A fully bilingual catalogue (English/Japanese) for an exhibition of the Japanese video/film artist Yu Araki, at The Container, Tokyo. The catalogue explores in writings and images Araki's practice and the exhibition "Wrong Translation," featuring a video installation inspired by Araki's recent residency in Santander, Spain, summer 2013. The video installation, entitled "ANGELO LIVES," makes references to Shusaku Endo's novel "Silence" (1966), and fictitiously narrated by Anjiro, a Japanese convicted murderer who fled Japan to the Malaysian state Malacca in the 16th century, returning later back to Japan with Saint Francis Xavier and two additional Jesuits, as an interpreter, in what is documented as the first Jesuit mission to Japan. The installation also forges false connections between the spread of Christianity to the new world and the export of olive oil. The Container, as the name suggests, is no more than a constructed shipping container (485x180x177cm) in Nakameguro, Tokyo. The exhibition space, the brainchild of Tokyo-based curator Shai Ohayon, invites Japanese and international artists to make site-specific installations four times a year. Each installation remains on view to the public for two-and-a-half months. www.the-container.com

Every producer aspires to design an entertainment brand that can grow into a pop icon, a brand whose storyworld or hero has enough creative potential to power spin-offs and reboots, theme park rides and acres of merchandise. So how can independents achieve this degree of success if they don't have a hundred million dollars to spend on a marketing campaign or the time to gamble on a viral video or game? In "Transmedia 2.0: How to Create an Entertainment Brand Using a Transmedial Approach To Storytelling," Nuno Bernardo will show readers how to use the transmedia approach to build an entertainment brand that can conquer global audiences, readers and users in a myriad of platforms. "Transmedia 2.0" is the follow up to the 2011 bestseller "The Producers Guide to Transmedia" and draws on Nuno Bernardo's experience of multi-platform storytelling and production. Inspired by Orson Welles radio play "War of the Worlds," Nuno has being exploring new forms of interactive and immersive storytelling for the past decade. Using his unique approach to transmedia, Nuno has produced more than 200 hours of multi-platform content; from feature films and TV shows to mobile apps and books. His transmedia franchises have been adapted all across the globe, from the UK to China, conquering tens of millions of loyal fans and featuring in the world's greatest film and television festivals along the way. Through his own experience, Nuno has developed a step-by-step approach to building long-running multi-platform entertainment brands and loyal viewing communities. Now he is sharing his knowledge with filmmakers, content producers for television, gaming and web, marketers and brand managers, audiovisual and media students. All of the aforementioned have one thing in common; they want to learn a trick or two about how to use stories and a transmedial approach to marketing and communication to attract audiences and users to their stories and products. This book analyses how multi-platform storytelling and distribution can help producers to establish true entertainment brands and intellectual property. It also features a series of real case studies discussing ideas and concepts of how transmedia can be key to promoting and engaging with audiences around a traditional TV show, feature film, game or consumer brand.

The 0ne Rupee Film Project is an independent and ultra-low-budget crowd-funded feature length docu-fiction out of India. The makers of the film had to go through a 474 day long fundraising campaign. They asked for a minimum contribution of one rupee from everyone they came across. Thus, 2,85,000 Indian rupees could be raised to complete the production and the initial stages of post-production. The film is titled Aashmani Jawaharat aka Diamonds in the Sky but the campaign had been so huge that it is still popularly recognized as the one rupee film. The books of this series contains stories, backgrounds and experiences the makers of the 0ne Rupee Film Project had during this extra-ordinary journey of theirs. If you are interested in what kind of reality the marginal independent filmmakers have to face or what unique face of reality they see everyday, this book will surely amuse you.

