Filmproduktion: teknik og tekniske discipliner

Fragilität als mehrdeutige und ambivalente Konstitution kennzeichnet Figuren, Motive und Schreibweisen in Literatur und Film. Der Fokus auf fragile Phänomene lenkt den Blick auf das Gefährdete, verlangt Aufmerksamkeit für das Schützenswerte sowie das Aushalten von Brüchigkeit. Fragile Zustände können sowohl Unsicherheit hervorrufen als auch produktive Energie freisetzen. Die verbreitete Wahrnehmung unserer Gegenwart als instabil unterstreicht die Aktualität des Begriffs, der bisher in der geisteswissenschaftlichen Forschung keine etablierte Kategorie darstellt.Der Sammelband nähert sich deshalb dem Begriff an, indem in verschiedenen literatur- und filmwissenschaftlichen Fallstudien facettenreiche Perspektiven auf Fragilität entwickelt und in ihrem jeweiligen Kontext diskutiert werden.

This thesis studies the urban history of Mumbai from the perspective of popular Hindi films. The change of the name from Bombay to Mumbai in 1995 is symbolic of the transition of the colonial city from a centre of industrial capitalism to a neoliberal city, characterised by finance capital. It also signals the massive changes in the social and the political spheres of the city. Thomas Blom Hansen's Violence in Urban India starts its narrative of the city with a conversation that the author had on a suburban train, few weeks before the official rechristening. He asked an elderly gentleman about his reaction to the proposed change of the city's name from Bombay to Mumbai. While poring over an article in the English daily, Times of India, regarding the change of name of the city, the gentleman promptly answered: "its proper name is Bombay."

In Hammer Goes to Hell, Foster utilises never seen before materials held in the Hammer Script Archive to present a new perspective on one of Britain's most famous production studios. While Hammer Films has been extensively researched, the significant amount of creative and economic labour that went into over 100 unmade projects at the company have yet to be recognised accordingly. Using primary materials such as screenplays and correspondence, Hammer Goes to Hell examines the production contexts of an eclectic range of Hammer's unmade films, ranging from Nessie to Kali Devil Bride of Dracula. Using Hammer as a case study, this book represents a significant academic intervention by being the first sustained industry study to primarily use unmade projects. Offering a fresh perspective on this legendary film studio, Foster argues for the importance and sustained study of unmade films. Kieran Foster is a Teaching Associate in Film and Media Studies at the University of Nottingham.

Klein‿s madcap romp of a photo-novel brilliantly translates his cult ‿60s film into book formBased on the original images and dialogue of William Klein‿s 1966 film Who Are You, Polly Maggoo?, this fantastic photo-novel tells the adventures of Polly Maggoo, a star model played by Dorothy McGowan (model for Vogue in the 1960s). The plot unfolds across the fashion world of Polly Maggoo; the world of television (based around the character of director Jean Rochefort); and a magical kingdom of operetta whose crown prince (played by Sami Frey) is in love with the young model. Also featuring in this star-studded cast are Alice Sapritch, Delphine Seyrig, Philippe Noiret, Roland Topor and Jacques Seiler. The publication ingeniously translates into book form the zany universe of the film. Klein‿s masterful framing gives exquisite rhythm to its page composition and flow as we follow the crazy adventures of the extraordinary heroine in a madcap race through the streets and rooftops of Paris, all the way up to a distant palace lost in the snow. Born in New York, William Klein (1926‿2022) was a multidisciplinary artist whose practice revolutionized photography, particularly fashion and street photography. His fashion work was the subject of several iconic photobooks, including Life Is Good and Good for You in New York (1957) and Tokyo (1964). In the 1980s, he turned to film projects. His works are held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, and the Art Institute of Chicago, among others.

Despite its unabated popularity with audiences, slapstick has received rather little scholarly attention, mostly by scholars concentrating on the US theater and cinema traditions. Nonetheless, as a form of physical humor slapstick has a long history across various areas of cultural production. This volume approaches slapstick both as a genre of situational physical comedy and as a mode of communicating an affective situation captured in various cultural products. Contributors to the volume examine cinematic, literary, dramatic, musical, and photographic texts and performances. From medieval chivalric romance and nineteenth-century theater to contemporary photography, the contributors study treatments of slapstick across media, periods and geographic locations. The aim of a study of such wide scope is to demonstrate how slapstick emerged from a variety of complex interactions among different traditions and by extension, to illustrate that slapstick can be highly productive for interdisciplinary research.

