Documentary films have become reliable earners at the U.S. box office and ubiquitous on streaming platforms, while historically they existed on the margins of mainstream media. How do we explain the growing commercialization of documentary films and the conditions that fueled their transformation?The growing commercialization of documentary film has not gone unnoticed, but it has not been sufficiently explained. Streaming and the growing interest in reality TV are usually offered as initial explanations whenever a documentary enters the cultural conversation or breaks a box-office record, but neither of those causes grapple with the overlapping causal mechanisms that commercialized documentary film. How Documentaries Went Mainstream provides a more comprehensive and meaningful periodization of the commercialization of documentary film. Although the commercial ascension of documentary films might seem meteoric, it is the culmination of decades-long efforts that have developed and fortified the audience for documentary features. Author Nora Stone refines rough explanations of these efforts through a robust synoptic history of the market for documentary films, using knowledge of film economics and the norms of industry discourse to tell a richer story. This periodization will allow scholars to compare the commercialization of documentary film with other genres. Drawing on archival documents, industry trade journals and popular press, and interviews with filmmakers and film distributors, Stone illuminates how documentary features have become more plentiful, popular, and profitable than ever before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStone's history of post-vérité U.S. documentary is, simply put, the book I've been waiting for. For too long, documentary histories have focused primarily on makers and movements, but Stone weaves an account of the film markets, documentary institutions, and shifts in film culture driving documentary's increased public visibility. Whether discussing canonical works, box office flops, public television broadcasts, or popular documentary hits, this book provides a narrative that reframes and illuminates the major changes in the documentary landscape over the last half century. * Chris Cagle, Associate Professor, Temple University, Film and Media Arts *\u003cbr\u003eHow Documentaries Went Mainstream explores the tension between public service and commodity exchange in the documentary film market by tracing the shifting industrial trends in documentary distribution and exhibition between the 1960s and today. Deftly researched and incisively written, Stone's book offers an important intervention in the history of documentary by focusing on the mode's industrial concerns. Essential reading for anyone interested in how and why documentary has come to occupy such a prolific and lucrative corner of the media market in recent years. * Kristen Fuhs, Professor of Media Studies, Woodbury University *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: How Documentaries Went Mainstream  Chapter 1: 1960 to 1977, Direct Cinema Blossoms, But Little Support for Documentary Films in Theaters  Chapter 2: 1978 to 1989, A Rising Tide: How the Independent Film Movement Boosted Documentaries  Chapter 3: 1978 to 1990, Fighting For A Place On Public Television: Independent Filmmakers Lobby  Chapter 4: 1990 to 1999, Television or Cinema?

Evolutionary narratives of cinema have traditionally adopted the Second World War as a watershed that separates ''classical'' Hollywood films from ''modern'' European productions, a scheme that subjects the entire world to the cinematic history of two hegemonic centres. In turn, histories of film as a technological medium have focused on the specificity of cinema as it gradually separated from the other art and medial forms - theatre, dance, fairground spectacle, painting, literature, still photography and other pre-cinematic modes. Taking an ambitious step forward with relation to these approaches, this book focuses on the fluid quality of the film form by exploring an array of exciting and often neglected artistic expressions worldwide as they compare and interconnect films across temporal, geographical, and cultural borders. By observing the ebb and flow of film''s contours within the bounds of other artistic and medial expressions, the chapters aspire to establish a flexible historical platform for the moving form of film, posited, from production to consumption, as a transforming and transformative medium.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a truly remarkable volume, not just on account of its list of distinguished contributors.

But as this VSI demonstrates, film noir actually predates the 1940s and has never been confined to Hollywood. International in scope, its various manifestations have spread across generic categories, attracted the interest of the world''s great directors, and continue to appear even today. In this Very Short Introduction James Naremore shows how the term film noir originated in in French literary and film criticism, and how later uses of the term travelled abroad, changing its implications. In the process, he comments on classic examples of the films and explores important aspects of their history: their critical reception, their major literary sources, their methods of dealing with censorship and budgets, their social and cultural politics, their variety of styles, and their future in a world of digital media and video streaming.

