Hannah Bailey has sealed her heart against love, she's resigned herself to a dead-end job and her catastrophic thinking is out of control. In fact, she's hard pushed to find a single reason for her existence - until the day she stumbles across a tiny cinema with just one seat - Cinema Lumiere is a cinema with a difference. No ticket is required and once inside, each customer is shown a subtly edited film of their life. But how does its French owner Victor make such films and why is he so determined to coax Hannah into that single red velvet seat?
Louis Lumière is perhaps best known in the U.S. for his seminal role in the invention of cinema, but his most important contribution to the history of photography was the autochrome. Engagingly written and marvelously illustrated with over 300 images, The Lumière Autochrome: History, Technology, and Preservation tells the fascinating story of the first industrially produced form of color photography. Initial chapters present the Lumière family enterprise, set out the challenges posed by early color photography, and recount the invention, rise, and eventual decline of the autochrome, which for the first four decades of the twentieth century was the most widely used form of commercial color...
Natalie Conway should be thrilled at the prospect of covering the Cannes Film Festival.

So France is Nattie's personal nightmare -- but with the bank foreclosing on her house in Los A...

Lhomme qui nie lexistence dun Dieu-Crateur de toutes choses ne risque-t-il pas de se prendre pour Dieu ? Les crits sur lathisme sont lgion, font recette aujourdhui ! Question : comment reconnatre le bon grain de livraie ? Lintrt de ce Contre-chant lathisme de Richard Dawkins rside dabord dans sa conception, son approche, son style; il se trouve ensuite tre rvlateur et savamment clairant. Son auteur, Gilles Charles Vuille, na pas cherch, comme Richard Dawkins, transmettre sa pense personnelle, mais tout son contraire : on ressent, en effet, cette proccupation distiller, au fil des pages, des paroles fortes manant dune multitude dhommes et de femmes notoires, ayant fait lexprience de lAmour de Dieu. Cette recherche minutieuse, travers les millnaires, amne progressivement vider de sa substance les thses sur lathisme. Voil une lecture qui pourrait bien nous mener la Lumire ! Luc Claessens
With this lucid translation of Du litteraire au filmique, André Gaudreault's highly influential and original study of film narratology is now accessible to English-language audiences for the first time. Building a theory of narrative on sources as diverse as Plato, The Arabian Nights,and Proust, From Plato to Lumière challenges narratological orthodoxy by positing that all forms of narrative are mediated by an "underlying narrator" who exists between the author and narrative text. Offering illuminating insights, definitions, and formal distinctions, Gaudreault examines the practices of novelists, playwrights, and filmmakers and applies his theory to the early cinema of the Lumière brothers and more recent films. He also enhances our understanding of how narrative develops visually without language - monstration - by detailing how the evolution of the medium influenced narratives in cinema. From Plato to Lumière includes a translation of Paul Ricoeur's preface to the French-language edition as well as a new preface by Tom Gunning. It is a must-read for cinema and media students and scholars and an essential text on the study of narrative.

Le printemps revient. L'aubépine fleurit. La chaleur du soleil balaie la place. L'enfant joue au pied de la stèle sous le regard de sa mère et de son père. Il lève de temps à autre la tête vers le graveur qui s'affaire patiemment. L'enfant ne sait pas encore lire. Quelle importance pour lui ? Les noms ne sont rien. Ils finiront par disparaître eux aussi. Ils finiront par ne plus rien signifier pour personne et l'on détruira la stèle pour faire passer une route à la place. L'enfant ne sait pas ce qui a été et ce qui sera. Cette pierre ne signifie rien pour lui mais la souffrance reste. La souffrance des combattants, celle des victimes, est éternelle.
