Aristophanes is acknowledged as the greatest of the Greek comic writers and is the only one whose works has survived in complete form. He was born in Athens and had his first comedy produced when he was so young that his name was withheld on account of his youth. He is credited with over forty plays, eleven of which survive, along with the names and fragments of some twenty-six others. He died in 388 BC."The Frogs" was produced the year after the death of Euripides and laments the decay of Greek tragedy. It is an excellent example of his style, mingling wit and poetry with rowdy humour and a keen sense for satire. Through his hostility to Euripides and his attacks on Socrates, he makes it clear that he prefers tradition over innovation, whether that be in politics, religion, or art. This new adaptation is faithful to the story whilst using language understood by a modern audience.

«Documentary in the Age of COVID is a timely and astute volume that affirms and challenges our thinking about how the cultural and technological disruption brought by the pandemic response has upended documentary culture. It is a guiding light for documentary practitioners and scholars as they navigate the new terrain of a post-COVID world.»(Professor Belinda Smaill, Monash University)This collection responds to the unusual and disturbing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. The volume surveys the immediate effects of the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in documentary film cultures as well as providing a space for unpacking the recent past and future of documentary in the context of the pandemic¿s possible effects. It is published as part of Peter Lang¿s Documentary Film Cultures series and reflects the value of documentary as an enduring and influential channel of media discourse and community of practice. Media producers have been forced to both interrogate their chosen professions and innovate with limited resources. Already, we are seeing new distribution and production methods emerge to highlight the importance of media-makers as essential workers, as they are uniquely equipped with the ability to represent the various dialogues undertaken to respond to the cultural, social, economic and political challenges the pandemic has foisted on global society.

Chick flicks. Brokeback Mountain. Bollywood. Superhero movies. Sophie's Choice. Sandra Bullock. Avant-garde musicals... If this sort of stuff is your cup of tea, then this isn't the book for you. Blokey film enthusiast Dave Franklin instead concentrates on the politically incorrect delights of Coffy, Magnum Force and Boogie Nights while paying tribute to the likes of Christopher Walken, Paul Schrader, 70's disaster movies and Brian De Palma. There's even some tongue-in-cheek appreciation of the God-like Steven Seagal. So settle back, forget about identity politics and the prevailing lefty narrative, and immerse yourself in a book that values celluloid entertainment above all else. Or as Rob Reiner says at the start of the immortal Spinal Tap: "Enough of my yakking. Let's boogie."

"Unsere Filme sind weder fiktional noch dokumentarisch. Sie kommen aus dem Land unserer Vorfahren und kehren in es zuru¿ck. Sie gehen aus dem Leben, das wir mit unseren durlg (Träumen) wirklich leben, hervor und versinken wieder in ihm." - Karrabing Film Collective Das Karrabing Film Collective ist eine basisorientierte indigene Film- und Kunstgruppe, die 2007 gegru¿ndet wurde und gegenwärtig im Top End des Northern Territory in Australien sesshaft ist. Die Filme des Kollektivs wurden u. a. auf der Countour Biennale 8 (2017), den 67. Internationalen Filmfestspielen Berlin - Berlinale (2017), der documenta 14 (2017), und der Sydney Biennale (2016) präsentiert. Die Gruppe besteht aus rund 50 Mitgliedern. Das Kollektiv versteht seine ku¿nstlerische Praxis als Mo¿glichkeit der Selbstorganisation und der sozialen Analyse. Auf lokaler Ebene werden ku¿nstlerische Sprachen entwickelt, die Einblicke in neue Formen der kollektiven indigenen Handlungsfähigkeit gewähren. Die Filme ko¿nnen stilistisch als "improvisierter Realismus" beschrieben werden und versuchen, einen Raum jenseits der Binaritäten von Fiktion und Dokumentation oder Vergangenheit und Gegenwart zu ero¿nen. Der Ausgangspunkt der Ausstellung im Haus der Kunst ist die Frage, was uns die von Karrabing entwickelte einzigartige filmische und methodische Sprache u¿ber die heutige Gesellschaft lehren kann.Der umfangreiche begleitende Reader Wonderland gibt durch Essays, Interviews, freiere Textformen und Polemiken erstmalig einen Einblick in das soziale, kulturelle und historische Umfeld und Schaen des Kollektivs. Mit einem Vorwort von Andrea Lissoni, einem kuratorischen Essay von Damian Lentini sowie gesammelten Beiträgen von Richard Bell, Kirsty Howey, May Adadol Ingawanij, Tess Lea, Elizabeth A. Povinelli, Matariki Williams und Vivian Ziherl "Our films are neither fiction nor nonfiction. They come from and return to our ancestral lands. They emerge from and sink back into the lives we are actually living with our durlg (dreamings)."-Karrabing Film Collective Karrabing Film Collective is a grassroots Indigenous film and arts group founded in 2007 and currently based in the Top End of Australia's Northern Territory. The Collective's films have been presented in exhibitions and at festivals including the 8th Contour Biennale (2017), the 67th International Film Festival Berlin-Berlinale (2017), documenta 14 (2017), and the Sydney Biennial (2016). The group currently numbers around fifty members, who see their collective creative practice as a form of self-organization and social analysis. Artistic languages are developed on the local level, which in turn let the audience understand new forms of collective indigenous agency. The films, whose style is labeled as "improvisational realism," seek to open a space beyond the binaries of fiction and documentary or past and present. The exhibition at the Haus der Kunst is guided by the question of what the unique filmic and methodical language developed by Karrabing can teach us about today's society.

