Edinburgh University Press ReFocus The Films of Shyam Benegal
Book SynopsisShyam Benegal is widely perceived as one of the most influential Indian filmmakers, yet his voluminous body of work remains relatively under-studied in contemporary film scholarship. To help fill this critical lacuna, ReFocus: The Films of Shyam Benegal undertakes a closer look at Benegal?s films, a trailblazing auteur who successfully redefined the contours of non-commercial Hindi language cinema. This addition to ReFocus: The International Directors Series will consider how Benegal, over the course of his forty year career, used cinema as a potent medium to narrate the story of a nation in continuous transition. The 13 essays in the volume will explore how Benegal?s films articulate his concerns over caste, class, gender, religion, and other allied social, economic and political problems characterizing the Indian subcontinent. This collection also includes a full-length interview with Shyam Benegal that investigates his perspectives on the art of film-making.

Edinburgh University Press Tim Burtons Bodies
Book SynopsisThis innovative study centres on the body as a centripetal force in Burton's work and considers the array of anomalous, extraordinary and transgressive beings that pervade his canon.Trade Review"This exemplary cross-disciplinary collection addressing Burton's films through the lens of the somatic, demonstrates considerable empathy for, and sympathy with, his miscellany of outsiders, grotesques, and monsters. Whether animated, animal, or aberrant, Burton's corporeal and material menagerie is explored with insight and originality. This fresh focus on Burton's preoccupation with the 'weird is normal' serves to show how unruly otherness and alternative perspectives shed a penetrating light upon our assumptions about the human condition.

Titan Books Ltd Guillermo del Toro's The Devil's Backbone
Book SynopsisExplore the creation of Guillermo del Toro's early masterpiece through this visually stunning and insightful look at the spine-chilling classic. Released in 2001, Guillermo del Toro's The Devil's Backbone marked out the director as a singular talent with the unique ability to mix the macabre with the sublime. Set during the Spanish Civil War, the film focuses on ten-year-old Carlos (Fernando Tielve), an orphan taken in by Republican sympathisers. On his first day at the orphanage, he witnesses a ghostly apparition, the spirit of a young boy named Santi (Andreas Munoz) who disappeared from the institution a year earlier. With the ghost's help, Carlos must uncover the dark secrets that led to Santi's death and help prevent himself and his fellow orphans from meeting the same fate. Seen by del Toro as a spiritual companion piece to his Oscar-winning Pan's Labyrinth (2006), The Devil's Backbone explores similar themes against the backdrop of the same brutal conflict that turned ordinary men into monsters. This book is written in close collaboration with the director and provides the definitive account of the film's creation, covering everything from del Toro's initial musings through to the haunting designs for Santi, the hugely challenging shoot, and the overwhelming critic and fan reactions upon its release. Including exquisite concept art and rare unit photography from the set, Guillermo del Toro's The Devil's Backbone gives readers an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at how this gothic horror masterpiece was crafted for the screen. The book also draws on interviews with every key player in the film's creation to present the ultimate behind-the-scenes look at this unforgettable Spanish-language classic.

