Behind a velvet light trap : a filmmaker's journey from Cinesound to Cannes / Anthony Buckley Prahran, Vic.: Hardie Grant, 2009.

AUSTRALIA ; SENTIMENTAL BLOKE, THE (AT, Raymond Longford, 1919) ; NIGHT THE PROWLER, THE (AT, Jim Sharman, 1978) Summary: Almost from the inception of movies, the Buckley family were involved, so it was natural for the young Tony Buckley to get a job at a film laboratory, and move into film editing. Despite being warned by a veteran of film, "There's no future in it", Buckley began a career that was to involve a cast of thousands including Australian film pioneers, Raymond Longford and Ken G. Hall, Australian and international stars, and the pick of the Australian film and television industry. As an acclaimed editor, then producer, Tony Buckley's films have attracted numerous accolades and awards. In Behind a Velvet Light Trap, Buckley chronicles the frequent disasters on the set and the antics of actors and film crew with wry humour and a firm sense of professionalism. It is an insider's view of Australian movies and television where we get to meet some of the vivid personalities including Rudolf Nureyev, Michael Powell, Patrick White, James Mason, Ruth Park, Leo McKern and Joan Sutherland. --BOOK JACKETISBN: 9781740667906Contents: -- Preface -- Acknowledgement -- PART ONE -- 1 -- Saturdays At The Sesqui -- 2 --The Sentimental Bloke - Meeting Raymond Longford -- 3 -- Discovering 'The Hidden Power' -- 4 -- The Voice Of Australia -- 5 -- 'There's No Future In It, Son!' -- 6 -- Seven Miles From Sydney And 10,000 Miles From Care -- 7 -- Letters Home: 189 Cromwell Road - 'Hurry, My Milliner Is Waiting!' -- 8 -- Five For Europe: A Telegram From Home -- 9 -- Another Cinesound Excusive! -- 10 -- Forgotten Cinema And The Australian Renaissance -- 11-- Michael Powell and S.Y.M -- 12 -- Home to Avening -- 13 -- 'The Locomotive that Drives Everything Else -- 14 -- Mercer Clips and Hollywood -- 15 -- Le Reveil Dans La Terreur - Wake in Fright -- 16 -- Ballet in the Bedroom -- 17 -- Insular Fairyland - anyone for Croquet? -- 18 -- ...'You wanna make a film about a woman???!!' -- 19 -- My Sons, My Horses - The Anatomy of a Motion Picture -- 20 -- 'This Bizarre Work' - The Night of the Prowler -- 21 -- The very strange case of the Unknown Industrial Prisoner -- 22 -- Not In The Public Interest - the Juanita Factor -- 23 -- Flight Ten From Honolulu - A complete Change Of Direction -- 24 -- A Landmark Australian Film -- PART TWO -- 25 -- ...And Now For Something Completely Different - Television! -- 26 -- The Tree Of Humankind - Man On A Limb! -- 27 -- The Heroes Of The Miniseries -- 28 -- Prostitution - Adapting Bryce Courtenay - And The Mysterious Case Of The Stolen Logie -- PART THREE -- 29 -- Back To The Reel World -- 30 -- On Their Selection - The $24,000 Lunch! -- 31 -- A Celebration - Then Shadows Fall -- 32 -- 'That Resilient Little Beast' - But Not Quite A Heart Stopper! -- 33 -- An Apple For The Teacher - Food for thought -- 34 -- Shattered Dreams - Broken Promises -- The Final Reel - The Full Circle

