The End of Cinema? - A Medium in Crisis in the Digital Age (Hardcover): Andre Gaudreault, Philippe Marion The End of Cinema? - A Medium in Crisis in the Digital Age (Hardcover)
Andre Gaudreault, Philippe Marion; Translated by Timothy Barnard
R2,934 Discovery Miles 29 340 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Is a film watched on a video screen still cinema? Have digital compositing, motion capture, and other advanced technologies remade or obliterated the craft? Rooted in their hypothesis of the "double birth of media," Andre Gaudreault and Philippe Marion take a positive look at cinema's ongoing digital revolution and reaffirm its central place in a rapidly expanding media landscape. The authors begin with an overview of the extreme positions held by opposing camps in the debate over cinema: the "digitalphobes" who lament the implosion of cinema and the "digitalphiles" who celebrate its new, vital incarnation. Throughout, they remind readers that cinema has never been a static medium but a series of processes and transformations powering a dynamic art. From their perspective, the digital revolution is the eighth major crisis in the history of motion pictures, with more disruptions to come. Brokering a peace among all sides, Gaudreault and Marion emphasize the cultural practice of cinema over rigid claims on its identity, moving toward a common conception of cinema to better understand where it is headed next.

South American Cinema - A Critical Filmography, 1915-1994 (Paperback): Timothy Barnard, Peter Rist South American Cinema - A Critical Filmography, 1915-1994 (Paperback)
Timothy Barnard, Peter Rist
R1,251 Discovery Miles 12 510 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Originally issued in hardcover in 1996 by Garland Publishing, this important reference work is now available in paperback for a wider audience. A distinguished team of contributors has compiled entries on 140 significant South American feature films from the silent era until 1994. The entries discuss each film's subject matter, critical reception, and social and political contexts, as well as its production, distribution, and exhibition history, including technical credits. The entries are grouped by country and arranged chronologically. Both fiction and documentary films (some no longer in existence) are included, as well as extensive title, name, and subject indexes and glossaries of film and foreign terms.

Film and Attraction - From Kinematography to Cinema (Hardcover): Andre Gaudreault Film and Attraction - From Kinematography to Cinema (Hardcover)
Andre Gaudreault; Translated by Timothy Barnard; Foreword by Rick Altman
R2,244 Discovery Miles 22 440 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Establishing a new vision for film history, "Film and Attraction: From Kinematography to Cinema" urges readers to consider the importance of complex social and cultural forces in early film. Andre Gaudreault argues that Edison and the Lumieres did not invent cinema; they invented a device. Explaining how this device, the kinematograph, gave rise to cinema is the challenge he sets for himself in this volume. He highlights the forgotten role of the film lecturer and examines film's relationship with other visual spectacles in fin-de-siecle culture, from magic sketches to fairy plays and photography to vaudeville. In reorienting the study of film history, Film and Attraction offers a candid reassessment of Georges Melies' rich oeuvre and includes a new, unabridged translation of Melies' famous 1907 text "Kinematographic Views." A foreword by Rick Altman stresses the relevance of Gaudreault's concerns to Anglophone film scholarship.