The History Press Ltd When Harry Met Cubby: The Story of the James Bond
Book Synopsis‘Enthralling . . . an essential read, particularly for fans of 007.’ - Cinema Retro‘When Harry Met Cubby is a fitting tribute to two extraordinary men. If you love behind the scenes stories about the making of movies, there’s plenty of drama to sate you here.’ - Entertainment FocusAlbert R. ‘Cubby’ Broccoli and Harry Saltzman remain the most successful producing partnership in movie history. Together they were responsible for the phenomenally successful James Bond series; separately they brought kitchen-sink drama to the screen, made a star out of Michael Caine in the Harry Palmer films and were responsible for the children’s classic Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. But their relationship was fraught almost from the very beginning. With such contrasting personalities, their interactions often span out of control. They managed to drive away their coveted star, Sean Connery, and ultimately each other.Loved and hated in equal measure, respected and feared by their contemporaries, few people have loomed as large over the film industry as Broccoli and Saltzman, yet their lives went in very different directions. Broccoli was feted as Hollywood royalty, whereas Saltzman ended up a forgotten recluse. When Harry Met Cubby charts the changing fortunes and clashing personalities of two titans of the big screen.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Supply Chain Cinema: Producing Global Film
Book SynopsisWhy are big budget films typically made across an array of seemingly dissociated sites? Supply Chain Cinema shows how the production journeys of such films exemplify the principles of the supply chain, whose core imperative is to nimbly and opportunistically manufacturing wherever is most amenable and efficient. Through extensive on-site investigations and in-depth interviews with film professionals, Kay Dickinson delivers nuanced insight into working practices in the UK and the UAE. Among the sites she examines is Warner Bros’ permanent base at Leavesden Studios near London. From tax breaks designed to attract foreign projects to infrastructures, logistical support and expertise offered, she considers why Hollywood giants elect to make more of their films in Britain than in the USA. Dickinson goes on to show how the UK’s ambitions to enlarge its creative economies has opened up a host of competitive advantages with British higher education increasingly fashioned to conform to the needs of border-hopping enterprise, thus generating a workforce keenly adapted to the demands of blockbuster moviemaking.Trade ReviewSupply Chain Cinema is a critical reconceptualization of blockbuster film production and a scathing indictment of the ways in which higher education and skills training schemes have become complicit in producing a workforce amendable to demands of global capital. This is essential reading and a cautionary tale that troubles how governments and universities are responding to the creative economy. -- Kevin Sanson, Queensland University of Technology, AustraliaSupply Chain Cinema is a vital contribution, arguing persuasively that global film production can now best be understood via supply chain logistics, with all the ‘just-in-time’ dynamics of inequity and extraction that this entails. Taking us on a journey to both the UK and the UAE, Dickinson foregrounds the voices and experiences of current and future film workers as they are swept up, trained up and then compelled to navigate the vagaries of the creative supply chain. -- Bridget Conor, University of Auckland, New ZealandTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Polaris Publishing Limited A Kind of Magic: Making the Original Highlander
Book SynopsisThe story of an immortal Scottish warrior battling evil down through the centuries, Highlander fused a high-concept idea with the kinetic energy of a pop promo pioneer and Queen’s explosive soundtrack to become a cult classic. When two American producers took a chance on a college student’s script, they set in motion a chain of events involving an imploding British film studio, an experimental music video director still finding his filmmaking feet, a former James Bond with a spiralling salary, and the unexpected arrival of low-budget production company, Cannon Films. Author Jonathan Melville looks back at the creation of Highlander with the help of more than 60 cast and crew, as they talk candidly about the gruelling shoot that took them from the back alleys of London, to the far reaches of the Scottish Highlands, and onto the mean streets of 1980s New York City. With insights from Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor on the film’s iconic music, exclusive screenwriter commentary on unmade scripts, never-before-seen photos from private collections, and a glimpse into the promotional campaign that never was.

Wexman provides a well-researched history of earlier organizations leading up to the formation of the DGA, the cultural context for its claims of artistry (including European traditions and the auteur theory), the effects of the rise of television, as well as a discussion of a controversial moment in its history during the McCarthy era, the HUAC hearings, and the persecution of the “Hollywood Ten.” Furthermore, she examines the notion of the director as authority figure (which requires “charisma”) as well as the legal battles engaged in by the organization. Finally, Wexman explores new challenges to film directors in the current era involving the ascendancy of digital effects and streaming services, as well as the globalization of the industry. In sum, a thorough and masterful study. -- Lucy Fischer, author of Cinema by Design: Art Nouveau, Modernism, and Film HistoryThis book fills a significant void in film history and offers an original and important argument about the role of the director in the ‘authorship’ of Hollywood films. -- Tom Schatz, University of Texas at Austin[A] concise and lucid history of how the Directors Guild focused upon the authorship of film. * Film Quarterly *Introduces academic audiences to the nuances of labor, law, and DGA politics by providing extensive sources from practitioners and adding context to famous moments in DGA history . . .

