Summary: Tourism to places where movies and television series have been filmed is not a new phenomenon, having its roots in literary tourism. Whilst there is a growing recognition of the significance of film as a motivator for tourism, studies in this field are limited. However, film is more than a simple place promotion tool. Representing over five years of study into film-induced tourism, this publication considers aspects of tourism to film studios as well as film sites. Genres and styles of film considered include popular fictional movies, cult movies, television series and animation, and covers destinations form New York to Scotland, England and rural Australia. The potential of film-induced tourism as a motivator is explored, along with more negative effects, particularly in relation to small communities. The study of this complex field draws on elements of sociology and psychology, destination marketing, community development and strategic planning. [Taken from back cover.]

Summary: " During its fourth and final season - for the present - Farscape was the Science Fiction Channel's highest rating original series, and with its dedicated fan-base, Farscape seasons are still top-billing Science Fiction DVDs. Jes Battis offers the first critical reading of Farscape's imaginative worlds and its characters, from Crichton, D'Argo, Zhaan, Rygel, Chiana and Scorpius, to Pilot and Moya herself. He prposes that Farscape is as much about bodies, sex and gender as it is about wormholes, space ships, and interstellar warfare. It is this straddling of of genres that makes the show so viewable to such a broad audience, of which almost half are women. Taking in a diverse spectrum of social issues within SF, including racism, imperialism and inter-species ex, he asks what does it mean to be 'human' or 'alien' within the uncharted territories of Farscape's universe? Who are the anthropologists and who are the extraterrestrials? How does John Crichton, a 'lost' astronaut, discover a new home aboard Moya, and what seperates Crichton from his SF predecessors? This exciting and original book features a detailed Lexicon of Farscape's alien languages. It reveals how the show both parodies and surpasses other SF shows like Star Trek and Babylon 5 and why TV Guide calls it 'one of the sexiest and most irreveerant sci-fi shows on television" -- BOOK BLURB

PhysDes: Article
Subject: CINEMATOGRAPHY; TRAVEL IN FILMS
Summary: The article explores 'travelling shots' or shots filmed from the perspective of a moving vehicle. It outlines two separate traditions of the travelling shot
Notes: This article maps out the cinematic usage of `travelling shots', or shots created through affixing a camera to a vehicle. This article initially examines the earliest examples of such shots, the nineteenth century train-mounted `Phantom Rides' that synthesized two iconic technologies of modernity, rail and film, to create a form of camera movement that demonstrated the new technologies' mastery of space. This article asks what happened to this trope of movement as prowess. To this end, using the conceptual frameworks provided by film historian Tom Gunning's concept of a `cinema of attractions' and fellow film historian Charles Musser's concept of a `cinema of contemplation', narrative films are analysed in relation to how the travelling shot was co-opted for thematic means. Salient travelling shots, sourced from the nineteenth century Phantom Rides to 2009s Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince are used to trace the lineage of the travelling shot up into our present time. By examining how film-makers have adapted travelling shots for integration within narrative films, and accommodated such new cinematic and transport technologies as CGI and helicopters, a foundation for understanding the rhetorical impulses of travelling shots is developed (Abstract)
