Addressing representation and identity in a variety of
production styles and genres, including experimental film and
documentary, independent and mainstream film, and television drama,
Filming Difference poses fundamental questions about the ways in
which the art and craft of filmmaking force creative people to
confront stereotypes and examine their own identities while
representing the complexities of their subjects.
Selections range from C. A. Griffith's "Del Otro Lado: Border
Crossings, Disappearing Souls, and Other Transgressions" and Celine
Perrenas Shimizu's "Pain and Pleasure in the Flesh of Machiko
Saito's Experimental Movies" to Christopher Bradley's "I Saw You
Naked: 'Hard' Acting in 'Gay' Movies," along with Kevin Sandler's
interview with Paris Barclay, Yuri Makino's interview with Chris
Eyre, and many other perspectives on the implications of film
production, writing, producing, and acting.
Technical aspects of the craft are considered as well, including
how contributors to filmmaking plan and design films and episodic
television that feature difference, and how the tools of
cinema--such as cinematography and lighting--influence portrayals
of gender, race, and sexuality. The struggle between economic
pressures and the desire to produce thought-provoking, socially
conscious stories forms another core issue raised in Filming
Difference. Speaking with critical rigor and creative experience,
the contributors to this collection communicate the power of their
media.
