Um saudosismo com cheiro de terra molhada pela chuva. Esse é o cheiro dessas páginas – sejam digitais ou físicas! Uma antologia que reúne as nuances de várias infâncias pelo mundo afora: do colorido em uma folha de papel A4 à melancolia de uma vida dura, desde os primeiros segundos neste planeta azul. Nuances e divergências à parte, o ponto comum e possível de vislumbrar na antologia “Infâncias” é que o tecido que separa a própria infância da poesia é tão sutil que em certos pontos é muito difícil distingui-los. Dito isso, esta antologia tem de fato muito de infância dentro de si. Talvez seja uma forma de infância. Dos medos absurdos à uma casinha com uma árvore em um dia de sol… Ah! Infâncias… M. Sales

Chromatic Cinema Color permeates film and its history, but study of its contribution to film has so far been fragmentary. Chromatic Cinema provides the first wide-ranging historical overview of screen color, exploring the changing uses and meanings of color in moving images, from hand painting in early skirt dance films to current trends in digital color manipulation. In this richly illustrated study, Richard Misek offers both a history and a theory of screen color. He argues that cinematic color emerged from, defined itself in response to, and has evolved in symbiosis with black and white. Exploring the technological, cultural, economic, and artistic factors that have defined this evolving symbiosis, Misek provides an in-depth yet accessible account of color’s spread through, and ultimate effacement of, black-and-white cinema.