The phenomenon of risk has been seriously neglected in connection with the study of film, yet many of those who write about film seem to have intuitions about how various forms of risk-taking shape aspects of the filmmaking or film-viewing process. Film and Risk fills this gap as editor Mette Hjort and interdisciplinary contributors discuss film's relation to all types of risk. Bringing together scholars from philosophy, anthropology, film studies, economics, and cultural studies, as well as experts from the fields of law, filmmaking, and photojournalism, this volume discusses risk from multiple intriguing angles. In thirteen chapters, contributors consider concrete risks (e.g., stunts or financial decisions); theoretical aesthetic and artistic risks (e.g., filmmakers who incorporate excessive hazards into their films); and the real-world jeopardy spectators might put themselves in when viewing films. The first three chapters tackle the conceptual terrain that is relevant to understanding risk in film. The next three chapters focus on risk as it pertains to the practice of filmmaking. Subsequent chapters deal with economic risk and the role that risk has in the development of film's institutional landscape. The scholarship in this collection is impressive, boasting some of the top writers in their respective fields. Through the contributors' clear and thorough discussions, this cohesive but diverse collection shows that risk arises in many different areas that tend to be thought of as central to film studies. Scholars of film studies will appreciate this daring and inventive collection, and readers with a general interest in film studies will enjoy its accessible style.

Given its ubiquity in popular culture and its place in the hearts of generations of moviegoers, one wonders, after all this time, if there could be anything more we don't already know about "Casablanca." No matter how familiar the images, how memorable the lines, how timeless the story, the answer is, yes, there's a whole book worth of things most will be "shocked, shocked" to learn. "The Essential Casablanca" is brimming with amazing true stories, corrected myths, and particular particulars about the most popular movie in the history of cinema. It's not meant to provide a comprehensive nor com-plete academic reference, but rather an accessible distillation, a delightful confection in its own right, about a film that is one of the most beloved pieces of motion picture art and one that has resonated across nearly three-quarters of a century.

Considering how culturally indispensable digital technology is today, it is ironic that computer-generated art was attacked when it burst onto the scene in the early 1960s. In fact, no other twentieth-century art form has elicited such a negative and hostile response. When the Machine Made Art examines the cultural and critical response to computer art, or what we refer to today as digital art. Tracing the heated debates between art and science, the societal anxiety over nascent computer technology, and the myths and philosophies surrounding digital computation, Taylor is able to identify the destabilizing forces that shape and eventually fragment the computer art movement.

By 1937, Cary Grant had invented a man-of-the-world, the epitome of sophistication, class, and refinement. In his words, "I pretended to be somebody I wanted to be and I finally became that person. Or he became me. Or we met at some point."This fizzy cocktail of a book lifts the veil off the debonair screen persona to reveal a real-life man full of inconsistencies and incongruities. It provides an unvarnished portrait of someone constantly in conflict - antic, serious, funny, poised, and a romantic who struggled in his own love life. You get a little history and a bit of sociology. But the most fun comes from an abundant helping of bon mots. His contemporaries as well as subsequent observers have plenty to say about the man who became Cary Grant. And his own undisguised words provide a sublime, truthful, and candid portrait of a curiously uncommon character.

This is Vol. 2 of The Interviews, a sequel to Every Step a Struggle. While Vol. 1 recalled the performers who fought to give black artists a voice and a presence in film and on stage, this new ground-breaking book focuses on the personalities who replaced the pioneers and refused to abide by Jim Crow traditions. Presented against a detailed background of the revolutionary post-World War II era up to the mid-1970s, the individual views of Mae Mercer, Brock Peters, Jim Brown, Ivan Dixon, James Whitmore, William Marshall and Ruby Dee in heretofore unpublished conversations from the past reveal just how tumultuous and extraordinary the technological, political, and social changes were for the artists and the film industry. Using extensive documentation, hundreds of films, and fascinating private recollections, Dr. Manchel puts a human face both on popular culture and race relations. "A worthy successor to Every Step a Struggle, Exits and Entrances combines superb historical research and astute analytical insights with the inimitable voices of the next generation of African-American artists. This book ensures that the contributions to American cinema of these determined and courageous rebels will never be forgotten. The film studies community owes a debt of gratitude to Manchel for this, the finest achieve- ment of his illustrious career. Exits and Entrances should be required reading for everyone interested in the politics of race in America, film studies, and African-American studies. It belongs in every research library. Denise Youngblood, University of Vermont, author of Cinematic Cold War. "Using the method of oral history and the mature thinking of a senior scholar, Exits and Entrances enhances our understanding of the difficult slog to create a truthful, "round" image of African-Americans in U.S. commercial films. This collection is a gold mine of information for future research and should be in all libraries which value film research." Peter C. Rollins, Emeritus EIC, Film & History: An Interdisciplinary Journal

