books -- Technology -- Essences -- Space and time -- Bergson, time, and life -- 2 The movement-image -- The history of time and space and the history of cinema -- movement-image and semiotics -- styles of sign -- whole of movement -- Image and life -- Becoming-inhuman, becoming imperceptible -- The deduction of the movement-image -- 3 Art and time -- Destruction of the sensory motor apparatus and the spiritual automaton -- Time and money -- 4 Art and history -- Monument -- Framing, territorialization, and the plane of composition -- 5 Politics and the origin of meaning -- Transcending life and the genesis of sense -- Beyond symbolic and imaginary -- Shit and money -- Exchange, gift, and theft -- The fiction of mind -- Collective investment and group fantasy -- The time of man -- The intense germinal influx --

To the five parts which trace the development of the genre from the 1920s Jacobs has added a new section of seven essays on the documentaries of the 1970s. The section is introduced by his own survey of the filmmaking of the period, "From Political Activism to Women's Consciousness," and accompanied by a selected list of documentaries of the 1970s together with photographs from a number of these films. The bibliography of works on documentary films and filmmakers has been expanded." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes index; Bibliography: p. 577-579ISBN: 0393950425LON: 1437994URL status: URL: 'http://-'

Hoberman delivers a brilliant and witty look at the decade when politics and pop culture became one. This was the era of the Missile Gap and the Space Race, the Black and Sexual Revolutions, the Vietnam War and Watergate - as well as the tele-saturation of the American market and the advent of Pop art. In "elegant, epigrammatic prose" (A.O Scott), Hoberman moves from the political histories of movies to the theater of wars, national political campaigns, and pop-culture events. With entertaining reinterpretations of key Hollywood movies such as Bonnie and Clyde, The Wild Bunch, and Shampoo, and meditations on personages ranging from John Wayne and Patty Hearst to Jane Fonda, Ronald Reagan, and Che Guevara. Hoberman reconstructs the hidden poltical history of 1960s cinema and the spectacular formation of America's mass-mediated politics" -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Originally published: 2003ISBN: 1565849787Contents: -- acknowledgments -- introduction: "suddenly...It's 1960!" -- I.

Everyone was watching! : strategies of self-presentation in oral histories of cinema-going in Studies in Australasian cinema (2007) vol.1 iss.3 p.261-274
Author: Huggett, Nancy PhysDes: ArticleSubject: AUDIENCES. AUSTRALIA ; PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF FILMS ; NARRATIVE IN FILMS. AUSTRALIA ; AUDIENCE RECEPTION. AUSTRALIA ; HISTORY OF CINEMA Summary: This article considers the different ways in which strategies of selective self-presentation on behalf of both interviewee and interviewer structure the oral history narrative, using, as an example. the ways in which embarrassment and shame function in narratives of cinema-going in Australia. The essay explores when and how embarrassment and shame feature in cinema-going narratives and also the way in which some issues, such as the recollection of segregation in rural cinemas, disrupt the easy conversational flow of a narrative and cause discomfort, bordering on embarrassment and shame for both interviewee and interviewer.
Drawing on oral histories and autobiographical accounts from New South Wales cinema-goers, this article delves into the public/private and past/present functions of embarrassment and shame in order to better understand cinema-going practices and recollection strategies. It takes into account how critical oral history and cultural theory can assist cinema studies to examine how practices of cinema-going are situated within wider cultural attidudes and discourses. -- Abstract

Exploiting the regional Queensland audience : Birch Carroll and Coyle's Wintergarden theatres, 1925-35 in Studies in Australasian cinema (2007) vol.1 iss.3 p.333-351
Author: Cryle, Denis ; Johansen, Grace PhysDes: ArticleSubject: BIRCH CARROLL AND COYLE ; AUDIENCES. AUSTRALIA ; EXHIBITION. AUSTRALIA ; REGIONAL EXHIBITION. AUSTRALIA ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. AUSTRALIA ; ADVERTISING FOR FILMS. AUSTRALIA Summary: The authors examine the first decade of the Birch Carroll and Coyle consortium, focusing on its regional Wintergarden theatre chain and on its stated objective of bringing metropolitan sophistication to regional centres, in a period of industry optimism which coincided with the construction of its Wintergarden theatres throughout Queensland. The article draws on local print sources and interview material in order to explain and confirm the social appeal of cinema-going across a range of regional sites. The exploitation campaigns organized and coordinated by Birch Carroll and Coyle's regional and state managers in the midst of moral opposition, government regulation and press criticism, both before and after the advent of the talkies, is examined. Drawing extensively from industry journals of the period, the authors argue that press publicity, along with local stunts and staged events, formed an integral part of Birch Carroll and Coyle's concerted strategy to sell its Hollywood product and offset ongoing criticism within government and local communities. In conclusion, they examine the impact of the Depression on the industry in Queensland, including regional audiences, and assess its impact on Birch Carroll and Coyle's subsequent regional theatre publicity campaigns. -- Abstract

Fast Times and Excellent Adventures goes behind the scenes of a genre where cult hits mingled with studio blockbusters, where giants like Spielberg and Coppola rubbed shoulders with baby-faced first-timers and where ambitious future superstars Sean, Demi and Tom all got their big break. Music, comedy and politics - all play a part in the surprisingly complex history of the '80s teen movie. And while the films might have been aimed primarily at adolescents, the best tackle universal issues and remain a magnet to all ages. Time of your life, huh kid?
From a late '70s Hollywood in flux to an early '90s indie scene that gave youth cinema a timely reboot, respected film expert James King smartly highlights the personal struggles, the social changes and the boardroom shake-ups that produced an iconic time in movie history" -- BOOK BACK COVERNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9781472123725

Stuart Cunningham probes the work of Chauvel to examine his strange, ambitious and fascinating films and the industrial and cultural environment from which they emerged - giving an appreciation of the films which has never before been available. This book also offers new approaches to understanding Australian cinema, and show how Australian culture and society changed during the period of Chauvel's work. Running through these changes, however, are continuities based on Australia's status as an 'import culture' and the consequent frailties of its cultural identity."

USA ; CRITICISM Summary: " The first filmed prizefight, Veriscope's Corbett-Fitzsimmons Fight (1897), became one of cinema's earliest major attractions and ushered in an era in which hugely successful boxing films helped transform a stigmatized sport into legitimate entertainment. Exploring a significant and fascinating period in the development of modern sports and media, Fight Pictures is the first work to chronicle the mostly forgotten story of how legitimate bouts, fake fights, comic sparring matches, and more came to silent-era movie screens and became part of American popular culture." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical references (p. 305-367) and index; Includes filmography: p. 291-303ISBN: 9780520250758Donation: Donated by Senses Of Cinema, 2009Contents: 1.

This collection aims to broaden our understanding of early cinema as a significant innovation in media history. Joining traditional scholarship with fresh insights from a variety of disciplines, this book explains the aesthetic and institutional characteristics in early cinema within the context of the contemporary media landscape. It also addresses trans-cultural developments such as scientific revolutions, industrialization, urbanization, and globalization, as well as differing attitudes toward modernization. Film 1900 is an important reassessment of early cinema's position in cultural history."--BACK COVERISBN: 9780861966967Contents: Introduction.

EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ; EUROPEAN CINEMA ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. 1920's ; BALLET MECANIQUE, LE (FR, Fernand Leger, 1924) ; MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA (UR, Dziga Vertov, 1929) ; PARIS QUI DORT (FR, Rene Clair, 1923) ; CHIEN ANDALOU, UN (FR, Luis Bunuel, 1928) Summary: "In the 1920s, the European avant-garde embraced the cinema, experimenting with the medium in radical ways. Painters including Hans Richter and Fernand Leger as well as filmmakers belonging to such avant-garde movements as Dada and surrealism made some of the most enduring and fascinating films in the history of cinema. In The Filming of Modern Life, Malcolm Turvey examines five films from the avant-garde canon and the complex, sometimes contradictory, attitudes toward modernity they express: Rhythm 21 (Hans Richter, 1921), Ballet mecanique (Dudley Murphy and Fernand Leger, 1924), Entr'acte (Francis Picabia and Rene Clair, 1924), Un chien Andalou (Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel, 1929), and Man with a Movie Camera (Dziga Vertov, 1929). All exemplify major trends within European avant-garde cinema of the time, from abstract animation to "cinema pur." Turvey argues that these films share a concern with modernization and the rapid, dislocating changes it was bringing about. He critically addresses major theories of the avant-garde and its relation to modern life, including the claim that film is "distracting" in the same way as a modern environment, and he challenges the standard view of the avant-garde as implacably opposed to bourgeois modernity. In fact, he writes, not only was there considerable disagreement among avant-garde movements about what aspects of modern life needed transformation, but the positions of individual avant-garde artists toward modernization were complex, even contradictory. All five films that Turvey analyzes embrace and resist, in their own ways, different aspects of modernity. Although much has been written about each of these films, The Filming of Modern Life is the first book to examine them together, illuminating their shared concern with modernization and its consequences." -- BOOK JACKETNotes: "An October book"; Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9780262015189Contents: -- acknowledgments -- introduction -- Abstraction and rhythm 21 -- "Cinema pur" and Ballet me´chanique -- Dada, Entr'acte and Paris qui dort -- Surrealism and Un chien andalou -- City symphony and Man with a movie camera -- Film, distraction, and modernity -- notes -- index --

The films of the eighties : a social history / William J. Palmer Carbondale: Southern Illinois University Press, 1993.
Call No: 409 PALAuthor: Palmer, William J. Source: USPlace: CarbondalePublisher: Southern Illinois University PressPubDate: 1993PhysDes: xv, 335 pages : illustrations ; 24 cmSubject: HISTORY OF CINEMA. 1980's ; SOCIETY AND THE CINEMA ; VIETNAM WAR IN FILMS ; WAR AND THE CINEMA ; NUCLEAR WARFARE IN FILMS ; TERRORISM AND THE CINEMA ; FEMINISM AND THE CINEMA Summary: "In this remarkable sequel to his Films of the Seventies: A Social History, William J. Palmer examines more than three hundred films as texts that represent, revise, parody, comment upon, and generate discussion about major events, issues, and social trends of the eighties. Palmer defines the dialectic between film art and social history, taking as his theoretical model the 'holograph of history' that originated from the New Historicist theories of Hayden White and Dominick LaCaprra. In the eighties,such issues included the war in Vietnam, the preservation of the American farm, terrorism, nuclear holocaust, changes in Soviet-American relations, neoconservative feminism, and yuppies. Among the films Palmer examines are Platoon, The Killing Fields, The River, Out of Africa, Little Drummer Girl, Kiss of the Spiderwoman, Silkwood, The Day After, Red Dawn, Moscow on the Hudson, Troop Beverly Hills, and Fatal Attraction. Utilizing the principles of New Historicism, Palmer demonstrates that film can analyze and critique history as well as present it." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9780809320295Contents: The holograph of history -- The Vietnam War as film text -- The "coming home" films -- The terrorism film texts -- The nuclear war film texts -- From the "evil empire" to Glasnost -- The feminist farm crisis and other neoconservative feminist texts -- The yuppie texts -- Film in the holograph of new history

USA ; TWENTIETH CENTURY-FOX ; ZANUCK, DARRYL F. ; ZANUCK, RICHARD ; CLEOPATRA (US, Joseph L. Mankiewicz, 1963) Summary: "A powerful man and his determined son, an internationally famous dream factory where money is no object, and a battle between egos staged on the most lavish playgrounds in the world. This is the inside story of a family torn from within by greed, envy and a blind need to control. Movie mogul Darryl F. Zanuck believed that the kingdom he had built - 20th Century Fox - was impregnable to outside conquest. Little did he dream that the power who would eventually dethrone him in one of the nastiest battles in Hollywood history would be none other than his own son, Richard Zanuck. In the best Hollywood tradition, this drama was played out on a larger than life scale against a glamorous international setting. There is a cast of supporting players that formed a Zanuck coterie - from their innumerable "yes men" to the old man's many mistresses [...] THE FOX THAT GOT AWAY is filled with high drama. It is a story that will not be soon forgotten, and a look at the workings of an industry that never fails to fascinate."

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 siteISBN: 9781783209897Contents: List of Illustrations -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction: Beginnings and Ends: Historical Collusion -- Chapter 1: Cigarette Burns and Bullet Holes: Celluloid Cues in Digital Cinema -- Section I: Early Cinema: Colour and Spectrality -- Chapter 2: Applied Colour: Chromatic Frankenstein's Monsters? -- Chapter 3: The Serpentine Dance Films: 'Dream Visions That Change Ten Thousand Times a Minute' -- Section II: Luminescence, Montage and Frame Ratios -- Chapter 4: Memory and Noir: Neon Contrasts -- Chapter 5: Cutting: Shock and Endurance -- Chapter 6: Screens, Scale Ratio: Vertical Celluloid in the Digital Age -- Section III: Cinema Beyond the Frame -- Chapter 7: Hallucinatory Framing and Kaleidoscopic Vision -- Chapter 8: Ephemeral Screens: The Muybridgizer -- Bibliography -- Index

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

It is, arguably, an image that has remained unchanged in the mind's eye of many exploitation film fans and academics alike. Whether in the pages of fanzines or scholarly works, it is often recounted how, should one have walked down this street between the 1960s and the 1980s, one would have undergone a kaleidoscopic encounter with an array of disparate “exploitation” films from all over the world that were being offered cheaply to urbanites by a swathe of vibrant movie theatres.
The contributors to Grindhouse: Cultural Exchange on 42nd Street, and Beyond consider “grindhouse cinema” from a variety of cultural and methodological positions. Some seek to deconstruct the etymology of “grindhouse” itself, add flesh to the bones of its cadaverous history, or examine the term's contemporary relevance in the context of both media production and consumerism. Others offer new inroads into hitherto unexamined examples of exploitation film history, presenting snapshots of cultural moments that many of us thought we already understood." -- BOOK BACK COVERNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9781628927498Contents: -- Table of Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction: 42nd Street, and Beyond -- Austin Fisher and Johnny Walker -- Chapter 1 -- Grinding out the Grindhouse: Exploitation, Myth and Memory / Glenn Ward -- Chapter 2 -- Where Did We Come In?: The Economics of Unruly Audiences, Their Cinemas and Tastes, From Serial Houses to Grind Houses / Phyll Smith -- Chapter 3 -- Temporary Fleapits and Scabs' Alley:The Theatrical Dissemination of Italian Cannibal Films in Melbourne, Australia / Dean Brandum -- Chapter 4 -- Run, Angel, Run: Serial Production and the Biker Movie, 1966-72 / Peter Stanfield -- Chapter 5 -- "The Smashing, Crashing, Pileup of the Century": The Carsploitation Film / Robert J Read -- Chapter 6 -- Cars and Girls (and Burgers and Weed): Branding, Mainstreaming, and Crown International Pictures' SoCal Drive-in Movies / Richard Nowell -- Chapter 7 -- From "Sex Entertainment for the Whole Family" to Mature Pictures: I Jomfruens Tegn and Transnational Erotic Cinema / Kevin Heffernan -- Chapter 8 -- 'Bigger Than A Payphone, Smaller Than A Cadillac': Porn Stardom in Exhausted: John C Holmes The Real Story / Neil Jackson -- Chapter 9 -- From Opera House to Grindhouse (And Back Again): Ozploitation In and Beyond Australia / Alexandra Heller-Nicholas -- Chapter 10 -- Go West, Brother: the Politics of Landscape in the Blaxploitation Western / Austin Fisher -- Chapter 11 -- Red Power, White Movies: Billy Jack, Johnny Firecloud, and the Cultural Politics of the "Indiansploitation" Cycle / David Church -- Chapter 12 -- Sleazy Strip-Joints and Perverse Porn Circuses: The Remediation of Grindhouse in the Porn Productions of Jack the Zipper / Clarissa Smith -- Select Bibliography -- Contributors -- index --

