This book illustrates a distinctive lineage of critical interventions in moving image culture and in the public sphere through the trajectories of a small number of film and video organizations established between the 1970s and the early 1980s in Western Europe and North America mainly by women and still operative today.¿The six case studies examined (Drac Màgic, Women Make Movies, Groupe Intervention Vidéo, Leeds Animation Workshop, bildwechsel, Centre Audiovisuel Simone de Beauvoir) have maintained a discrete yet continuing presence within an audiovisual industry and a cultural system dominated by institutionalized and corporate forms of production and distribution. Their longevity - quite a rarity in the independent circuit - makes a strong case for the sustainability of feminist/LGBTQ media activism in the public sphere, in spite of its low-key profile.¿This volume will be of interest to academicians of history and communication studies, feminist and LGBTQ topics, and gender-related cinematic culture.

Focusing on Netflix's child and family-orientated platform exclusive content, this book offers the first exploration of a controversial genre cycle of dark science fiction, horror, and fantasy television under Netflix's "Family Watch Together TV" tag.Using a ground-breaking mix of methods including audience research, interface, and textual analysis, the book demonstrates how Netflix is producing dark family telefantasy content that is both reshaping child and family-friendly TV genres and challenging earlier broadcast TV models around child-appropriate family viewing. It illuminates how Netflix encourages family audiences to "watch together" through intergenerational dynamics that work on and offscreen. The chapters in this book explore how this "Netflixication" of family television developed across landmark examples including Stranger Things, A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, and even Squid Game. The book outlines how Netflix is consolidating a new dark family terrain in the streaming sector, which is unsettling older concepts of family viewing, leading to considerable audience and critical confusion around target audiences and viewer expectations.This book will be of particular interest to upper-level undergraduates, graduates, and scholars in the fields of television studies, screen genre studies, childhood studies, and cultural studies.

Most critical writings on horror films conceptualise woman as victim. Creed challenges this view with a feminist psychoanalytic critique, discussing films such as Alien, I Spit on Your Grave and Psycho.

This book is a first and long-awaited study of the directorial work of the animation master Fëdor Khitruk (1917-2012), an artist who formed in the tradition of classical cel animation only to break the conventions once he turned into a director; a liaison between artists and authorities; a personality who promoted daring films to be created in the Soviet Union dominated by socialist realism; and a teacher and supporter of young artists that continued to carry on his legacy long after the Soviet empire collapsed.Fëdor Khitruk: A Look at Soviet Animation through the Work of One Master reveals Khitruk's mastery in the art of the moving image and his critical role as a director of films that changed the look of Soviet animation and its relation to the animation world within and beyond the Eastern Bloc. Based on archival research, personal interviews, published memoirs, and perceptive analyses of Khitruk's production of films for children and adults, this study is a must-read for scholars in Soviet art and culture as well as readers fascinated by traditional animation art.

This book is a cultural history of post-Wall urban, social, political, and cultural transformations in Berlin.Branding Berlin: From Division to the Cultural Capital of Europe presents a cultural analysis of Berlin's cultural production, including literature, film, memoirs and non-fiction works, art, media, urban branding campaigns, and cultural diversity initiatives put forth by the Berlin Senate, and allows readers to understand the various changes that transformed the formerly divided city of voids into a hip cultural capital. The book examines Berlin's branding, urban-economic development, and its search for a post-Wall identity by focusing on manifestations of nostalgic longing in documentary films and other cultural products. Building on the sociological research of urban branding and linking it with an interpretive analysis of cultural products generated in Berlin during that time, the author examines the intersections and tensions between the nostalgic views of the past and the branded images of Berlin's present and future.This insightful and innovative work will interest scholars and students of cultural and media studies, branding and advertising, urban communication, film studies, visual culture, tourism, and cultural memory.

This book argues that philosophical pessimism can offer vital impulses for contemporary cultural studies. Pessimist thought offers ways to interrogate notions of temporality, progress and futurity. When the horizon of future expectation is increasingly shaped by the prospect of apocalypse and extinction, an exploration of pessimist thought can help to make sense of an increasingly complex and uncertain world by affirming rather than suppressing the worst. This book argues that a cultural logic of the worst is at work in a substantial section of contemporary philosophical thought and cultural representations.Spectres of pessimism can be found in contemporary ecocritical thought, antinatalist philosophies, political thought, and cultural theory, as well as in literature, film, and popular music. In its unsettling of temporality, this new pessimism shares sensibilities with the field of hauntology. Both deconstruct linear narratives of time that adhere to a stable sequence of past, present and future. Mark Schmitt therefore couples pessimism and hauntology to explore the spectres of pessimism in a range of theories and narratives¿from ecocriticism, antinatalism and queer theory to utopianism, from afropessimism to the fiction of Hari Kunzru and Thomas Ligotti to the films of Camille Griffin, Gaspar Noé, Denis Villeneuve and Lars von Trier.

