"Written by Disney legend Andreas Deja and lavishly illustrated, Walt Disney's The Jungle Book gathers original animation celluloids, animation drawings, and concept art--many of which have never been shown to the public--from the popular exhibition at the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco. Considered one of the most influential Disney movies, The Jungle Book (1967) is the last animated film that Walt Disney personally produced with his signature vision and footprint. This curated collection explores the nuanced complexities and challenges that were overcome throughout the film's development and production, such as the unique characters and their voice-actor counterparts, the application of cutting-edge animation techniques of the time, and the timeless, original songs by the Sherman Brothers and Terry Gilkyson. Dive into the impact of Walt's passing on the Disney Studios and the everlasting legacy of the film throughout the world."--Book jacket.

Often hailed as the 'best' James Bond film, From Russia With Love (1963) is celebrated for its direction by Terence Young, memorable performances from Sean Connery in his second outing as 007, Pedro Armendáriz as Kerim, Lotte Lenya as the lesbian villain Colonel Rosa Klebb, and Robert Shaw as Red Grant, the sexually ambiguous SPECTRE assassin. And regardless of its place within the longest-running continuous film series in cinema history, it is also an outstanding example of the British spy thriller in its own right.Llewella Chapman's study of the iconic film pinpoints its place within the James Bond film franchise, and its significant cultural value to critics and fans as well as this film's important place within British cinema history more widely. Drawing on a broad range of archival sources, Chapman traces the film's development and production history, including its adaptation from Ian Fleming's source novel, as well as its reception and lasting impact. Chapman also considers the film's portrayal of gender politics, with its queer villains counterpoised with the heterosexual couple Bond and his Russian counterpart Tatiana Romanova, the context of Cold War politics, and the influence of Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest (1959).

Set in a grand country house during the late Edwardian era, season one of Downton Abbey follows the lives of the Crawley family upstairs and their servants downstairs as they approach the announcement of the First World War. Fellowes succeeds in not only entertaining his audience with a combination of sustained storylines and sharp one-liners but also in delivering a social commentary of British life. The scripts from season one give readers the opportunity to read the work in more detail and to study the characters, pace, and themes in depth. With extended commentary from Fellowes, highlighting key historical or dramatic details, this book gives invaluable insight, particularly for would-be screenwriters, into how Fellowes researched and crafted the world of Downton Abbey.Featuring full-color photographs

Den ser nærmere på, hvordan Game of Thrones på original vis bygger bro mellem fan­tasy­genren med dertil hørende overnaturlige hændelser, ildspyende drager og apokalyptiske hvide vandrere og en række problemstillinger af politisk og eksistentiel karak­ ter, som har optaget filosoffer og forfattere fra oldtiden og frem til i dag. Også temaer som magt, køn og reli­gion udsættes for en indgående undersøgelse, ligesom der foretages en dybdegående analyse af tv­-seriens nøglefigu­rer såsom magtstrategen Tyrion Lannister, dragemoderen Daenerys Targaryen, konfliktmægleren Jon Snow, ’seeren’ Bran Stark og den skruppelløse Cersei Lannister.Vinteren er kommet er skrevet i et underholdende og let tilgængeligt sprog og er et must for enhver, som ønsker at være væbnet til tænderne med viden og overblik, når den afsluttende sæson 8 toner frem på skærmen og kampen om, hvem der skal sidde på Jerntronen bliver afgjort.

Hvorfor bliver vi tiltrukket og fascineret af uhyggelige hændelser i fiktiv form? Hvad er det, der gør, at vi ligefrem nyder at læse en roman eller se en film om en patologisk voldsforbryder, som vi under ingen omstændigheder ville have lyst til at møde i virkeligheden? Hvordan går det til, at personer, der ellers virker sunde og fornuftige, nyder det kolde gys, når vampyren blotter tænderne, og når psykopaten hæver øksen eller retter geværet mod et uskyldigt offers hoved? Og er offeret nu også altid helt uskyldigt?I bogen ”I lyst og død” dykker Rikke Schubart ned i gysets anatomi og gyserens historie. Bogen udkom første gang i 1993.Rikke Schubart (f. 1966) er lektor ved Institut for Design, Medier og Uddannelsesvidenskaber på RUC og har udgivet en lang række artikler og bøger om film, køn, kultur og medier.