AUSTRALIA ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. NEW ZEALAND Summary: " Australian Filmmakers have honed their skills and many have achieved critical and popular success at home and abroad, as have actors and other crew. American filmmakers and companies have found it cheaper to make films in Australia because wages and salaries are lower, tax rebates have been attractive and the expertise in most areas of filmmaking is comparable to that of anywhere in the world. Australian audiences make some of these films profitable, even if this is a small profit when considered in Hollywood terms. New Zealand filmmakers, cast and crew have shown that they are equal to the world's best in making films with international themes, other films have shown that the world is interested in New Zealand narratives and settings. Increased support for Maori filmmakers and stories has had a significant impact on production levels and on the diversity of stories that now reach the screen. It has also helped create more viable career paths for those who continue to be based in their home country." -- BOOK BACK COVERNotes: Previous edition was written by Albert Moran and Errol Vieth and published by Scarecrow, 2005; Includes bibliographical references (pages 347-402)ISBN: 9781538111260Contents: -- editor's foreword -- preface -- reader's note -- Australia -- acronyms and abbreviations -- Chronology -- Introduction -- The dictionary -- New Zealand / Aotearoa -- Acronyms and abbreviations -- Chronology -- Introduction -- The dictionary -- bibliography -- about the authors --

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

Van Dyke, 1938) Summary: "In Hollywood 1938, Catherine Jurca brings to light a tumultuous year of crisis that has been neglected in histories of the studio era. With attendance in decline, negative publicity about stars who were "poison at the box office", and a spate of bad films, industry executives decided that the public was fed up with the movies. Jurca describes their desperate attempt to win back audiences by launching Motion Pictures' Greatest Year, a massive, and unsuccessful, public relations campaign conducted in theaters and newspapers across North America. Drawing on the records of studio personnel, independent exhibitors, movie-goers, and the motion pictures themselves, she analyzes what was wrong - and right - with Hollywood at the end of a heralded decade and how the industry's troubles changed the making and marketing of films in 1938 and beyond." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Formerly CIP; "Fletcher Jones Foundation humanities imprint"; Includes bibliographical references (p. 231-261), index and filmographyISBN: 9780520271807Donation: Donated by Senses of CInema, 2013Contents: -- list of illustrations -- acknowledgments -- Introduction: Hollywood looks at its audience -- The campaign -- Annus horribilis -- Goldwyn's folly -- Such a thing as bad publicity -- The moviegoing habit -- Exhibitors, the movie quiz contest, and a divided industry -- the minds of exhibitors -- The carrot and the stick -- The quiz contest on the ground -- What the contest did for me -- Independents rebel -- The campaign and the press -- The film industry speaks its mind -- Marginal moviegoers -- The gossip columnists -- The dailies have their say -- The films -- "The finest array of productions" -- Ninety-four films -- The death of glamour -- Human films -- The human side of screwball -- You can't take it with you -- Four daughters -- Boys town -- Marie Antoinette -- That's entertainment -- The fourth estate -- Conclusion: motion pictures' worst year -- appendix 1 -- appendix 2 -- notes -- index --

Though much of Hollywood's engagement with the law occurs offstage, in the larger theater of copyright, many of Hollywood's valued treasures - from Modern Times (1936) to Star Wars (1977) - cannot be fully understood without appreciating their legal controversies. Peter Decherney shows that the history of intellectual property in Hollywood has not always mirrored the evolution of the law and recounts these extralegal solutions and their impact on American media and culture." - BOOK BLURBNotes: Contains list of illustrations and indexISBN: 9780231159470

HONG KONG ; POPULAR CULTURE AND THE CINEMA. HONG KONG Summary: Since the 1960s, Hong Kong cinema has helped to shape one of the world's most popular cultural genres: action cinema. Hong Kong action films have proved popular over the decades with audiences worldwide, and they have seized the imaginations of filmmakers working in many different cultural traditions and styles. How do we account for this appeal, which changes as it crosses national borders?
Hong Kong Connections brings leading film scholars together to explore the uptake of Hong Kong cinema in Japan, Korea, India, Australia, France and the US, as well as its links with Taiwan, Singapore and the Chinese mainland. In the process, this collective study examines diverse cultural contexts for action cinema's popularity, and the problems involved in the transnational study of globally popular forms - suggesting that in order to grasp the history of Hong Kong action cinema's influence we need to bring out the difference as well as the links that constitute popularity.

Instead of surveying the development of Canadian film over the last four decades, I have chosen to concentrate on certain key moments in the history of Canadian films, moments in our national filmmaking that most clearly manifest the indigenous style and concerns of our cinema and that disclose certain deeply felt problems that pertain both to our collective psychology and social dynamics and to fundamental issues of artistic representation and expression. What seems to be needed at this stage in our cinematic history is a careful, reasoned assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of our cinematic tradition which establishes the place of the Canadian cinema within Canadian artistic practice." -- PREFACENotes: Includes index; "Filmographies": p. 444-449; Includes bibliographical references (p. 451-465) and indexISBN: 0889209561Contents: -- foreword -- preface -- acknowledgements -- introduction -- part one -- introduction -- chapter 1-- a house divided -- chapter 2 -- two schools of thought -- chapter 3 -- an aesthetics of reconciliation -- part two -- introduction -- chapter 4 -- the documentary film in Canada --chapter 5 -- narrative transmission in American direct Canada films and Canadian candid-eye films -- chapter 6 -- the reality principle: "Goin' down the road" -- chapter 7 -- modes of representation in cinema -- part three - introduction -- chapter 8 -- Michael Snow's 'Wavelength' -- chapter 9 -- from painting into cinema: a study of Jack Chamber's ;circle' -- chapter 10 -- all things in their time: on Michael's snow -- chapter 11 -- the photographic image in Canadian avant-garde film -- chapter 12 -- Michael Snow presents 'presents' -- chapter 13 -- idealism, photography and the Canadian avant-garde film -- chapter 14 -- forms of cinema: models of self -- notes -- appendix: filmography -- bibliography -- index --

The image of librarians in cinema 1917-1999 Jefferson, North Carolina, and London: McFarland & Company Inc., 2005.
Call No: 757-0 TEVAuthor: Ray Tevis & Brenda Tevis Place: Jefferson, North Carolina, and LondonPublisher: McFarland & Company Inc.PubDate: 2005PhysDes: 25 cm ; 230 pp.Subject: CAREERS IN FILMS ; TYPE CHARACTERS IN FILMS ; WOMEN IN FILMS ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. SILENT PERIOD ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. SOUND PERIOD Summary: The onscreen image of the librarian has changed little through the century. A silent 1921 film set the precedent for two female librarian characters: a dowdy spinster wears glasses and a bun hairstyle, and an attractive young woman is overworked and underpaid. Silent films did, however, give a variety of characteristics to librarians, showing them at work on many different tasks, and featuring them in a range of dramatic, romantic, and comedic situations. The sound era (during which librarians appeared in more than 200 films) frequently exaggerated these characteristics and situations, strongly influencing the general image of librarians. This monograph (with filmographies at the back) analyzes the stereotypical image of librarians, male and female, in primarily American and British motion pictures from 1917 through 1999. The work briefly describes each film, offers critical commentary, and then examines its librarian character, from socioeconomic conditions and motivations to personal attributes (clothing, hair, age) and romantic entanglements to common props and plots.

