After covering the fundamentals of light and shade, he explores the ways lighting and shading can be used to describe form, push character stylization, and enhance storytelling.&nbsp;This is followed by eight invaluable tutorials from global artists, including Iranian concept artist Taraneh Karimi, Serbian illustrator Ognjen Sporin, and Italian character designer Isabella Agosti. They cover a range of topics, including ‘Controlling tonal structure of a character with light and shade’, ‘Using light within a character design’, and ‘Using light and shade in a stylized 3D character’.&nbsp;With a compact format and short, clear tutorial steps, this book is ideal for those wanting a quick reference guide or more relaxed approach from a tutorial book. It’s an ideal gift for an artist friend just discovering their digital-painting skills, or a must-buy for artists wanting to discover how the professionals create spot-on lighting and shade in their designs.

Character Design Quarterly 34

What does feminist filmmaking in the 21st century look like? This book assesses the influence of Western feminist theory on contemporary film and television - nearly fifty years after Claire Johnston and Laura Mulvey called for a feminist counter-cinema - highlighting the cross-fertilization between feminist film theory and practice. Is there a #Metoo genre? Have traditional Hollywood genres been reframed? How has intersectional feminist film theory been explored on screen? In essays spanning film and television in a broad range of genres from the US, the UK and India, contributors renew definitions of feminist filmmaking since second wave feminist film scholars first grappled with the image of women in film and the role of women in the film industry. Feminist Visions provides an insightful space for discussion of feminist film theory as applied to recent TV series such as Devious Maids (2013-2016), Unbelievable (2019), Greenleaf (2016-2020), I May Destroy You (2020) and Insecure (2016-2021) and films including Maid in Manhattan (2002), Night Moves (2014), Gone Girl (2014), I Care a Lot (2020) and The Discreet Charm of the Savarnas (2020).

Departing from standard histories, this book draws on the theory of excess in film to provide a re-examination of Polish cinema history, following emancipatory impulses that emerged in Polish culture between the great crisis of 1968-marked by the expulsion of Polish Jews and persecution of students-and the conservative revolution of the Solidarity movement in the 1980s. Employing a transnational and decolonial lens, Sebastian Jagielski argues that beyond the binary of state-endorsed and official 'opposition' media, there exists a range of subversive and radical films. He provides close readings of key examples such as The Devil (Diabel)(1972), A Story of Sin (Dzieje grzechu)(1975) and The Palace (Palac)(1980), considering their depiction and transformation of emancipatory ideals born out of Western countercultural movements. He also explores the filmmaking practices of directors like Andrzej Wajda to Andrzej Zulawski, examining their use of subtext, seemingly lurid narratives and subversive embedded gestures, produced against the backdrop of Communist Poland's censorship practices. In doing so he proposes a critical revision of the normative cinema of moral anxiety. He goes on to consider how on screen depictions of sexuality intersect with various modes of difference, highlighting the impact of racism, homophobia, misogyny, and classism. Rejecting a linear narrative in favour of a fragmented history, Jagielski uncovers the untold stories of Polish cinema's subversive influences.

The Politics of Excess in Polish Cinema

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.

Art as worldmaking is both a tribute to the distinguished art historian Alex Potts and a searching response to his important work on realism as a critical aesthetic, most notably the 2013 book Experiments in modern realism. The collection comprises twenty original essays by leading scholars in the field, written from a variety of theoretical and critical perspectives. They test Potts's recasting of realism, developed primarily through interpretations of European and American postwar art, against art produced in different media, places and periods, from eighth-century Chinese gardens to twenty-first-century video work by the Russian collective Radek Community. Individual chapters offer novel readings of classic instances of pictorial realism by Menzel and Eakins, and reconsider the question of nineteenth-century realism's historical antecedents. Overall, though, the volume has a contemporary orientation, in that it is concerned with the questions that sculpture, photography and non-traditional media pose for realism as an aesthetic norm. Featuring contributions from T. J. Clark, Thomas Crow, Briony Fer, Tamar Garb, Lisa Tickner and Anne M. Wagner, along with other established and emerging scholars, Art as worldmaking is a bold contribution to a central question in art theory and history. It is compelling reading for anyone concerned with art's truth value, or more broadly with conceptual problems of representation and the intersections of art and politics.

