This is the first casebook to focus exclusively on the nonfiction film maker: his revolutionary techniques, his particular conceptions of his work, his unique artistic strategies, his creative and practical problems. In creating this study Alan Rosenthal has interviewed film makers whose work lies on the active growing edge of the medium: director-producers, writers, cameramen, editors- men and women who have in recent years pushed back the boundaries of cinematic convention and profoundly influenced our notions of photography, acting, and editing. Some films are covered by interviews with several members of the creative team, whose differing perspectives help to shape the final work." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Interviews with film makersISBN: 0520018885LON: 218982

Utopian television : Rossellini, Watkins, and Godard beyond cinema / Michael Cramer Minneapolis, MN: University of Minnesota Press, 2017.
Call No: 21(4) CRAAuthor: Cramer, Michael Place: Minneapolis, MNPublisher: University of Minnesota PressPubDate: 2017PhysDes: xxiii,276 p. : illustrations ; 22 cmSubject: TELEVISION, FILMS MADE FOR ; TELEVISION AND THE CINEMA. EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ; ROSSELLINI, ROBERTO ; WATKINS, PETER ; GODARD, JEAN-LUC ; WAR GAME, THE (UK, Peter Watkins, 1966) ; HISTOIRE(S) DU CINEMA (SZ/FR, Jean-Luc Godard, 1997) Summary: Television has long been a symbol of social and cultural decay, yet many in postwar Europe saw it as the medium with the greatest potential to help build a new society and create a new form of audiovisual art. Utopian Television examines works of the great filmmakers Roberto Rossellini, Peter Watkins, and Jean-Luc Godard, all of whom looked to television as a promising new medium even while remaining critical of its existing practices.
Utopian Television illustrates how each director imagined television’s improved or “utopian” version by drawing on elements that had come to characterize it by the early 1960s. Taking advantage of the public service model of Western European broadcasting, each used television to realize works that would never have been viable in the commercial cinema. All three directors likewise seized on television’s supposed affinity for information and its status as a “useful” medium, but attempted to join this utility with aesthetic experimentation, suggesting new ways to conceive of the relationship between aesthetics and information.
As beautifully written as it is theoretically rigorous, Utopian Television turns to the writing of Fredric Jameson and Ernst Bloch in treating the three directors’ television experiments as enactments of “utopia as method.” In doing so it reveals the extent to which the medium inspired and shaped hopes not only of a better future but of better moving image art as well. - publisher's web siteISBN: 9781517900397Contents: Contents -- Introduction.
