Intellect Books Directory of World Cinema: Scotland
Book SynopsisScotland, its people and its history have long been a source of considerable fascination and inspiration for filmmakers, film scholars and film audiences worldwide. A significant number of critically acclaimed films made in the last twenty-five years have ignited passionate conversations and debates about Scottish national cinema. Its historical, industrial and cultural complexities and contradictions have made it all the more a focus of attention and interest for both popular audiences and scholarly critics. Directory of World Cinema: Scotland provides an introduction to many of Scottish cinema’s most important and influential themes and issues, films and filmmakers, while adding to the ongoing discussion concerning how to make sense of Scotland’s cinematic traditions and contributions. Chapters on filmmakers range from Murray Grigor to Ken Loach, and Gaelic filmmaking, radical and engaged cinema, production, finance and documentary are just a few of the topics explored. Film reviews range from popular box office hits such as Braveheart, and Trainspotting to lesser known but equally engaging independent and lower budget productions, such as Shell and Orphans. This book is both a stimulating and accessible resource for a wide range of readers interested in Scottish film.Table of ContentsIntroduction by the Editors Industry Spotlight Production Marketing Mix Finance Location Gaelic Film-making In Scotland Cultural Crossover Radical and Engaged Cinema Directors Bill Douglas Bill Forsyth Murray Grigor Ken Loach David Mackenzie Peter Mullan Lynne Ramsay Margaret Tait Mythic Visions: Critique and Counter-Critique From Social Realism To Social Art Cinema and Beyond Comedy, Fantasy and Horror Documentary

Intellect Books Directory of World Cinema: Britain 2
Book SynopsisThe first volume of the Directory of World Cinema: Britain provided an overview of British cinema from its earliest days to the present. In this, the second volume, the contributors focus on specific periods and trace the evolutions of individual genres and directors. A complementary edition rather than an update of its predecessor, the book offers essays on war and family films, as well as on LGBT cinema and representations of disability in British films. Contributors consider established British directors such as Ken Loach and Danny Boyle as well as newcomer Ben Wheatley, who directed the fabulously strange A Field in England. This volume also shines the spotlight on the British Film Institute and its role in funding, preservation and education in relation to British cinema. A must read for any fan of film, the history of the United Kingdom, or international artistic traditions, Directory of World Cinema: Britain 2 will find an appreciative audience both within and outside academia.Table of ContentsIntroduction Film of the Year: The Selfish Giant (2013) Disability In British Cinema Industrial Spotlight: The British Film Institute Cultural Crossover: British LGBT Cinema On Location: Manchester Directors Ben Wheatley Gurinder Chadha Ken Russell Danny Boyle Comedy Crime Documentary Horror Short Films Science Fiction Social Realism War Musicals Family Films Arthouse Heritage

Intellect Books Directory of World Cinema: China 2
Book SynopsisSince the publication of the first volume of Directory of World Cinema: China, the Chinese film industry has intensified its efforts to make inroads into the American market. The 2012 acquisition of US theatre chain AMC and visual effects house Digital Domain by Chinese firms testifies to the global ambitions of China’s powerhouse film industry. Yet Chinese cinema has had few crossover hits in recent years to match the success of such earlier films as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; House of Flying Daggers and Kung Fu Hustle. Yet even overseas revenue for Chinese movies has dwindled, domestic market growth has surged year after year. Indeed, annual production output remains healthy, and the daily expansion of screens in second-or third-tier cities attracts audiences whose tastes favour domestic films over foreign imports.Trade Review'With in-depth articles on prominent film stars and directors, this hefty book (330 pages) is a great resource for those in the academic field or just curious minds who want to know about Asian film beyond the box-office hits.' -- Agne Serpytyte, The Asian Cinema BlogTable of ContentsIntroduction by the Editor Chinese Film Festivals Contemporary Taiwanese Cinema Recent Taiwanese Cinema Early Hong Kong Cinema Stars Leslie Cheung Maggie Cheung Stephen Chow Alexander Fu Sheng Bruce Lee Tony Leung Chiu-Wai Ruan Lingyu Jimmy Wang Yu Michelle Yeoh Directors: Mainland China Jia Zhangke Lou Ye Zhang Yimou Directors: Taiwan Ang Lee Edward Yang Directors: Hong Kong Peter Chan Ho-Sun King Hu Pang Ho-Cheung Wan Hoi-Ling Yonfan Drama: Mainland China Drama: Hong Kong & Taiwan Queer Chinese Cinema Kung-Fu & Wuxia Pian Heroic Bloodshed & Crime Cinema Comedy/Musical