With the abrogation of the Zen Buddhist Fuke sect during Japan's modernisation process in the late nineteenth century, the raison d'être for the shakuhachi (Japanese vertical bamboo flute) as a spiritual tool for mendicant monks suddenly vanished. Thereafter, playing the shakuhachi changed from spiritual practice to professional musicianship or musical hobby. The fact that the instrument had been modified and 'improved' has been a well-kept secret. The old style shakuhachi, now named jinashi shakuhachi, became a marginalised instrument for eccentrics. However, during the past decade it has gained popularity, especially outside Japan, where it is considered to be 'the real thing' as opposed to the modernised jinuri shakuhachi. Kiku Day examines how the jinashi shakuhachi, although constructed according to the principles current prior to the Meiji Restoration, itself has been modified to adapt to the needs of modern players. In order to place the instrument into the modern world in its own right, the author, a professional jinashi shakuhachi player, describes her recent collaboration with five international composers on a performance project with the aim of creating a new repertoire. This process of cross cultural creation is described against the background of action research, Theory U, and the theory of flow.

Laura Hope and Philippa Kelly make use of first-hand interviews with directors, actors, designers, and critics, as well as their own experiences in the theatre, to open up feminist dramaturgy as a field of enquiry and performance possibility. Resisting dogma, the authors cast a critical eye on past and present practices as they argue for the feminist dramaturg's role in shaping a theatre company's sense of its production potential.

In their lively invocation of a feminist dramaturgy that can lead to innovative and challenging directions in modern theatre-making, Laura Hope and Philippa Kelly make use of first-hand interviews with directors, actors, designers, and critics, as well as their own experiences in the theatre, to open up feminist dramaturgy as a field of enquiry and performance possibility.   The authors begin by discussing what happens when a dramaturg's performance strategies are vastly different from what a director envisions. This discussion moves naturally to Hope and Kelly's analysis of canonical plays they hope to re-think in terms of gender at the same time that they resist the implication that a feminist perspective is a prescription for a political and social agenda. Casting a critical eye on "mainstream" approaches to classical plays, the authors revisit casting practices, editing philosophies, and directorial concepts that provide thin, stereotypical depictions of male and female characters, arguing for closer textual and cultural analyses of misguided ventures such as the Lysistrata Project. Their commentary on appeals to audience involvement highlights the difficulty of challenging audience preconceptions and the possibilities for expanding audience reception, while the counterproductive rigidity with which organizations like the Beckett estate resist new  approaches to theatrical production are exposed in a discussion of feminist dramaturgy's potential to reinvigorate a play like Waiting for Godot. Adventures in Dramaturgy concludes with the authors' personal journey to forge new directions within a specific theatre company and in the professional world at large.

Global Exploitation Cinemas

Discourses of cult cinema primarily centre around the West, with a particular emphasis upon Anglo-American cinema and fandom. Meanwhile, scholarship on world cinema privileges art cinema traditions and downplays those areas of popular cinema that intersect with cult. Global Cult Cinemas makes a decisive intervention by specifically addressing the transnational dynamics underpinning cult cinema. From studies of film reception that trace the international spread of cult film practices through to accounts of cult filmmaking traditions from a diverse range of film cultures, Global Cult Cinemas works towards the goal of de-Westernizing the discipline.

With contributors and topics from across the globe, Global Cult Cinemas explores this de-Westernization through filmmakers and current events such as Alejandro Jodorowsky in the era of #MeToo, cinephilia in Pakistan, and the reception of the Czech Crazy Comedy. While broadening the study of cult cinema beyond its predominant US focus, this book disrupts the realm of traditional cult cinema scholarship.

Global Cult Cinemas calls for a decolonisation of cult film studies. 
 
To date, discourses of cult cinema have predominantly focused upon Anglo-American cinema and its reception in the West. Even when cult scholarship has expanded to include non-English language cinema from regions such as East and Southeast Asia, what nevertheless tends to define these cinemas as cult has been the subcultural fandom for those films in the West. Shifting the focus onto cult film traditions and fandoms beyond the Anglosphere, Global Cult Cinemas makes a decisive intervention in the field by calling for a decolonisation of cult film studies. 
 
This volume therefore interrogates both the coloniality and gendered nature of much cult scholarship and the extent to which an implicit white male perspective needs challenging in an age of decolonising the academy. Our contributors focus their research on circuits of cult film production and reception beyond the predominant Anglophone centres, with particular attention to cult practices across the Global South. Chapters include investigations of specific cult film traditions within countries such as Brazil, Indonesia and Pakistan, alongside explorations of the politics of indigenous cult filmmaking, the global circulation of cult icons such as El Santo, and the status of auteurs such as Alejandro Jodorowsky in the era of #MeToo. In sum, this collection critiques the Eurocentric assumptions that lie at the heart of much existing cult film scholarship, and offers new ways of theorizing global cult cinemas to work towards the goal of decolonising cult film studies.