L¿obiettivo di quest¿opera è quello di analizzare il ruolo della donna all¿interno degli studi di produzione nel panorama italiano, approfondendo i motivi per i quali la condizione femminile all¿interno dell¿industria cinematografica non sia mai stata del tutto valorizzata, partendo dal periodo del secondo dopoguerra fino al contesto contemporaneo. Si sottolineerà come la presenza femminile in tale contesto risulti, ancora oggi, più rilevante in certi settori piuttosto che in altri, e in particolare come in quello della produzione si riscontri ancora un basso indice di femminilizzazione. L¿attenzione del contenuto è posta sui Production Studies, analizzando gli scritti fondamentali di Miranda Banks, per cercare di dare una definizione più esaustiva di questo indirizzo di studi, che stenta ancora a trovare una collocazione nel complesso italiano degli studi sul cinema. Inoltre, è stato preso in analisi il lavoro di alcune produttrici cinematografiche, che contribuirà ad individuare le variazioni avvenute nei modelli produttivi italiani nel corso dei decenni considerati, cercando di far luce su questa complessa realtà dell¿industria italiana dell¿audiovisivo.

Neben der Vielfalt und dem sich wandelnden Bild der Weiblichkeit wird auch auf den historischen Kontext eingegangen. Anschließend folgt die Definition der Fotografie, die historischen Hintergründe sowie die Unterschiede zwischen analoger und digitaler Fotografie. Zudem soll auf die Weiblichkeit in der Fotografie eingegangen werden, die hier in einer Fotoreihe visualisiert wurde.

Any list of Japan’s greatest screenplay writers would feature Shinobu Hashimoto near or at the top. This memoir, focusing on his collaborations with Akira Kurosawa, a gifted scenarist in his own right, offers an indispensable insider account and invaluable insights into the unique process that is writing for the screen. Now in paperback, Compound Cinematics also stands as a moving reckoning of sorts.The vast majority of Kurosawa’s oeuvre was filmed from screenplays that the director co-wrote with a stable of stellar scenarists. Among these was the author, who caught the filmmaker’s attention with a script that eventually turned into Rashomon, and who went on to play an integral part in developing and writing two of the grandmaster’s crowning jewels—Ikiru and Seven Samurai—and other cineaste favorites.The late Shinobu Hashimoto (1918-2018) penned numerous films of note for other directors as well, including Harakiri for Masaki Kobayashi, Mount Hakkoda for Shiro Moritani, and Village of the Eight Tombs for Yoshitaro Nomura.

An intimate, clever, and ultimately gut-wrenching graphic memoir about the daily decision women must make between being sexualized or being invisible-now in paperback

"For decades, James Bawden and Ron Miller have established themselves as maestros of provocative interviews, giving fans unmatched insights into the lives of Hollywood A-listers. In their fourth collection, the authors pay tribute to film pioneers who lit up Tinseltown from the 1930s through the 1960s. They Made the Movies features conversations with legendary directors who created many of film's all-time classics, including Frank Capra (It's A Wonderful Life, 1946), Richard Fleischer (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, 1954), Alfred Hitchcock (Psycho, 1960), Ralph Nelson (Lilies of the Field, 1963), Robert Wise (The Sound of Music, 1965), and Chuck Jones (How the Grinch Stole Christmas! 1966). Tantalizing firsthand details about many acclaimed films are revealed, such as the revelation of Mervyn LeRoy's first-choice of lead actress for The Wizard of Oz ("Shirley Temple . . . but Shirley couldn't sing like Judy [Garland]"), Billy Wilder's insights on directing ("You have to be a sycophant, a sadist, a nurse, a philosopher"), and how megaproducer Hal B. Wallis purchased an unproduced play titled Everyone Comes to Rick's and transformed it into Casablanca ("The part [of Sam] almost went to Lena Horne, but I thought she was too beautiful"). The authors also celebrate the contributions of marginalized filmmakers such as Ida Lupino, James Wong Howe, Oscar Micheaux, and Luis Valdez, who prevailed in Hollywood despite the discrimination they faced throughout their careers. They Made the Movies appeals to film and television enthusiasts of all ages"--

Named to Kirkus Review's List of "Best Indie Books of 2023""A documentarian revisits the funkiest musical byways in this scintillating memoir...A vibrant, entertaining panorama of music-making and the picaresque struggle to capture it on film." -Kirkus* Starred ReviewIn Notes from the Road: A Filmmaker's Journey through American Music, Mugge describes the genesis of his twenty-five key music films, the methods employed in making them, and the experiences shared by him, his crews, and his subjects. This retrospection is organized not so much chronologically as thematically, in order to reveal connective tissue among efforts made over multiple decades.As William Reynolds Ferris writes in the foreword to the book, "Mugge both thrills and exhausts us as he describes the process of making his films. He shifts his camera lens deftly from classical music to bluegrass to jazz to Tex-Mex to gospel to reggae to Hawaiian slack-key guitar. A gifted filmmaker and a fine writer, Mugge introduces us to musicians, record producers, and his trusted film crew, which at times includes his wife, Diana. This book offers an intimate view of his struggles as a filmmaker and his determination to capture our nation's music on film."Notes from the Road is a fascinating exploration of the visual documentation of musical creation-a separate and distinct form of documentary filmmaking, as practiced by one of its chief proponents. The resulting "notes from the road" provide a lyrical introduction to his personal musical odyssey.