A harrowing battle against the Lords leaves the Rungans without weapons or supplies. Colm splits the tired Rungan warriors into two groups. As both make the climb to the summit, the Lords begin their pursuit. The Lords discover that they are not well suited for the climb or the cold, and their calls for reinforcements are met with confusion and catastrophe. Still, they too create two groups and each pursues the Warrior groups up the mountain. Halfway up, they decide to camp out and wait for the Warriors to run out of supplies and return to the ground and right into their hands. Though they believe they can wipe them out, the Lords instead wish to use the Rungans, to turn them against the Spears with false promises. Before these promises can be heard, however, the Warriors plan their victory, using their knowledge of the forest to their advantage, making weapons out of nature in an overwhelming defeat of the Lords.

It's an epic tale that spans more than 30 years. As the Cold War took hold at that dawn of the 1950s the U.S. government began a program to perfect the atom bomb. The Nevada Test Site would be the prime location for testing atomic weapons on U.S. soil. A key to the program was to reduce impact to the public by having the radioactive nuclear fallout drift "downwind" into sparsely-inhabited areas of Utah. Who Nuked The Duke? looks at the program through the camera lens and filming of the 1954 RKO epic The Conqueror. The John Wayne feature, from producer Howard Hughes, would be filmed inside the infamous Snow Canyon, "a key resevoir" of nuclear fallout. As the years ticked by cast and crew would succumb, one by one, to a host of cancers. Director Dick Powell, co-star Pedro Armendariz, leading lady Susan Hayward, co-star Agnes Moorehead, and ultimately John Wayne himself. Along with countless other cast and crew, they represent a microcosm of what happened in the Utah community where the movie was filmed. Taking an objective look back at the government program, the scientific facts behind the testing and its impact on the community, as well as the lives of the Hollywood stars, Who Nuked The Duke? offers a rare look inside movie history and the Atomic Energy program. This award-winning book was first published in 2014 and has been updated in 2023. Who Nuked The Duke? was an inspiration for the film documentary Conqueor: Hollywood Fallout.

