Summary: "The mutual fascination between art and cinema has had a great influence on contemporary culture. 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.

Summary: "Hamlyn's major new study treats artists' film conceptually in order to explore key categories that connect different works and film-makers: from framing to digital media, installation to interactivity, point of view to sound. In so doing he considers the work of Stan Brakhage, Malcolm Le Grice and Michael Snow as well as younger artists such as Karen Mirza and Brad Butler, Jennifer Nighting ale, and Colin Crockatt, among many others. Film Art Phenomena is a crucial intervention in debates about the modes of film-making that diverge from and oppose the mainstream." -- Back cover

Summary: "This comprehensive historical account demonstrates the rich diversity in 1970s British experimental filmmaking. 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"-- TROVE

Summary: Avant-garde film is almost indefinable. It is in a constant state of change and redefinition. In his highly-acclaimed history of experimental film, A.L. Rees tracks the movement of the film avant-garde between the cinema and modern art (with its postmodern coda). But he also reconstitutes the film avant-garde as an independent form of art practice with its own internal logic and aesthetic discourse. In this revised and updated edition, Rees introduces experimental film and video to new readers interested in the wider cinema, as well as offering a guide to enthusiasts of avant-garde film and new media arts. Ranging from Cézanne and Dada, via Cocteau, Brakhage and Le Grice, to the new wave of British film and video artists from the 1990s to the present day, this expansive study situates avant-garde film between the cinema and the gallery, with many links to sonic as well as visual arts. The new edition includes a review of current scholarship in avant-garde film history and includes updated reading and viewing lists. It also features a new introduction and concluding chapter, which assess the rise of video projection in the gallery since the millennium, and describe new work by the latest generation of experimental film-makers. The new edition is richly illustrated with images of the art works discussed

Summary: "'A History of Video Art' is a critical introduction and guide to artists' video. It covers the period from the early 1960s - when video art first appeared as a distinctive medium - into the 1990s - when digital technology merged video's distinctive practice with that of independent film-making and photography. This artistic history is also a technological and a cultural history. A History of Video Art also sets its analysis of artistic practice firmly within the context of both the development of electronic imaging technology and the changing political and social climate." -- Publisher's website.

Summary: Interzone is specifically interested in arts practices in which the computer is the predominant medium, integrating and synthesising a range of diverse media. Its chronology is narrow and deals with works produced from the early 1990s to the present. Media arts have come to be regarded as the signature form of this period, the art of its time. But the discussion of media art is not exclusively an issue to do with emerging technologies and how artists use them. It also concerns the ways in which artists explore the social and cultural implications of the very technologies they are working with. The intervention of the computer has given rise to complex new forms of knowledge, disturbing new ways of thinking abut what it means to be alive in the age of advanced technology.

Summary: "In their use of home movies, collages of photographs and live footage, moving image artists explore the wish to see dead loved ones living. This study scrutinizes emotions and sensations surrounding mortality and longing. Its focus is on love, tenderness, and eroticism, on the undoing of the self in desire and loss, and on the pursuit of relations with a missing other. In dialogue with Judith Butler on greivability, and Giorgio Agamben on bare life, Emma Wilson traces connections between imaging of intimate losses and public acts of mourning in response to atrocity, the Shoah and Hurricane Katrina. The book lays out a series of sensitive new readings of works by Agnes Varda, Pedro Almodovar, Ingmar Bergman, Sophie Calle, and many others. Attending to images of tactility, to fine details of texture, light, and affect, it re-imagines the role of the sensuous in lens-based art. " -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: Making Images Move reveals a new history of cinema by uncovering its connections to other media and art forms. In this richly illustrated volume, Gregory Zinman explores how moving-image artists who worked in experimental film pushed the medium toward abstraction through a number of unconventional filmmaking practices, including painting and scratching directly on the film strip; deteriorating film with water, dirt, and bleach; and applying materials such as paper and glue. This book provides a comprehensive history of this tradition of “handmade cinema” from the early twentieth century to the present, opening up new conversations about the production, meaning, and significance of the moving image. From painted film to kinetic art, and from psychedelic light shows to video synthesis, Gregory Zinman recovers the range of forms, tools, and intentions that make up cinema’s shadow history, deepening awareness of the intersection of art and media in the twentieth century, and anticipating what is to come. -- publisher's web site

Summary: Memory works in a myriad ways: it can trick, it can go missing, it can confuse, and it can lay claim to undiscovered truths. The moving image has taken a wondrous path through memory over the last century. With the increasing creative potential of digital technologies, filmmakers and artists can express a multitude of parallel memories at once. This collection of works is not so much about what we remember, but how we remember through the moving image. Remembrance and the Moving Image is the first in a series of publications dedicated to the Exhibition Collection of the ACMI. [Taken from Preface.]

Video has metamorphosed from technology to medium, with a set of aesthetic languages that are specific to it, and current critical debates on new media still need to recognize this." - taken from back cover

Summary: "From cliche to mini revolution, music videos have a few minutes of music and images to make their mark. Over the last 30 years, promotional films for bands have developed into a very influential cultural form, affecting film, advertising and, more generally, the pace and rhythm of visual culture. Today, the exploratory edges of music video reveal many intersections between visual artists and commercial videodirectors. Video Hits: Art & Music Video brings together works by music video directors and visual artists, and offers an original and challenging framework for the MTV generation to engage with a form of popular culture that has defined a new aesthetic."
