Palgrave MacMillan UK Live To Your Local Cinema The Remarkable Rise of Livecasting Palgrave Pivot
Book SynopsisThe digital broadcasting of performances to cinemas, or 'livecasting', burst onto the world scene in 2006. This book explores the reasons for its rise, examines the aesthetics of filming theatre and opera performances, and explores who the audiences are and what they want.Trade Review'A welcome addition to what the author correctly argues is a small body of existing work. This one has the distinct advantage of offering the reader both an excellent empirical perspective and a keen sense of the critical issues underpinning development.' - Stuart Hanson, De Montfort University, UK 'Barker's analysis deftly explores the difference between a staged presentation and the manner in which this is translated into a live video feed, as well as the cultural influences that such "livecasting" has on audiences. The book is short but insightful, part of the new Palgrave Pivot series of brief books that tackle key topics with brevity and style, published in hardcover at a reasonable price and also available as a digital download. Live to Your Local Cinema demonstrates how live video broadcasting has democratized culture for the masses, making hitherto elite, often unaffordable spectacles available to all.' - W. W. Dixon, University of Nebraska Lincoln, Choice (August 2013) 'Live to Your Local Cinema provides an excellent overview of the history of live broadcast and is also a valuable resource for cinema exhibitors wishing to develop their relationship and engagement with this quite different audience for the growing number and range of Alternative Content on offer. Since reading Live to Your Local Cinema we've put in place a number of changes that I know that those who chose, for whatever reason, to experience their 'high culture' on screen in the cinema will appreciate. It seems that the livecast is here to stay and as the first book to make Alternative Content its main focus, we look forward to Martin's questions in the final chapter being answered and the debate around 'liveness' continuing.' - Jaki McDougall, CEO, Glasgow Film: GFT and Glasgow Film FestivalTable of ContentsThe Success-Story With No Name The Aesthetics of Livecasting A Portrait of Livecasts' Audiences The Many Meanings of 'Liveness' Livecasts' Audiences Talk about 'Liveness' The Cultural Status of Livecasts The Next Research Tasks?

Bloomsbury Publishing Plc The French Film Musical
Book SynopsisLike many national cinemas, the French cinema has a rich tradition of film musicals beginning with the advent of sound to the present. This is the first book to chart the development of the French film musical. The French film musical is remarkable for its breadth and variety since the 1930s; although it flirts with the Hollywood musical in the 1930s and again in the 1950s, it has very distinctive forms rooted in the traditions of French chanson. Defining it broadly as films attracting audiences principally because of musical performances, often by well-known singers, Phil Powrie and Marie Cadalanu show how the genre absorbs two very different traditions with the advent of sound: European operetta and French chanson inflected by American jazz (1930-1950). As the genre matures, operetta develops into big-budget spectaculars with popular tenors, and revue films also showcase major singers in this period (1940-1960). Both sub-genres collapse with the advent of rock n roll, leading Trade ReviewPhil Powrie and Marie Cadalanu’s book categorically disproves the cliché about French cinema having no musical tradition, with the one exception of Jacques Demy. In this ground-breaking volume, the authors reveal the extraordinary wealth and diversity of the musical tradition in French cinema since the coming of sound. Encompassing popular and auteur film, they demonstrate that, if there is not one ‘musical genre’ in France, there are myriad ways in which French film interacts with a wide range of cultural traditions, from cabaret, music-hall, chanson réaliste, operetta and opera to jazz bands and pop music, in an unbroken line from René Clair to François Ozon and Christophe Honoré, via Josephine Baker, Charles Trenet, Edith Piaf and Johnny Hallyday. * Ginette Vincendeau, Professor in Film Studies, King’s College London, UK *Powrie and Cadalanu excavate the vibrant and varied tradition of the French film musical from the early sound musicals of René Clair to the recent nostalgia-inflected revival of the form. The authors illuminate the genre’s iconic performers, Edith Piaf and Josephine Baker, but weave fresh figures into the story, notably fou chantant Charles Trenet, crooners Tino Rossi, Luis Mariano, and Georges Guétary, and big band powerhouse Ray Ventura and his Orchestra. Especially welcome is the information on the French film musical’s production contexts from the 1930s through the 1950s, when the genre embraced jazz, big band, and operetta. The authors rightly identify the musicals of Jacques Demy as a turning point from popular to auteur-inflected work and provide welcome attention to the musicals of Godard, Varda, Akerman, and Resnais. Wisely avoiding the argument that the French film musical died with the birth of yéyé and youth culture, the authors instead reveal the never-ending transformation of the genre, emphasizing its nostalgia for community and its productive recycling of earlier forms of entertainment. * Kelley Conway, Communication Arts Partners Professor, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA *Table of Contents1.
