But then she became pregnant and it seemed like the worst idea in the world - not just to miss the birth of his first child, but the first 7 months of his life.

Out of that experience he has written an unprecedented portrait of Antarctica's most extraordinary residents, the emperor penguins. They march up to 100 miles over solid ice to reach their breeding grounds. They choose to breed in the depths of the worst winter on the planet; and in an unusual role reversal, the males incubate the eggs, fasting for over 100 days to ensure they introduce their chicks safely into their new frozen world. And they are uniquely vulnerable to the unprecedented melting of the polar ice cap.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn weaving their story with his epic journey, Lindsay has created a masterpiece of natural observation - and a deeply moving tale of human endeavour in the harshest environment on the planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'[McCrae's] \u003cb\u003eremarkable memoir\u003c\/b\u003e is rich in the technological and logistical challenges of filming in extreme conditions.

Already in the 1960s, in conversations with Glenn Gould for instance, Burton helped to create innovative ways of presenting music to new audiences. Following Sir David Frost's call to LWT\/ITV, Burton rose to prominence with presenting the award-winning arts series Aquarius (1970-1975).  The early 1970s saw the beginning of Burton's long association with Leonard Bernstein. Burton was at hand filming the maestro's educational programs, as well as concerts with the Vienna Philharmonic. Unforgettable are his chronicles of Bernstein's last years, culminating in a worldwide broadcast of the conductor's Berlin Freedom Concert after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Burton's gift for communicating music turned him into a celebrated Bernstein biographer. With multi award-winning television programmes to his name, such as the BBC's Young Musician of the Year, Burton left an indelible mark on Britain's music and arts broadcasting history.   Sir Humphrey Burton offers us many encounters with twentieth century classical music's superstars and former broadcasting colleagues. What transpires is a creative mind at work that never lost sight of the demand that the appropriate presentation of music can only go hand-in-hand with a deep understanding of music itself. This long-awaited autobiography is a must-read for classical musical enthusiasts and those fascinated by some of the twentieth century's star performers. It also offers unique insights into the history of music, the BBC and arts broadcasting in twentieth-century Britain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBurton can certainly tell a story, and in his memoir, In My Own Time, we see a portrait not just of a changing arts scene but of a man who, behind the smooth wheeler dealership needed for a career in TV management, has a few insecurities and one or two secrets. . . .

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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis remarkable book charts the development, as well as the public and critical acceptance, of the art film documentary at the mid-point of the 20th century.

Made at the time when the old studio system was breaking up, it functions both as an embodiment of the supremely seductive visual pleasures that 'classical Hollywood' could offer and – with the help of an elaborate plot twist – as a laying bare of their dangerous dark side. The film's core is a study in romantic obsession, as James Stewart's Scottie pursues Madeleine\/Judy (Kim Novak) to her death in a remote Californian mission. Novak is ice cool but vulnerable, Stewart – in the darkest role of his career – genial on the surface but damaged within.   Although it can be seen as Hitchcock's most personal film, Charles Barr argues that, like Citizen Kane, Vertigo is at the same time a triumph not so much of individual authorship as of creative collaboration. He highlights the crucial role of screenwriters Alec Coppel and Samuel Taylor and, by a combination of textual and contextual analysis, explores the reasons why Vertigo continues to inspire such fascination.   In his foreword to this special edition, published to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the BFI Film Classics series, Barr looks afresh at Vertigo alongside the recently-rediscovered 'lost' silent The White Shadow (1924), scripted by Hitchcock, which also features the trope of the double, and at the acclaimed contemporary silent film The Artist (2011), which pays explicit homage to Vertigo in its soundtrack.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword.- Acknowledgments.- 1 Obsession.- 2 Construction.- 3 Illusion.- 4 Revelation.- Notes.- Credits.- Bibliography.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48868681810263,"sku":"9781844574988","price":12.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781844574988.jpg?v=1722289214"},{"product_id":"the-gold-rush-9781844576401","title":"The Gold Rush","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMatthew Solomon's study of Chaplin's The Gold Rush (1925) provides an in-depth discussion of the film's production and reception history, placing it in the context of the turn-of-the-century Alaska Klondike gold rush, and analyses the film's narrative and formal features, particularly its references to music-hall performance styles and tropes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments.- 1.

