Erik Ballings værk tæller 39 film, fra Adam og Eva i 1952 over Olsen-banden-filmene i 1970’erne til Midt om natten i 1984, foruden tv-serier som Matador og Huset på Christianshavn. Til sammen udgør de en krønike over det 20. århundredes Danmark: Kærlig og humoristisk, med blik for selvtilstrækkelighed, storhedsvanvid og jantelov; for klassekamp, kønskamp og generationskløfter – hele den danske folkesjæl. BALLING fortæller historien om instruktørens film, om Nordisk Film, som han arbejdede for i næsten 40 år, og om den danske filmverden i samme periode. Men først og fremmest fortæller bogen historien om en dybt professionel og meget privat mand, der med sit humanistiske menneskesyn har sat et varigt aftryk på dansk kultur.

De fleste kender til Amerikas "Vilde Vesten" gennem det sidste århundredes filmiske genfortællinger om livet blandt cowboys og indianere (på godt og ondt). Gennem tiden er der selvfølgelig også lavet videnskabelig analyser om både historiske og filmhistoriske aspekter af "Det Vilde Vesten". De fleste bøger, dokumentarfilm, blogs og internet-sider er dog for det meste på engelsk og sammenfatter ofte ikke det underholdende med de filmhistoriske og historiske aspekter. Som western-entusiast og historie-interesseret er denne bog et personligt bud på sammenhængen mellem underholdning, fiktion og fakta - på dansk.Som underholdning blev westerns en succes lige fra starten af filmens historie. For film, som for alle andre kunstarter gælder dog, at historierne er subjektive og ofte manipulerende i deres udtryk og fortælling.Vi har alle en opfattelse af hvad vi forstår ved "Det Vilde Vesten". Fortællingerne, som vi kender dem gennem litteratur og film, er i høj grad baseret på en blanding af myter og legender, krydret med historiske personer og hændelser. Med dette i baghovedet er det vigtigt at forstå at fortællingen og "Det vilde Vesten" er en grundlæggende del af amerikanernes selvforståelse og ikke mindst deres selviscenesættelse.

The definitive book on the TV show Ted Lasso, written by New York Times journalist and editor Jeremy Egner, celebrating the show’s improbable rise and cultural impact while never losing sight of the heart, friendship, and passion that have made it an enduring favorite for the ages When Ted Lasso first aired in 2020, nobody—including those who had worked on it—knew how a show inspired by an ad, centered around soccer, filled mostly with unknown actors, and led by a wondrously mustached “nice guy” would be received. Now, eleven Emmys and one Peabody Award later, it’s safe to say that the show’s status as a pop culture phenomenon is secure. And, for the first time, New York Times television editor Jeremy Egner explores the creation, production, and potent legacy of Ted Lasso. Drawing on dozens of interviews from key cast, creators, and more, Believe takes readers from the very first, silly NBC Premier League commercial to the pitch to Apple executives, then into the show’s writer’s room, through the brilliant international casting, and on to the unforgettable set and locations of the show itself.   Egner approaches his reporting as a journalist and as a cultural critic, but also with an affection and admiration fans will appreciate, carefully and humorously telling Ted Lasso’s story of teamwork, of hidden talent, of a group of friends looking around at the world’s increasingly nasty discourse and deciding that maybe simple decency still had the power to bring us together—a story about what happens when you dare to believe.

Despite Soho's rich cultural history, there remains an absence of work on the depiction of the popular neighbourhood in film. Soho on Screen provides one of the first studies of Soho within postwar British cinema. Drawing upon historical, cultural and urban studies of the area, this book explores twelve films and theatrically released documentaries from a filmography of over one hundred Soho set productions. While predominantly focusing on low-budget, exploitation films which are exemplars of British and international filmmaking, Young also offers new readings of star and director biographies, from Laurence Harvey to Emeric Pressburger, and in so doing enlivens discussion on filmmaking in a time and place of intense social transformation, technological innovation and growing permissiveness.

Stanley Kubrick was arguably one of the most influential American directors of the post-World War II era, and his Central European Jewish heritage, though often overlooked, greatly influenced his oeuvre. Kubrick's Mitteleuropa explores this influence in ways that range from his work with Hungarian and Polish composers Bela Bartok, György Ligeti, and Krzysztof Penderecki to the visual inspiration of artists such as Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt, and other central European Modernists. Beyond exploring the Mitteleuropa sensibility in Kubrick's films, the contributions in this volume also provide important commentary on the reception of his films in countries across Eastern Europe.

