A Reappraisal

KINO - The Russian and Soviet Cinema

Observing the Body in Physical and Visual Culture

Soviet Spectatorship

BFI Film Classics

The 1989 anime Kiki's Delivery Service, the story of a young witch struggling to find her place in society, is one of the richest of Hiyao Miyazaki's films, and one of the first to enjoy distribution in the West. Daniel Martin's insightful study addresses the film from two key angles: firstly, in terms of its place within the shojo genre in Japanese popular culture: stories about the transformative adventures of teenaged girls, rich in metaphor and meaning. Secondly, Martin discusses Miyazaki's unique approach to the fantasy genre, and the ways his distinct evocation of a grounded but enchanting 'magical realism' in his films relates to theories in fantasy studies. Martin thereby explores the ways in which Miyazaki's filmmaking, and Kiki's Delivery Service in particular, can be understood to have an important place in the canon of popular fantasy that includes the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and J.K. Rowling.

Bloomsbury Adaptation Histories

Noted scholar Imelda Whelehan looks at key adaptations released during this period and considers the impact of social change, film consumption and film tastes, as well as noting the most popular genres at this time. The latter part of the 20th century saw cinema becoming increasingly significant as an art-form, even while its status as 'art' was still openly contested. This installment in the Bloomsbury Adaptation Histories series discusses a rich and exciting period of cinema history: Hollywood in the latter stages of its golden age, releasing masterpiece adaptations such as It's A Wonderful Life (1946), The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948), The Third Man (1949), All About Eve (1950), Rear Window (1954), The Night of the Hunter (1955) and Vertigo (1958).

Post-war Adaptations

Through a re-examination of the theoretical study of time and embodiment, this collection proposes an innovative new discourse in which to situate film. Each of its essays, written by a host of renowned international scholars, demonstrate the embodiment of time to be a vital part of the aesthetic experience of cinema. Analysing a broad range of films such as Beasts of the Southern Wild (USA, 2012), Talk to Her (Spain, 2002), Millennium Actress (Japan, 2001), Jab Tak Hai Jaan (India, 2012), and Jinpa (China, 2018), they each draw specific attention to moments of change and transformation, so as to explore how films operate as dynamic carriers of social meaning. Contributors examine key questions of embodied time as represented on screen; as a way of rethinking the centrality of the individual, of depicting gendered differences, of decentring western perspectives to consider embodied time in a widened global context, and as a way of expanding what embodiment means in post-human narratives. In doing so, this study not only highlights specific discourses of radical, lived experience in film, but also considers how distinctions of race and class, gender and sexuality, migration, religion, and indigeneity affect these depictions of embodied subjectivity.

Time and the Cinematic Body

Radical Embodiment on Film

A key introduction to critical and speculative design practice

History, Theory, and Practices

Critical Design in Context

This book examines the integral role that makeup plays in the construction and promotion of female stardom, focusing on the transitional Hollywood period, between 1950 and 1970, a time of great change in Hollywood with the advent of television, the break-up of the studios and the break-down of the production code. Cathy Lomax's compelling study features in-depth case studies of stars Vivien Leigh, Marilyn Monroe, Natalie Wood, Dorothy Dandridge and Joan Crawford alongside archival images of make-up promotional material and the make up used by stars and their fans to interrogate the role of makeup in defining and adjusting the appearance of race, beauty, ageing, naturalness, and sexual appeal in the star image. Makeup is a vital technical material in film and photography; correcting skin-tones for different film stocks and making features visible under bright lights. But it is also a component of a film's mise-en-scene, intrinsically linked to the visual allure of cinema and helps to shape and refine the female star image, both on- and off-screen. Lomax's case studies show how makeup was used to create female figures such as the femme fatale played by Marilyn Monroe in Niagara (1953); how in various roles Natalie Wood's makeup was used to suggest a youthful, natural and openly sexual young woman, or, when as a white actress she was cast in 'ethnic' roles, to create an impression of a Hispanic, Native American or Black identity; how Dorothy Dandridge's light skin challenged codes around inter-racial relationships, with the result that her skin was darkened for love scenes with Black actors, and how the transition to colour impacted Joan Crawford's star persona as she aged, and how ideas about the grotesque nature of female ageing were represented in the 1960s cycle of 'hag horror' movies such as 1962's Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? Drawing on film studies, feminist debates on masquerade theory, celebrity studies and fashion and cultural studies, alongside information from biographies, fan magazines, archives, and practical experience from her own work as a makeup artist, Lomax reveals the vital and under-examined role that makeup plays in the display of femininity on film, and how this is exemplified through the construction of individuated stardom. By making visible a material, that because of its connection with feminine adornment has been overlooked or disregarded, this book highlights undervalued labour, and foregrounds the female agency that was articulated by the design and application of makeup.

Making Up the Star

This collection analyzes Joshua Oppenheimer's diptych The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence as a cinematic event that invites interrelated questions on historical memory, truth and reconciliation, and the limits of documentary filmmaking. 

Featuring a new interview with Joshua Oppenheimer himself, On the Act of Looking affirms Oppenheimer's use of fiction and manipulation as a technique to expose, contrary to the classic documentary form, not so much a reality behind the appearance of things, but how appearance as such can become a site of intervention or truth-telling. Contributors to this collection, including film scholars, art historians, historians, political scientists, philosophers, and Indonesian human rights activists, answer why Oppenheimer's documentary films not only have received near universal praise and admiration, but also why this praise is often qualified by surprise and fascination.

Contemporary Critical Approaches

Madness in Print and Visual Culture

This book examines a range of systems and structures that film and video artists have developed in works spanning the late 1960s to the present, often in response to the changing technologies and medium of cinema. Simon Payne considers the affinities that film and video works share with aspects of painting, sculpture and music. He argues that the evolution of methodical strategies in artists' cinema can be traced back to the first avant-garde films made a century ago between 1921-1924. Tracing the lineage of key figures and international groups that have formed part of the picture since then, he posits that the most thorough formal exploration of cinema can be credited to a generation of artists that began making films in Britain in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He goes on to analyse the work of key filmmakers including Peter Gidal, David Hall, Malcolm Le Grice, Annabel Nicolson, Lis Rhodes and Guy Sherwin. Paying close attention to their recent films and videos as well as those of diverse younger artists working in a similar tradition. Experimental Cinema, Structures and Systems traces a unique and influential lineage that has defined some of the central preoccupations of experimental film and video, which tests our expectations of cinema, television and the moving image.