Beyond the bottom line : the producer in film and television studies / edited by Andrew Spicer, A.T. McKenna and Christopher Meir. New York: Bloomsbury, c2014.
Call No: 67(04) BEYSource: USPlace: New YorkPublisher: BloomsburyPubDate: c2014PhysDes: xiii, 289 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.Subject: PRODUCERS Summary: This is the first collection of original critical essays devoted to exploring the misunderstood, neglected and frequently caricatured role played by the film producer. The editors' introduction provides a conceptual and methodological overview, arguing that the producer's complex and multifaceted role is crucial to a film's success or failure. The collection is divided into three sections where detailed individual essays explore a broad range of contrasting producers working in different historical, geographical, generic and industrial contexts. Rather than suggest there is a single type of producer, the collection analyses the rich variety of roles producers play, providing fascinating and informative insights into how the film industry actually works. This groundbreaking collection challenges several of the conventional orthodoxies of film studies, providing a new approach that will become required reading for scholars and students. --back of the bookNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9781441172365Contents: Machine generated contents note: 1.Introduction / Christopher Meir -- pt.

His credits include the stage production of The Rocky Horror Show, which he later directed for 20th Century Fox. He has worked in Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States, and his other credits include the musicals Hair and Jesus Christ Superstar. His stage work has encompassed more than seventy productions, including opera (Don Giovanni, Voss, Death in Venice), classics (Shakespeare, Strindberg, Wedekind, Brecht) and much of the stage and screen work of Nobel Laureate Patrick White. In Blood & Tinsel, Jim Sharman takes us on an epic personal journey from his colourful childhood in his father's boxing troupe to Tokyo, London, Berlin and Sydney via the international successes of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Hair and Jesus Christ Superstar. Whether recounting conversations with Lou Reed, giving us the inside story about Rocky Horror or describing a fateful meeting with Patrick White, Jim Sharman casts a brilliant story of the people and events that have shaped the times. Blood & Tinsel ranges from the rough and ready world of outback Australia in the fi fties, where boxers and panto dames shared the stage, to the cultural explosions in which Sharman played a part. Blood & Tinsel is a remarkable story about Australia. It is also a moving tribute to a family legendary in the entertainment stakes."--BOOK COVERISBN: 9780522853773

In this new set of interviews, MacDonald once again engages filmmakers in detailed discussions of their films and of the personal experiences and political and theoretical currents that have shaped their work. The interviews are arranged to express the remarkable diversity of modern independent cinema and the network of interconnections within the community of filmmakers.
A Critical Cinema 4 includes the most extensive interview with the late Stan Brakhage yet published; a conversation with P. Adams Sitney about his arrival on the New York independent film scene; a detailed discussion with Peter Kubelka about the experience of making Our African Journey; a conversation with Jill Godmilow and Harun Farocki on modern political documentary; Jim McBride's first extended published conversation in thirty years; a discussion with Abigail Child about her evolution from television documentarian to master editor; and the first extended interview with Chuck Workman. This volume also contains discussions with Chantal Akerman about her place trilogy; Lawrence Brose on his examination of Oscar Wilde's career; Hungarian Peter Forgács about his transformation of European home movies into video operas; Iranian-born Shirin Neshat on working between two cultures; and Ellen Spiro about exploring America with her video camera and her dog. Each interview is supplemented by an introductory overview of the filmmaker's contributions. A detailed filmography and a selected bibliography complete the volume. -- publisher's blurbISBN: 9780520242715Contents: Introduction

His public facade is part of our collective memory but the man behind it, and how his passion and determination changed Australian culture forever is revealed in 'Hector'.

It is a world that Lynda Obst, one of the most successful producers in Hollywood today, entered two decades ago as a neophyte and where through resolve, determination, and quick wit, she has been able to produce some of today's biggest movies, including The Fisher King and Sleepless in Seattle.
Now in Hello, He Lied, Lynda Obst takes us on a behind-the-scenes tour of her world - onto sound stages with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, inside meetings with David Geffen and Peter Guber, on location in New York City with George Clooney and Michelle Pfeiffer, and into negotiations over The Hot Zones. She shares what she has learned in over twenty years in the business, about how to pitch an idea, impress a suit, win a bidding war over a hot script, and massage egos, as well as the all consuming issue of how to dress on location, what to say to skittish directors, where to eat lunch - whether in New York, LA, or a town you've never heard of - and most important, how to produce successful, critically acclaimed movies.Notes: First published: Boston : Little, Brown, c1996ISBN: 0732258618 : $16.95LON: abn97006410; 12942780