The twenties saw the birth of celebrity, still so influential even today. With the influence of Freud and the unconscious came film noir, anticipated by dark European classics like La Bete Humaine; Hollywood in the fifties turned ideological fears into lurid sci-fi and body-snatching horror; with the social change of the sixties came refracted ways of seeing, from Alfie to theStargate sequence in 2001: A Space Odyssey or a compelling seventies nightmares like Carrie. Moving towards our own century, Francine Stock considers how film reflects back on itself, bending time and technology to look to the future. More than a century on from those earliest awe-inspiring images, we are still in thrall to the power of film. In this fascinating, entertaining and illuminating book Francine Stock shows how film both reflects and remakes our world.ISBN: 9781845951993

Many scholars have linked the origins of the discipline to late-1960s developments in the academy such as structuralist theory and student protest. Yet this collection reveals the broader material and institutional forces—both inside and outside of the university—that have long shaped the field. Beginning with the first investigations of cinema in the early twentieth century, this volume provides detailed examinations of the varied social, political, and intellectual milieus in which knowledge of cinema has been generated. The contributors explain how multiple instantiations of film study have had a tremendous influence on the methodologies, curricula, modes of publication, and professional organizations that now constitute the university-based discipline. Extending the historical insights into the present, contributors also consider the directions film study might take in changing technological and cultural environments. -- Publisher descriptionNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9780822342892Contents: The Academy and Motion Pictures / Lee Grieveson, Haidee Wasson

IRELAND ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. USA ; IDENTITY IN FILMS ; THEORY ; LEE, SPIKE ; JORDAN, NEIL Summary: "Focusing on two film traditions not normally studied together, Maria Pramaggiore examines more than two dozen Irish and African American films, including Do the Right Thing, In the Name of the Father, The Crying Game, Boyz N the Hood, The Snapper, and He Got Game, arguing that these films foreground practices of character identification that complicate essentialist notions of national and racial identity. The porous sense of self associated with moments of identification in these films offers a cinematic counterpart to W. E. B. Du Bois's potent concept of double consciousness, an epistemological standpoint derived from experiences of colonization, racialization, and cultural disruption. Characters in these films, Pramaggiore suggests, reject the national paradigm of insider and outsider in favor of diasporic both/and notions of self, thereby endorsing the postmodern concept of identity as performance."--BOOK JACKET.Notes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical references (p. 209-237) and indexISBN: 9780791470954Contents: Ch. 1.

AUSTRALIA ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. SILENT PERIOD ; ACTORS. AUSTRALIA Summary: J.P. McGowan (1880-1952) was one of Hollywood’s most prolific pioneers: actor, director, screenwriter, producer and industrial advocate for the motion picture industry. Known as the “Railroad Man” for his specialization in action movies involving railroads, he made common the image of the terrified beauty tied to a track – his first wife was Helen Holmes, of his iconic silent series The Hazards of Helen. This work, the first biography of the Australian-born adventurer, covers a screen career spanning 30 years and over 600 productions from the dawn of the silent era. It chronicles his entire life and places him within the context of the times in which he lived and worked. Previously unknown details are unearthed on his family background and early life, as well as his participation in the Boer War and his move to the United States. The work concludes with a comprehensive filmography of McGowan’s work. [Taken from back cover].ISBN: 0786419946

This new medium developed rapidly into a popular form of entertainment thanks to new technology, artistic ingenuity and creative entrepreneurship. The film industry could grow in part because of passionate businessmen like Jean Desmet (1875-1956), who rose from fairground showman to become one of the most important cinema exhibitors and film distributors in the Netherlands. This publication pays tribute to Jean Desmet the entrepreneur and pioneer, and especially to the films he screened. Films from the second decade of the last century surprise today’s audiences with their original imaginative power, uninhibited vision and inventive use of film techniques. The visual refinement of many of these films makes them both artistic and modern." -- BACK COVER BLURBNotes: Published on the occasion of the exhibition Jean Desmet's Dream Factory: the adventurous years of film (1907-1916) during 13 December 2014-12 April 2015 in Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam.; Includes bibliographical references (page 190)ISBN: 9789462081741Donation: Senses of CinemaContents: -- in our sight , in our mind / Sandra den Hamer -- Jean Desmet's Dream Factory The Adventurous Years of Film (1907-1916) / Jaap Guldemond --

SILENT PERIOD ; EXTRAS ; STUDIOS, FILM. USA ; CHEVALIER, MAURICE ; PARAMOUNT STUDIOS ; JEWS AND THE CINEMA. USA ; NAZIS IN FILMS ; GABIN, JEAN ; ACTORS. UK ; TYPE CHARACTERS IN FILMS Summary: Journeys of Desire offers for the first time a comprehensive critical guide to European Actors in American film, bringing together 15 overview chapters and a-z entries on over 900 individuals in one accessible and scholarly volume. Since the early days of the US film industry, European actors have consistently been a major force in Hollywood. Screen idols such as Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Charles Boyer, Audrey Hepburn, Maurice Chevalier, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Antonio Banderas, as well as scores of more modest players, have profoundly shaped ‘American’ cinema. They have also contributed to the propagation of European types and stereotypes such as the ‘Russian’ and Nordic queens played by Garbo and Dietrich, the French Roues popularized by Chevalier, the fiery Latinos depicted by Banderas and the British arch-villain played by Steven Berkoff, Anthony Hopkins and Tim Roth. Films such as Casablanca (1942), Gigi (1958), Green Card (1990) and Vanilla Sky (2001), among many others, would not be the same without them. Contributions from a team of 70 international experts provide ground-breaking case studies of prominent individuals and phenomena associated with the émigrés, such as the retired Russian officers who played crowds in silent films, the stereotyping of European actresses in ‘bad women’ roles, and the ultimate irony of Jewish actors playing Nazis. Individual entries chart the careers and performances of the European actors – from Victoria Abril to Mai Zetterling – who appeared in American movies. [Taken from back cover].ISBN: 1844571246

His major thesis is that, on the contrary, film language has a social and economic history, that it evolved in the way it did because of when and where it was constructed - in the capitalist and imperialist west between 1892 and 1929. The book examines the chronology of the emergence of what it defines as cinema's Institutional Mode of Representation and the socio-historical circumstances in which this took place. It examines the principles of visualisation - camera placement and movement, lighting, editing, mise-en-scene - that film-makers and audiences came to internalize over the first three decades. Special emphasis is laid on the all-important change that occurred in the imaginary placing of the spectator, from a position of exteriority to the film image, implicit in both film-form and viewing conditions during the primitive era (pre-1909), to the imaginary centering of the spectator-subject, completed only with the generalisation of lip-synch sound after 1929. It is the contention of this book that this imaginary centering of a sensorily isolated spectator is the keystone of the cinematic illustion of reality, still achieved today by the same means as it was sixty years ago." - taken from back coverNotes: Revised versions of papers written 1976-1981, some of which have appeared in English and French magazines -- Includes bibliographical references (p. 274-283) and index -- Filmography: p. 284-305.ISBN: 0520071441Contents: Introduction -- Charles Baudelaire versus Doctor Frankenstein -- Life to Those Shadows -- The Wrong Side of the Tracks -- Those Gentlemen of the Lantern and the Parade -- Business is Business: An Invisible Audience -- Passions and Chases-A Certain Linearisation -- Building a Haptic Space -- A Primitive Mode of Representation? -- The Motionless Voyage: Constitution of The Ubiquitous Subject -- Beyond the Peephole, the Logos -- Narrative, Diegesis: Thresholds, Limits -- Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Filmography -- Index