Columbia University Press Hollis Frampton
Book SynopsisThis book is a groundbreaking and comprehensive account of Hollis Frampton’s work in its totality, from his earliest films through the unfinished epic Magellan.Trade ReviewAt long last, we have an authoritative guide to the work of one of experimental film’s most intriguing and polymathic figures. Through his meticulous study of Hollis Frampton’s unfinished Magellan project, Michael Zryd illuminates the filmmaker’s oeuvre as a whole, shedding light on the relationship among cinema, modernism, and epistemology. -- Erika Balsom, author of After Uniqueness: A History of Film and Video Art in CirculationHollis Frampton was a rigorous and complex individual, as well as a passionate and generous filmmaker/teacher. As a “Meta-Historian” of film, his radical work bridged the fields of cinema, poetry, mathematics, photography, xerography and early digital art. He made one of the defining films of the structural film canon, Zorns Lemma (1970), following it with the seminal, (anti-)autobiographical work nostalgia (1971). Magellan (1976-) was perhaps Frampton’s equivalent to Wagner’s Ring Cycle; an epic, wildly ambitious, calendrical film cycle lasting 36 hours that was only partially completed before his tragic premature death in 1984. Taking on the intimidating task of deciphering and decoding Frampton’s project from the fragments left behind, Zryd not only renders Magellan legible for film scholars but contextualizes and evaluates the entire project in hugely readable and nourishing prose. This book will surely become the authoritative text, not only on Magellan, but on Frampton’s oeuvre as a whole. -- Luke Fowler, filmmaker and artistMichael Zryd’s elegant treatise on Hollis Frampton’s late metafilms is the first to map the terrain of his accomplishment with commensurate intelligence and comprehensiveness. Zryd synoptically conjugates the master’s filmmaking, photography, and writing as an interlaced summa of the history of cinema and the most prescient bridge to its digital successors. -- David E. James, author of Power Misses II: Cinema, Asian and ModernZryd brings unmatched expertise to the task of resurrecting Hollis Frampton’s last major work. The strength of this book resides in its ability to make the complexity of this massive cultural and artistic undertaking legible. Even for scholars of avant-garde cinema and veteran viewers of Frampton’s films, it offers revelatory readings. -- Bruce Jenkins, coauthor of The Films of Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonné: 1963-1965This groundbreaking book offers a richly layered map for navigating Frampton’s complex films and their intertexts. Devoting particular attention to the epic, encyclopedic, unfinished Magellan cycle, Zryd takes us on a deep dive into a speculative metahistory grounded in meticulous and expansive research. Frampton finds an articulate and generous interlocutor here: the energy of his last work endures through Zryd’s engagement with the idea of a cinema that moves past all limits, towards the infinite. -- Sarah Keller, author of Anxious Cinephilia: Pleasure and Peril at the MoviesThis authoritative guide to the avant-garde filmmaker/photographer/theorist has been needed for years; finally, 40 years after Frampton’s death, comes this comprehensive look at his life and career. * The Film Stage *The author of this volume mirrors his subject's all-embracing approach to the art-making task in hand, rigorously tracking the twists and turns in this remarkable artist's creations and the reverberations he had on the discourses of the day. * Leonardo *Examining not only the Magellan films but also Frampton’s writings and archival materials, Zryd provides a sort of Bloomsday Book for deciphering this vast project, marking an invaluable contribution to the study of this singular filmmaker. * Cineaste *An incredibly useful and necessary resource for anyone interested in synthesising Frampton’s theories and reconstructing his cinematic goals, which remain pertinent in the digital age. * Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television *Table of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroduction: From the Chemistry of Cobalt to the Chemistry of Dirt1.

Columbia University Press Suzuki Seijun and Postwar Japanese Cinema
Book SynopsisWilliam Carroll offers a new account of Suzuki Seijun’s career that highlights the intersections of film theory, film production, cinephile culture, and politics in 1960s Japan. This book presents both a major reinterpretation of Suzuki’s work and a new lens on postwar Japanese film culture and industry.Trade ReviewA filmography with several unreleased titles, including those for television, contributes to the richness of this work. -- Stephen Sarrazin * East Asia *You’ll learn a lot from Suzuki Seijun and Postwar Japanese Cinema, and not just about the subject: this scholarly work tells the inspiring story of an artist with a distinct vision that neither time nor studio interference could ever truly tame. -- Pat Padua * Spectrum Culture *Ever engaging, ever challenging, Suzuki Seijun and Postwar Japanese Cinema by William Carroll is an utter marvel. To those who have loved Suzuki Seijun as much as I have, you shall find so much to love in this comprehensive work and to those that adore Japanese cinema, this text manages to illuminate so much that it demands reading and should be in every cinephiles library. Highly Recommended!!! -- Ruben Rosario * FilmMonthly *[A] meticulous analysis of the filmmaker’s output throughout the years. -- Dr. A. Ebert * PopCultureShelf.com *Suzuki Seijun and Postwar Japanese Cinema is a thoughtful, stimulating, and rigorous study of a neglected Japanese filmmaker. It makes a major contribution to our understanding of critical discourses circulating in Japan and the situation of the domestic film industry during the protracted decline of the studio system. -- Isolde Standish, author of Politics, Porn, and Protest: Japanese Avant-Garde Cinema in the 1960s and 1970sThis groundbreaking book shows that Suzuki, far from being “incomprehensible,” was actually understood by—and deeply entwined with—competing theoretical schools in Japan. Carroll’s study offers not only illuminating analyses of Suzuki’s cinema of deviation within its historical context but also compelling expositions on what it means for cinema then and today. -- Aaron Gerow, Yale UniversityBy lucidly setting out the cultural, political, technological, and studio contexts in which Suzuki operated, Carroll goes beyond the prevailing notions of the director as a maverick, iconoclast, and pop-cultural curio who dismissed his own works as ‘nonsense.’ This book presents a convincing argument as to what makes his films so eminently watchable to this day. -- Jasper Sharp, author of Historical Dictionary of Japanese CinemaTable of ContentsAcknowledgmentsNote on Names, Images, and TranslationsIntroduction: Why Suzuki Seijun?1. 1968 and the Suzuki Seijun Incident2.