The interviews are loaded with humour, bitter feuds, and personal anecdotes of the great and near great." (Taken from back cover)ISBN: 39911162XDonation: donated by the family of Wayne Levy, 2006

The Hollywood trust : trade associations and the rise of the studio system / Kia Afra London: Rowman & Littlefield, 2016.
Call No: 210.31 (73) AFRAuthor: Afra, Kia Edition: 2016Place: LondonPublisher: Rowman & LittlefieldPubDate: 2016PhysDes: xxvi, 292 p. : illus. ; 23 cmSubject: MOTION PICTURE PRODUCERS AND DISTRIBUTORS OF AMERICA ; MOTION PICTURE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA ; HAYS, WILL ; ZUKOR, ADOLPH Notes: As the film industry was establishing itself at the start of the twentieth century, trade associations played a pivotal role in the emergence of the studio system. These producer-distributor trade associations were forums for internal and external conflicts, as well as the true sources of influence and power in early Hollywood.
In The Hollywood Trust: Trade Associations and the Rise of the Studio System, Kia Afra provides a detailed account of three successive trade organizations from 1915 to 1928. By examining the Motion Picture Board of Trade, the National Association of the Motion Picture Industry (NAMPI), and the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA), Afra outlines the relationships of power in Hollywood’s early years, asking questions such as: How and why did the studio system come about, and what were the industrial and institutional forces that impacted Hollywood’s development? In order to answer these crucial questions, The Hollywood Trust explores the role played by film industry trade associations in navigating important issues facing the burgeoning studio system, including censorship, public relations, trade practices, government regulation, film distribution, labor conflicts, taxes and tariffs, and exhibitor opposition.
A vital look at an under-reported aspect of the studio system, this volume fills a gap in the history of the American film industry. As such The Hollywood Trust will be of particular interest to scholars of film history, as well as those concerned with cultural history and the political economics of entertainment. -- publisher's blurbISBN: 9781442268289Contents: 1 Prelude to Association

Identifying and analyzing the many complex forces that shape the production and distribution of feature films, the authors detail how independent filmmakers create work that reflects independent voices and challenges political, economic, and cultural constraints.
With chapters on the under-explored cinemas of Greece, Turkey, Iraq, China, Malaysia, Peru, and West Africa, as well as traditional production centres such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, Independent Filmmaking around the Globe explores how contemporary independent filmmaking increasingly defines the global cinema of our time." -- TAKEN FROM FIRST PAGE OF BOOKNotes: Includes bibliographical references and filmographyISBN: 9781442626836Donation: Senses of CinemaContents: -- foreword: producing independently in global industry / David Hamilton -- ackowledgments -- 1.The Meaning of Independence: Concepts, Contexts, and Interpretations / Mary P.

J.J. Abrams : interviews / Edited by Brent Dunham The United States: University Press of Mississippi, 2019.

Abrams, 2011) Summary: "Jeffrey Jacob "J. J." Abrams (b. 1966) decided to be a filmmaker at the age of eight after his grandfather took him on the back-lot tour of Universal Studios. Throughout his career, Abrams has dedicated his life to storytelling and worked tirelessly to become one of the best-known and most-successful creators in Hollywood. The thirty interviews collected in this volume span Abrams's entire career, covering his many projects from television and film to video games and theater. The volume also includes a 1982 article about Abrams as a teen sensation whose short film High Voltage won the Audience Award at a local film festival and garnered the attention of Steven Spielberg. Beginning his career as a screenwriter on films like Regarding Henry and Armageddon, Abrams transitioned into a TV mogul with hit shows like Alias and Lost. Known for his imaginative work across several genres, from science fiction and horror to action and drama, Abrams's most successful films include Mission: Impossible III; Star Trek; and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which went on to become the highest grossing film of all time in the United States. His production company, Bad Robot, has produced innovative genre projects like Cloverfield and Westworld. Abrams also cowrote a novel with Doug Dorst called S. and, most recently, he produced the Broadway run of The Play That Went Wrong. In conversations with major publications and independent blogs, Abrams discusses his long-standing collaborations with others in the field, explains his affinity for mystery, and describes his approach to creating films like those he gravitated to as a child, revealing that the award-winning director-writer-producer is a fan before he is a filmmaker."-- FROM BLURB.Notes: Includes index, includes filmography, includes chronology.ISBN: 9781496820426Donation: Senses of CinemaContents: Beardless Wonders of Film Making - Robert Young/1982 -- From the Archives: J.