Intellect Books Directory of World Cinema: Iran 2
Book SynopsisWorking at the intersection of religion and ever-shifting political, economic and social environments, Iranian cinema has produced some of the most critically lauded films in the world today. The first volume in the Directory of World Cinema: Iran turned the spotlight on the award-winning cinema of Iran, with particular attention to the major genres and movements, historical turning points and prominent figures that have helped shape it. Considering a wide range of genres, including Film Farsi, New Wave, war film, art house film and women’s cinema, the book was greeted with enthusiasm by film studies scholars, students working on alternative or national cinema and fans and aficionados of Iranian film. Building on the momentum and influence of its predecessor, Directory of World Cinema: Iran 2 will be welcomed by all seeking an up-to-date and comprehensive guide to Iranian cinema.Trade Review'The meat of the book is a collection of essays and reviews concerning several different subgenres of cinema in Iran. These chapters include essays on crime thrillers, comedies, and diasporic cinema. This organization scheme makes it very easy for both casual readers, who will likely skip around or look up directors they recognize, and serious enthusiasts, who will be able to search the book for exactly what they want. [...] I would recommend this to anyone looking to learn more about Iranian cinema. Iran is one of the most interesting areas in film today, bringing a unique perspective to the art that is examined under a powerful lens in this book. For both amateur film fans coming off viewing hits like Children of Heaven (Bacheha-Ye aseman, Majidi, 1997), and serious film hobbyists seeking to find the more obscure directors and films.' -- Emmett Williams, Film MattersPraise for the first book 'Successfully maps the long history of creativity, intellectualism and imagination of [Iran]. This book makes an important contribution to the area of Iranian cinema and film and is recommended to those who want to know more about Iran and its extraordinary cinema' -- Media International Australia, Arezou Zalipour'Iran 2 continues the examination of Iranian cinema begun with the 2012 first edition. As he did in that earlier edition, editor and filmmaker Jahed covers a film of the year, interviews a prominent filmmaker, indexes the films discussed ("Filmography"), lists valuable websites ("Iranian Cinema Online"), and provides recommended readings in a list that expands the one compiled several years ago. The emphasis of the treatment here is mainly historical, and covers the development of Iranian film from silent film to the postrevolutionary era. Additionally, some thematic essays discuss depictions of children, war, and diversity in Iranian cinema. Iran 2 focuses on directors and types of cinema in the national oeuvre, with a short bow to thematic analysis in a chapter on the image of women in Iranian film. Specifically, short chapters on seven directors (Farrokh Ghaffari, Bahram Beyzaie, Sohrab Shahid-Sales, Amir Naderi, Rakhshan Bani-Etemad, Majid Majidi, and Asghar Farhadi) precede others dealing with various types of Iranian film—documentary, social drama, crime thriller, animation, comedy, political films, underground films, and diasporic cinema. The two titles in the publisher's series complement each other and, taken together, are highly useful overviews of Iranian cinema for academic and public libraries.' -- C.

Book SynopsisPart of the Directory of World Cinema series, this title includes contributions from some of the leading academics in the field. It features film recommendations from a range of genres for those interested in watching more cinema from these regions. It also features comprehensive filmography as an index.