"This is a close up look at what made a great film studio great, by a man who was a truly vital part of that story." - Woody Allen

"A forthright compendium of some of the most important films and film people of the late 20thCentury. David Picker is as compelling a memoirist as he is producer." - Steve Martin

"Without David Picker there would be no James Bond, no Beatles' A Hard Day's Night, no Midnight Cowboy, no Lenny, no Ordinary People, or dozens of other iconic films. David Picker loves movies, and the movie business itself, and his life along the celluloid trail is not to be missed." - Tom Rothman

"David Picker is the Answer. The Question: Why did Billy Wilder, Federico Fellini, Ingmar Bergman, John Schlesinger, Bernardo Bertolucci, among others of the greatest directors of the 60's and 70's, choose to work for United Artists? Picker's focus group was his gut; his handshake was his word; and his investment in talent gave them free reign. I'd advise you to go for it." - Norman Lear

"It was a very exciting time to be working with United Artists and David's team - we did OK " - Paul McCartney

"The composer who does not propose solutions is one who simply follows instructions." (Conrado Xalabarder) The Music Script in Film deals with the use of music in films, its effects on the audience (both emotionally and rationally) and emphasizes how to write a comprehensible musical discourse in a structured and orderly manner. It is not written only for composers, but also for film directors (to whom it may facilitate in decision making) and any person interested in films. This book is not about musicology, industry business nor recording, it is about cinematography. It explains the elements that make up film music so that they may be understood not only by musicians but by anyone. Everything dealt with here is taken from what great film composers have used in the course of long decades and that is still pertinent in cinema today. The Music Script in Film fills a gap not covered to date in the field of music for film, a topic of growing interest. Written to be both entertaining and educational, the book aims to interest a broad audience-not only composers and students of music but also film directors, those studying film and movie fans in general. Translated to English by Australian author and novelist Gloria Montero More info at: http: //themusicscriptinfilm.wordpress.com/

This book presents an investigation of the modification and transformation of the vampire myth; contending that the modern vampire has evolved from a figure of fear to one of domestication and compassion. Researching into vampires and taking into account the historical evolution and contemporary significance this book will explore myth, repressed memories, desires and primordial images giving rise to the archetypal hero that is the modern vampire. Also explored in this book are the repressed fears and desires of oedipal origins, driven by the Freudian model of the mind. With reference to Sigmund Freud's models and using Carl Jung's framework, including the collective i.e. the Shadow, Id, Ego, Superego will be explored in order to investigate this change from 'Beast to Beauty'. Studying cultural archetypes in relation to belief and historical evidence and following Freudian and Jungian approaches to psychoanalysis provides a pragmatic base for understanding the human psyche. In response, the following film and television representations of the vampire show the evolution from a figure of fear to a figure of compassion and domestication.

A cynical case study of the feature film production of All God's Creatures written by multi-hyphenate writer/producer/director/actor Josh Folan, "Filmmaking, the Hard Way" puts low budget filmmaking under the microscope by analyzing the process of making a film from top to bottom with an honesty and transparency rarely found in writings of its kind. "Filmmaking, the Hard Way" lauds itself as THE indie filmmaker bible for problem solving at the micro-budget level and is written in a voice intended to speak to the reader as a peer, not a pupil. "Josh has spent months processing and organizing everything he learned along the way and turned it into a book that can help you do the same. This is EXACTLY what indie filmmaking is all about. You would be hard-pressed to find another book as detailed and direct about the costs associated with getting this process right, the pitfalls, the tiny windows of opportunity that you must recognize and act upon immediately..." - Ryan Gielen, Award Winning Filmmaker
