Art in the Cinema: The Mid-Century Art Documentary by Steven Jacobs, Birgit Cleppe
English | Oct 15, 2020 | ISBN: 1788313674 | 256 pages | PDF | 3 MB
In the 1940s and 1950s, hundreds of art documentaries were produced, many of them being highly personal, poetic, reflexive and experimental films that offer a thrilling cinematic experience. With the exception of Alain Resnais's Van Gogh (1948), Henri-Georges Clouzot's Le Mystère Picasso (1956) and a few others, most of them have received only scant scholarly attention. This book aims to rectify this situation by discussing the most lyrical, experimental and influential post-war art documentaries, connecting them to contemporaneous museological developments and Euro-American cultural and political relationships. With contributors with expertise across art history and film studies, Art in the Cinema draws attention to film projects by André Bazin, Ilya Bolotowsky, Paul Haesaerts, Carlo Ragghianti, John Read, Dudley Shaw Aston, Henri Storck and Willard Van Dyke among others.

Howard Ingham, "Cult Cinema: A Personal Exploration of Sects, Brainwashing and Bad Religion in Film and Television"
English | 2021 | ASIN: B08WRMFZ33 | 262 pages | AZW3 | 0.55 MB
Religious extremism is one of our most acute current anxieties, but it has been with us for centuries. And from the birth of Christianity right through to the post-Trump era, it has always been tied to personalities and the cults they inspire. And the stories we tell about them reflect that. Cult Cinema uses cinematic and televisual depictions of isolated sects, self-help pyramid schemes, pagan village conspiracies, evangelical grifters and more to shine a lens upon what happens when belief goes bad. Drawing from sources ranging from situation comedy to exploitation horror and beyond, this book examines why people join abusive religious groups, what we really mean by "brainwashing", and what it means to escape. Howard David Ingham has been writing about media, horror, the occult and the storytelling of religious belief for two decades. Their last book, We Don't Go Back: A Watcher's Guide to Folk Horror, was nominated for a 2018 Bram Stoker Award (Superior Achievement in Nonfiction). "A personal and cinematic journey through the strange and terrifying world of cults, this is a deeply honest and empathetic look at how people fall into - and escape from - damaging group dynamics. Cult Cinema is a breathtaking achievement..." Gwendolyn Kiste, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Rust Maidens

Beyond the Soundtrack: Representing Music in Cinema By Lawrence Kramer; Daniel Goldmark; Richard D. Leppert
2007 | 333 Pages | ISBN: 0520250699 | PDF | 3 MB
This groundbreaking collection by the most distinguished musicologists and film scholars in their fields gives long overdue recognition to music as equal to the image in shaping the experience of film. Refuting the familiar idea that music serves as an unnoticed prop for narrative, these essays demonstrate that music is a fully imagined and active power in the worlds of film. Even where films do give it a supporting role--and many do much more--music makes an independent contribution. Drawing on recent advances in musicology and cinema studies, Beyond the Soundtrack interprets the cinematic representation of music with unprecedented richness. The authors cover a broad range of narrative films, from the "silent" era (not so silent) to the present.