From The Matrix (1999) to Cloud Atlas (2012), they have left their mark as innovators in the industry, consistently pushing the boundaries of what is perceived as technically and topically possible in studio film. They are also the world's first major transgender film directors and arguably the most influential transgender cultural producers in human history. Their coming out makes possible a reevaluation of the Wachowskis' entire oeuvre as curating alternate approaches to gender, emobodiment, and perception, that might be retrospectively theorized as "trans." In this study, Cael Keegan will argue that the Wachowskis' work can be read as an aesthetic history of transgender political consciousness as it has evolved in popular media. He explores the significance of the Wachowskis as film and genre innovators who have permanently altered the technology and aesthetics of mainstream Hollywood cinema. Keegan sees the radical identities at play in many of their early films as emerging from a queer sensibility and and a hoped-for sense of the body's plasticity. Moving chronologically through the Wachowskis' filmography, he uses the films' theorization of gender and embodied identity at the intersection of convergence, virtuality, biopolitical surveillance and capitalist realism to open these much-discussed works to new modes of analysis" --Notes: "Lilly Wachowski was born in 1967 in Chicago as Andrew Wachowski" -- Libraries Australia; Lana Wochowski was born as Larry Wochowski - Libraries Australia; Alternate Names: The Wachowski Brothers or The Wachowskis; Includes bibliographical references, filmography, and index.ISBN: 9780252083839Contents: Trans opt: Received -- "You can believe what you feel": Bound -- Ecstatic passages: The Matrix -- Redpill -- Adventures in transreality: The animatrix -- Heroic ends: The matrix reloaded and The matrix revolutions -- Revolutionary guises: V for Vendetta -- Sensorial assault -- Fixed races: Speed racer -- Escaping history: Cloud atlas -- Speculative heights: Jupiter ascending -- Epilogue: event horizon: Sense8 --

Then came the Circus Maximus created by director Steven Spielberg, billionaire David Geffen, and Jeffrey Katzenberg (who gave the world The Lion King). Nothing in decades had approached the excitement surrounding the empire called DreamWorks, where hype, glory, and investors vying to kick in billions gave way to blowups, battles, and betrayals worthy of THE GODFATHER. Nicole LaPorte reveals for the first time the delicious truths of what happened behind the scenes. Readers will feel they are part of the creative calamities of moviemaking as LaPorte's fly-on-the-wall detail shows us Hollywood's bizarre rules of business. We see clashes between the often otherworldly Spielberg's troops and Katzenberg's warriors, the debacles and disasters, but also the Oscar-winning triumphs, such as SAVING PRIVATE RYAN. We see Geffen seducing investors and watch as the studio burns through billions while its rich owners get richer and everybody else suffers. Here is Hollywood - up close, glamorous, and gritty."