INDIA ; INDIA ; INDIAN CINEMA ; WORLD CINEMA Summary: "Few would deny that the most significant weapon in India's cultural and artisitc armory is its avowedly commerical cinema, now known as Bollywood. This anthology aims to portray the "soft" power of Bollywood, which makes it a unique and powerful disseminator of Indian culture and values abroad. The essays in the book examine Bollywood's popularity within and outside South Asia, focusing on its role in international relations and diplomacy. In addition to contributions that directly engage with the notion of soft power, a number of essays in the volume testify to the attractiveness of Bollywood cinema for ethnically diverse groups across the world, probe the reasons for its appeal, and explore its audiences' identification with cinematic narratives. Established and emerging scholars in literature, theater, film, dance, music, media, cultural studies, and sociology from different parts of the world present their views from multidisciplinary perspectives based on case studies from Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Germany, Russia, the US, Senegal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Canada, in addition to India" -- BOOK JACKETNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9788132107323Contents: -- list of tables -- list of abbreviations -- forword by Ishtiaq Ahmed -- acknowledgments -- Chapter 1: Introduction / Anjali Gera Roy -- Brand Bollywood and the new Bollywood film. -- Chapter two: Mainstream Hindi cinema and brand Bollywood: the transformation of a cultural artifact / M.

USA Summary: "It's like a plot from a Hollywood potboiler: start out in the mailroom, end up a mogul. But for many, it happens to be true. Some of the biggest names in entertainment- including David Geffen, Barry Diller, and Michael Ovitz started their dazzling careers in the lowly mailroom. Based on more than two hundred interviews, David Rensin unfolds the never-before-told history of an American institution - in the voices of the people who lived it. Through nearly seven decades of glamour and humiliation, lousy pay and incredible perks, killer egos and a kill-or-be-killed ethos, you'll go where the trainees go, learn what they must do to get ahead, and hear the best insider stories from the Hollywood everyone knows about but no one really knows. A vibrant tapestry of dreams, desire, and exploitation, The Mailroom is not only an engrossing read but a crash course, taught by the experts, on how to succeed in Hollywood." -- BACK COVER BOOK BLURBISBN: 9780345442352Contents: -- Kids at Work -- Kids at Work: William Morris Agency, New York, 1937-1951 --

In America, we witness the birth of Hollywood, circa 1910, where film quickly became a powerful industry and D. W. Griffith put American cinema on the map; later, Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton developed a new language of visual comedy while eccentrics like Erich von Stroheim and Cecil B. DeMille turned cinema into a high art form and show biz respectively, and sex symbols like Rudolph Valentino and Greta Garbo heated up the screens.
Meanwhile, in Europe, German directors such as Ernst Lubitsch and Fritz Lang were establishing their careers and Russian greats Eisenstein and Pudovkin were already revolutionizing a nascent art form. At the end of the 1920s the very first "talkies", albeit rudimentary ones, brutally crushed the silent art, but by 1930 sound masterpieces such as Sternberg's The Blue Angel and Milestone's All Quiet on the Western Front were produced. This exploration of the founding years of cinema offers a fascinating perspective on a period in movie history that is far too often overlooked in our times. -- jacket blurbISBN: 9783822846131Donation: Megan McMurchy

Since the early days of Australian film production, movies on Kelly were appearing at regular intervals, and certainly, they are a significant addition to cinema studies and cultural history. Yet, beyond the movies, this thesis discusses Kelly's nineteenth century cultural industry, which played a significant role in commodifying Ned as an important figure of popular entertainment. Indeed, the performance customs and social practices established during Kelly's historic Outbreak of 1878-1880 were taken into the moving pictures in the twentieth century. Kelly's representation though has not been a fixed artefact, and by examining his twentieth and twenty-first century cinema representation, this thesis explores how the origins of his popular image have continued in popular culture. With this thesis adding to the growing field of research on celluloid bandits, it demonstrates the importance of understanding how the Kelly films shift beyond the normal parameters of cinema studies and delve into broader areas of cultural history. As it argues, the Kelly movies are significantly influenced by popular history as well as Kelly's tradition of visual imagery, folk songs and literature.

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

The change in course has become more visible in recent years as China has aggressively developed its national film industry and assumed the role of powerhouse in East Asia’s cinematic landscape. The author introduces the “Cinema of Transitions” to study the New Hong Kong Cinema and on- and off-screen life against this background. Using examples from the 1980s to the present, this book offers a fresh perspective on how Hong Kong-related Chinese-language films, filmmakers, audiences, and the workings of film business in East Asia have become major platforms on which “transitions” are negotiated." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 241-267), filmography (pages 233-240) and indexISBN: 9781782387039Donation: Senses of CinemaContents: -- list of illustrations -- acknowledgments -- notes on romanization, terminology, and information source -- abbreviations-- Introduction: the new Hong Kong cinema, cinema of transitions and East Asia -- Cinematic journeys and journeying in new Hong Kong films -- Outsider characters: Chineseness, and Hong Kong screen imagination and imageries -- Hong Kong filmmakers: authorial vision, self-inscription and social underdogs -- Ethnic Chinese film audiences: the red cliff experience in East and Southeast Asia -- Film policies and transitional politics: the newest East Asian film business network -- conclusion -- appendix -- filmography -- bibliography -- index --

Old debts: the unsung relationship between Australia's film and advertising industries in Studies in Australasian cinema (2008) vol.2 iss.1 p.33-45
Author: Crawford, Robert PhysDes: ArticleSubject: INDUSTRY, FILM. AUSTRALIA ; ADVERTISING. AUSTRALIA ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. AUSTRALIA ; ADVERTISING. TV. AUSTRALIA ; ADVENTURES OF BARRY MCKENZIE, THE (AT, Bruce Beresford, 1972) ; CROCODILE DUNDEE (AT, Peter Faiman, 1986) Summary: This study surveys the relationship that has developed between Australia's advertising and film industries from the early twentieth century to the present. Throughout this period there has been a continuous exchange of skills, talent and ideas between the two industries. While the flow has been two ways, it will be argued that the advertising industry's contribution to the film industry has been greater. Australia's advertising industry functioned as a nursery for the nation's film industry, identifying and training the nation's aspiring film-makers whilst providing them with access to a large audience. The globalization of both industries has similarly reinforced this relationship, ensuring that the film industry remains indebted to its commercial cousin. -- Abstract

On Hollywood : the place, the industry / Allen J. Scott Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University Press, 2005.

Source: USPlace: Princeton, New JerseyPublisher: Princeton University PressPubDate: 2005PhysDes: xiii, 200 p. : ill., maps ; 24 cmSubject: HISTORY OF CINEMA. USA Summary: "Why is the U.S. motion picture industry concentrated in Hollywood and why does it remain there in the age of globalization? Allen Scott uses the tools of economic geography to explore these questions and to provide a number of highly original answers. The conceptual roots of his analysis go back to Alfred Marshall's theory of industrial districts and pick up on modern ideas about business clusters as sites of efficient and innovative production.".
"On Hollywood builds on this work by adding major new empirical elements. By examining the history of motion picture production from the early twentieth century to the present through this analytic lens, Scott is able to show why the industry (which was initially focused on New York) had shifted the majority of its production to Southern California by 1919. He also addresses in detail the bases of Hollywood's long-standing creative energies and competitive advantages. At the same time, the book explores the steady globalization of Hollywood's market reach as well as the cultural and political dilemmas posed by this phenomenon." "On Hollywood will appeal not only to general readers with an interest in the motion picture industry, but also to economic geographers, business professionals, regional development practitioners, and cultural theorists as well."--BOOK JACKET.Notes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical references (p.