The dozen wide-ranging essays give unique insights into the history of documentary, how films evoke space, time and physical sensations, and the intellectual and emotional links between filmmakers and their subjects.  In an era of reality television, historical re-enactments, and designer packaging, MacDougall defends the principles that inspired the earliest practitioners of documentary cinema. He urges us to consider how the form can more accurately reflect the realities of our everyday lives. Building on his own practice in filmmaking, he argues that this means resisting the pressures for self-censorship and the inherent ethnocentrism of our own society and those we film.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'MacDougall is masterful in writing succinctly about how audiences and their bodies connect to the films that they are watching.

By broadening the definition of independent cinema beyond simple industrial formulations, Newman charts the contours of 'indie' as a particular taste culture involving particular structures of distribution, consumption, and critical reception. By showing how companies built a niche audience of upscale consumers by targeting their \"indie\" sensibilities, Newman's book beautifully captures the multidimensional quality of American independent cinema in the nineties and 'naughts': its formal play, multicultural appeal, and 'branding' as off-Hollywood product. -- Jeff Smith, University of Wisconsin, author of The Sounds of Commerce: Marketing Popular Film Music Quirky, 'outside the zombie mainstream,' authentic, alternative, playful, self-conscious: these are terms used to define 'indie' cinema. In this insightful and cogent book, Michael Z. Newman gathers together a set of American films produced since the mid-1980s and considers them as a social art world: films created in a network of festivals and critical praise that collectively make particular viewing requests to elite movie-goers. As an intelligent approach to grappling with this complex phenomenon, Newman's argument is highly successful. -- Janet Staiger, University of Texas, Austin, and author of Media Reception Studies Michael Z. Newman captures the very essence of American independent cinema during the 'Miramax-Sundance' years. Through an emphasis on the viewing strategies that independent films invite their audiences to utilize, his study delves into the core of what makes this type of cinema distinct while also revealing the connective tissue behind the culture that produces and consumes it. Thorough and extremely engaging, Indie is a most welcome addition to the study of American independent film. -- Yannis Tzioumakis, author of American Independent Cinema: An Introduction ...this concrete, objective study makes an important contribution to the ongoing coversation.

In so doing, he profoundly disrupts received histories of 'Korean' literature and received approaches to canonical literary and film texts. It is not an exaggeration to say that with Hughes, you will simply 'see' Korea differently. This is a must read for all those interested in the Koreas, the Cold War, and non-Western modernities at large. -- Nancy Abelmann, University of Illinois Theodore Hughes's book breaks new ground in the study of postliberation South Korean literary and visual culture. His insightful and nuanced readings of the inextricable links between 'the colonial modern' and South Korea's Cold War modernity are essential contributions to Korean studies scholarship in any language. -- Kyeong-Hee Choi, University of Chicago Literature and Film in Cold War South Korea deftly navigates various transitional historical moments, such as Korea's liberation, the outbreak of the Korean War, and the rise of a feverish anticommunist campaign in South Korea, while addressing the works of both canonical and often overlooked writers in Korean literature from the 1920s to 1970s.

With Visions of Dystopia in China's New Historical Novels, Kinkley dives directly into the complex and sometimes murky intersection between history and literature in contemporary China. Along the way, we are introduced to the leading voices in Chinese literature today, including Mo Yan, Su Tong, Yu Hua, and Wang Anyi, and offered nuanced readings of the dystopian undercurrent in their major works. For those interested in delving deeper into the most important Chinese novels of the past quarter century, this is where to start. -- Michael Berry, author of History of Pain and Speaking in Images Following on from his path-breaking studies of contemporary Chinese legal fiction and political novels, Jeffrey Kinkley in his new book. Visions of Dystopia once again displays impressive mastery of a body of Chinese writing that provides us with a unique perspective on the country's turbulent recent history. Engaging with dystopian traditions in literature from South America and elsewhere, Kinkley expertly brings out the uniqueness of the Chinese authors' handling of the past to comment on the present and the future. Identifying himself as a historian, Kinkley at the same time has been and continues to be one of the world's leading scholars of Chinese literataure. -- Michel Hockx, SOAS, University of London In yet another impressive work with impeccable research, Kinkley displays his nuanced understanding of modern and contemporary China through highly readable prose and broad reference to similar works in world literature. A must-read! -- Sylvia Lin, author of Representing Atrocity in Taiwan Jeffrey C. Kinkley has done magnificent work in rethinking the meaning and function of historical dynamics and spatial imaginary in the context of dystopia. He looks into sources drawn from PRC fiction since the New Era, identifies generic and conceptual contestations, and teases out the radical elements in the debate about civil society.