As a bonus, Naremore presents carefully judged and gracefully written appreciations of important movies from The Maltese Falcon to Mulholland Drive and beyond. His book is an indispensable work for both novice and connoisseur. * David Bordwell, Jacques Ledoux Professor Emeritus, University of Wisconsin-Madison *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface1: The idea of film noir2: The modernist crime novel and Hollywood noir3: Censorship and politics in Hollywood noir4: Budgets and critical discrimination5: Styles of film noir6: The afterlife of noir and the changing mediascapeFurther readingIndex","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48732785541463,"sku":"9780198791744","price":9.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780198791744.jpg?v=1719998390"},{"product_id":"star-wars-year-by-year-9780241469408","title":"Star Wars Year by Year","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDiscover everything you''ve ever wanted to know about \u003ci\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/i\u003e in this complete history of the most famous franchise in movie history.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePainstakingly researched and superbly illustrated, \u003ci\u003eStar Wars Year By Year: A Visual History, New Edition\u003c\/i\u003e presents a unique \u003ci\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/i\u003e timeline-the full history of the amazing \u003ci\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/i\u003e phenomenon as you''ve never seen it before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis stunning visual journey features trivia and cultural cornerstones from director George Lucas'' early life through to the iconic movie stills, comic books, novels, toys, video games, and theme parks that have spawned from five decades of seminal film making. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFully updated and expanded, this edition encompasses all nine episodes of the original, prequel, and sequel trilogies, along with the standalone movies\u003ci\u003e Rogue One\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e Solo,\u003c\/i\u003e and the acclaimed television series, \u003ci\u003eThe Mandalorian. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced in full collaboration with Lucasfilm and written by renowned\u003ci\u003e Star Wars \u003c\/i\u003eexperts, \u003ci\u003eStar Wars Year by Year: A Visual History, New Edition \u003c\/i\u003eis ideal for\u003ci\u003e Star Wars \u003c\/i\u003efanatics and newbies alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u0026amp;  2021 Lucasfilm Ltd.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dorling Kindersley Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48733132226903,"sku":"9780241469408","price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780241469408.jpg?v=1719999526"},{"product_id":"the-movie-book-9780241562949","title":"The Movie Book","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dorling Kindersley Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48733240623447,"sku":"9780241562949","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780241562949.jpg?v=1719999737"},{"product_id":"visions-of-avantgarde-film-polish-cinematic-experiments-from-expressionism-to-constructivism-9780253023971","title":"Visions of AvantGarde Film  Polish Cinematic","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKuc's ambitious project provides a comprehensive view of Polish avant-garde film before 1945, making a solid contribution to the experimental cinema field of studies and showing how illuminating an account based on sources other than realized films can be for early avant-garde cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e * Slavic Review *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKamila Kuc's \u003cem\u003eVisions of Avant-Garde Film \u003c\/em\u003eis devoted to the beginnings of the Polish film avant-garde.

Famous for his elegant lifestyle, as friend of Jean Renoir and Coco Chanel amongst others, his vibrant technicolour dramas are also known for their decadence and stunning display of aesthetic mastery and sensory pleasure.Looking beyond this colourful façade, however, Resina explores the philosophical implications of decadence with a particular focus on three films from the late phase in Visconti's production, \u003ci\u003eDamned\u003c\/i\u003e (1969), \u003ci\u003eDeath in Venice \u003c\/i\u003e(1971), and \u003ci\u003eLudwig\u003c\/i\u003e (1972).

Yet Robert Pippin argues that, far from being marginal pieces of sentimentality, Sirk''s films are rich with irony, insight and depth. Indeed Sirk''s films, often celebrated as classics of the genre, are attempts to subvert rather than conform to rules of conventional melodrama.The visual style, story and characters of films like \u003ci\u003eAll That Heaven Allows, Written on the Wind\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eImitation of Life \u003c\/i\u003eare explored to argue for Sirk as an incredibly nuanced moral thinker. Instead of imposing moralising judgements on his characters, Sirk presents them as people who do ''wrong'' things often without understanding why or how, creating a complex and unsettling ethics. Pippin argues that it this moral ambiguity and ironic richness enables Sirk to produce films that grapple with important themes such as race, class and gender wit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWho needs Hegel, Heidegger,or Derrida when you’ve got Douglas Sirk?  Once again, Robert B. Pippin shows that philosophy still has a lot to learn from the movies. In the bold colors and improbable plots of Sirk’s melodramas he finds important lessons not just about race, class, and gender, but also—and perhaps more importantly—about the limits of moral inquiry. * Martin Woessner, Associate Professor of History \u0026amp; Society, Center for Worker Education, The City College of New York (CUNY), USA *\u003cbr\u003eProfessor Pippin’s book provides extraordinary and perceptive insights into Douglas Sirk’s Hollywood films. The book unravels a range of arguments with admirable clarity while paying attention to Sirk’s visual style, as well to as his uses of story and character. Pippin argues that characters in these films often perform actions in ways that are beyond their understanding. This provides these films with a very particular moral atmosphere in which good characters do ‘wrong’ things, but in ways that, for the most part, engage our sympathy and admiration. * Richard Rushton, Senior Lecturer in Film, Lancaster University, UK *\u003cbr\u003eIn this wonderfully provocative study, Robert Pippin explores three of Sirk’s most famous American melodramas, finding in their excesses and irony a philosophical rigour. Ingeniously, Pippin explains how Sirk’s sumptuously pessimistic world forecloses, for the characters, any real possibility of love, mutuality and self-knowledge, despite the putative happy endings. For viewers willing to give Sirk’s films a “second” or “third thought”, however, Pippin teaches us to see past the surface of bourgeois morality and discover a more difficult but worthwhile reckoning with “the politics of American emotional life” and our own complicities with its sympathetic registers. * Jennifer Fay, Professor and Chair of Cinema  \u0026amp; Media Arts and Professor of English, Vanderbilt University, USA *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003epreface \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eacknowledgements\u003c\/i\u003e  Chapter One.