Source: USPlace: New YorkPublisher: Praeger PublishersPubDate: 1972PhysDes: 120 p. : ill. ; 28cmSubject: PRODUCERS ; FILM WORKERS Summary: "Movie was the first major journal in English to be founded on the principles that have since become known as the auteur theory. The magazine has been distinguished by its enthusiasm for previously neglected areas of the American cinema. It has paid homage to directors whose reputations had been stifled by the belief of previous generations of critics that good films emerged from Hollywood only as a result of happy accidents that brought together a compatible group of craftsmen, some competent actors, and a well-written script. As part of the process of rediscovering the American cinema, the editors and contributors of Movie interviewed many of the major directors at some length. These interviews are far more searching than the usual show-business chatter. Among the directors interviewed were Alfred Hitchcock, Vincente Minnelli, Nicholas Ray, and Otto Preminger. However, the magazine has not dealt exclusively with Hollywood- among the interviews included in this anthology are one with Claude Chabrol and a revealing conversation between Jean-Luc Godard and Michaelangelo Antonioni. A number of previously unpublished interviews are also included. The first-person accounts of the business of directing films gathered here form a fascinating and invaluable collection of source material." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: "The articles ... are taken from the first fourteen issues of Movie, covering the years 1962 to 1965.".; Includes bibliographical references.Contents: -- introduction -- General Articles -- the British cinema -- films, directors, and critics -- the iconography of the movies -- Alfred Hitchcock -- the mechanics of suspense -- suspense and meaning -- rope -- the universal Hitchcock -- Otto Preminger -- why Preminger? -- from laura to angel face -- carmen and Bess -- bonjour Tristesse -- exodus -- attitudes in advise and content -- Howard Hawks --Hawks' comedies -- gentlemen prefer blondes -- Hatari! -- Nicholas Ray -- the cinema of Nicholas Ray -- Joesph Losey -- contamination -- king and country -- Director Studies -- the Darwinian world of Claude Chabrol -- Michael Powell -- Frank Tashlin & the new world -- six films of Josef von Sternberg -- Film Reviews -- Now about these women -- Tokyo story -- Judex -- Vanina Vanini -- the trial of Joan of Arc -- La baie des anges -- Paris nous appartient -- Hercules conquers Atlantis -- Freaks --

AUSTRALIA ; STIGWOOD, ROBERT Summary: "In the 1970s, Australian entrepreneur Robert Stigwood was the entertainment industry's most powerful tycoon. This is his largest-than-life story. Stiggy's ability to pick and promote talent was astounding. He came to renown managing the careers of the Bee Gees, Cream and Eric Clapton and Grease, and was behind the massive West End and Broadway musicals Hair and Jesus Christ Superstar. There were also great crashes, including an infamous Chuck Berry tour that failed to attract audiences and forced the Australian impresario into bankruptcy. The failure of the big-budget musical film of the Beatles' album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band also cut deep. Throughout it all, Stigwood lived it up with champagne, staff, private planes, yachts and luxury penthouses. The parties he hosted were legendary, as was his ability to party all night long and pull off a substantial business deal the next morning. Great rifts arose in almost all of his closest personal and professional relationships, but his gift for friendship and enormous talents in the entertainment business generally saw rapprochement. Not for nothing was Robert Stigwood dubbed "Mt Showbiz".

Phillip Noyce : backroads to Hollywood / by Ingo Petzke Sydney: Pan Macmillan Australia, 2004.
Call No: 81NOY PETAuthor: Petzke, Ingo Source: ATPlace: SydneyPublisher: Pan Macmillan AustraliaPubDate: 2004PhysDes: xxix, 402 p., [16] p. of plates ; 25 cm. + 1 computer optical disc (12 cm.)Subject: PRODUCERS ; AUSTRALIA ; USA ; NOYCE, PHILLIP Summary: " Phillip Noyce is one of the world's most successful directors. His credits cover the whole filmmaking spectrum, from Hollywood blockbusters to critics' favorites. But what sort of man is able to direct films as different as Newsfront, Dead Calm, Clear and Present Danger, The Bone Collector, Rabbit-Proof Fence and The Quiet American? Phillip Noyce: Backroads to Hollywood provides the answer. Brilliantly researched, it is the first full-length look at the director and his films, and has been written with unequalled access not only to Noyce himself but to many of the legends he has worked with. The reader is given the opportunity to see what it's really like on the set with actors such as Nicole Kidman, Harrison Ford, Angelina Jolie, Denzel Washington, Sharon Stone and Michael Caine, and to be responsible for projects that can make or break movie studios. The book is full of fascinating insights into Noyce's life and career - from his time as one of the first students of the Australian Film and Television school, working with a hand-held camera, to his career as the director of hugely successful Hollywood movies. It's also a remarkable look at the art of filmmaking and the complexities of the world's most powerful medium. Phillip Noyce: Backroads to Hollywood is a compellingly readable insider's view of the world of films, and the life and achievements of an Australian icon. Includes a CD-ROM containing hundreds of film stills, storyboards, an additional chapter and the author;s Hollywood diary.