Countless writers have weighed in on the effects of the 9\/11 attacks, often reflexively perceiving them as wholly transformative of American culture, including virtually all activity in US screen industries. Guy Westwell does an end-run around the lazy shorthand that accompanies much of the discursive claims about 9\/11 and cinema. Parallel Lines shows us how politicians, filmmakers, and cultural commentators perceived the events of September 11 and how screen texts distilled these attitudes into a narrow set of textual articulations involving unity, vengeance and victimisation. Ranging across mainstream Hollywood film, independent cinema, television documentary, and output from the fringes of the ideological spectrum, Westwell's book rigorously investigates the many cycles of films that appeared in the wake of 9\/11 and the subsequent Iraq War. With sustained close readings, sure-footed argumentation, and meticulous attention to print news and commentary, Westwell's coverage give us an essential account of how cultural productions respond to monumental disasters and disruptions. -- Mark Gallagher, University of Nottingham, UK; author of Action Figures: Men, Action Films and Contemporary Adventure Narratives Lucid and compelling, Parallel Lines views American cinema of the post-9\/11 period as a charged engagement with fundamental issues of national identity. Exploring a wide range of films, Westwell provides the most articulate and textually detailed analysis of this wrenching period that I have read. This important book will shape arguments about the post 9\/11 cinema for many years to come. -- Robert Burgoyne, University of St. Andrews, UK; author of The Hollywood Historical Film and Film Nation: Hollywood Looks at US History With thoroughness, clarity and good sense, Westwell's Parallel Lines provides an authoritative route through the jingoism and contradictions characterising post-9\/11 US cinema. Delineating the various stages and themes of post-9\/11 US film, this highly informative book will prove a godsend to those trying to make sense of the period. In its keen understanding of social-historical events and skilful but nuanced film analyses, the book achieves that rare thing for Film Studies - properly contextualised, and politically astute, work. -- Michele Aaron, University of Birmingham, UK; author of Death and the Moving Image: Ideology, Iconography and I This volume provides a compelling and comprehensive tour d'horizon of the post-9\/11 cinematic landscape. It blends thematic analysis with filmic vignette and in so doing will ensure that academic staff, students and the general reader will profit from reading this account. Strongly recommended. -- Klaus Dodds, Royal Holloway, University of London; co-author of International Politics and Film: Space, Vision, Power Anyone wishing to understand the cultural politics of post-9\/11 America should read this book. It clearly shows the role that cinema has played in the \"national conversation\" that has taken place in the United States over the course of the \"war on terror\", and perhaps more importantly, does so without reducing film to simplistic pro-war\/anti-war binaries. This book deserves to be read widely both within and beyond film studies. -- Sean Carter, University of Exeter, UK; co-author of International Politics and Film: Space, Vision, Power Comprehensive in its materials, nuanced in its analysis - the definitive account of American cinema after 9\/11. -- Astrid Erll, Goethe-University, Frankfurt am Main [A] cogent examination of post-9\/11 American cinema...

Focused on the Cambodian genocide, Morag addresses a new phase in how we confront such events: films where survivors confront perpetrators face-to-face. These confrontations bring the visceral truth borne directly of human encounter to the fore with consequences both intensely personal and profoundly political. -- Bill Nichols, author of \u003ci\u003eSpeaking Truths with Film: Evidence, Ethics, Politics in Documentary\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is far more than an illuminating analysis of Cambodian postgenocide cinema, valuable as that is, given the Pol Pot regime’s destruction of the country’s film industry, its artists, and its entire film archive, along with 1.7 million Cambodian lives. Morag ushers us forward to view unique interactions and confrontations between first-generation survivors and top- and lower-level Khmer Rouge perpetrators, made possible by the regime’s overthrow in 1979, its remnants’ defeat and surrender in 1999, and the establishment of the UN-sponsored Khmer Rouge tribunal in 2006. The book offers front-row seats to a new genre of post-Holocaust global documentary film, with innovative approaches to the study of genocide, trauma, and gender. -- Ben Kiernan, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Pol Pot Regime: Race, Power and Genocide in Cambodia Under the Khmer Rouge, 1975-79\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003ePerpetrator Cinema,\u003c\/i\u003e Raya Morag brings her superb intellect and expertise in trauma and Holocaust cinema to this study of groundbreaking films inspired by Cambodia's Year Zero.

