Border Visions
Over the last several decades, the boundaries of languages and national and ethnic identities have been shifting, altering the notion of borders around the world. Borderland areas, such as East and West Europe, the US/Mexican frontera, and the Middle East, serve as places of cultural transfer and exchange, as well as arenas of violent conflict and segregation. As communities around the world merge across national borders, new multi-ethnic and multicultural countries have become ever more common. Border Visions: Identity and Diaspora in Film offers an overview of global cinema that addresses borders as spaces of hybridity and change. In this collection of essays, contributors examine how cine...

The Cinema of the Balkans
Another in the 24 Frames series, each of these twenty-four essays discusses an individual film from the Balkan region (Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Albania, and the former Yugoslavia-Serbia, Macedonia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Croatia, and Slovenia). These films represent the rich and diverse culture of the Balkans and reveal the stylistic and thematic affinities of a region often perceived as a disconnected cultural space. Films include: Stella (Greece, 1955), Goat's Horn (Bulgaria, 1972), When I Am Dead and Pale (Yugoslavia, 1969), The Red Horse (Yugoslavia, 1984), Stone Wedding (Romania, 1971), and Walter Defends Sarajevo (Yugoslavia, 1972).

Dictionnaire présentant sous forme d'articles thématiques la personnalité du cinéaste, son univers, ses grands thèmes d'inspiration, sa carrière de musicien, etc.
Emir Kusturica
With no less than two Golden Palms from Cannes and scores of other top awards, Bosnian-born Emir Kusturica is one of the most decorated and celebrated film directors in the world. Films such as Time of the Gypsies (1989) and Underground (1995) have captivated audiences with their extraordinary imagination, exuberant energy and challenging and often contentious subjectmatter. But Kusturica is also one of the most controversial directors working in cinema today. While many critics have praised his free-flying fantasy, others have found his films excessively exoticised and overdrawn. Some have publicly criticised his politics. He has an extensive international fan following who worship his work...
Los Grandes Directores de Cine
Una obra que reúna todos aquellos realizadores que han escrito páginas memorables en la historia del cine. No es tarea fácil recopilar la trayectoria de los directores esenciales del universo cinematográfico. Y es que hoy en día a nadie se le escapa ya la gran influencia que ha ejercido el cine en nuestra vida. Por eso, es de suma importancia tener a nuestro alcance una obra que trata de "reunir a aquellos realizadores en posesión de un estatus de autor que hubieran desarrollado su propia concepción del cine y una expresión cinematográfica original". De Tim Burton a Charlie Chaplin, de Stanley Kubrick a Fritz Lang, de Federico Fellini a Yasujiro Ozu, de Jean Renoir a Woody Allen y O...

Emir Kusturica
Emir Kusturica is one of Eastern Europe's most celebrated and influential filmmakers. Over the course of a thirty-year career, Kusturica has navigated a series of geopolitical fault lines to produce subversive, playful, often satiric works. On the way he won acclaim and widespread popularity while showing a genius for adjusting his poetic pitch--shifting from romantic realist to controversial satirist to sentimental jester. Leading scholar-critic Giorgio Bertellini divides Kusturica's career into three stages--dissention, disconnection, and dissonance--to reflect both the historic and cultural changes going on around him and the changes his cinema has undergone. He uses Kusturica's Palme d'O...
Migne mystique
Eté 1409 ; dans un béguinage de la Flandre bourguignonne, une communauté de femmes vit dans le secret et à l'écart de la société. Elle rejette toute autorité civile ou religieuse. C'est dans ce contexte d'isolement et de crise théologique entre Avignon et Rome qu'une jeune novice, Mechthilde, découvre à ses dépens les règles strictes, autoritaires et sombres de la vie du béguinage. Non sans peur, elle enquête, malgré les menaces, au sein de sa nouvelle communauté pour comprendre ce qui s'y déroule et décrypter la migne mystique, entre crimes et châtiments. Un thriller médiéval palpitant, qui nous emmène dans le huis clos mystérieux de ce béguinage flamand. La Migne mystique révèle des pistes à décoder mais, au fur et à mesure que le lecteur s'enfonce avec les béguines, la part de mystère s'accentue pour devenir angoisse...
Croatie, Bosnie-Herzégovine, Serbie mises en scènes
L'âme slave, le souffle de l'Orient, l'humour balkanique, la musique tzigane ont, entre autres richesses, contribué à donner au cinéma de ces trois pays issus de l'ex-Yougoslavie une diversité et une densité inimitables. Aleksandar Petrovic (J'ai même rencontré des Tziganes heureux), Danis Tanovic (No Man's Land) et, bien sûr, Emir Kusturica, deux fois Palme d'or au Festival de Cannes, en sont les meilleurs exemples. La Croatie, la Bosnie-Herzégovine et la Serbie ont également attiré de nombreux réalisateurs venus du monde entier : Orson Welles, Terence Young, Jackie Chan, Jean-Luc Godard, Volker Schlöndorff, etc. Partir sur les traces de ces cinéastes : c'est ce que propose ce nouveau livre de la collection Ciné voyage, enrichi de nombreuses cartes et de plusieurs index.
