Download or read book Defining Cinema written by Peter Lehman. This book was released on 1997. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defining Cinema is the first book to bring together leading theorists and scholars to discuss the importance of film theory to cinema studies. Peter Lehman introduces the volume by explaining what constitutes film theory and outlining the major positions within the field by placing these five theorists and their work within a historical perspective. Andre Bazin and Siegfried Kracauer represent realist film theories, and Sergei Eisenstein represents a formalist position. Noel Burch and Christian Metz are contemporary theorists who have moved beyond the classical realist-formalist opposition. Burch's theory encompasses films and styles praised by both Bazin and Eisenstein, and Metz helped bring semiotics and psychoanalytic theory to prominence in the field.

Book Synopsis Defining Cult Movies by : Mark Jancovich
Download or read book Defining Cult Movies written by Mark Jancovich. This book was released on 2003-11-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection concentrates on the analysis of cult movies, how they are defined, who defines them and the cultural politics of these definitions. The definition of the cult movie relies on a sense of its distinction from the "mainstream" or "ordinary." This also raises issues about the perception of it as an oppositional form of cinema, and of its strained relationships to processes of institutionalization and classification. In other words, cult movie fandom has often presented itself as being in opposition to the academy, commercial film industries and the media more generally, but has been far more dependent on these forms than it has usually been willing to admit. The international roster of essayists range over the full and entertaining gamut of cult films from Dario Argento, Spanish horror and Peter Jackson's New Zealand gorefests to sexploitation, kung fu and sci-fi flicks.

Book excerpt: "In an industry where top-tier talent like John Ford, Frank Capra, and Alfred Hitchcock took some time to reach what many consider to be their most mature and celebrated period of filmmaking, Mamoulian is notable among studio-era Hollywood directors for "finding" his style and offering it nearly full blown upon his first feature-film outing. With the exception of Orson Welles, it would be difficult to name another studio-era director who burst so strikingly onto the film scene with an approach that seemed to redefine stylistic expectations. Certainly temperament helped-Mamoulian was ambitious, confident, and eager to follow his artistic instincts. Mamoulian was also fortunate to begin his career at Paramount, a studio known for giving its directors more autonomy than the norm, at the precise moment when the arrival of sound film threw the parameters and definition of cinema into question. But equally important, Mamoulian was able to announce himself as a filmmaker with such daring and assurance in Applause (1929) because he had spent the previous half-dozen years thinking deeply about art and how it should be used"--