His brief career, 1943-58, helped bring about the leap from classical cinema to the modern art of Renoir, Welles, and neorealism. Founder of Cahiers du Cinema, he encouraged the future New Wave directors to confront his telltale question, What is Cinema? This colection considers another vital question, Who is Bazin? In it, thirty-three renowned film scholars- including de Baecque, Elsaesser, Gunning, and MacCabe - tackle Bazin's meaning for the 21st century. They have found in his writings unmistakable traces of Flaubert, Bergson, Breton, and Benjamin, and they have pursued this vein to the gold mine of Deleuze and Derrida. They have probed and assessed his ideas on film history, style, and technique, measuring him against today's media regime, while measuring that regime against him. They have located the precious ore of his thought crouched within striations of French postwar politics and culture,and they have revealed the unexpected effects of that thought on filmmakers and film culture on four continents. Open Bazin; you will find a treasure." -- BOOK BLURBISBN: 9780199733897Contents: -- a binocular preface -- Dudley Andrew and Herve Joubert-Laurencin -- acknowledgments -- Part one: Lineage -- A Bazinian half-century / Thomas Elsaesser -- Cinema across fault lines: Bazin and the French school of geography / Ludovic Cortade -- Evolution and event in Qu'est-ce que le cine´ma? / Tom Conley -- The reality of hallucination in Andre´ Bazin / Jean-Franc¸ois Chevrier -- Beyond the image in Benjamin and Bazin: the aura of the event / Monica Dall'Asta -- Bazin as modernist / Colin MacCage -- Film and plaster: the mould of history / Jean-Michel Frodon -- From Bazin to Deleuze: a matter of depth / Diane Arnoud -- Deconstruction avant la lettre: Jacques Derrida before Andre´ Bazin / Louis-Georges Schwartz -- Part Two: Aesthetics -- Belief in Bazin / Philip Rosen -- The world in its own image: the myth of total cinema / Tom Gunning -- The afterlife of superimposition / Daniel Morgan -- The difference of cinema in the system of the arts / Angel Dalle Vacche -- Malraux, Bazin, and the gesture of Picasso / Dudley Andrew -- Incoherent spasms and the dignity of signs: Bazin's Bresson / Noa Steimatsky -- Animals: an adventure in Bazin's ontology / Seung-hoon Jeong -- Bazin's exquisite corpses / Ivone Margulies -- Rewriting the image: two effects of the future-perfect in Andre´ Bazin / Herve´ Joubert-Laurencin -- Part Three: Historical moment -- The eloquent image: the postwar mission of film and of criticism / Philip Watts -- Bazin in combat / Antoine de Baecque -- Bazin the censor? / Marc Vernet -- Waves of crisis in French cinema / Jeremi Szaniawski -- Bazin's Chaplin myth and the corrosive lettrists / Rochelle Fack -- Radical ambitions in postwar French documentary / Steven Ungar -- Bazin on the margins of the seventh art / Grant Wiedenfeld -- Television and the auteur in the late '50s / Michael Cramer -- Andre´ Bazin's bad taste / James Tweedie -- Part Four: Worldwide influence -- Montage under suspicion: Bazin's Russo-Soviet reception / John MacKay -- Fom ripples to waves: Bazin in Eastern Europe / Alice Lovejoy -- Bazin in Brazil: a welcome visitor / Ismail Xavier -- Bazin and the politics of realism in mainland China / Cecile Lagesse -- Japanese readings: the textual thread / Kan Nozaki -- Japanese lessons: Bazin's cinematic cosmopolitanism / Ryan Cook -- notes on contributors -- index of names -- index of films -- index of terms --

Offering a compelling exploration of the Australian fifties, the book challenges the common belief that the fifties was a 'dead' era for Australian filmmaking. Reel Men engages with fourteen Australian feature films made and released between 1949 and 1962, and examines the multiple masculinities in circulation at this time. Dealing with beloved Australian films like Jedda (1955), Smiley (1956), and The Shiralee (1957), and national icons of the silver screen including Chips Rafferty, Charles 'Bud' Tingwell, and Peter Finch, Reel Men delves into our cultural past to dismantle powerful assumptions about film, the fifties, and masculinity in Australia." -- BOOK BACK COVERNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9780522872477Contents: -- acknowledgments -- introduction -- 1 the Australian film industry: dead or alive? -- 2 Australian nation, Australian men -- 3 beyond the breadwinner -- 4 assimilation stories -- 5 anything for the family? -- 6 more than mates? -- conclusion -- bibliography -- index --

CHINA ; REMAKES Summary: "The dramatic surge of Chinese visibility in Hollywood has been spurred by Sino-chic talents such as directors Ang Lee, John Woo, Wong Kar-wai, Wayne Wang, and Zhang Yimou, and stars such as Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, and Michelle Yeoh. Analyzing well-known films by Chinese stars and crew, and the influence they have had on Hollywood directors, Kenneth Chan describes how post-1997 notions of Chinese identity and cultural genres have been reinvented and repackaged by major US studios. Highlighting numerous contradictions and cultural anxieties evident in transnational Hollywood films, Chan suggests that many Chinese stars and directors have made painful compromises to get their films successfully launched into the global capitalist stream of cultural commodities. -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references, filmography and indexISBN: 9789622090569Contents: -- acknowledgments -- Introduction : remaking Chinese cinemas, Hollywood style -- Visualizing Hong Kong : Hollywood's 1997 response to the Hong Kong handover -- The global return of the Wuxia pian (Chinese sword-fighting movie) -- Enter the triads : American cinema's new racialized criminal other -- Hollywood's Sino-chic : Kung fu parody, mimicry, and play in cross-cultural citationality -- Chinese supernaturalism : mythic ethnography and the mystical other -- Coda : global cinematic technologies of ethnic (un)representation -- coda: global cinematic technologies of ethnic (un)representation -- notes -- filmography -- bibliography -- index --

Rethinking distribution : developing the parameters for a micro-analysis of the movement of motion pictures in Studies in Australasian cinema (2007) vol.1 iss.3 p.315-331
Author: Thorne, Ross PhysDes: ArticleSubject: HISTORY OF CINEMA. AUSTRALIA ; DISTRIBUTION. AUSTRALIA ; CINEMAS. AUSTRALIA ; EXHIBITION. AUSTRALIA Summary: Although there is a plethora of popular and academic literature on ‘cinema’ little, if any, explains the day-to-day management of getting films from the distributor to the cinema, from cinema to cinema, and from cinema back to the distributor. The author's discovery of a cache of historic film-hire documents, normally discarded after a couple of years, has thrown light on this aspect of micro-management of film distribution. From some 3,500 documents for the 1950s decade Ross Thorne has produced a database covering about 80 per cent of the films shown at one small-town cinema in New South Wales. Analysis of the database shows how complex cinema management was and how, up until the coming of television, the railways played a crucial role in the organization of the regional entertainment business. -- Abstract

