Summary: Studio complexes are an important part of the way places around the world compete for and participate in international production. Many studios, in a range of locations, now have the size and sophistication to service large-budget feature film production. This comprehensive study of contemporary international studio considers the circumstances in which this rash of studio complex building and renovating has occurred – in places as diverse as Rome, London, Berlin, Prague, Vancouver, Toronto, Sydney, the Gold Coast and Melbourne. Central to the study is an understanding of studio complexes as cinema and media cities providing not only sound stages but a full range of production and post-production services in the one location. Cinema Cities, Media Cities is the first published analysis of this new international studio system, its origins, its business and its policy contexts. [Taken from back cover.]

Summary: In Down and Dirty Pictures, Peter Biskind tells the story of the filmmakers and the independent distributors who revitalised Hollywood in the 1990s. He follows the growth of Sundance from a regional film festival to the premier showcase of independent film that it became, showing how it succeeded almost despite Robert Redford, whose visionary plans were often thwarted by his quixotic personality. He charts the meteoric rise of the controversial Harvey Weinstein, often described as the last mogul who, with his brother Bob, left a trail of carnage in his wake, yet created an Oscar factory that is the envy of the studios.

Culled from Warner Bros's voluminous files, these memos and letters recapture - from inspiration to filming, through fights and reconciliations - the creation of some of the most popular films ever made: Casablanca, Mildred Pierce, Yankee Doodle Dandy, The Maltese Falcon, Johnny Belinda, A Streetcar Named Desire and many, many more."--BOOK BLURB

Summary: With director Elia Kazan’s death in 2003 and actor Marlon Brando’s in 2004, a reappraisal of this classic film is timely and necessary. In this definitive study, Leo Braudy tells the complicated story of the film’s production. He revisits the facts behind the controversy of Kazan’s infamous ‘naming of names’ during the McCarthy communist trials of the 1950s. But above all this is an analysis of the enduring appeal of On the Waterfront: the method inspired acting, the music and cinematography, the use of authentic locations and its powerfully symbolic depiction of post-war American values.

Summary: "SKYWALKING is the story of one of the most creative visionaries in all film history. George Lucas was a typical Californian child of no great promise - he read comic books and watched TV; no one guessed that his imagination would inspire millions of people. Dale Pollock brilliantly tells the story of Lucas's legendary days at USCinema and his tangles with Francis Coppola and Universal Pictures. Pollock was one of the few reporters allowed on the set of RETURN OF THE JEDI, and he takes us behind the scenes of Lucas's movies. We find out how Artoo-Detoo got his name, how the Force came to be, and many other surprising revelations. Complete with photographs from Lucas's private collection, SKYWALKING is a powerful biography about a man who is setting the future course of film for years to come." [Taken from book jacket]

Summary: "The book looks at the experience of industry workers in film and television production in a variety of social, economic, political and cultural contexts. It provides a detailed analysis of specific systems of production and their role in shaping the experience of work, whilst also engaging with the key theoretical and methodological questions that attach to the study of film and television production. Working in the Global Film and Television Industries looks at film and television production not only in Hollywood and Western Europe but also in less familiar settings such as the Soviet Union, India, Nigeria, and the Democratic Republic of Congo." -- BOOK BLURB
