A History of American Movies; A Film-by-Film Look at the Art, Craft, and Business of Cinema
A History of American Movies; A Film-by-Film Look at the Art, Craft, and Business of Cinema
In A History of American Movies: A Film-by-Film Look at the Art, Craft and Business of Cinema, Paul Monaco provides a survey of the narrative feature film from the 1920s to the present. The book focuses on 170 of the most highly regarded and recognized feature films selected by the Hollywood establishment: each Oscar winner for Best Picture, as well as those voted the greatest by members of the American Film Institute.By focusing on a select group of films that represent the epitome of these collaborations, Monaco provides an essential history of one of the modern world's most complex and successful cultural institutions: Hollywood. Divided into three sections, "Classic Hollywood, 1927-1948," "Hollywood In Transition, 1949-1974," and "The New Hollywood, 1975 To The Present," Monaco examines some of the most memorable works in cinematic history, including The General, Wings, Bringing Up Baby, Gone with the Wind, Citizen Kane, Casablanca, On the Waterfront, The Searchers, Psycho, West Side Story, The Godfather, Cabaret, Raging Bull, Rain Man, Toy Story, and Saving Private Ryan.This is the only book that thoroughly treats Hollywood—and the most significant movies that it has made—simultaneously as the coming together of an art, a craft, and a business. This approach provides unique insight into the workings of one of the most accomplished and successful art forms in human history: the Hollywood feature film.
Directory of World Cinema: American Independent
Directory of World Cinema: American Independent
With high-profile Academy Award nominations and an increasing number of big-name actors eager to sign on to promising projects, independent films have been at the forefront in recent years like never before. But the roots of such critical and commercial successes as The Hurt Locker and Precious can be traced to the first boom of independent cinema in the 1960s, when a raft of talented filmmakers emerged to capture the attention of a rapidly growing audience of young viewers.A thorough overview of a thriving sector of cultural production, the Directory of World Cinema: American Independent chronicles the rise of the independent sector as an outlet for directors who challenge the status quo, yet still produce accessible feature films that find wide audiences and enjoy considerable box office appeal, without sacrificing critical legitimacy. Key directors are interviewed and profiled, and a sizeable selection of films are referenced and reviewed. More than a dozen sub-genres - including African American cinema, queer cinema, documentary, familial dysfunction and exploitation - are individually considered, with an emphasis on their ability to exemplify and engage with tensions inherent in American society. Copious illustrations and a range of research resources round out the volume, making this a truly comprehensive guide.At a time when independent films are enjoying considerable cultural cachet, this easy-to-use yet authoritative guide will find an eager audience in media historians, film studies scholars and movie buffs alike.

Η ΕΦΕΥΡΕΣΗ ΤΟΥ ΕΡΩΤΑ
Ο Αντρέι Σασκόφ επαναφέρει το cut out στον 21ο αιώνα, εκμεταλλευόμενος τα σύγχρονα τεχνικά μέσα, στα πλαίσια της πτυχιακής του εργασίας για το Πανεπιστήμιο της Αγίας Πετρούπολης. Στο Invention of Love, ένας κόσμος φτιαγμένος από σκιές, περιγράμματα και αφαιρετικό σκίτσο απαράμιλλης ομορφιάς, αφηγείται μια τραγική ιστορία αγάπης Δονκιχωτικών καταβολών. Στο συγκεκριμένο είδος κινουμένου σχεδίου, συνήθως, η παντομίμα αντικαθιστά τον διάλογο.