Revolution! : the explosion of world cinema in the 60s / Peter Cowie London: Faber and Faber, 2004.
Call No: 70"196" COWAuthor: Cowie, Peter Source: UKPlace: LondonPublisher: Faber and FaberPubDate: 2004PhysDes: xviii, 286 p. : ports. ; 24 cmSubject: PRODUCERS ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. 1960's Summary: "The 11-year span from 1958 to 1969 proved one of the most transformative and dynamic periods in cinema history, and film historian Cowie interweaves historical narrative and candid interviews with European filmmakers to chart the origins of this revolutionary celluloid expressionism and its later influence on American filmmakers such as Francis Ford Coppola and John Cassavettes. Movements such as Italian neo-realism, led by Luchino Visconti, Vittorio De Sica and Francesco Rosi, and the French New Wave reflected a post-World War II landscape brutalized by fascism and fascinated with the rise of communism. The period’s benchmark films, by mostly European directors and writers, shifted the camera lens to the character of society and away from the man who lives in it. "Rewriting the grammar of film," according to Cowie, was Jean Luc Godard, who launched the French New Wave movement with his 1960 film, a bout de souffle. With this and the endeavors of François Truffaut, Claude Chabrol and others, French filmmakers introduced a more natural, autobiographical style of moviemaking that accentuated the minutia and redundancy of life. Cowie also profiles less publicized pioneers, such as Andrzej Wajda, considered the Ingmar Bergman of Eastern Europe, who helped put Polish cinema back on the map after the country’s years of foreign occupation. In Britain, directors John Schlesinger, John Boorman and Carol Reed captured the bleak factory life of the proletariat and rebelled against social norms and the European class structure under the nose of the conservative British government. A comprehensive and engrossing study, the book ably illuminates the path from the 1960s explosion of ideas to their not-so-subversive presence in today’s art-house films." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (WWW.AMAZON.COM)Notes: Includes index; Includes bibliographical referencesISBN: 0571209033Contents: -- acknowledgements -- introduction -- 1: once upon a time in the fifties -- 2: Cinephiles to Cineastes: France in transition -- 3: the realist's eye -- 4: the big new wave -- 5: burying papa's cinema -- 6: towards a fresh aesthetic -- 7: commitment comes in from the cold -- 8: aftermath: the impact on hollywood -- 10: the long goodbye -- notes -- interviews -- filmographies of directors interviewed -- index --

UK ; UNITED KINGDOM ; DOCUMENTARIES ; DOCUMENTARIES: UNITED KINGDOM ; MOVEMENTS AND STYLES IN FILM HISTORY ; HISTORY OF CINEMA ; CRITICISM ; GRIERSON, JOHN ; FLAHERTY, ROBERT ; NIGHT MAIL (UK, Harry Watt & Basil Wright, 1936) Summary: "The image of British documentary has usually been one of artistic prestige and a certain doctrinaire stuffiness. This book is an attempt to recreate the real human experience behind the myth - utilizing a kind of documentary method, intercutting the author's commentary and interview material. Elizabeth Sussex, who is a film-maker herself, talked with all the important living figures of the documentary movement about its complex conflicts, frustrations, and missed chances. Her account is tempered, critical, and knowledgeable. It not only provides a circumstantial record of the movement, but poses issues that must be confronted in any attempt to use film for social purposes. Some outstanding characters in the story - Cavalcanti and Jennings, for example - are evaluated anew, and aspects of the movement that we have known primarily through Grierson's genius for publicity receive skeptical scrutiny. Skillfully edited into a concise and dramatic chronological story, the interviews say more in their cumulative impact than any plain narrative could. The book puts all previous studies of documentary into a new perspective, and will be required reading for anyone concerned with the subject" -- BOOK JACKETNotes: Reviewed in 'The Rise and Fall of the British Documentary: Grierson and the old boys' by William Guynn (Jump Cut, no. 15, 1977, pp. 28-29)ISBN: 0520028694Donation: Donated by James SabineContents: -- preface -- acknowledgments -- interviewees in order of appearance -- 1 the movement moves in -- 2 the spell of Flaherty -- 3 innovations at the Post office -- 4 Night Mail -- 5 the movement divides -- 6 war and the peak of achievement -- 7 the post war decline -- 8 reflections on past and future -- epilogue -- index --

It recreates for us movies we've come to love: movies the way they were when, in 1934, four in particular - IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT, TWENTIETH CENTURE, THE THIN MAN, and THE GAY DIVORCEE - heralded the arrival of the golden age of Hollywood romantic ("screwball") comedy. Over the next ten years, some of Hollywood's brightest directors and stars turned out some of America's most enduring and beloved films. The screwballs - slangy, irreverent, playful, skeptical, and "powerfully, glamorously in love with love" - constitute a genre of American film unique in its combination of the innocent and the worldly, of swank and slapstick. Now critic James Harvey - writing with brilliance and humor - gives us the first truly comprehensive book about these movies and the people who made them."

SILENT PERIOD Summary: " Sanctuary Cinema provides the first history of the origins of the Christian film industry. Focusing on the early days of film during the silent era, it traces the ways in which the Church came to adopt film making as a way of conveying the Christian message to adherents. Surprisingly, rather than separating themselves from Hollywood or the American entertainment culture, early Christian film makers embraced Hollywood cinematic techniques and often populated their films with attractive actors and actresses. But they communicated their sectarian message effectively to believers, and helped to shape subsequent understandings of the Gospel message, which had historically been almost exclusively verbal, not communicated through visual media. While radio eclipsed the motion picture as the Christian communication media of choice by then1920s, the early film makers had laid the foundations for the current re-emergence of Christian film and entertainment, from Veggie Tales to The Passion of the Christ.

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 BLURBNotes: In German and EnglishISBN: 9783854768265Language: German and EnglishDonation: Senses of CinemaContents: Sexualität und Widerstand : Internationale Filmkulturen / Aylin Basaran, Julia B.

Shining in Shadows examines a wide range of Hollywood icons from a turbulent decade for the film industry and for America itself.
Perhaps reflecting our own cultural fragmentation and uncertainty, Hollywood's star personas sent mixed messages about Americans' identities and ideals. Disheveled men-children like Will Ferrell and Jack Black shared the multiplex with debonair old-Hollywood standbys like George Clooney and Morgan Freeman. Iconic roles for women ranged from Renee Zellwegers's dithering romantics to Tina Fey's neurotic professionals to Hilary Swank's vulnerable boyish characters. And in this age of reality TV and TMZ, stars like Jennifer Aniston and "Brangelina" became more famous for their real-life romantic dramas - at the same time that former tabloid fixtures like Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr. reinvented themselves as dependable leading men.
With a multigenerational, international cast of stars, this collection presents a fascinating composite portrait of Hollywood stardom today. " -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Formerly CIP

SILENT PERIOD ; WOMEN AND THE CINEMA ; GRIFFITH, DAVID WARK ; DRESSLER, MARIE ; FEMINISM AND THE CINEMA ; GENDER AND THE CINEMA ; GISH, LILLIAN ; NORMAND, MABEL ; PATHE ; SENNETT, MACK ; TURNER, FLORENCE ; VITAGRAPH Summary: Women explode out of chimneys and melt when sprayed with soda water. Feminist activists play practical jokes to lobby for voting rights, while overworked kitchen maids dismember their limbs to finish their chores on time. In early slapstick films with titles such as Saucy Sue, Mary Jane’s Mishap, Jane on Strike, and The Consequences of Feminism, comediennes exhibit the tensions between joyful laughter and gendered violence. Slapstick comedy often celebrates the exaggeration of make-believe injury. Unlike male clowns, however, these comic actresses use slapstick antics as forms of feminist protest. They spontaneously combust while doing housework, disappear and reappear when sexually assaulted, or transform into men by eating magic seeds—and their absurd metamorphoses evoke the real-life predicaments of female identity in a changing modern world.
Specters of Slapstick and Silent Film Comediennes reveals the gender politics of comedy and the comedic potentials of feminism through close consideration of hundreds of silent films. As Maggie Hennefeld argues, comedienne catastrophes provide disturbing but suggestive images for comprehending gendered social upheavals in the early twentieth century. At the same time, slapstick comediennes were crucial to the emergence of film language. Women’s flexible physicality offered filmmakers blank slates for experimenting with the visual and social potentials of cinema. Specters of Slapstick and Silent Film Comediennes poses major challenges to the foundations of our ideas about slapstick comedy and film history, showing how this combustible genre blows open age-old debates about laughter, society, and gender politics. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780231179478Donation: Senses of CinemaContents: List of Illustrations -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- Part I.