Judy Garland was one of the greatest entertainers of the twentieth century. As Yip Harburg, who composed the lyrics for "Over the Rainbow," wrote in a letter to Ms. Garland, "I would consider myself fully compensated and my life work richly rewarded because of your singing of Rainbow alone. It is a gift most writers are never lucky enough to know. Your voice, above all others, touches a song with immortality and carries in it the prayer and wonder of all mankind." Judy Garland: The Movie Roles That Might Have Been is the only book the details the movie projects in which the singer/actress might have starred. Such projects range from films never made including Babes in Hollywood with Mickey Rooney and Cabbages and Kings with Van Johnson to motion pictures for which Judy was considered but another actress got the role. These include the musicals Good News and Take Me Out to the Ball Game. Where possible, the actual treatment or script tailored for Ms. Garland's talents is described in the book. Over ninety motion picture projects are represented. Richard Irvin is the author of several books about the entertainment industry including The Most Obscure Cult TV Shows Ever, The Forgotten Desi and Lucy TV Projects, and Four Star Television Productions - all published by Bear Manor Media.

n his twenty-fifth artist's book, Volker Renner adapts the courtroom drama genre. On the movie screen, the latter is defined by its heavy reliance on dialogue; Renner, by contrast, lets the pictures speak. And it was images, not words, that moved the millions who, through twenty-five days of proceedings, seized on the opportunity to watch the livestream of the trial pitting Johnny Depp against Amber Heard on Court TV, YouTube, or various other social media channels. Both the ex-husband and wife's media-savvy self-dramatization and the viewers' reactions and comments grew to hitherto unseen dimensions. The two actors' private lives were staged for all to see, reality-show-style, as though as based on a secret screenplay. In "Ein Prozess," Volker Renner now opens the pages of that storyboard.Each day of the hearings and trial in 2021 and 2022 is the subject of a dedicated chapter in which the artist has the principal characters appear in film stills he extracted from the recordings from the trial. Hewing to a rigorously documentary approach, he compiles a visual transcript of the presentation of evidence, making it accessible to a discourse analysis that, in the Foucauldian tradition, investigates not just language but above all the language of images. Even the allegation that prompted the trial concerned the damage to a star's public image, rather than a truth that could be borne out by evidence: more than anything else, it is images that are seen and read today and that, in being seen and read, exert the greatest power imaginable in the struggle over what is right and fair.

Attorney Billy Halleck seriously enjoys living his life of upper-class excess. He's got it all; an expensive home in Connecticut, a loving family... and fifty extra pounds that his doctor repeatedly warns will be the death of him. Then, in a moment of carelessness, Halleck commits vehicular manslaughter when he strikes a jaywalking old woman crossing the street. But Halleck has some powerful local connections, and gets off with a slap on the wrist...much to the fury of the woman's mysterious and ancient father, who exacts revenge with a single uttered word... Thinner. Now a terrified Halleck finds the weight once so difficult to shed dropping effortlessly-and rapidly-day by day. Soon there will be nothing left of Billy Halleck...unless he can somehow locate the source of his living nightmare and reverse what's happened to him before he wastes away... ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿Two terrifying versions of the original screenplay adapted by horror legend Tom Holland (Fright Night/Child's Play) and horror author legend Michael McDowell, based on the novel by Stephen King (as Richard Bachman).

