The first amateur motion picture camera was massively produced in 1923, shortly after the introduction of 9,5 mm film by the Pathé Frères in France 101 years ago, in December 1922, and of 16 mm film by the Eastman Kodak Company in America a month later. The present collection depicts 101 movie cameras manufactured between the 1920s and the 1980s, most using 8 mm perforated celluloid film. A full-page 'portrait' of each model is accompanied by an exposé of its main technical specifications on the facing page. The guided tour leafs through a range of makes and companies from an era when novelty, aesthetics, industrial design, and competition for the commercial home market propelled the creation of sculptures out of metal and glass for the wide use by individuals and families who aspired to preserve their visual impressions in motion. The book is a useful source for hobbyists and collectors.

Este ensayo trata de profundizar en la presencia de la mujer en diferentes manifestaciones artísticas (literatura y cine, fundamentalmente) durante los siglos XX y XXI desde una perspectiva transatlántica, para valorar en qué medida la evolución sobre los roles de género transmitidos por la literatura y el cine dan cuenta de los procesos de cambio social respecto a la mujer contemporánea. El proyecto ha contribuido así a empezar a elaborar una cartografía de la imagen de la mujer de los siglos XX y XXI en la literatura y el cine del ámbito hispánico y avanzar, por tanto, en la recuperación de las voces artísticas de mujeres contemporáneas. Después de seleccionar un corpus de cincuenta obras literarias escritas en los siglos XX y XXI que tienen como protagonista a un personaje femenino o consideran a la mujer como eje temático principal, se han estudiado los diferentes modelos femeninos presentes en diez obras literarias y sus adaptaciones audiovisuales, junto con los criterios que determinan la presencia de dichos modelos.

Die Standard-Bildfrequenz für Kinofilme liegt bei 24 Bildern in der Sekunde. Diese technologisch manifestierte Aneinanderreihung von Bildern im Gegensatz zum Einzelbild prägt das Werk von David Krippendorff (geb. 1967 in Berlin, lebt und arbeitet ebenda), das sich zwischen Malerei, Zeichnung, Video und Film bewegt. Krippendorff entwickelt Arbeiten, die von seiner Herkunft gekennzeichnet sind - als Deutsch-Amerikaner wuchs er in Rom auf - und sich mit Themen wie Zugehörigkeit, kultureller Assimilation und Zuständen des Dazwischen- und Andersseins auseinandersetzen. Die Publikation Interpretations konzentriert sich auf Krippendorffs letzte fünf Filme und die in diesem Zusammenhang entstandenen verwandten Arbeiten. Im Mittelpunkt der Monografie steht die von Musik inspirierte Trilogie Lament, die in enger Zusammenarbeit mit der palästinensischen Schauspielerin Hiam Abbass entstand. Neben einem umfangreichen Bildteil enthält das Buch ein Interview mit Krippendorff von Kathrin Becker sowie Essays zu seinem Werk von David Elliott, Mark Gisbourne, Matthias Reichelt, Andrea Scrima und Chiara Valci Mazzara.   Between Pop Culture, Performance, and Cinema The standard frame rate for theatrical motion pictures is 24 images per second. This technologically manifest concatenation of pictures and its contrast with the individual image informs the oeuvre of David Krippendorff (b. Berlin, 1967; lives and works in Berlin), which spans painting, drawing, video, and film. Krippendorff develops works that are shaped by his background-a dual German-American citizen, who grew up in Rome-and wrestle with subjects such as belonging, cultural assimilation, and states of being in-between and different. The publication Interpretations focuses on Krippendorff's five most recent films and works he produced in connection with them. At the center of the monograph stands the trilogy Lament, which was inspired by music and created in close collaboration with the Palestinian actor Hiam Abbass. In addition to illustrations related to the works, the book contains an interview with Krippendorff by Kathrin Becker and essays on his art by David Elliott, Mark Gisbourne, Matthias Reichelt, Andrea Scrima, and Chiara Valci Mazzara.

There are farewells to icons like James Caan and Ray Liotta, X-ray examinations of the inner changes in a business that almost overnight has become dominated by streaming, and retrospective looks at the movies well-remembered (Planet of the Apes, Titanic) as well as those overlooked and unjustly forgotten like those in 1973, a year overstuffed with classics like American Graffiti art house gems like Badlands.

Lon Davis was one lucky young film buff. Growing up in Southern California in the 1970s, he was able to spend quality time with some of the celebrated residents of the Motion Picture Country Home in Los Angeles. His great-uncle, a screenwriter and bit player since the movies' earliest days, looked forward to Lon's visits; so did silent film comedienne Babe London and original Stooge Larry Fine. Blessed with exceptional recall and the ability to bring those memories vividly to life, Lon shares anecdotes that are, by turns, comical, touching, and tragic. They are also true, right down to the smallest detail. As he matured, Lon became acquainted with other members of the silent film community (including the Oscar-winning historian Kevin Brownlow) and chronicles their stories as well. And finally, Lon reveals an intensely personal account of falling in love with his best friend while searching for the elusive grave of the legendary W.C. Fields. As movie producer Pancho Kohner writes in the foreword: "Stumbling into Film History is more than a book; it's an unforgettable adventure through the golden age of cinema, with the best guide you could ask for." Lon Davis is an author, editor, documentarian, and lecturer on film history. His first published book was Silent Lives:100 Biographies of the Silent Film Era (2008). He and his wife, Debra Davis (née LaCoe), co-authored King of the Movies: Francis X. Bushman (2009), and Ma and Pa Kettle on Film (2021). In addition to editing two hundred academic books on the performing arts, Lon and Debra released two volumes of essays: Stooges Among Us (2008) and CHASE! A Tribute to the Keystone Cops (2020). Debra also published a roman à clef entitled Flirtation Act: The Story of a Boy, a Girl, and Vaudeville (2016). Lon and Debra's documentary film This is Francis X. Bushman (2021) is available on Blu-ray from Flicker Alley. Lon's latest book, Stumbling Into Film History, is comprised of newly written and revised essays detailing his experiences with various denizens of early Hollywood.

¿Das menschliche Gesicht gilt einerseits als subtiler, ¿schwacher Code¿, das sich im Alltag den Deutungen der menschlichen Wahrnehmung immer wieder zu entziehen scheint. Andererseits wird gerade in Medien wie dem Film das Gesicht strategische eingesetzt, um unterschwellig Botschaften zu vermitteln. Die Bild-Werdung des Menschen hat, wie diese Arbeit zeigt, nicht erst mit dem Aufkommen von Diktaturen seine ¿Unschuld¿ verloren. Aber erst im Modus seiner Lesbarmachung, als still gestelltes Bild wie es in Form der Großaufnahme im Film zur Geltung kommt, kann es als scheinbare Evidenz seine manipulierende Funktion einnehmen.Ob in Deutschland, Italien oder Russland ¿ alle diese Diktaturen wollen sich zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts der Arbeiterschaft versichern, um ihre ideologischen Ziele zu verwirklichen. Das kulturell und symbolisch vorgeprägte Gesicht, muss daher für die Propaganda umcodiert werden. Dem immer noch weit verbreiteten Verdikt der ¿Gleichschaltung¿ wird jedoch in diesem Buch differenziert gegenübergetreten: Die Möglichkeiten des Gesichts, es für unterschiedlichen historischen Konstellationen und Herausforderungen anzupassen und zu instrumentalisieren, machen es zu einem facettenreichen Medium für rhetorische Strategien.
