In this major examination of modern American cinema, one of our leading film critics ponders this question - and produces a wide-screen picture of the answer. Here in detail are the careers and creative milestones of the new "Whiz Kids" of hollywood - such glittering names as Scorsese, De Palma, Lucas, Spielberg, Altman, Mazursky, and Coppola. Here are the new masters of comedy - Neil Simon, Mel Brooks, Woody Allen. Here are the blockbusters that made fiscal history- Jaws, The Exorcist, the Godfather, Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Nashville, Superman, and all the others. Here, too, are the masterpieces that passed unnoticed, and the disasters that Hollywood would like to forget. Here are the new writers turning out novelizations of screenplays and screenplays of novels, and the current and rising stars who collectively represent America's vision of glamour and aristocracy. Above all, here is a bottom-line report on the new economics that have turned Hollywood from an old-fashioned industry centered on making movies into a "leisure-time" business obsessed with making money for coporate owners. Add to this a complete rundown of the top critics' choice for the best films of the decade, and a comprehensive "Who's Who" in current American filmmaking, and you have American Film Now- the definitve guide to the film industry as it is today and as it will be tomorrow."

The only natural colour process to be a commercial success before 1920 was Kinemacolor, a process invented by an Englishman, George A Smith, and exploited by an American, Charles Urban. This booklet tells the story of how Kinemacolor was developed, given its first public showing in London in 1909 and then shown in many countries in the world. Although it had its limitations, the process was successful for many years before the First World War. Some of the motion picture colour processes which superseded Kinemacolor are described. The work is based on a collection of apparatus, manuscripts, and ephemera given to the Science Museum by Charles Urban." - BOOK BLURBNotes: Reprint.

Last features : East German cinema's lost generation Rochester, N.Y.: Camden House, 2014.
Call No: 71(430) LASAuthor: Steingrover, Reinhild Place: Rochester, N.Y.Publisher: Camden HousePubDate: 2014PhysDes: xi, 259 pages : illustrations ; 24 cmSeries: Screen cultures: German film and the visualSubject: LOST FILMS ; GERMANY ; MOTION PICTURES - HISTORY - GERMANY ; GERMAN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC Summary: "Last Features is the story of forgotten films made during the time of German unification. With leftover GDR funds and under chaotic conditions, a group of young East German filmmakers produced around thirty stylistically diverse films. Most of these films were lost in the political upheaval of the Wende, disappearing until the 2009 Wendeflicks festival in Los Angeles brought them back for an international audience. Now available on DVD, these films provide unique insights into the generational struggle in the DEFA studio, East German youth culture in the 1970s, women directors at DEFA, the relationship between the artist and the state, and the protests of 1989. Last Features focuses in particular on the production group "DaDaeR," the creation of which in 1989 fulfilled a long-standing request by the last generation of DEFA directors for freer production conditions. Drawing on archival research and interviews with the directors, writers, and editors of the films in question, each chapter examines specific films from the last year of DEFA, contextualizing the analysis of these "last features" with a comprehensive discussion of the directors' overall ouevres, the historical changes in the studio and the country, and the lasting importance of these films today." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 243-251) and index -- Includes filmography (pages (pages 239-241)ISBN: 9781571135551Donation: donated by Senses of Cinema, 2014Contents: Introduction -- On fools and clowns or refusal as engagement in two final DEFA films: Egon Gunther's Stein and Jorg Foth's Letztes aus der DaDaeR -- "Film must fidget": DEFA's untimely poets -- Absurd endgames: Peter Welz's Banale tage -- Flight into reality: the cinema of Helke Misselwitz -- The extraordinary in the ordinary: Andreas Voigt's Leipzig pentalogy, 1986-96 -- Asynchronicity in DEFA's last feature: architects, goats, and Godot --