»In seiner Anmerkung zu der in England 1994 als Landscape as Inspiration erschienenen Ausgabe meines Buches Neue Landschaftsarchitektur / New Landscape Architecture vergleicht Geoffrey Jellicoe meine Zeichnungsüberlegungen mit den Arbeiten Paul Klees. Was zunächst etwas hochgegriffen klingt, ist insofern richtig, als ich mich in allem, was ich zeichne, entwerfe und realisiere, nicht ausschließlich im banalen Alltags- und Funktionsraum bewege, sondern immer zweite und dritte Surrealitäten mit reflektiere. »Kunst gibt nicht das Sichtbare wieder, sondern macht sichtbar«, so formulierte Paul Klee den Vorgang. Zu Recht könnte jeder Betrachter und Leser die Frage dagegenstellen: Was haben derartige Kunst-äußerungen mit der Alltagsarchitektur zu tun? Ich denke: sehr viel, und zwar deswegen, weil alle Architekturprobleme und deren Lösungen mehrschichtig sind, genauso wie reine Kunstwerke. Jeder Bau faßt seine architektonische, städtische, dörfliche und landschaftliche Umgebung zusammen und definiert sie neu. Gewollt oder ungewollt, übertrieben oder zurückhaltend, jeder Bau kann wirken wie ein Meteor- oder Bombeneinschlag, eine unauffällige Anmerkung oder ein Verschönerungsattentat. Mich interessieren an einem städtischen oder landschaftlichen Ort die Vergangenheit, die Gegenwart und die Zukunft. Mein Blick will archäologische Arbeitsweisen genauso integrieren wie Funktionserfüllungen und phantasievoll-surreale, manchmal auch utopische Ausblühungen. Ich würde niemals so weit gehen zu behaupten: Architektur ist das Notwendige, und Kunst ist das Unnötige. Natürlich wird jeder Künstler-Architekt, der sich auf diesen kompliziert-komplexen Weg begibt, Schwierigkeiten mit der banalen, scheinbar oberflächlichen Alltagsrealität in der Natur, der Landschaft und der Stadt bekommen. Deswegen ist es nicht verwunderlich, daß ich nur wenige Architekturen und Bildinszenierungen verwirklichen konnte und daß ich im Laufe der letzten Jahrzehnte zunehmend in die Bühnenbild- und Gestaltungsbereiche abgedrängt wurde. Im Augenblick interessiert sich, dank der ökologischen Bewegung, kaum noch jemand für die Verbindung von Kunst und Architektur. Wichtiger sind Nachhaltigkeits- und Nullenergiehäuser, bei denen sich kaum noch die Fenster öffnen lassen. Könnte es sein, daß Baukultur, ja die gesamte Kultur, bald in grünen Urwäldern und riesigen Feuchtbiotopen versinkt? Oder werden vorher fremde, kriegerische Völker unsere Städte und Landschaften zerstören oder besetzen und neu kultivieren?«

A radical history of transness in cinema, and an exploration of the political possibilities of its future.In the history of cinema, trans people are usually murdered, made into a joke, or viewed as threats to the normal order — relegated to a lost highway of corpses, fools, and monsters.In this book, trans film critics Caden Mark Gardner and Willow Catelyn Maclay take the reader on a drive down this lost highway, exploring the way that trans people and transness have evolved on-screen.Starting from the very earliest representations of transness in silent film, through to the multiplex-conquering Matrix franchise and on to the emergence of a true trans-authored cinema, Corpses, Fools and Monsters spans everything from musicals to body horror to avant garde experimental film to tell the story of the trans film image. In doing so, the authors investigate the wider history of trans representation — an exhilarating journey of compromise, recuperation, and potential liberation that they argue is only just the beginning.

The Fundamentals of Film-Making provides an overview of the collaborative process of film-making.The book maps out the practical, technical and creative aspects involved, sets out the division of labour, and explains how each individual role combines to influence the final piece.

"Werner Herzog was born in September 1942 in Munich, Germany, at a turning point in the Second World War. Soon Germany would be defeated and a new world would have to be made out the rubble and horrors of the war. Fleeing the Allied bombing raids, Herzog's mother took him and his older brother to a remote, rustic part of Bavaria where he would spend much of his childhood hungry, without running water, in deep poverty. It was there, as the new postwar order was emerging, that one of the most visionary filmmakers of the next seven decades was formed ... [This book] is ... a firsthand personal record of one of the great and self-invented lives of our time"--

This book takes readers on a series of stimulating intellectual journeys from the late nineteenth century to the contemporary era to explore notions of modernity in the production and reception of the African moving image and of African archival practices. Ideas are presented from multiple historical and contemporary perspectives, while inviting new voices to participate in discussions about the future of the African moving image. Reframing Africa? makes a plea for the recognition, preservation and repatriation of the African moving image archive, advancing ideas about how it speaks to contemporary Africans, possessed of the power to elucidate their lived experiences and to reorientate perceptions of the past, present and future. On the basis of this wide-ranging appreciation of the archive, the book charts a way forward for African-inflected film studies as well as other programmes in the humanities and social sciences.