Call Me Lola is a moving photo essay by the acclaimed Israeli-American lens-based artist and documentarian Loli Kantor. For over twenty years, she combed through the family archives of her Polish-born father, a doctor and political activist. At the center of her work is her mother, Lola, who died in childbirth: a woman who manifests herself principally through images and stories rather than direct memories. The family documents and photographs that retrace the artist's personal history are shown alongside new camera-based works, resulting in a deeply subjective reflection on the most significant upheavals of the twentieth century: war and displacement, love and loss, trauma and grief. LOLI KANTOR (*1952) is an Israeli-American photographer whose work centers on personal and cultural memory. She lives and works in Fort Worth, Texas.

Seit im Jahr 1977 zum ersten Mal der magische Einleitungssatz " Es war einmal vor langer Zeit in einer weit, weit entfernten Galaxie ..." über die Kinoleinwand flimmerte, sind Generationen von Film- und Scifi-Fans L uke Skywalker, Han Solo, Prinzessin Leia, R2-D2 und C-3PO und natürlich dem beliebtesten Schurken und schlimmsten Vater des Universums, Darth Vader , auf ihren abenteuerlichen Reisen durch die endlosen Weiten des Alls gefolgt, haben - je nach der individuellen sittlich-moralischen Grunddisposition - aufseiten der Rebellen oder der Sturmtruppen gekämpft, den Millenium Falken geschrottet, mit Meister Yoda die Syntax verunstaltet und das Lichtschwert tanzen lassen. Mit seiner Sternensaga hat Georg Lucas eine Welt von mythischer Strahlkraft und das Filmfranchise der Kinogeschichte schlechthin erschaffen. Dass er sich bei der Konzeption von Star Wars durch das Buch "Der Heros in tausend Gestalten" des von ihm verehrten amerikanischen Literaturwissenschaftlers und Mythenforschers Joseph Campbell (1904-1987) und der darin beschriebenen archetypischen Grundstruktur der Heldenreise leiten ließ, ist mittlerweile feuilletonistisches Allgemeingut. Dass diese Rezeptur, angereichert mit Westernmotiven, Slapstickelementen, Popcorndialogen und etwas fernöstlicher Spiritualität und in Szene gesetzt mit einem bis dahin unbekannten Aufwand an Tricktechnik und Spezialeffekten , tatsächlich funktionierte und er ein Epos von bleibender Faszination erfunden hatte, kam selbst für Lucas damals überraschend. Dieser Band, entstanden in enger Kooperation mit George Lucas und Lucasfilm , deckt die Entstehungsgeschichte der Originaltrilogie ab - Krieg der Sterne (= Episode IV: A New Hope ), Das Imperium schlägt zurück (= Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back ) und Die Rückkehr der Jedi-Ritter (= Episode VI: Return of the Jedi ). Er enthält ein Exklusivinterview mit Lucas und ist vollgepackt mit selten gezeigten Dokumenten , mit Drehbuchseiten, Produktionsunterlagen, Konzeptentwürfen, Storyboards und natürlich einer Fülle an Fotos aus den Filmen und von den Dreharbeiten . Möge die Macht mit euch sein!

"From the ruthlessness of Darth Vader's campaigns to the horrors of the Tarkin Initiative, this book offers fresh new insights into the dark entity at the core of Star Wars."--Provided by publisher.

Newly repackaged as a Penguin paperback, Conquest of the Useless, the legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog's diary of the making of Fitzcarraldo, one of his most revered and classic filmsIn 1982, the visionary directory Werner Herzog released Fitzcarraldo, a lavish film about a would-be rubber baron who pulls a 320-ton steamship over a mountain. It was hailed instantly by critics around the globe as a masterpiece and won Herzog the 1982 Outstanding Director Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, affirming Herzog’s reputation as one of the most revered and enigmatic filmmakers of his time.Conquest of the Useless is the diary Herzog kept during the making of Fitzcarraldo, compiled from June 1979 to November 1981. Emerging as if out of an Amazonian fever dream during filming, Herzog’s writings are an extraordinary documentary unto themselves. Strange and otherworldly events are recounted by the filmmaker. The crew's camp in the heart of the jungle is attacked and burned to the ground; the production of the film clashes with a border war; and, of course, Herzog unravels the impossible logistics of moving a 320-ton steamship over a hill without the use of special effects.In his preface, Herzog warns that the diary entries collected in Conquest of the Useless do not represent “reports on the actual filming” but rather “inner landscapes, born of the delirium of the jungle.” Thus begins an extraordinary glimpse into the mind of a genius during the making of one of his greatest achievements.

O Bedlam!, taking us deep inside the most furious British writer since the Boer War.> This is the story of the story of that quest.