The three essential acoustic elements that structure a film - music, words and noise - propel this book's fascinating journey through his work. Exploring the director's extensive back catalogue, including Stranger Than Paradise (1984), Down By Law (1986), Dead Man (1995), and Only Lovers Left Alive (2013) Sara Piazza's unique reading reveals how Jarmusch created a form of \"sound democracy\" in film, in which all acoustic layers are capable of infiltrating each other and in which sound is not subordinate to the visual. In his cultural melting pot, hierarchies are irrelevant: Schubert and Japanese noise-bands, Marlowe and Betty Boop can co-exist easily side-by-side. Developing the innovative idea of a Silent-Sound Film, Piazza identifies prefiguring elements from pre-sound-era film in Jarmusch's work. Highlighting the importance of Jarmusch's treatment of sound, Piazza investigates how the director's distinctive reputation consolidated itself over the course of a thirty-year career.Based in New York, Jarmusch was able to develop a fiercely personal vision far from the commercial pressures of Hollywood. The book uses wide-ranging examples from music, film, literature and visual art, and features interviews with many prominent figures including Ennio Morricone, Luc Sante, Roberto Benigni, John Lurie, and Jarmusch himself.An innovative account of a much-admired body of work, Jim Jarmusch will appeal not only to the many fans of the director, but also all those interested in the connections between sound and film.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reaktion Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48740990943575,"sku":"9781780234410","price":21.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781780234410.jpg?v=1720056238"},{"product_id":"mornings-in-the-dark-the-graham-greene-film-reader-9781784109998","title":"Mornings in the Dark: The Graham Greene Film","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFew novelists have taken films as seriously, or been closely involved in so many aspects of the film business all their lives, as Graham Greene.

Artificial Intelligence\u003c\/i\u003e (Steven Spielberg, 2001). Naremore offers provocative analyses of each of Kubrick's films, considering his emphasis on the absurdity of combat, as in\u003ci\u003e Paths of Glory\u003c\/i\u003e (1957) and \u003ci\u003eFull Metal Jacket \u003c\/i\u003e(1987), the failure of scientific reasoning, as in \u003ci\u003e2001\u003c\/i\u003e (1968), and the fascistic impulses in masculine sexuality, as in \u003ci\u003eDr Strangelove \u003c\/i\u003e(1964) and \u003ci\u003eEyes Wide Shut\u003c\/i\u003e (1999). He argues that while Kubrick was a voracious intellectual and a life-long autodidact, the fascination of his work has less to do with the ideas it espouses than with the emotions it evokes.    Combining close readings with new insights into the production histories and cultural contexts of key films, Naremore provides a concise yet thorough discussion that will be useful to students of Kubrick's filmmaking and cinephiles who seek a deeper insight into the work of this perfectionist genius.  Revised throughout, this new edition also includes a fully updated bibliography of critical writings on Kubrick's cinema.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures Acknowledgements for the Revised Edition Acknowledgements for the First Edition Introduction to the New Edition: Kubrick’s Cold Modernism and Major Themes \u003cb\u003ePART I Prologue\u003c\/b\u003e 1.

The scripts and essays collected in this volume trace the historical significance of a complex cinematic project that brought feminist, semiotic and psychoanalytic concerns together with formal devices and strategies.
