Today she is best known as the innovative “mother” of the French New Wave film movement of the 1950s and '60s and for her multimedia art exhibitions. Varying her use of different media, she is a figure who defies easy categorization. In this extensively researched book, Rebecca J. DeRoo demonstrates how Varda draws upon the histories of art, photography, and film to complicate the overt narratives in her works and to advance contemporary cultural politics. Based on interviews with Varda and unparalleled access to Varda's archives, this interdisciplinary study constructs new frameworks for understanding one of the most versatile talents in twentieth and twenty-first century culture.

book		Cinema and modernity / John Orr Cambridge, UK: Polity Press, 1993. Call No: 62 ORR Author: Orr, John Source: UK Place: Cambridge, UK Publisher: Polity Press PubDate: 1993 PhysDes: ix, 224 pages, [8] pages of plates : illustrations ; 24 cm Subject: THEORY; NOUVELLE VAGUE; FILM NOIR; AUTOMOBILES IN FILMS Summary: "This book discusses the complex relation between modernity and cinema drawing particularly upon the European and American cinema during the second half of the twentieth century. In this period, the author argues, the terms 'modernist' and 'postmodern' are both inappropriate to the cinema's critical vision of modernity. Instead there emerges a neo-modern movement which subverts American melodrama and supplants Italian neo-realism, yet also echoes the earlier modernisms of Dreyer, Eisenstein, Bunuel and Fritz Lang." - taken from back cover.

Godard's own persona - cultural hero, fierce loner, shrewd businessman - projects similarly shifting images. In the modern canon, he is a figure as mysterious as he is indispensible. Now, acclaimed critic Richard Brody offers the fullest picture yet of Godard's life and work, demsytifying the elusive filmmaker through hundreds of interviews with friends, relatives, and collaborators. He vividly depicts Godard's wealthy family, his changeable and often disturbing politics, his tumultuous dealings with fellow filmmakers, and his troubled relations with women. Tracing an arc from the director's early writing, through his popular success with Breathless and Contempt, to the grand vision of his later years, Everything Is Cinema shows decisively that Godard's films have left their mark on all screens, everywhere. -- BOOK BLURB Notes: "NBCC Award.

book		Film manifestos and global cinema cultures : a critical anthology / [edited by] Scott MacKenzie Berkeley London: University of California Press, 2014. Call No: 62 FIL Author: MacKenzie, Scott (ed.) Source: US Place: Berkeley London Publisher: University of California Press PubDate: 2014 PhysDes: xxi, 651 p. ; 26 cm Subject: AVANT-GARDE FILMS; CONSTRUCTIVISM; SURREALISM AND THE CINEMA; STRUCTURALISM; NOUVELLE VAGUE; IMPERIALISM AND THE CINEMA; GENDER AND THE CINEMA; FEMINISM AND THE CINEMA; PORNOGRAPHY AND THE CINEMA; DOCUMENTARY FILMS; DOCUMENTARIES; PHILOSOPHY AND THE CINEMA; WORLD CINEMA; LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES; AESTHETICS; HOLLYWOOD; ARCHIVES & INSTITUTES, FILM Summary: Film Manifestoes and Global Cinema Cultures is the first book to collect manifestoes from the global history of cinema, providing the first historical and theoretical account of the role played by film manifestos in filmmaking and film culture. Focussing equally on political and aesthetic manifestoes, Scott MacKenzie uncovers a neglected, yet nevertheless central history of the cinema, exploring a series of documents that postulate ways in which to re-imagine the cinema and, in the process, re-imagine the world. This volume collects the major European “waves” and figures (Eisenstein, Truffaut, Bergman, Free Cinema, Oberhausen, Dogme ‘95); Latin American Third Cinemas (Birri, Sanjinés, Espinosa, Solanas); radical art and the avant-garde (Buñuel, Brakhage, Deren, Mekas, Ono, Sanborn); and world cinemas (Iimura, Makhmalbaf, Sembene, Sen). It also contains previously untranslated manifestos co-written by figures including Bollaín, Debord, Hermosillo, Isou, Kieslowski, Painlevé, Straub, and many others. Thematic sections address documentary cinema, aesthetics, feminist and queer film cultures, pornography, film archives, Hollywood, and film and digital media. Also included are texts traditionally left out of the film manifestos canon, such as the Motion Picture Production Code and Pius XI's Vigilanti Cura, which nevertheless played a central role in film culture. -- extract taken from the back of the book Notes: Includes index -- Includes bibliographical references and index.