Revolution! : the explosion of world cinema in the 60s / Peter Cowie London: Faber and Faber, 2004.
Call No: 70"196" COWAuthor: Cowie, Peter Source: UKPlace: LondonPublisher: Faber and FaberPubDate: 2004PhysDes: xviii, 286 p. : ports. ; 24 cmSubject: PRODUCERS ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. 1960's Summary: "The 11-year span from 1958 to 1969 proved one of the most transformative and dynamic periods in cinema history, and film historian Cowie interweaves historical narrative and candid interviews with European filmmakers to chart the origins of this revolutionary celluloid expressionism and its later influence on American filmmakers such as Francis Ford Coppola and John Cassavettes. Movements such as Italian neo-realism, led by Luchino Visconti, Vittorio De Sica and Francesco Rosi, and the French New Wave reflected a post-World War II landscape brutalized by fascism and fascinated with the rise of communism. The period’s benchmark films, by mostly European directors and writers, shifted the camera lens to the character of society and away from the man who lives in it. "Rewriting the grammar of film," according to Cowie, was Jean Luc Godard, who launched the French New Wave movement with his 1960 film, a bout de souffle. With this and the endeavors of François Truffaut, Claude Chabrol and others, French filmmakers introduced a more natural, autobiographical style of moviemaking that accentuated the minutia and redundancy of life. Cowie also profiles less publicized pioneers, such as Andrzej Wajda, considered the Ingmar Bergman of Eastern Europe, who helped put Polish cinema back on the map after the country’s years of foreign occupation. In Britain, directors John Schlesinger, John Boorman and Carol Reed captured the bleak factory life of the proletariat and rebelled against social norms and the European class structure under the nose of the conservative British government. A comprehensive and engrossing study, the book ably illuminates the path from the 1960s explosion of ideas to their not-so-subversive presence in today’s art-house films." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (WWW.AMAZON.COM)Notes: Includes index; Includes bibliographical referencesISBN: 0571209033Contents: -- acknowledgements -- introduction -- 1: once upon a time in the fifties -- 2: Cinephiles to Cineastes: France in transition -- 3: the realist's eye -- 4: the big new wave -- 5: burying papa's cinema -- 6: towards a fresh aesthetic -- 7: commitment comes in from the cold -- 8: aftermath: the impact on hollywood -- 10: the long goodbye -- notes -- interviews -- filmographies of directors interviewed -- index --

In it, Peter Bart pulls together his best columns from Variety and GQ. He groups them, juxtaposes them, and interprets them, outlining in detail the history and inner workings of Hollywood. This could only be done by someone powerful enough to phone any star or head of studio and have his calls taken on the first ring. In story after story, Bart shows how the major studios haver diverted thie energies away from production of the shrewdly crafted pictures that once made the industry powerful. There isn't, for example, much range or innovation in the movies of salable objects- natural disasters, aliens, dinosaurs, ghosts, monsters, or any combination thereof. All are subjects easily parlayed into theme-park environments, action figures, video games, and clothing lines. Similarly, since Jaws twenty years ago, there's been a very short list of acceptable settings. The 1998 Academy Award nominations for best picture all went to films set in Elizabethian times or during World War II. A few years ago it looked as though Pulp Fiction and other independent films were going to save showbiz. Now independent producers like Miramax and New Line have been acquired by the conglomerates. Who and what will resurrect Hollywood? Peter Bart has the answers." - BOOK JACKETNotes: Includes indexISBN: 1580631169LON: 21362029
