In a reading of the formal aspects in film imagery in contemporary British films spanning social realist, melodrama and horror genres, Hockenhull demonstrates how the spiritual aspects of landscape and nature mobilise a Neo-Romantic effect. She traces the influence of Romanticism and notions of the Sublime in key British films including 'Sweet Sixteen', 'The Queen', 'Ratcatcher', 'Eden Lake', '28 Days Later', 'My Summer of Love' and 'The Last Great Wilderness'. Operating at the intersection between film theory, art theory and aesthetics, this is a vital contribution which enables a fuller, multidimensional understanding of cinematic experience." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references and index.ISBN: 9781848859012Donation: donated by Senses of Cinema, 2014

The Boston and Cambridge area is notable for nurturing these approaches to documentary film via institutions such as the MIT Film Section and the Film Study Center, the Carpenter Center and the Visual and Environmental Studies Department at Harvard. Scott MacDonald uses pragmatism's focus on empirical experience as a basis for measuring the groundbreaking achievements of such influential filmmakers as John Marshall, Robert Gardner, Timothy Asch, Ed Pincus, Miriam Weinstein, Alfred Guzzetti, Ross McElwee, Robb Moss, Nina Davenport, Steve Ascher and Jeanne Jordan, Michel Negroponte, John Gianvito, Alexander Olch, Amie Siegel, Ilisa Barbash, and Lucien Castaing-Taylor. By exploring the cinematic, personal, and professional relationships between these accomplished filmmakers, MacDonald shows how a pioneering, engaged, and uniquely cosmopolitan approach to documentary developed over the past half century.

The dimensions of difference : space, time and bodies in women's cinema and continental philosophy / Caroline Godart London ; New York: Rowman & Littlefield International,
Call No: 626[396] GODAuthor: Godart, Caroline Edition: 2016Place: London ; New YorkPublisher: Rowman & Littlefield InternationalPhysDes: xv, 138 pagesSubject: PIANO, THE (AT, Jane Campion, 1993) ; BEAU TRAVAIL [TROUBLE EVERY DAY] (FR/GG/JA, Claire Denis, 1999) ; HOLY GIRL, THE [NINA SANTA, LA] (AG/IT/NE/SP, Lucrecia Martel, 2004) Summary: The Dimensions of Difference departs from traditional takes on feminist film criticism, and in particular from the psychoanalytical focus on the gaze, to examine the question of sexual difference through three axes: space, time, and bodies. These are some of the most fundamental elements of cinema, which deploys the bodies of actors through space and time, for instance, through camerawork and editing.
While this approach may not at first sight seem to be related to questions of gender and sexuality, Caroline Godart demonstrates its relevance to feminist film studies by weaving together careful analyses of space, time, and bodies in women's cinema with close readings of the same concepts in the works of three philosophers: Luce Irigaray, Henri Bergson, and Gilles Deleuze. The book investigates how certain films generate a cinematic experience of sexual difference, and frames this analysis within a careful philosophical inquiry into the notion of alterity itself. These tools provide fruitful resources for feminist inquiry, giving insights into sexual difference as it operates within film aesthetics and, beyond cinema, in the world at large. The result is a compelling reflection on feminism, film form, and continental philosophy. -- publisher's web siteNotes: Signed and dedicated on the first pageISBN: 9781783486557Contents: Introduction -- 1.

From Aboriginal Australia to German autumn : on the West German reception of thirteen films from Black Australia in Studies in Australasian cinema (2009) vol.3 iss.3 p.251-263

AUSTRALIA ; URAN GEHOERT DER REGENBOGENSCHLANGE, DAS (GW, Nina Gladitz, 1978) ; WO DIE GRUNEN AMEISEN TRAUMEN (GW, Werner Herzog, 1984) ; BIS ANS ENDE DER WELT (GG/FR/AT, Wim Wenders, 1991) Summary: This article examines some aspects of the West German reception of a series of Australian films about Aborigines including Peter Weir's The Last Wave (1977), Phillip Noyce's Backroads (1977) and Michael Edols' Lalai and Floating (1973 and 1975) which were shown in Germany and elsewhere in Europe in 1978 and 1979. It explains how these films came to be shown in Europe, how and why they caught the imagination of German reviewers and film-makers at the time, and how they themselves contributed to the begetting of several German films on Aboriginal themes including Nina Gladitz's documentary Das Uran gehrt der Regenbogenschlange (The Uranium Belongs to the Rainbow Serpent) (1979), Werner Herzog's Where the Green Ants Dream (1984) and Wim Wenders' Until the End of the World (1991).
