Poncet A: Doug Chiang: The Cinematic
Legacy (Volume I) & The Star Wars Legac

Doug Chiang: The Cinematic Legacy (Volume I) & The Star Wars Legacy (Volume II)

Magic Rays of Light is an original and ambitious history of the largely unknown early years of television in Britain. A detailed cultural study of the first demonstrations, of the extensive experimental broadcasts between 1928 and 1935, and of the BBC's richly varied daily service starting in November 1936 from Alexandra Palace, the book overturns the popular mis-conception that television in Britain effectively began with Elizabeth II's Coronation in 1953. In tracing this history, John Wyver chronicles the process by which a technology became a medium. He argues that much of what that television as we knew it in the late twentieth century was created within the fluid and at times unstable forms of the interwar medium. Most fundamentally the basics of television's screen language and grammar were developed. As this emerged, television drama flourished in the staging of more than 400 plays, from Shakespeare and Agatha Christie to Pirandello and P.G. Wodehouse, starring luminaries including Laurence Olivier, Sybil Thorndike and Peggy Ashcroft. Outside broadcasts of state occasions, and of Wimbledon and Test matches, were pioneered, along with transmissions of the Derby (from 1931 onwards) and the FA Cup Final. Light entertainment formats, quiz shows and the direct ancestor of countless magazine programmes were devised, alongside ambitious presentations of classical ballet and grand opera. As a striking counterpoint to this story, Magic Rays of Light also celebrates the inchoate, indeterminate nature of interwar television. In certain key ways, from the first imaginaries and sci-fi visions of television, and in aspects of how it was made, of what was produced and how this was seen, early television was entirely distinct from what the medium later became. The book reveals television's forgotten pasts and unrealised futures, including the low resolution, vertical format transmissions of John Logie Baird's first systems, and the live, large-screen electronic projection systems known as 'cinema television'. Relaying sports events and pageantry to cinemas, this pre-war sensation was seen by the BBC as a serious threat to its monopoly. By attending closely to the transmissions of the first fifteen years, to the emerging medium's industrial context, and to its intermedial links with radio, theatre, cinema, music hall, sport and more, Magic Rays of Light illuminates television's place in the cultural and social histories of Britain between the wars.

This beautiful art book comes from Canadian artist Audra Auclair, whose work has spanned across many years and many mediums.&nbsp; Countless fans have fallen in love with her artwork thanks to her attempts to express the complexities of human emotion, and the merging of fantastical elements,nature, and stunning vibrant colours situations in her work. She has built up almost half a million followers on her Instagram account and runs a very popular Patreon, where she shares WIPs and access to her personal sketchbook. She also sells prints and products featuring her artwork from her online store.&nbsp;In this exclusive book, Audra takes readers on a journey through her creative history, opening up about her early years, childhood influences, struggles, and ambitions. She then shows us behind the scenes in her studio and discusses her personal techniques, including how she uses a sketchbook and conceptualizes. Then, presenting something a little different to other available 'Art of' books, Audra has written a chapter on an artist's relationship with art and provided some self-help-esque discussions for fellow creatives. From seeing creation as a spiritual force to being able to draw boundaries and maintain artistic confidence, this section is invaluable for artists of any ability.&nbsp;We then have beautiful galleries of Audra's complete work in various mediums, plus step-by-step tutorials for readers to follow - on topics including gouache painting, redrawing old art, creating digital art, drawing something in your own style, and mixing media.&nbsp;This is a highly interesting, ever-inspiring collection of art and writings from a thoughtful, hugely talented creative artist.

Sean Redmond's work fills an important gap in the scholarship on the European-inspired auteur working within the Hollywood cinema machine, Kathryn Bigelow. Structured to meet the needs of both the student and scholar, Redmond's volume situates Bigelow within her historical and critical context, exploring key collaborative relationships and new ways of watching her films. Beginning with Bigelow's biography, Redmond surveys the evolution of Kathryn's career as a Hollywood outsider with movies such as The Set-up (1978) and Near Dark (1987) to Hollywood blockbusters like Point Break (1991), The Hurt Locker (2010) and Zero Dark Thirty (2012).One of the key determinants of this volume is to locate Bigelow as a filmmaking artist who is able to transcend the collective, industrial, and commercial constraints of the Hollywood cinema machine to individually author her films in innovative and transgressive ways. Bigelow is contextualised as a contemporary auteur, with a distinct visual style who returns to the same themes and obsessions, and as a filmmaker who pushes cinematic boundaries, both in terms of film form and the representation of gender and sexuality.
