    Book SynopsisDie poetische Kraft der Theorie bezieht sich für Alexander Kluge weniger auf reine Philosophie oder die abgesonderte Lust am Denken als vielmehr auf die altgriechische Praxis der Theoria. Wie der antike Theoretiker namens Theoros, der als Gesandter aus fremden Ländern heimkehrte, um von anderen Völkern und Kulturen zu erzählen, strebt Kluges Interesse an der poetischen Kraft der Theorie nach der Anreicherung der menschlichen Wesenskräfte, die subjektive Erfahrung von Differenz in einer Krisenzeit auszudrücken, in der die Werkzeuge des Erzählens verarmt sind. Diese Ausgabe des Jahrbuchs erkundet Kluges Theorie dieses narrativen Potenzials im stürmischen Zeitalter der Digitalität, das von Algorithmen regiert, mit Informationen überflutet und von sozialen Unruhen zerrüttet ist.

    Book SynopsisFirst global exploration of contemporary forms of filmmaking from political and cultural self-determination movements of Autochthonous communities and peoples.Film X Autochthonous Struggles Today brings together for the first time filmmakers, activists, film curators, and scholars who share a common interest in filmmaking practices that emerge from and participate in the various situations of struggle that the Autochthonous/Indigenous/Native/Aboriginal/First Nations peoples and communities are involved in worldwide.Starting with the Edison Studio’s 1894 short films Buffalo Dance and Sioux Ghost Dance, representations of Autochthonous peoples have been part of cinema right from its inception. The vast majority of these representations, however, have not been produced by nor for Autochthonous peoples. In the wake of political and cultural self-determination movements of the 1960s and 1970s, and with the gradual democratization and accessibility of the tools of moving-image making, Autochthonous communities have displaced and renewed cinema’s forms and means of production, increasingly reclaiming their right for self-representation by way of film and video.Along with the vibrant forms of moving images arising from within the communities, close to their existential concerns, filmmaking has also become a potent tool in Autochthonous struggles. This book answers the need to take a global look at the diverse ways of filmmaking that fight for land rights and against environmental injustice (Brazil, Morocco, Taiwan, USA), that resist neocolonial domination, economic and political exploitation (Japan, Philippines), that offer a counterpoint during low intensity or drawn-out armed conflicts (Colombia, Mexico), that invent strategies of counter information and representation (Australia, Canada, Russia, Samoa), and that strive for visibility.ContributorsMyrla Baldonado, Mayaw Biho, Nadir Bouhmouch, Ricardo Matos Cabo, Carolina Canguçu, Amaranta Cesar, Karrabing Film Collective, Rupert Cox, Nicolas Défossé, Etienne De France, Sophie Gergaud, John Gianvito, David Harper, Aurélie Journée-Duez, Blackhouse Lowe, Caroline San Martin, Laura Langa Martínez, Isael Maxakali, Sueli Maxakali, Dan Taulapapa Mcmullin, Chie Mikami, Francisco Vázquez Mota, Omar Moujane, Marie Pierre-Bouthier, Perrine Poupin, Ariel Arango Prada, Beatriz Rodovalho, Roberto Romero, Jonathan Sims, Mercedes Vicente, Jamahke Welsh

    Book SynopsisThe history of film students from the Global South who studied in Poland during the Cold War. As Poland’s second-largest city, Łódź was a hub for international students who studied in Poland from the mid-1960s to 1989. The Łódź Film School, a member of CILECT since 1955, was a favored destination, with students from Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East accounting for one-third of its international student body. Despite the school’s international reputation, the experience of its filmmakers from the Global South is little known beyond Poland. Hope Is of a Different Color addresses the history of student exchanges between the Global South and the Polish People’s Republic during the Cold War. It sheds light on the experiences and careers of a generation of young filmmakers at Łódź, many of whom went on to achieve success as artists in their home countries, and provides insight into emerging areas of research and race relations in Central and Eastern Europe. The essays reflect on these issues from multiple perspectives, considering sociology, political science, art, and film history. The book also features previously unpublished photographs and film stills from private archives along with visual and written material collected at the Łódź Film School.

    Book SynopsisBuñuel detestaba las entrevistas, sentía horror por ese aparato electrónico llamado magnetofón y por la forma ?fálica? (decía) de los micrófonos. Sin embargo, un día, a finales de 1974, en una de esas comidas que se habían hecho ya rituales, entre el cabrito y el vino le propusimos el proyecto de este libro. Para sorpresa nuestra, don Luis aceptó inmediatamente: ?Si el libro de entrevistas sale bien, ya no estaré obligado a dar ninguna otra: simplemente remitiré el libro a todos los que me pidan una?.Entre 1975 y 1977, Tomás Pérez Turrent y José de la Colina llevaron a cabo estas entrevistas. En ellas Buñuel realiza un recorrido exhaustivo por toda su filmografía por la lucidez y genialidad que le caracterizan. Nos encontramos, sin duda, ante el testamento cinematográfico del universal cineasta aragonés, y seguramente, el libro más completo sobre su obra.

  • Kosher Movies: A Film Critic Discovers Life

    Urim Publications Kosher Movies: A Film Critic Discovers Life

    Book SynopsisFilm critic Herbert Cohen views films as potential life lessons, and defines a “kosher movie” as one that has something valuable to say about the human condition. In this survey spanning many genres, Cohen presents films as tools for self-discovery and for navigating challenges of life. What do romantic comedies really say about love? What can Cast Away teach us about the value of time? What parenting lessons can we learn from Dead Poets Society? Exploring 120 stand-out movies from the past 30 years, Cohen shares inspiring personal anecdotes about self-growth, relationships, parenting, aging, dealing with adversity, and more.Trade Review"It's like Chicken Soup for the Soul meets Roger Ebert." Vincent Coppola, former Newsweek editor"This book is well done, and each entry is fairly short making for a quick read. The book can be used in many ways by different groups of people. While Herbert Cohen is an Orthodox rabbi, readers will find his entries quite universal and palatable." Debbie Feder, Association of Jewish Libraries" Kosher Movies succeeds in promoting some ideals that in many quarters have been considered passé, namely the effective synergy of the devotion to Torah and the careful application of general, in this case, popular culture . . . . Kosher Movies reminds us that there are spiritual and inspirational nuggets of gold to be discovered and harnessed from the world around us as depicted in popular culture that truly complement a Torah lifestyle."