Jørgen Leth er en institution i det danske filmmiljø og har bl.a. været en stor inspiration for Lars von Trier. Han har skabt en række stilskabende spille- og dokumentarfilm, f.eks. Det perfekte menneske (1967) Det gode og det onde (1975) Notater om kærligheden (1989)og de klassiske dokumentarfilm om cykling Stjernerne og vandbærerne, (1972) En forårsdag i Helvede (1974),om ballet At danse Bournonville Peter Martins - en balletdanserom fodbold Michael Laudrup - en fodboldspiller (1993)og om digtere Dansk litteratur (1989) Søren Ulrik Thomsen (1999)Sit egentlige internationale gennembrud fik han med De fem benspænd (2003), hvor Lars von Trier lod ham genindspille Det perfekte menneske fem gange.I tilfældets gaver samler han sine centrale tekster om at lave film: hans ideer om spilleregler, klipning, musik, det dumme kamera, det antropologiske blik og hans kontrakt med tilfældet.Bogen består af poetiktekster, tekster om og til udvalgte film og ikke mindst ideer til nye og urealiserede film.

Dansk dokumentarflms enfant terrible er han blevet kaldt, dokumentarflmskaberen Theodor Christensen, som var en af de væsentligste drivkræfter bag oprettelsen af Den Danske Filmskole i 1966. Theodor Christensen ville være fyldt 100 år den 6. april 2014, hvis ikke hans liv var endt alt for tidligt i 1967. Hans betydning for dansk flm, og ikke kun for dokumentarflm-genren, er ikke til at komme udenom. En grundig personlig biografi byggende på et kæmpe hidtil stort set ukendt materiale, også mange private fotos.

Den danske dokumentarfilm er en af dansk films største og mest vedvarende successer. Internationalt har den historisk haft stor bevågenhed og er gennem de seneste år blevet genstand for stadig større opmærksomhed hos det brede publikum. Og som Ib Bondebjerg viser i sin seneste bog, har den ikke mindst en solid historisk tradition som et eksperimentarium for det danske filmsprog. Virkelighedsbilleder er den første samlede fremstilling af den danske dokumentarfilms historie. Bogen har de filmiske genrer, instruktører og institutioner i centrum, men i Ib Bondebjerg fortæller også kultur- og socialhistorie.Ib Bondebjerg analyserer således dokumentarfilmens vilkår og udvikling i lyset af samfundsudviklingen, filmpolitiken og filmkulturen generelt – fra traditionsrige nationale institutioner som Statens Film Central fra 30’erne til den moderne, digitale og globaliserede filmkultur. I bogen analyserer Ib Bondebjerg desuden en lang række væsentlige dokumentarfilm med vægt på stil og genre og på filmens fortolkning af udviklingen i danskernes og det danske samfunds historie. Gennem analysen af dokumentarfilmene skildrer Bondebjerg udviklingen i periodens hverdagsliv, politik, kultur og historie, og han tegner et billede af et samfund, hvor udviklingen går fra mere traditionelle nationale billeder til globale billeder.

Filmstil påvirker på afgørende vis menneskers filmoplevelse. Alligevel er det ofte filmens handling, der tales om, når helten har fået heltinden. Ikke måden de levende billeder organiserer fortællingen på. Bogen er en rigt eksemplificeret præsentation, kritik og videreudvikling af filmforskningens teorier og begreber om, hvordan man forstår og analyserer dét, der altid mærkes, men ofte ikke ses – filmstil. Samlet præsenterer bogen en ny stilteori, der til en vis grad baserer sig på Bordwells stilbegreb. Det er en stilteori- og analyse, der har til hensigt at udfylde de beskrevne mangler, der har præget Bordwells stilteori - uden at kassere de brugbare og værdifulde begreber, der har bevist deres værdi.
