This compelling study corrects such omissions by detailing the theory and practice of alternative adaptation practices from major avant-garde directors. Avant-Garde films are often relegated to the margins because they challenge our traditional notions of what film form and style can accomplish. Directors who choose to adapt previous material run the risk of severe critical dismay; making films that are highly subjective interpretations or representations of existing texts takes courage and foresight. An avant-garde adaptation provokes spectators by making them re-think what they know about film itself, just as much as the previous source material.Adaptation and the Avant-Garde examines films by Peter Greenaway, Jean-Luc Godard, Guy Maddin, Jan Svankmajer and many others, offering illuminating insights and making us reconsider the nature of adaptation, appropriation, borrowing, and the re-imagining of previous sources. -- extract taken from the back of the book. --Notes: Formerly CIP. --

For the past fifty years, the love/hate affair between the two has triggered vital aesthetic, social and political responses that constantly renew the way we understand our age. This book traces the story from early spatial experiments with film and video technologies to the current widespread use of projected images in museums and galleries. Why has there been a turn to the cinematic in contemporary art? What happens to the moving image when it shifts from the black box to the white cube, when cinema is exhibited? How does this challenge the traditional mediums of film, painting and sculpture? 'Art and the Moving Image' gathers together key texts including new, translated and previously unavailable essays by eminent writers and theorists including Giorgio Agamben, Beatriz Colomina, Serge Daney, Rosalind Krauss, Maurizio Lazzaratto and Peter Wollen. It offers an essential introduction to the complex field of art and the projected image for both students and general readers." -- Publisher's website.Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.ISBN: 9781854376251Donation: Adrian MilesContents: Preface / Charles Esche -- Introduction / Tanya Leighton -- Colour plates -- Part I.

A critical cinema 4 : Interviews with independent filmmakers / MacDonld, Scott Berkeley and Los Angeles, California: University of California Press, 2005.
Call No: 802.25 MACAuthor: MacDonald, Scott Edition: 2005Place: Berkeley and Los Angeles, CaliforniaPublisher: University of California PressPubDate: 2005PhysDes: 410 p. ; 23 cmSeries: A critical cinemaSubject: STAN BRAKHAGE ; EXPERIMENTAL FILMS ; MOTION PICTURE PRODUCERS AND DISTRIBUTORS OF AMERICA ; INDEPENDENT FILMMAKERS Summary: A Critical Cinema 4 is the fourth volume in Scott MacDonald's Critical Cinema series, the most extensive, in-depth exploration of independent cinema available in English. 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

Each essay focuses on one or two important documentaries, engaging in questions surrounding ethics, ideology, politics, power, race, gender, and representation -- but always in terms of how they arise out of or are involved in the reading of specific documentaries as particular textual constructions. By closely reading documentaries as rich visual works, this anthology fills a void in the critical writing on documentaries, which tends to privilege production over aesthetic pleasure. As we perceive and comprehend the world through visual media increasingly, understanding the textual strategies by which individual documentaries are organized has become critically important. Together, the essays cover the significant developments in the history of the documentary, from the first commercially released feature, Nanook of the North (1922), to modern independent productions, such as An American Family (1973), Tongues Untied (1989), and Finding Christa (1991), and including important national and stylistic movements and various production contexts from the mainstream to the avant-garde. Seth Feldman places Dziga Vertov's Man with a Movie Camera (1929) within the context of constructivism and futurism; Vivian Sobchack discusses the strategies of Bunuel's Las Hurdas (Land without Bread, 1931) in relation to surrealism; and Joanne Hershfield explores Que viva Mexico! (1932) as the presentation of an exotic culture by a European director. Documenting the Documentary offers clear, serious, and insightful analyses of documentary films, and is a welcome balancebetween theory and criticism, abstract conceptualization and concrete analysis. --FROM PUBLISHER'S SITENotes: includes bibliiographic references and indexISBN: 0814326390Contents: Filmmaker as hunter / William Rothman -- Peace between man and machine / Seth Feldman -- Paradise regained / Joanne Hershfield -- Synthetic vision / Vivian Sobchack -- Art of national projection / William Guynn -- Mass psychology of fascist cinema / Frank P.

Film Art Phenomena is a crucial intervention in debates about the modes of film-making that diverge from and oppose the mainstream." -- Back coverNotes: Includes bibliography p. 188; includes index p. 195ISBN: 0851709710. mContents: I.

