100
European Horror Films - Edited
by Steven Jay Schneider
|
 From
blood-sucking schoolgirls to flesh-eating zombies, from
psychopathic killers to beasts from hell, 100 European Horror
Films provides a lively and illuminating guide to a hundred
key films from the 1920s to the present. Films covered in
the book include early classics such as The Cabinet of Dr
Caligari, Nosferatu and Vampyr, 1970s horror favourites
such as Suspiria, Daughters of Darkness and The Tenant,
and notable recent releases such as The Devil's Backbone
and High Tension. |
The
Unsilvered Screen Surrealism on Film
Edited by Graeme Harper and Rob Stone |
 Luis
Bunuel once recalled that 'the real purpose of surrealism
was not to create a new literary, artistic, or even philosophical
movement, but to explode the social order, to transform
life itself.' This new book sees critics from the US, UK,
Australia, Canada and Japan offer fresh and often provocative
views of canonical surrealist works from Bunuel, Svankmajer
and David Lynch, alongside lively analysis of surprisingly
surrealist aspects of contemporary cinema. |
Directors
in British and Irish Cinema A Reference Companion
Edited by Robert Murphy |
 This
unique volume presents a comprehensive reference guide to
directors who have worked in the British and Irish film
industries between 1895 and 2006. Each of its 1028 entries
on individual directors gives a resume of their career,
evaluates their achievements and provides a guide to source
material and a complete filmography. The book is packed
with fascinating facts, critical summaries and invaluable
contextualising details. It is an invaluable resource for
anyone with an interest in film-making in Britain and Ireland. |
Understanding
Audiences and the Film Industry - Roy Stafford |
 This
new book brings together an introduction to academic study
of audiences as 'readers' of films and an investigation
into how the film industry perceives audiences as part of
its industrial practices. The approach draws on ideas from
film, media and cultural studies in order to present new
insights into a range of puzzling questions, such as: what
makes the biggest box-office films attractive to audiences?
Why do films that work well with audiences sometimes have
poor distribution? What is a cult film, and how do such
films gain this status? |
The
Cinema of North Africa and the Middle East
Edited by Gonul Donmez-Colin |
 The
appreciation of the cinema of North Africa and the Middle
East has blossomed over the 1990s and 2000s with worldwide
acclaim for films from such eminent directors as Abbas Kiarostami
and Nuri Bilge Ceylan. This volume is a timely exploration
of the vibrant films of this reltively undiscovered region
of filmmaking, featuring 24 essays on individual films,
many by scholars and writers based in the region. It explores
established film cultures such as those of Turkey and Iran,
and also nascent cinemas such as those of Israel, Palestine
and Syria. |

Into
Great Silence - Philip Groning |
 Into
Great Silence is the phenomenal box office smash hit about
the life of Carthusian monks in the French Alps. The director,
Philip Groning, made his request to film inside the monastry
19 years ago, only to be told that it was still 'too early.'
Eventually, as a result of this longstanding and trusting
relationship between Groning and the General Prior, permission
to film was granted. The film is a very strict, next to
silent documentary on monastic life with no music or commentary.
The viewer is invited to watch the film as a meditative
experience. |
The
Andrei Tarkovsky Companion |
 Tarkovsky
is unquestionably one of the greatest filmmakers that Russia,
or indeed the world, has ever seen. Although he made just
seven feature films before he died at the age of 54, each
is an artistic masterpiece and a landmark of world cinema.
This exceptional body of work, characterised by spiritual
and metaphysical exploration of the human condition together
with images of extraordinary beauty, is celebrated in this
DVD with films by acclaimed directors Alexander Sokurov,
Chris Marker, and Tarkovsky himself. |
Jodorowsky
Remastered 6 DVD boxset |
 With
El Topo, the violent tale of a leather-clad gunslinger on
a mission to challenge four Zen masters, cult director Alejandro
Jodorowsky gave birth to the counterculture phenomenon of
the midnight movie and carved out a place in history as
one of cinema's most unique and visionary filmmakers. This
essential collection of the director's finest work includes
El Topo and its stunning follow up, The Holy Mountain, as
well as his debut feature Fando and Lis. |
Jean-Luc
Godard: Volume 1 |
 The
most influential of French directors, Godard was a key figure
of the New Wave of the 1960s. From his 1959 debut, A Bout
de Souffle, Godard has remained controversial and intriguing
throughout his lengthy film career. This collection also
contains Passion, Alphaville and Made in the USA, as well
as a comprehensive bonus disc of special features. |
