book		Cinematography in the Weimar Republic : Lola Lola, dirty singles, and the men who shot them / Paul Matthew St. Pierre London: Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, Call No: 23(430) Author: St. Pierre, Paul Matthew Place: London Publisher: Fairleigh Dickinson University Press PhysDes: 274 p. ; illus. ; 24 cm Series: Fairleigh Dickinson University Press series in communication studies Subject: CINEMATOGRAPHY; GERMANY; EXPRESSIONISM; LUBITSCH, ERNST; WAGNER, FRITZ ARNO; MURNAU, FRIEDRICH WILHELM; LANG, FRITZ; PABST, GEORG WILHELM; RITTAU, GUNTHER; DREYER, CARL TH. Summary: In film history, director-cinematographer collaborations were on a labor spectrum, with the model of the contracted camera operator in the silent era and that of the cinematographer in the sound era. But in Weimar era German filmmaking, 1919-33, a short period of intense artistic activity and political and economic instability, these models existed side by side due to the emergence of camera operators as independent visual artists and collaborators with directors. Berlin in the 1920s was the chief site of the interdisciplinary avant-garde of the Modernist movement in the visual, literary, architectural, design, typographical, sartorial, and performance arts in Europe. The Weimar Revolution that arose in the aftermath of the November 1918 Armistice and that established the Weimar Republic informed and agitated all of the art movements, such as Expressionism, Dada, the Bauhaus, Minimalism, Objectivism, Verism, and Neue Sachlichkeit (“New Objectivity”). Among the avant-garde forms of these new stylistically and culturally negotiated arts, the cinema was foremost and since its inception had been a radical experimental practice in new visual technologies that proved instrumental in changing how human beings perceived movement, structure, perspective, light exposure, temporal duration, continuity, spatial orientation, human postural, facial, vocal, and gestural displays, and their own spectatorship, as well as conventions of storytelling like narrative, setting, theme, character, and structure. Whereas most of the arts mobilized into schools, movements, institutions, and other structures, cinema, a collaborative art, tended to organize around its ensembles of practitioners. Historically, the silent film era, 1895-1927, is associated with auteurs, the precursors of François Truffaut and other filmmakers in the 1960s: actuality filmmakers and pioneers like R. W. Paul and Fred and Joe Evans in England, Auguste and Luis Lumière and Georges Méliès in France, and Charles Chaplin and Buster Keaton in America, who, by managing all the compositional, executional, and editorial facets of film production—scripting, directing, acting, photographing, set, costume, and lighting design, editing, and marketing—imposed their personal vision or authorship on the film. The dichotomy of the auteur and the production ensemble established a production hierarchy in most filmmaking. In formative German silent film, however, this hierarchy was less rank or class driven, because collaborative partnerships took precedence over single authorship. Whereas in silent film production in most countries the terms filmmaker and director were synonymous, in German silent film the plural term filmemacherin connoted both directors and cinematographers, along with the rest of the filmmaking crew. Thus, German silent filmmakers’ principle contribution to the new medium and art of film was less the representational iconographies of Expressionist, New Objective, and Naturalist styles than the executional practice of co-authorship and co-production, in distinctive cinematographer-director partnerships such as those of cinematographer Theodor Sparkuhl and director Ernst Lubitsch; Fritz Arno Wagner with F. W. Murnau, Fritz Lang, and G. W. Pabst; Rudolf Maté with Carl Theodor Dreyer; Guido Seeber with Lang and Pabst; and Carl Hoffmann with Lang and Murnau. -- jacket blurb ISBN: 9781611479447 More info

Can a director, as the conductor of an orchestra of writers, actors, cameramen and technicians, stamp his personal vision on the films he makes? This and related questions are raised by this collection of statements made by famous directors about their art. Harry Geguld’s anthology of “patristic writings” runs from the days (in 1895) when Louis Lumiere filmed a train entering a station, by way of Charlie Chaplin’s knockabout ad-libbing, to the sophisticated ruminations of Antonioni and Bergman and the ideas behind the nouvelle vague. Here is D.W. Griffith’s scouting the very idea of talking pictures; Mack Sennett on custard pies; Eisenstein on three-dimensional film; Cocteau on the raw materials of illusion; Kurosawa on filming in Japan; Hitchcock on the macabre; and some other twenty leading directors on aspects of their work. In his introduction, Harry Geguld assesses the unique characteristics of motion pictures and comments refreshingly on the eternal controversy of “book into film”.

