100 years of Soviet cinema / edited by Daniel Fairfax Melbourne: The LedaTape Organisation, 2019.
Call No: 71(47) FAIAuthor: Fairfax, Daniel Place: MelbournePublisher: The LedaTape OrganisationPubDate: 2019PhysDes: 200 p. : col. ill. ; 24 cm.Series: a senses of cinema bookSubject: USSR Summary: One hundred years of Soviet cinema?
How is this possible, if the USSR itself lasted barely seven decades before its spectacular demise in 1991?
How can we speak of the continued existence of Soviet cinema in the quarter-century since this apocalyptic event?
But from Battleship Potemkin to The Colour of Pomegranates, from Man with a Movie Camera to Stalker, from The Cranes Are Flying to Hard to be a God, cinema from the “sixth of the world” covered by the Soviet Union continues, indefatigably, to exist. Firstly, because films made during the era of Communist rule are still with us, even well after the social and political framework in which they were realised has perished. And secondly, because, even to this day, the history of the USSR looms large in the cinema of Russia and the other former Soviet republics, as contemporary filmmakers engage in the vast project of digesting the tragic history of the Soviet experiment.
The centenary of the October 1917 Russian revolution, when under Lenin’s leadership the Bolsheviks established the world’s first proletarian state, was marked by a major dossier on Soviet cinema in the Australian online film journal Senses of Cinema. This book is an augmented version of that dossier, collecting more than sixty articles on Soviet and post-Soviet films arranged in chronological order, and represents the first collaboration between Senses of Cinema and The Leda Tape Organisation.ISBN: 9780994411266Donation: The LedaTape OrganisationContents: Introduction

RUSSIA ; RUSSIA ; RUSSIA IN FILMS ; USSR ; U.S.S.R IN FILMS Summary: "This wide-ranging collection investigates the father/son dynamic in post-Stalinist Soviet cinema and its Russian successor. Contributors analyze complex patterns of identification, disavowal, and displacement in films by such diverse directors as Khutsiev, Motyl', Tarkovsky, Balabanov, Sokurov, Todorovskii, Mashkov, and Bekmambetov. Several chapters focus on the difficulties of fulfilling the paternal function, while others show how vertical and horizontal male bonds are repeatedly strained by the pressure of redefining an embattled masculinity in a shifting political landscape." - BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes index.ISBN: 9780253221872Contents: Preface -- Introduction - Cinepaternity: the psyche and its heritage --; Part One: Thaw, stagnation, perestroika -- The myth of the great family in Marlen Khutsiev's Lenin's Guard and Mark Osep'ian's Three Days of Viktor Chernyshev: Alexander Prokhorov -- Mending the rupture: the war trope and the return of the imperial father in 1970s cinema: Elena Prokhorova -- Models of male kinship in perestroika cinema: Seth Graham --; Part two: war in the post-Soviet dialogue with paternity -- The fathers' war through the sons' lens: Tatiana Smorodinskaya -- War as the family value: failing fathers and monstrous sons in My Stepbrother Frankenstein: Mark Lipovetsky -- A surplus of surrogates: Mashkov's fathers: Helena Goscilo --; Part three: Reconceiving filial bonds -- Resurrected fathers and resuscitated sons: homosocial fantasies in The Return and Koktebel: Yana Hashamova -- The forces of kinship: Timur Bekmambetov's Night Watch cinematic trilogy: Vlad Stukov -- Fathers, sons and brothers: redeeming patriarchal authority in The Brigade: Brian James Baer --; Four: Auteurs and the psychological/philosophical -- Fraught filiation: Andrei Tarkovsky's transformations of personal trauma: Helena Goscilo -- Vision and blindness in Sokurov's Father and Son: Jose Alaniz

Edited by the distinguished filmmaker and historian Lewis Jacobs, the book has become an indispensable reference for both students and practitioners of documentary. This new edition brings The Documentary Tradition up to date and includes the writings of almost 100 filmmakers and critics. To the five parts which trace the development of the genre from the 1920s Jacobs has added a new section of seven essays on the documentaries of the 1970s. The section is introduced by his own survey of the filmmaking of the period, "From Political Activism to Women's Consciousness," and accompanied by a selected list of documentaries of the 1970s together with photographs from a number of these films. The bibliography of works on documentary films and filmmakers has been expanded." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes index; Bibliography: p. 577-579ISBN: 0393950425LON: 1437994URL status: URL: 'http://-'

His theory was at every point elaborated in direct, vigorous relation with practice; his doctrine of kino-eye, breaking with film's subjection to traditional narrative purposes, was a passionate call to action. Vertov's spirit of revolutionary optimism leaps from his pages. Articles, memoranda, speeches, letters, proposals for films, poured from his pen - explaining, defining, persuading. In voluminous notebooks and diaries he proposed a cinema implicated in the process of revolutionary transformation, one that would play a leading role in the construction of socialism." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes index; Filmography: p.

The men with the movie camera : the poetics of visual style in soviet avant-garde cinema of the 1920s / Philip Cavendish New York and Oxford: Berghahn Books,
Call No: 802.3(47) CAVAuthor: Cavendish, Philip Edition: 2013Place: New York and OxfordPublisher: Berghahn BooksPhysDes: xii, 342 pages : illustrated ; 23 cmSubject: USSR ; EXPERIMENTAL FILMS ; CINEMATOGRAPHY ; TISSE, EDUARD ; GOLOVNA, ANATOLIJ Summary: Unlike previous studies of the Soviet avant-garde during the silent era, which have regarded the works of the period as manifestations of directorial vision, this study emphasizes the collaborative principle at the heart of avant-garde filmmaking units and draws attention to the crucial role of camera operators in creating the visual style of the films, especially on the poetics of composition and lighting. In the Soviet Union of the 1920s and early 1930s, owing to the fetishization of the camera as an embodiment of modern technology, the cameraman was an iconic figure whose creative contribution was encouraged and respected. Drawing upon the film literature of the period, Philip Cavendish describes the culture of the camera operator, charts developments in the art of camera operation, and studies the mechanics of key director-cameraman partnerships. He offers detailed analysis of Soviet avant-garde films and draws comparisons between the visual aesthetics of these works and the modernist experiments taking place in the other spheres of the visual arts. -- publisher's web siteContents: List of Illustrations -- Acknowledgements -- Note on Transliteration and Conventions -- Abbreviations -- Introduction -- Chapter 1.

In this provocative investigation, Sitney explores various theories of vision by examining the sometimes neglected texts of Maurice Blanchot, Charles Olson, and Gertrude Stein and by offering a bold interpretation of the relationship between literature and film." - taken from back coverNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 239-246) and index.ISBN: 0231071833Contents: 1.