In this updated edition, Barry Keith Grant adds new material exploring the documentarian’s works since the 1990s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBarry Keith Grant provides an updated version of his own singularly authoritative study of documentarian Frederick Wiseman’s astonishing range of films—from the controversial \u003ci\u003eTiticutt Follies \u003c\/i\u003ethrough such diverse examples as \u003ci\u003eMeat, Missile, Model, Deaf, Blind, Public Housing\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBallet, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eBelfast, Maine, \u003c\/i\u003eto name a few. In his deeply informed study, Grant creates his own meticulous, yet accessible, “tapestry” of inquiry worthy of the same approach he credits Wiseman with adopting. Grant’s insightful readings of Wiseman’s carefully wrought compositions—and the happy accidents that sometimes occur—highlight colorful thematic threads woven to create the “reality fictions” Wiseman, in his own words, is producing. At the same time, Grant presents a capacious “mosaic,” placing Wiseman’s films in textured dialogue, not only with each other, but also with works of literature, art, theater, music, and dance, along with other films and Hollywood genres, that inform them. Grant explores Wiseman’s penetrating vision of institutional operations—the human interactions that sustain them and the ideological underpinnings beneath the “rules” that govern them. As Grant compellingly claims, Wiseman avoids providing viewers with easy answers. \u003ci\u003eVoyages of Discovery \u003c\/i\u003epowerfully uncovers the ambiguities inviting viewers to democratically, actively, and reflexively assess their own participation in, contributions to, and complicity within the cultural conditions Frederick Wiseman so evocatively observes. -- Cynthia Lucia, Rider University\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoyages of Discovery\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the very best books of film analysis and scholarship that I've ever read. It is certainly the essential work about a major film-maker, whose films require special tools and sensitivities to discuss, which Grant possesses in abundance. This is a most useful work both for those just discovering Wiseman and those who think they know him. Great ideas abound on every page, and Grant's organization of the films is original and helpful. Exemplary as well are the carefully selected frame enlargements, which nicely support his close analysis of visual issues. Grant's ability to bring in relevant ideas from both film study and beyond it is the mark of an eminent scholar.  That Grant discusses the entirety of Wiseman's prodigious output, in depth and entertainingly, is also quite an accomplishment. -- Stephen Mamber, author of Cinema Verite in America: Studies in Uncontrolled Documentary\u003cbr\u003eThis is the new edition we have been waiting for. Barry Keith Grant provides an essential companion to Frederick Wiseman, one of the most distinctive and prominent voices in US documentary. \u003ci\u003eVoyages of Discovery\u003c\/i\u003e offers perceptive and in-depth analyses of Wiseman's vast catalogue, ranging from the 1960s to his most recent work. Grant foregrounds the ways Wiseman's films have not only documented institutions but have challenged their established practices, encouraging audiences to meaningfully engage with and question the hierarchies and fraught political dynamics encountered in everyday life. This study matches the subtlety and resistance to reductive narratives found in Wiseman's own films, revealing why his work remains compelling and necessary viewing that continues to speak to the present day. -- Jeffrey Geiger, author of American Documentary Film: Projecting the Nation\u003cbr\u003eThis revised edition of \u003ci\u003eVoyages of Discovery\u003c\/i\u003e is updated and expanded to cover Wiseman’s prodigious output over the decades since the original appeared. Supplemented and supported by a range of secondary sources from diverse fields spanning film studies, sociology, art history, and political science (among so many others), Grant develops a portrait of a working filmmaker that is informed and definitive. -- Michael Baker, Sheridan College\u003cbr\u003eThe time is right for a second edition, and this year's 'revised and expanded' version rises to the occasion. * Journal of American Culture *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e1.
