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

Eisenstein, 1925) ; REALISM ON TV ; REALITY "SHOWS" ; REALITY TV ; RACIAL PROBLEMS ON TV ; RACIAL PROBLEMS AND TV ; TRUTH IN FILMS ; VIOLENCE ON TV ; WAR AND THE CINEMA ; GULF WAR ON TV ; ETHICS AND TV Summary: "Blurred Boundaries explores decisive moments where the traditional boundaries of fiction/non-fiction and truth/falsehood blur. Nichols argues that the history of social representation in film, television, and video requires an understanding of the fate of both contemporary and older work. Traditionally, film history and cultural studies sought to place films in a historical context. Nichols proposes a new goal: to examine how specific works, old and new, promote or suppress a sense of historical consciousness. Examining work from Eisenstein's Strike to the Rodney King videotape, Nichols interrelates issues of formal structure, viewer response, and historical consciousness. Simultaneously, Blurred Boundaries radically alters the interpretative frameworks offered by neoformalism and psychoanalysis: Comprehension itself becomes a social act of transformative understanding rather than an abstract mental process, while the use of psychoanalytic terms like desire, lack, or paranoia to make social points metaphorically yields to vocabulary designed expressly for historical interpretation - such as project, intentionality, and the social imaginary. An important departure from prevailing trends in many fields, Blurred Boundaries offers new directions for the study of visual culture." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 149-182) and indexISBN: 0253340640 (alk. paper); 0253209005 (paper : alk. paper)LON: 10767942

In Coming to Terms, the sequel to that classic work, Chatman assays the field of narratology over its thirty-year history and offers a challenging reassessment of its terms and concepts. Chatman discusses a wide range of literary and cinematic texts, asserting that a general narratology can help to account for their commonalities and divergences." - taken from back coverNotes: Includes bibliographical references and index.ISBN: 0801497361Contents: 1.

But is truth or reality readily available, easily acquired, or undisputed? Or do documentaries convey illusions of reality? What aesthetic means are used to build these illusions?
Crafting truth illuminates the way these films tell their stories; how they use the camera, editing, sound, and performance; what rhetorical devices they employ; and what the theoretical, practical, and ethical implications of those choices are. Complex documentary concepts are presented through easily accessible language, images, and a discussion of a wide range of films and videos to encourage new ways of thinking about and seeing nonfiction cinema.

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

Exposing the anxiety in film's relation to its rival arts, Brigitte Peucker analyzes central issues involved in generic boundary crossing as they pertain to film and situates them in a theoretical framework. The figure of the human body takes center stage in Peucker's innovative study, for it is through this figure that the conjunction of literary and painterly discourses persistently articulates itself. It is through the human body, too, that film's consciousness of itself as a hybrid text and as a "machine for simulation" makes itself deeply felt." -- taken from back coverNotes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 175-213), index, and notes.ISBN: 978691002811Donation: Adrian MilesContents: Introduction: Bodies and Boundaries -- Movement, Fragmentation, and the Uncanny.

The Musicality of Narrative Film is the first book to offer an in-depth examination of the film/music analogy through comparative analysis of both arts' common denominators: time, rhythm and movement. Drawing on a number of examples from contemporary art-house and mainstream cinema, Kulezic-Wilson argues that film's musical potential can be realized through various cinematic devices, with or without music. The book's final section contains detailed case studies of Darren Aronofsky's p, Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man and Joe Wright's Anna Karenina, which demonstrate how various factors contribute to achieving the effect of musicality in a large-scale form and how contrasting approaches to film time, rhythm and movement can create very different examples of film musicality. -- publisher's web site.ISBN: 9781137489982Contents: List of Figures

Extending Martha Nussbaum, and Wayne Booth's work on moral philosophy and literature to consider cinema, Jane Stadler shows that film specatatorship can be understood as a model for ethical attention that engages the audience in an intersubjective experience, involving an affective relationship with characters and their values. Building on Vivian Sobchack's The Address of the Eye and Carnal Thoughts, Stadler uses a phenomenological approach to analyze ethical dimensions of film extending beyond narrative content, arguing that the camera describes experience and views screen characters with an evaluative form of perception: an ethical gaze in which spectators participate. Films discussed include Dead Man Walking, Lost Highway, Batman Begins, Nil By Mouth, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Subjective realist cinema : from expressionism to inception / Matthew Campora New York: Berghahn Books, 2014.
Call No: 632.2 CAMAuthor: Campora, Matthew Source: USPlace: New YorkPublisher: Berghahn BooksPubDate: 2014PhysDes: viii, 150 pages ; 24 cm.Subject: NARRATIVE IN FILMS ; EXPRESSIONISM ; SURREALISM AND THE CINEMA ; MULHOLLAND DRIVE (US, David Lynch, 2001) ; MEMENTO (US, Christopher Nolan, 2000) ; ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND (US, Michael Gondry, 2004) Summary: Subjective Realist Cinema looks at the fragmented narratives and multiple realities of a wide range of films that depict subjective experience and employ "subjective realist" narration, including recent examples such as Mulholland Drive, Memento, and Eternal sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The author proposes that an understanding of the narrative structures of these films, particularly their use of mixed and multiple realities, enhances viewers' enjoyment and comprehension of such films, and that such comprehension offers a key to understanding contemporary filmmaking. -- [Extract taken from the back of book]Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 143-146) and indexISBN: 9781782382782Contents: Machine generated contents note: Three Periods of Narrative Experimentation -- Multiform Narratives -- Subjective Realism -- ch. 1 Complex Narratives -- The New Hollywood and the Smart Film -- New Hollywood Narration -- Fragmented Narratives -- Multi-strand Narratives -- Multiform Narratives -- Brazil -- Puzzle Films -- ch. 2 Two Trajectories of the Cinema of Attractions -- The Narrative Trajectory: Realism and Spectacle -- The Avant-Garde Trajectory: Realism and Defamiliarization -- ch. 3 Subjective Realism and Multiform Narratives -- Subjective Realism -- Vertigo -- The Fantastic -- Wild Strawberries -- ch. 4 Mulholland Drive -- Expressionism and the Uncanny in Mulholland Drive -- Three Views -- As Surrealist or Trance Film -- As Fragmented, Subjective Realist Film -- As Supernatural Film -- It Is All an Illusion -- ch. 5 Memento -- The Four Strands -- Unreliable Narration -- Disrupted Expectations -- Subjective Realism -- ch. 6 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind --
