Each volume can be read on its own as dealing with a separate aspect of cinema: classical and modern, pre- and post-war, movement and time.
In this second volume Deleuze is concerned with the representation of time in film and with the cinematic treatment of memory, thought and speech. Drawing on the philosophy of Henri Bergson, Deleuze provides a theoretical framework within which he analyses and classifies the time-image and traces the history of its emergence, focusing on the cinema of post-war neo-realism." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: (originally in French 'Cinema 2, L'Image-Temps,' 1985); Preface to the English edition; Translators intoductoin; Notes; Glossary; IndexISBN: 0485120704Language: EnglishDonation: Adrian MilesContents: 1.

Documentary display : re-viewing nonfiction film and videos / Keith Beattie London: Wallflower, 2008.

A. ; VERTOV, DZIGA ; VIGO, JEAN ; DONT LOOK BACK (US, D.A. Pennebaker, 1967) Summary: "Not all documentary films and videos are sober depictions of the real world. Documentary representations can present expressive, entertaining and spectacular images. This book examines such innovative approaches as they occur within the process of 'documentary display' - a practice which emphasises the visual attractions of documentary representation. Works of documentary display explore modes of exhibitionistic 'showing' in which sensation is frequently the vehicle of cognition and knowledge. Such a display is analysed within the popular and prominent forms of found-footage film, 'rockumentary', the city film, nonfiction surf film and video, and certain views of natural science topics. This accessible and informed study - with its focus on entertaining, popular, spectacular and sensational froms of nonfiction representation - makes an important contribution to theoretical analyses of documentary film and video."--BOOK JACKETNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 155-181) and index.ISBN: 9781905674725 (pbk)Contents: Introduction -- 1.

Summary: The critical writings of Adrian Stokes, based on the psychoanalyst Melanie Klein's innovative theories, were enormously influential on visual art and culture during his lifetime, but have rarely been applied to film. In this first major study of Stokes, his ideas and those of the philosopher Richard Wolheim are considered in relation to two central issues in current film theory - film as representation and as expression. Stokes fundamental distinction between carving and modelling which reflects Klein's own division in mental life between paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions is explored in relation to the traditional division in film theory between montage and realism. At the core of this study is the role of the Kleinian notion of phantasy in understanding film as an art form. To this end, the carving and modelling modes are applied to the films of Ford, Hitchcock, Rossellini, Antonioni, Dreyer, Eisenstein and American B movies.

Chanan's thematic approach takes in topics such as the documentary before documentary, how documentary film language works, the veracity of the image, the construction of the soundtrack, the migration of documentary to television, political documentary, censorship, first-person film making, and the relation of the archives to history and memory. Drawing on examples of documentary cinema in Japan, Iran, and Latin America as well as Europe and the USA, Chanan argues that documentary provides a crucial public space in which ideas are debated, opinion is formed and those in authority are held to account.

Summary: "Superbly translated from the definitive Russian texts, and copiously annotated, Volume 1 documents the complex course of Eisenstein's writings during the revolutionary years prior to the establishment of Socialist Realism as orthodox Soviet aesthetic doctrine. This was also the period of Eisenstein's great silent masterpieces, The Strike, The Battleship Potemkin, October and The General Line, and of his controversial sojourns in Hollywood and Mexico. The writings in this first volume give a picture of Eisenstein the committed socialist artist, passionately engaged in the debates over the art forms of the future, but also of Eisenstein the humorist and Eisenstein the profoundly innovative aesthetic thinker." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Translated from the RussianISBN: 9781848853553Contents: -- general editor's preface -- introduction -- translator's note -- abbreviations -- 1922 -- 1: Sergei Yutkevich and Eisenstein: The Eighth art.

Summary: "The name of Sergei Eisenstein has long been synonymous with the idea of montage, as exemplified in his silent classics such as The Strike (1925), The Battleship Potemkin (1925), and October (1927). In the 1930s his style changed, partly to accomodate the arrival of sound, and his ideas on audio-visual counterpoint developed. Between 1937 and 1940 he elaborated his ideas on montage in a series of essays, most of which remained unpublished until after his death and which are published in English for the first time inTowards a Theory of Montage. Collectively these essays present the essence of Eisenstein's thinking on cinema and aesthetics more generaaly and reveal him as one of the most significant philosophers of art of the twentieth century." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Translated from RussianISBN: 9781848853560Contents: -- general editor's preface -- Michael Glenny: an appreciation -- note on sources -- introduction: Geoffrey Nowell-Smith -- on the story of 'Montage 1937' -- foreword -- 1: draft of 'introduction' -- part one: montage in single set-up cinema -- 2: montage 1937 -- 3: montage and architecture -- 4: Yermolova -- part two: montage in multiple set-up cinema -- 5: laocoon -- 6: Pushkin the Montageur: 'The battle against the pechenegs' and 'poltava' The iron cannon-balls -- part three: sound-film montage -- 7: [rhythm] -- 8: 'The girl like a ray of light' -- 9:on colour -- 10: unity in image -- 11: Tolstoy's 'Anna Karenina' - the races -- 12: montage 1938 -- 13: Vertical montage -- notes -- index --