With a career ranging from France's revolutionary New Wave movement in the early 1960s, through a period of drastic political experimentation in the late 1960s and 1970s, to a current introspective period in which he explores issues of spirituality, sexuality, and the aesthetics of sound, image, and montage, Godard's work defies easy categorization. In this study, David Sterritt offers an introductory overview of Godard's work as a filmmaker, critic, and video artist. He then traces Godard's visionary ideas through six of his key films: Breathless, My Life to Live, Weekend, Numero deux, Hail Mary, and Nouvelle Vague. Also included is a concise analysis of his work in video, television, and mixed-media formats. Linking works by Godard to key social and cultural developments, The Films of Jean-Luc Godard explains their importance in modernist and postmodernist art of the last half century.

Call No: 621 INC Source: UK/US Place: Manchester, UK ; New York Publisher: Manchester University Press PubDate: 2008 PhysDes: viii, 157 p. ; 21 cm Subject: NOUVELLE VAGUE; AUTEUR THEORY; EUROPEAN CINEMA; ASSAYAS, OLIVIER; AUDIARD, JACQUES; DARDENNE, JEAN-PIERRE & LUC; HANEKE, MICHAEL; OZON, FRANCOIS Summary: "This new appraisal of the continuing relevence of the auteur to filmmmaking in French will reinvigorate debate about the historic place of auteurism in both French and European cinema. Auteurism - the ideea that a director of a film is its source of meaning and should retain creative control over the finished product - has been one of film studies' most important paradigms ever since the French 'nouvelle vague' of the late 1950s, and the adoption of the term auteur by Andrew Sarris. Through the work of five important contemporary directors working in the French language, this book explores the ways in which the meaning of auteur has changed over this half-century. Its five dense and wide-ranging introductory essays to the films of Olivier Assayas, Jacques Audiard, the Dardenne brothers, Michael Haneke and Francois Ozon combine French philosophical and sociological approaches with methodologies from the Anglo-American fields of gender studies, queer theory and postmodernism. This volume will be of interest to researchers working in French and European cinema and to students of film studies, European cinema, and French and Francophone studies, as well as to film enthusiasts."-BOOK BLURB Notes: includes bibliographical references includes filmography; includes index ISBN: 9780719086410 Contents: Olivier Assayas and the cinemna of catastrophe / Paul Sutton -- Jacques Audiard : contesting filiations / Julia Dobson -- Ethics in the ruin of politics : the Dardenne brothers / Martin O'Shaughnessy -- Close encounters with distant suffering : Michael Haneke's disarming visions / Libby Saxton -- Franc¸ois Ozon's cinema of desire / Kate Ince More info

The new edition, published to mark the 50th anniversary of the New Wave, features all the articles from the first edition, including Bazin's seminal 'La Politique des Auteurs' and a brand new translation of Truffaut's 'Une certaine tendance du cinema francais' (A Certain Tendency in French Cinema). In addition, the collection includes articles by and interviews with Bazin, Godard, Chabrol and others that helped to shape contemporary debates about the history, aesthetics and practice of cinema, as well as a case study offering three different perspectives on Godard's A bout de souffle. The new edition features a preface by Peter Graham alongside his preface to the 1968 edition, and an introduction by Ginette Vincendeau that contextualises the Nouvelle Vague in the light of recent developments in film theory and history and its influence on subsequent French film-making.

Source: US Place: Jackson Publisher: University of Mississippi PubDate: c1998 PhysDes: xxxiii, 203 p. : ill. ; 24 cm Series: Conversations with filmmakers series Subject: NOUVELLE VAGUE; GODARD, JEAN-LUC; VIVRE SAVIE (FR, Jean-Luc Godard, 1962) Summary: " "I am trying to change the world," filmmaker Jean-luc Godard told critic Gene Youngblood some thirty years ago. He has pursued his revolution in works ranging from the explosive Breathless to the eloquent Contempt to the controversial Hail Mary and the postmodern Histoire(s) du cinema, shaking up conventional formulas with boldly innovative approaches to every aspect of cinema and video - including film criticism via provocative essays in Cahiers du Cinema and interviews dating to the early years of his career. This book presents a varied selection of his conversations with critics, scholars, and journalists, spanning the 1960s to the 1990s and illuminating key facets of his life, work and ideas. Topics include the seductiveness of cinema ("Films are the only things by which to look inside of people, and that's why people are so fond of movies and why they'll never die"); film as a blend of truth and beauty (" I mix images and sounds like a scientist, I hope. The mystery of the scientific is the same as the mystery of the artist. So is the misey"); and the personal realities of aging ("Maybe it's that when you get old, in one way you feel younger and younger but still being old - young oldness, if I may say so, which is very...comforting"). As challenging and evocative as they are quirky and unpredictable, all these interviews cast light on Godard's lifelong position as a proudly unclassifiable thinker who feels, as he said in 1980, that "a language is obviously made to cross borders. I'm someone whose real country is language, and whose territory is movies" -- BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes index; Filmography: p.
