Audrey Hepburn: International Cover Girl

Titan Books, 2009. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. 9781848566118 Clean unmarked pages, slight creasing to corners and spine ends of jacket. A nicely kept copy. This book has many hundreds of colour magazine covers of Audrey. It only makes one wish one had all the magazines too! even some rarer magazines are included like Finnish elokuva aitta/ film attic and so on. The covers are presented in a timeline with few pages of Audrey's life history in between. The book is not a biography but a celebration of international star on cover of magazines. It's great one to have if one is a fan of Audrey and likes to watch her printed pictures. Each page has small explanations and notes of the magazines. It's not ordinary book of pictures and maybe that's why I like it so much. it's 272 pages so a lot of covers to admire! (Reader review) 272 pages. Quantity Available: 1.

A Second Life: German Cinema's First Decades

Amsterdam University Press, 2014. Softcover. Fine Condition. 9789053561720 Clean unmarked pages, no highlighting or annotations, slight creasing to top of front cover. German cinema is best known for its so-called "Golden Age" - the Expressionist films of the 1920s - and for its long line of outstanding individual directors, from Fritz Lang and Ernst Lubitsch, F. W. Murnau and G. W. Pabst, to Werner Herzog and Wim Wenders, R. W. Fassbinder and Alexander Kluge. But the double spotlight on art cinema and auteurs, reflecting this national cinema's struggle for cultural respectability and reliance on psychological introspection, has only deepened the obscurity surrounding the other side of that history: the face and fate of its popular cinema. A case in point are the first two decades, about which little is known, even though German history has benefited in recent years from a renewed interest in early cinema generally. Critical attention has, however, so far tended to concentrate on institutions, cultural discourses, production companies, or the exhibition situation. Surprisingly few detailed analyses exist of the films themselves and of their (narrative and non-narrative) forms, styles and genres. The same applies to the stars popular with audiences before the foundation of the Ufa in 1917. In order for historians to fill this gap, much recovery and restoration work has been done in the archives. The 1995 centenary of cinema has provided an additional impetus, and scholars have begun to retrieve basic bibliographical and filmographical information. This text makes full use of the opportunities created over recent years by this scholarship and change of policy among archivists. The contributors put forward persuasive arguments for the importance of close examination of some key films surviving in international archives. They focus in particular on the extensive German holdings of the Jean Desmet collection at the Netherlands Film Museum in Amsterdam. The volume is divided into four sections: "Genres and Styles", "Stars, Authors, Audiences", "Case Studies" and "Periodisation and Paradigms". Many individual films are looked at, some for the first time since their original screening. 352 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Film, Radio & Television; ISBN/EAN: 9789053561720. Inventory No: dscf10157.

Women in Polish Cinema

Berghahn Books, 2005. Softcover. As New. 9781571819482 In as new condition. Clean bright and unmarked... an important contribution to film studies not only in Poland, but in Eastern and Central Europe in general. The authors demonstrate that women are both revered and despised in Polish culture, a phenomenon Mazierska and Ostrowska attribute to the persistence of overt patriarchy in both social relations and culture. This system of thought, they aver, has shaped and policed the lives of Polish women for generations. --Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television 244 pages. Quantity Available: 1.

Film Composers in America: A Filmography, 1911-1970

OUP, 2000. second Edition, Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. 9780195114737 Clean unmarked pages, lightly worn jacket. A well looked-after copy. The product of forty-five years of research, this landmark reference stands as the first study to identify all composers who wrote background musical scores for motion pictures in the US up to 1970. In the process, film-expert McCarty also documents the authorship of approximately 20,000 film scores. More than 1,500 composers are represented in these pages, not only Hollywood professionals but also many composers of concert music-as well as popular music and other genres-whose cinematic work has never before been fully catalogued. Movies of all types are included: features, shorts, cartoons, documentaries, nontheatrical works, avant-garde films, and even trailers. Wherever possible, the information is based on the most reliable evidence, that of the manuscript scores and cue sheets (as opposed to less accurate screen credits). 544 pages. Quantity Available: 1.
