This book examines the work and art of Bill Douglas, thirty years after his death.Douglas made only a small body of work during his lifetime: The Bill Douglas Trilogy, based on his deprived childhood in Scotland; and Comrades, his epic on the Tolpuddle Martyrs; but he is acknowledged by many as one of Britain's greatest filmmakers. His films inspire a depth of passion in those that have seen them, and interest in his work has intensified over the years, both within the UK and overseas.This is the first work to examine Douglas's life and career through archive material recently made available to researchers. Editors Amelia Watts and Phil Wickham have carefully selected a range of voices-both scholars and practitioners-to reappraise Douglas's career from a variety of angles. The book raises important questions about Douglas's status as an artist, and reflects on his struggles within the film industry of the 1970s and 1980s in order to consider the attendant difficulties of working within a collaborative and commercial medium such as cinema. The volume also explores the wider legacy of this film artist, through the collection on moving image history he assembled with Peter Jewell, which became the foundation of the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum. It will appeal to film students and scholars, and the small but committed group of general readers who are interested in Douglas's work.The book has a foreword by the renowned filmmaker Mark Cousins, who, like many other contemporary directors, is a great enthusiast for Douglas's work.

Visit the realms of The Twilight Zone, journey to The Outer Limits and boldly go on a Star Trek! Read how motion picture and TV special effects were created before computers! From Lon Chaney to Ray Harryhausen, from Georges Melies to George Lucas, meet the multi-talented magicians-many of whom never received screen recognition-who invented ways to conjure up ferocious dinosaurs battling a giant ape in King Kong or the catastrophic natural disasters in Earthquake. They brought people uncomfortably close to Boris Karloff's Frankenstein and the fanciful, beloved Wizard of Oz. During WWII they gave home audiences a taste of distant warfare without risking any actors and in the 1950s they introduced us to destructive invaders from other worlds - without a real national landmark being destroyed. Dozens of rare, unpublished behind-the-scenes photos from classic films and obscure productions reveal the best kept secret tricks of the trade: miniatures, matte paintings, makeup effects, special props, mechanicals, animatronics, stop-motion and more.

Examines the films of Shirley Clarke using theory from creative practice and distributed cognition.

Le cinéma est devenu une passion après un grand enthousiasme qui m'a poussé à me pousser vers l'industrie du cinéma (l'industrie cinématographique indienne, en particulier la langue tamoule, mon cinéma d'État local) dès mon âge étudiant. J'ai grandi dans mon enfance et mon enfance en m'interrogeant sur les grandes stars et les succès à succès qui se déroulaient autour de moi. Les superstars indiennes de mon enfance sont Rajini, Kamal, Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, Chiranjeevi, etc. en Inde, et Jackie Chan et Jet Lee aux niveaux asiatiques, et Arnold Schwarzenegger, Silvester Stallone au niveau hollywoodien. À un moment donné, je me suis trouvé apte au cinéma après mon échec à obtenir de bonnes notes pour obtenir un diplôme d'ingénieur ou de médecin dans le cadre de mes études secondaires.J'ai assisté à une interview donnée par un institut du film du gouvernement pour suivre un cours d'interprétation à Chennai et jeté au sol deux pages de dialogues de l'ancien dialogue du film classique Parasakthi de l'acteur tamoul Sivaji Ganesan, mais je n'ai pas été choisi pour cela. Ensuite, j'ai rencontré un grand réalisateur de l'époque et qui est mon parent éloigné. Il m'a motivé à écrire des scénarios et à réaliser des films, mais je ne l'ai pas rejoint en tant qu'assistant-réalisateur, car il quittait progressivement le cinéma à cette époque en raison de son grand âge.Jusqu'aujourd'hui, j'essaie le cinéma et j'ai appris quelques compétences essentielles pour un acteur telles que la danse, le karaté, la natation, le combat au bâton, etc., et un beau jour a décidé de devenir un réalisateur au lieu d'un acteur. Mon objectif d'apprentissage a changé d'orientation pour en savoir plus sur les histoires et sur la conversion d'une histoire en scripts de film reliés pour la préparation du tournage.Au bout de quelques années, je me suis marié et j'ai rejoint une société de services informatiques et essayé le cinéma jusqu'à aujourd'hui. J'espère toujours pouvoir gagner si j'entre dans le cinéma, mais en raison des hauts et des bas de ma famille, je ne suis pas en mesure de passer au cinéma immédiatement et d'attendre mon entrée dans le secteur du divertissement avec une préparation adéquate dans le niveau créatif en tant que scénariste et réalisateur. J'espère que je vais gagner bientôt.L'écriture de ce livre n'a pour but que d'enseigner ce qu'il faut faire et ce qu'on ne doit pas faire avant d'entrer au cinéma, en particulier pour ceux qui souhaitent devenir réalisateurs dans le monde du cinéma. Ce livre sera sûrement un phare pour les personnes qui naviguent dans l'obscurité. Lisez-le et profitez-en.