In this volume, Alan Lovell and Jim Hillier study the three main epochs of this tradition. Alan Lovell writes about the aims and theories of the seminal producer of documentaries in the 1930s, Hohn Grierson, showing how the theory became practice and with what results. His detailed and lucid account, supplemented by a full filmography, is likely to prove invaluable to students of the period. Jim Hillier takes the narative into the '40s and writes about the work of Humphrey Jennings, whose poetic imagination and gift for character transformed the reality of wartime England into contemplative statements: Fires Were Started remains one of the few genuine works of art to come from the cinema during the war. Finally, Alan Lovell describes the origins of the Free Cinema movement of the '50s, attempting to separate the individual talents (Tony Richardson, Karel Reisz, Lindsay Anderson) from the shared aesthetic and political assumptions of the time, and asks the question: How far was Free Cinema a genuine cause and how far was it a means of self-promotion for a limited group? This is not a book written to win friends among the film-making establishment, and its forthright view from the 1970s is likely to arouse passion in interested quarters." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Bibliography: p. 173-175ISBN: 0436099187; 0436099195 (pbk.)LON: 548482 548482

Between 1926 and 1933, while they were in their mid-twenties, these sassy sisters produced four feature films and a number of documentaries.
The youngest, Paulette, was one of only five women film directors in the world. Phyllis produced, art directed, and conducted publicity. And the eldest, Isabel, under her stage name Marie Lorraine, acted superbly in all the female leads. Together, the sisters transformed Australian cinema’s preoccupations with the outback and the bush – and what they mocked as ‘haystack movies’ – into a thrilling, urban modernity.
Their private lives were equally adventurous, and their suitors included a famous magician, a wealthy rubber broker, a defrocked Anglican priest, and a number of silent film stars.
In Those Dashing McDonagh Sisters, Mandy Sayer reveals the sisters’ remarkable story, from daughters of a respected Sydney surgeon with a love of theatre and the arts, to their first feature film, Those Who Love (1926), an instant hit, and their controversial final film, Two Minutes Silence (1933). Today, their most famous feature, The Cheaters, is frequently screened at international film festivals around the world, most notably in New York and London, to rapturous reviews. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781742237435

Author: Bowles, Kate PhysDes: ArticleSubject: HISTORY OF CINEMA. AUSTRALIA ; AUDIENCES. AUSTRALIA ; NATIONAL CULTURE AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA ; INDUSTRY, FILM. AUSTRALIA Summary: 'Cinema studies in Australia has conventionally focused on the national production industry, the government policies that sustain and protect it, and the films that it has produced. The role of the Australian audience in shaping the market for Australian films is less well understood, and yet assumptions about audiences and the benefit offered to them in terms of cultural learning and national identity are embedded in policy rhetoric, and are necessarily invoked in the critique of content which accompanies a textually focused approach to national cinema. This article proposes that Australian cinema audiences, whatever they are watching, play a more significant role in the Australian public sphere than Australian films...' -- Taken from abstract

It shows how Bollywood cinema has always crossed borders and boundaries: from the British Malaya, Fiji, Guyana, Trinidad, Mauritius, and East and South Africa to the former USSR, West Asia, the UK, the USA, Canada, and Australia. While looking at the meanings of nation, diaspora, home, and identity in cinematic texts and contexts, the essays also examine how localities are produced in the new global process by broadly addressing nationalism, regionalism, and transnationalism, politics, and aesthetics, as well as spectatorship and viewing contexts." -- BOOK JACKETNotes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical referencesISBN: 0198075987; 9780198075981Contents: pt. 1 Modernity, Globalization, Globality -- 1.Bollywood, Postcolonial Transformation, and Modernity / Bill Ashcroft -- 2.Cultural Flows, Travelling Shows: Bombay Talkies, Global Times / Makarand Paranjape -- 3.Mustard Fields, Exotic Tropes, and Travels through Meandering Pathways: Reframing the Yash Raj Trajectory / Madhuja Mukherjee -- pt. 2 Love Across the Border -- 4.The Lahore Film Industry: A Historical Sketch / Ishtiaq Ahmed -- 5.From Chandigarh to Vancouver: Reimagining Home and Identity in the Films of Harbhajan Mann / Nicola Mooney -- 6.Bollywood, Tollywood, Dollywood: Re-visiting Cross-border Flows and the Beat of the 1970s in the Context of Globalization / Anuradha Ghosh 7.

Twice born : Dionysos Films and the establishment of a Greek film circuit in Australia in Studies in Australasian cinema (2007) vol.1 iss.1 p.275-298
Author: Verhoeven, Deb PhysDes: ArticleSubject: HISTORY OF CINEMA. AUSTRALIA ; DISTRIBUTION. AUSTRALIA ; EXHIBITION. AUSTRALIA ; AUDIENCES. AUSTRALIA ; ETHNIC GROUPS AND THE CINEMA Summary: From the late 1940s until the late 1970s Melbourne was home to a dynamic Greek cinema circuit made up of some 30 different inner-city and suburban venues operated by a handful of vertically integrated exhibition/distribution businesses. Dionysos Films was amongst the first Greek film exhibition/distribution companies to form in Australia and from 1949 until 1956 it operated with little significant competition, establishing the parameters for a diasporic Greek film circuit that stretched across regional and metropolitan Australia and into New Zealand. This article measures the shadow cast by Dionysos Films (and its charismatic proprietor Stathis Raftopoulos) over the history of Antipodean Greek film experiences and the implications that this neglected aspect of Australian and Greek film history has for our understanding of the national cinemas in both countries. -- Abstract

When it all started : Politics and policies of the Australian film industry from the revival to the international breakthrough in Studies in Australasian cinema (2011) vol.5 iss.1 p.43-57
Author: Formica, Serena PhysDes: ArticleSubject: STATE AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. AUSTRALIA ; INDUSTRY, FILM. AUSTRALIA ; AUSTRALIAN FILM COMMISSION Summary: In the late 1960s, the Australian film industry was in crisis: audiences were turning to television programmes, in part because they offered more Australian content, and the commercially successful screen comedies of the so-called Ocker were perceived to be damaging the image of Australia abroad. In the 1970s, realizing the potential of cinema as a cultural flagship, the government invested heavily in the film industry through the establishment of the Australian Film Commission (AFC) for the purpose of promoting of high-quality productions. This article examines the main polices of the AFC, and argues that its role in transforming the film industry from a ‘cottage industry into a business’ (Murray 1990: 14) has been overestimated by Australian cinema scholars such as Dermody and Jacka, David Stratton and Tom O'Regan. The AFC's role as a government body meant that the Commission was more accountable to the government than to film industry professionals, such as producers and filmmakers. The final section of this article examines the producers' reactions to the AFC's policies, and argues that their role within the revival of the Australian film industry has been overlooked and, possibly, underestimated. -- Abstract