Examining the representation of nature and landscape in particular, and location in general, MacDonald offers new readings of films under consideration as well as an expanded sense of modern film history."Notes: Includes distribution sources for films and videos (in US), notes and indexISBN: 0520227387

It acts as a form of reclamation by integrating films having received inadequate historical and critical recognition and placing these alongside films existing as accepted texts of the decade. This history challenges the problematic 'return to image' thesis, providing examples of written evidence and demonstrating how this has problematically perpetuated a flawed account of the decade. This is the first extensive overview of 1970s filmmaking, contextualizing films within broader aesthetic, theoretical and socio-political frameworks. The detailed textual and comparative analyses offer unique approaches to individual films, shedding light on technical, aesthetic and economic decisions informing filmmaking. As such, it provides a unique understanding of how experimental filmmaking grew from a small handful of films and filmmakers, at the start of the 1970s, to a veritable 'explosion' in filmmaking by the end of the decade"-- TROVENotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9781349474912Language: EnglishContents: Introduction -- 1.

Many scholars have linked the origins of the discipline to late-1960s developments in the academy such as structuralist theory and student protest. Yet this collection reveals the broader material and institutional forces—both inside and outside of the university—that have long shaped the field. Beginning with the first investigations of cinema in the early twentieth century, this volume provides detailed examinations of the varied social, political, and intellectual milieus in which knowledge of cinema has been generated. The contributors explain how multiple instantiations of film study have had a tremendous influence on the methodologies, curricula, modes of publication, and professional organizations that now constitute the university-based discipline. Extending the historical insights into the present, contributors also consider the directions film study might take in changing technological and cultural environments. -- Publisher descriptionNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9780822342892Contents: The Academy and Motion Pictures / Lee Grieveson, Haidee Wasson

Summary: This book is a study of one of the most insidious and pervasive phenomena in the study and reception of cinema: the "returned gaze" from the screen in which the audience is actually surveilled by the film being projected on the screen. Rather than the usual process of watching a film, in those films which return the gaze of the viewer, the film looks at us, confronting our voyeur's embrace of the spectacle it presents. The book cites examples as diverse as Andy Warhol's Vinyl, Laurel and Hardy two-reel comedies, the films of Jean-Marie Straub, Jean-Luc Godard, Roberto Rossellini, and Wesley E. Barry's Creation of The Humanoids. It also discusses the history of the returned gaze in video, pornography, surveillance systems, and the related plastic artsNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 203-226) and indexISBN: 0791423409 (pbk.); 0791423395LON: 10868713

They have also been among the most potent sources of creative inspiration for experimental filmmakers. Lessons in Perception melds film theory and cognitive science in a stimulating investigation of the work of iconic experimental artists such as Stan Brakhage, Robert Breer, Maya Deren, and Jordan Belson. In illustrating how avant-garde filmmakers draw from their own mental and perceptual capacities, author Paul Taberham offers a compelling for how their works expand the range of aesthetic sensitivity and open creative vistas uncharted by commercial cinema. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781785336416Donation: Senses of CinemaContents: List of Illustrations -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction -- PART I: COGNITION --Chapter 1.