In this riveting popular history, the creator of You Must Remember This probes the inner workings of Hollywood's glamorous golden age through the stories of some of the dozens of actresses pursued by Howard Hughes, to reveal how the millionaire mogul's obsessions with sex, power and publicity trapped, abused, or benefitted women who dreamt of screen stardom.In recent months, the media has reported on scores of entertainment figures who used their power and money in Hollywood to sexually harass and coerce some of the most talented women in cinema and television. But as Karina Longworth reminds us, long before the Harvey Weinsteins there was Howard Hughes--the Texas millionaire, pilot, and filmmaker whose reputation as a cinematic provocateur was matched only by that as a prolific womanizer.His supposed conquests between his first divorce in the late 1920s and his marriage to actress Jean Peters in 1957 included many of Hollywood's most famous actresses, among them Billie Dove, Katharine Hepburn, Ava Gardner, and Lana Turner. From promoting bombshells like Jean Harlow and Jane Russell to his contentious battles with the censors, Hughes--perhaps more than any other filmmaker of his era--commoditized male desire as he objectified and sexualized women. Yet there were also numerous women pulled into Hughes's grasp who never made it to the screen, sometimes virtually imprisoned by an increasingly paranoid and disturbed Hughes, who retained multitudes of private investigators, security personnel, and informers to make certain these actresses would not escape his clutches.Vivid, perceptive, timely, and ridiculously entertaining, The Seducer is a landmark work that examines women, sex, and male power in Hollywood during its golden age--a legacy that endures nearly a century later.

Lion of Hollywood is the definitive biography of Louis B. Mayer, the chief of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer—MGM—the biggest and most successful film studio of Hollywood’s Golden Age.An immigrant from tsarist Russia, Mayer began in the film business as an exhibitor but soon migrated to where the action and the power were—Hollywood. Through sheer force of energy and foresight, he turned his own modest studio into MGM, where he became the most powerful man in Hollywood, bending the film business to his will. He made great films, including the fabulous MGM musicals, and he made great stars: Garbo, Gable, Garland, and dozens of others. Through the enormously successful Andy Hardy series, Mayer purveyed family values to America. At the same time, he used his influence to place a federal judge on the bench, pay off local officials, cover up his stars’ indiscretions and, on occasion, arrange marriages for gay stars. Mayer rose from his impoverished childhood to become at one time the highest-paid executive in America. Despite his power and money, Mayer suffered some significant losses. He had two daughters: Irene, who married David O. Selznick, and Edie, who married producer William Goetz. He would eventually fall out with Edie and divorce his wife, Margaret, ending his life alienated from most of his family. His chief assistant, Irving Thalberg, was his closest business partner, but they quarreled frequently, and Thalberg’s early death left Mayer without his most trusted associate. As Mayer grew older, his politics became increasingly reactionary, and he found himself politically isolated within Hollywood’s small conservative community. Lion of Hollywood is a three-dimensional biography of a figure often caricatured and vilified as the paragon of the studio system. Mayer could be arrogant and tyrannical, but under his leadership MGM made such unforgettable films as The Big Parade, Ninotchka, The Wizard of Oz, Meet Me in St. Louis, and An American in Paris. Film historian Scott Eyman interviewed more than 150 people and researched some previously unavailable archives to write this major new biography of a man who defined an industry and an era.