"For many years, the state of the galaxy between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope was a mystery to Star Wars fans. With the release of Star Wars: Rebels and Rogue One, and more recently, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Andor, an exciting new era has begun to emerge-the Dawn of Rebellion. Before Luke Skywalker ever picked up a lightsaber, the rebels were scattered and desperate bands of idealists, fighting their own battles against the might of the Empire. Victories were few, losses high, and danger ever-present. This Visual Guide charts this darkest of times, revealing all of the key characters, locations, vehicles, and weapons from the hit Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi and Andor, with supporting material from the Skywalker saga. Includes an exclusive new cross-section artwork of the Fondor Hauler"--

"An arresting illustrated history of twins in mythology, science, and visual culture. Twins have captivated the imagination for centuries, occupying a unique place in our cultural and scientific history.

A visual journey like no other, this book sheds critical light on the competing visions of twins around the world and throughout history, showing how the lived experience of twinkind has elicited profound attraction and respect, but also puzzlement, fear, and fascination."--

Released in 1919, Anders als die Andern is a remarkable artefact of the pre-Stonewall homosexual rights movement of early-twentieth-century Germany. Ervin Malakaj shows how the film's "mournful cinema" is key to its endurance, fostering connection through emotions and acting as a springboard to engage in an intergenerational queer struggle.

La carrera de John Fante tras un éxito esquivo está repleta de anécdotas sorprendentes y giros inesperados. El último, el encuentro casual entre su obra y las manos de Charles Bukowski en una biblioteca de Los Ángeles, sería el que le permitiría, finalmente, darle caza. En el despertar tardío de la bibliografía fantiana sobresale Ask the Dust, un retrato en claroscuro del amor fatal en los márgenes de la L.A. de los años 30 que golpeó la inspiración del director y guionista Robert Towne al primer contacto: arrancaba entonces un nuevo pillapilla entre la pasión del genio y el pragmatismo de la industria que recorrería los pasillos de Hollywood durante más de tres décadas. 2006 pondría término a la espera y alfombra roja a la película: Ask the Dust desembarcaba en los cines estadounidenses. Por fin.Este trabajo da cuerpo a las historias esbozadas en las líneas anteriores, pero también penetra en una fracción de la alfaguara paratextual que sucedió al lanzamiento de la película para analizar su recepción por parte de crítica y público. Al mismo tiempo, sus páginas calibran el peso de la (in)fidelidad a la novela en sus valoraciones y desglosan cómo aborda cada audiencia este aspecto, tan central como controvertido en la genealogía de los estudios de adaptación. Para saber más, no hace falta preguntar al polvo: basta con leer este libro.

Aiming at a long-overdue reappraisal of Dore O.'s avant-garde film practice, this publication honors the work and legacy of Dore O., one of Germany's most pioneering experimental filmmakers.Figures of Absence exposes the formal rigor and inventiveness as well as the cultural connotations and historical ramifications of a cinematic vision that has been relegated to the purely personal, diaristic, and even nonintellectual realms. Ultimately, the authors' revisionist accounts of Dore O.'s films spark a debate on still underrepresented areas of women's experimental cinema, its dismissive reception across international borders, its legacy, and the history and causes of its marginalization.In the 1960s, the painter Dore O. became one of the first and few women in Germany to turn to experimental film in such a consistent and self-determined way. She was actively involved in exploring new forms of cinema while developing her own "signature, her own tone, her own film method" (Harun Farocki). Radically following her own path, she laid the groundwork for a later generation of notably female artists by cultivating personal filmmaking in a strong intersection with medium-specific experimentation while defying highly politicized currents and prevailing theories, both structural and feminist.With previously unpublished archival material and rare interviews with Dore O., extensive image material, as well as new contributions from the leading scholars and experts on women's experimental cinema from Europe and North America, including Albert Alcoz, Ute Aurand, Robin Blaetz, Christine Noll Brinckmann, Stephen Broomer, Vera Dika, Mike Hoolboom, Sarah Keller, Anthony Moore, Lucy Reynolds, and Maureen Turim, among others.

Este libro representa una propuesta de revisión de la literatura española del Siglo de Oro en sus traslaciones al cine y la televisión, con especial atención a los novedosos focos interpretativos que se activan con el acceso a materiales audiovisuales en la era digital. El autor no solo recorre algunos hitos de este diálogo entre los textos literarios y los fílmicos, como las variadas recreaciones del Quijote o del teatro del siglo XVII, sino que reivindica el estudio, a la luz de nuevas perspectivas metodológicas, de películas como El Buscón (1979) o series como El jardín de Venus (1983). Su análisis se centra en el modo en que se ha construido culturalmente la relación entre la literatura y el cine, atendiendo no a la exigencia de «adecuación» a unas egregias fuentes, sino al contexto de producción en que se han gestado las adaptaciones. El lector podrá encontrar, además, un retrato generacional del nuevo alumnado que estudia la cultura del Siglo de Oro en estos tiempos líquidos y de la prisa y la inmediatez, y conocer algunas fórmulas y recursos para impulsar la lectura y el aprecio de las obras áureas y sus reescrituras en el cine y la ficción televisiva.
