Constantine Santas encourages us to wonder why film critics have so routinely dismissed the epic film. In The Epic in Film, he argues that "blockbuster" and "artistic" are not mutually exclusive terms, and, perhaps more importantly, epic film is an inherently profound genre in its ability to tap into a nation's, and sometimes humanity's, dreams and fears. Why do we see dozens and dozens of films based on the King Arthur legend? Why would a presidential-hopeful borrow a phrase, "Read my lips," from Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry? Why do war epics proliferate in times of war or national crisis? Why are epics as a whole the most popular movie genre? Start with an individual quest of some kind undertaken by an attractive hero or heroine, add the weight of a nation, and perhaps humanity, into that character's struggle, sprinkle some awe-inspiring special effects and a general sense of largesse, and don't forget the happy ending; and there you have a recipe for a film that can contain the deepest emotions―fear, hope, insecurity, pride―of a nation, and, sometimes, a world. Whether you love Gone with the Wind and hate Troy; find Akira Kurosawa's films brilliant; or marvel over the depth of the Matrix trilogy, film buffs will want to read this first book-length treatment of the epic, a wildly popular, infinitely fascinating, and critically underappreciated genre.

Valerie C. Gilbert, "Women and Mixed Race Representation in Film: Eight Star Profiles"
English | ISBN: 1476663386 | 2021 | 302 pages | EPUB | 11 MB
This book uses a black/white interracial lens to examine the lives and careers of eight prominent American-born actresses from the silent age through the studio era, New Hollywood, and into the present century: Josephine Baker, Nina Mae McKinney, Fredi Washington, Lena Horne, Dorothy Dandridge, Lonette McKee, Jennifer Beals and Halle Berry. Combining biography with detailed film readings, the author fleshes out the tragic mulatto stereotype, while at the same time exploring concepts and themes such as racial identity, the one-drop rule, passing, skin color, transracial adoption, interracial romance, and more. With a wealth of background information, this study also places these actresses in historical context, providing insight into the construction of race, both onscreen and off. Award-winning book that recently earned acclaim from the prestigious Next Generation Indie Book Awards!

The Peripatetic Frame: Images of Walking in Film By Thomas Deane Tucker
2019 | 168 Pages | ISBN: 1474409296 | PDF | 4 MB
From cinema's earliest days, walking and filmmaking have been intrinsically linked. Technologically, culturally and aesthetically, the pioneers of cinema were not only interested in using the camera to scientifically study ambulatory motion, but were also keen to capture the speed and mobile culture of late 19th-century urban life. Photographers such as Felix Nadar took their cameras into the Parisian streets and boulevards as mechanised flâneurs, ushering us into the age of the 'mobilised virtual gaze'. But if photography could only embalm modernity in an instant of time, the cinema brought these instants to life again. From Muybridge and Marey's photographic studies of motion to Charlie Chaplin's character 'The Tramp', and from the Steadicam to the police procedural, Thomas Deane Tucker explores the intertwined relationship between cinema and walking from its very first steps - breaking new ground in motion studies and providing a bold new perspective on film history.

The Journalist in British Fiction and Film: Guarding the Guardians from 1900 to the Present by Sarah Lonsdale
English | July 14, 2016 | ISBN: 1474220533, 1474220541 | True EPUB | 296 pages | 0.4 MB
Why did Edwardian novelists portray journalists as swashbuckling, truth-seeking super-heroes whereas post-WW2 depictions present the journalist as alienated outsider? Why are contemporary fictional journalists often deranged, murderous or intensely vulnerable? As newspaper journalism faces the double crisis of a lack of trust post-Leveson, and a lack of influence in the fragmented internet age, how do cultural producers view journalists and their role in society today?

Baghetti, "Italian Industrial Literature and Film "
English | ISBN: 1788745981 | 2021 | 568 pages | PDF | 13 MB
Questo volume [...] non si limita a descrivere, ma ricompone un quadro finora assente. I 37 capitoli che compongono questo volume-monstre dettagliano aspetti, figure, momenti spesso messi da parte nel dibattito. ... Attraverso i diversi capitoli il lettore percepisce la pervasività [dell'industria] che si fa ideologema, le sue diverse realizzazioni e simbolizzazioni artistiche (cinematografiche e letterarie), e si rende conto che non si tratta solo di una moda o un momentaneo interesse dovuto a qualche intellettuale innamorato degli operai.