The music and sound of experimental film / edited by Holly Rogers and Jeremy Barham New York: Oxford Univesity Press,
Call No: 771 MUSAuthor: Rogers, Holly ; Barham, Jeremy Edition: 2017Place: New YorkPublisher: Oxford Univesity PressPhysDes: xvi, 320 pages : illustrations ; 24 cmSubject: EXPERIMENTAL FILMS ; COLOUR BOX, A (UK, Len Lye, 1935) ; AVANT-GARDE FILMS ; LYE, LEN ; MCLAREN, NORMAN ; BRAKHAGE, STAN ; AKERMAN, CHANTAL ; SMITH, JOHN ; COMPILATION FILMS ; CHIEN ANDALOU, UN (FR, Luis Bunuel, 1928) Summary: This book explores music/sound-image relationships in non-mainstream screen repertoire from the earliest examples of experimental audiovisuality to the most recent forms of expanded and digital technology. It challenges presumptions of visual primacy in experimental cinema and rethinks screen music discourse in light of the aesthetics of non-commercial imperatives. Several themes run through the book, connecting with and significantly enlarging upon current critical discourse surrounding realism and audibility in the fiction film, the role of music in mainstream cinema, and the audiovisual strategies of experimental film. The contributors investigate repertoires and artists from Europe and the USA through the critical lenses of synchronicity and animated sound, interrelations of experimentation in image and sound, audiovisual synchresis and dissonance, experimental soundscape traditions, found-footage film, re-mediation of pre-existent music and sound, popular and queer sound cultures, and a diversity of radical technological, aesthetic, tropes in film media traversing the work of early pioneers such as Walther Ruttmann and Len Lye, through the mid-century innovations of Norman McLaren, Stan Brakhage, Lis Rhodes, Kenneth Anger, Andy Warhol, and studio collectives in Poland, to latter-day experimentalists John Smith and Bill Morrison, as well as the contemporary practices of Vjing. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780190469900Contents: Preface - Jeremy Barham -- Introduction - Holly Rogers -- Chapter 1: Absolute Sounding Images: Abstract Film and Radio Drama of the 1920s as Complementary Forms of a Media Specific Art - Dieter Daniels -- Chapter 2: A Primitivism of the Senses: The Role of Music in Len Lye's Experimental Animation, -- Malcolm Cook -- Chapter 3: An Educational Avant-Garde: Sound and Music in Julien Bryan's OIAA Films on Latin America, 1942-1949 - James Tobias -- Chapter 4: bup bup bup: Aural Innovation in the Films of Norman McLaren - Terence Dobson -- Chapter 5: Sights and Sounds of the Moving Mind: The Visionary Soundtracks of Stan Brakhage - Eric Smigel -- Chapter 6: Discontinuities and Resynchronisations: The Use of Sound in Polish Experimental Cinema from the 1930s to the 1980s - Daniel Muzyczuk -- Chapter 7: Grid Intensities: Hearing Structures in Chantal Akerman's Films of the 1970s - Paul Hegarty -- Chapter 8: Meaning and Musicality: Sound-Image Relations in the Films of John Smith - Andy Birtwistle -- Chapter 9: Audiovisual Dissonance in Found-Footage Film - Holly Rogers -- Chapter 10: Rebalancing the Picture/Sound Relationship: The Audiovisual Compositions of Lis Rhodes - Aimee Mollaghan -- Chapter 11: Sounding Decay in the Digital Age: Audio-Visions of Decasia (2002) and Lyrical Nitrate (1991) - Nessa Johnston -- Chapter 12: The Sound of Queer Experimental Film - Juan A.

Through cinematography, mise-en-scène, editing, and other production activities, film takes the world “out there” and refashions it. Religion achieves similar ends by setting apart particular objects and periods of time, telling stories, and gathering people together for communal actions and concentrated focus. The result of both cinema and religious practice is a re-created world: a world of fantasy, a world of ideology, a world we long to live in, or a world we wish to avoid at all costs.
Religion and Film introduces readers to both religious studies and film studies by focusing on the formal similarities between cinema and religious practices and on the ways they each re-create the world. Explorations of film show how the cinematic experience relies on similar aesthetic devices on which religious rituals have long relied: sight, sound, the taste of food, the body, and communal experience. Meanwhile, a deeper understanding of the aesthetic nature of religious rituals can alter our understanding of film production. Utilizing terminology and theoretical insights from the study of religion as well as the study of film, Religion and Film shows that by paying attention to the ways films are constructed, we can shed new light on the ways religious myths and rituals are constructed and vice versa.
This thoroughly revised and expanded new edition is designed to appeal to the needs of courses in religion as well as film departments. In addition to two new chapters, this edition has been restructured into three distinct sections that offer students and instructors theories and methods for thinking about cinema in ways that more fully connect film studies with religious studies. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 978023117650Donation: Senses of CinemaContents: List of Illustrations

Replete with anecdotes and asides, the book details almost every aspect of the production of a motion picture, including the marshalling of actors and technicians, the preparation for filming itself, the cutting and editing processes, and the not always amicable transactions with distributors and would-be exploiters that follow the making of a film. The final section deals with the art of film comedy: how it is created, what makes it work, and who the great comedians are and why" -Book blurbISBN: 01854780238Donation: donated by the family of Wayne Levy, 2006Contents: To the reader -- Prologue -- Part one - production -- The humanities of film -- The total film-maker -- The money man -- Script and writer -- Actors -- The million-dollar hug -- Pre-production chores -- The crew -- Homework -- Filming it! -- Part two - post-production -- Editing -- Music and dubbing -- distribution and exploitation -- Other film-makers, other films -- Part three - comedy -- Laughs are our thing -- The visuals of comedy -- The comedians -- Kind of a wrap
