Imagine attending a fascinating film forum among a distinguished
and varied panel of cinema legends. An afternoon or evening where
contemporary filmmakers from around the world--Kazakhstan, Turkey,
Macedonia, Portugal, Chile, Argentina, Egypt, Cameroon, Australia,
the Philippines, South Africa, Greece, Portugal, Sweden, Japan, the
People's Republic of China, Mexico, Poland, the United States,
Italy, the United Kingdom, and France--gather together to discuss
how they arrive at the creative choices that bring their film
projects to life.
Can't spare the time from work or class? Travel expense too great?
"What? You can't even find such a collaborative event?"
Then imagine curling up with a good book, maybe a shot of espresso
in hand, and becoming engrossed in the exciting and informative
conversation that Elena Oumano has ingeniously crafted from her
personal and individual interviews with these artists. Straying far
from the usual choppy question-and-answer format, "Cinema Today"
saves you from plowing through another tedious read, in which the
same topics and issues are directed to each subject, over and
over-an experience that is like being trapped in a revolving door.
Oumano stops that revolving door by following a lively
symposium-in-print format, with the filmmakers' words and thoughts
grouped together under various key cinema topics. It is as though
these experts are speaking to each other and you are their
audience--collectively they reflect on and explore issues and
concerns of modern filmmaking, from the practical to the aesthetic,
including the process, cinematic rhythm and structure, and the many
aspects of the media: business, the viewer, and cinema's place in
society. Whether you are a movie lover, a serious student of
cinema, or simply interested in how we communicate in today's
global village through films that so profoundly affect the world,
"Cinema Today" is for you.