book		Fritz Lang : the nature of the beast / Patrick McGilligan New York, N.Y.: Faber Faber, 1997. Call No: 81LAN MCG Author: McGilligan, Patrick Source: US/UK Place: New York, N.Y. Publisher: Faber Faber PubDate: 1997 PhysDes: 548 p. : ports ; 24 cm Subject: LANG, FRITZ Summary: "The name of Fritz Lang - the visionary director of Metropolis, M, Fury, The Big Heat, and thirty other unforgettable motion pictures - is hallowed the world over. But what lurks behind his greatest legends, and his genius as a filmmaker? Was he a closet Nazi in Germany, and later, a virtual Communist in America? Did he really refuse an offer from Hitler to become the Third Reich's "Fuhrer of film" before he fled to the United States in the early 1930s, or was this oft-repeated anecdote the embroidered invention of an ingenious storyteller? Was Lang a sensitive and compassionate artist, as well as a lover of famous women (among them his Berlin compatriot Marlene Dietrich)? Or was he a sado-masochistic beast whose torturous on-set behavior was mirrored, off the job, in a sordid love life crowded with prostitutes and mistresses? Did Fritz Lang, preoccupied with murder in his work, in fact kill his own first wife - who died mysteriously in his presence after catching him in the arms of the Nazi-leaning screenwriter who became his second wife? Patrick McGilligan spent four years in Europe and America, interviewing Lang's dying contemporaries, researching government and film archives, and investigating the life story of Fritz Lang. His definitive biography - the only such book on Lang, who encouraged publicity but discouraged the truth - reconstructs the fascinating, flawed human being behind the monster with the monocle." -- LIBRARIES AUSTRALIA Notes: Includes index, notes and sources, and filmography data ISBN: 0571193757 Contents: -- acknowledgments; prologue: 1976; Vienna; Chapter 1: 1890-1911; Chapter 2: 1911-1918; Berlin; Chapter 3: 1918-1921; Chapter 4: 1921-1922; Chapter 5: 1923-1924; Chapter 6: 1925-1927; Chapter 7: 1928-1929; Chapter 8: 1930-1931; Chapter 9: 1932-1933; Paris; Chapter 10: 1933-1934; Hollywood; Chapter 11: 1934-1936; Chapter 12: 1936-1938; Chapter 13: 1939-1941; Chapter 14: 1941-1945; Chapter 15: 1945-1946; Chapter 16: 1946-1947; Chapter 17: 1948-1952; Chapter 18: 1952-1953; Chapter 19: 1953-1956; Chapter 20: 1957-1964; Chapter 21: 1965-1976; filmography; notes and sources; index -- More info

book		Fritz Lang : the image and the look / edited by Stephen Jenkins London: bfi Publishing, 1981. Call No: 79 LAN JEN Author: Jenkins, Stephen Source: UK Place: London Publisher: bfi Publishing PubDate: 1981 PhysDes: 173 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm Subject: LANG, FRITZ Summary: "Fritz Lang, director of Metropolis and Dr. Mabuse, Fury, The Blue Gardenia and The Big Heat, has traditionally been characterised as a film-maker preoccupied with fate, an essential pessimist whose films represent 'a bleak view of the universe where man grapples with his personal destiny and loses'. This book aims to change that view, challenging the notion of Lang as a chronicler of twentieth-century paranoia and tracing in his films not a single, unchanging vision of the world but a multiplicity of narrative and formal perspectives. Key essays on Lang are included, together with a long study of the role and status of women in his films, and the book concludes with an extensively annotateed filmography which provides the most complete record yet published of this fascinating director's long career, from Germany in the 1920s to the long interlude in Hollywood and the final return to Germany." - taken from back cover Notes: Includes bibliographical references ISBN: 0851701094 Contents: Introduction - Lang and Auterism: Fritz Lang's Trajectory -- The Imperious Dialectic of Fritz Lang -- On Fritz Lang -- Lang: Fear and Desire -- Two Fictions Concerning Hate -- Conclusion -- Fritz Lang: A Documentary Record More info
