My Umbrian Kitchen
Join Patrizia Simone, Umbrian-Australian chef and advocate of eating and living by the seasons, as she shares the time-honoured rituals, agricultural activities and treasured family recipes she brought with her to Bright in Victoria from her childhood in rural Umbria. More than just a cookbook, it is a guide to a way of life whose traditions and rituals we can learn from and keep alive today, wherever we are. From the celebrations and recipes integral to Easter in the Umbrian spring and preserving the bounty of the tomato vines in summer, to foraging for chestnuts and preserving the olive harvest in autumn and the traditions accompanying the salami and sausage-making event that is il maile, the preserving of all edible parts of a pig during winter, this book captures the essence of Umbria and its culinary traditions.
Wake Up and Change Your Ways
At breakfast in the morning, without thinking, we might pop a piece of bread, a donut or a pastry in our mouths, while catching up on the news on TV or social media. That ́s just how it is! But from that first moment in the kitchen, we should be asking ourselves, “What am I putting into my body?”; and later in the bath or shower, we should wonder “What am I putting on my skin?” The moment you ask these questions, you become aware. The questions raise more questions, and we find that one by one, the answers trigger events that will lead to a true awakening! After ten years of research, I want to share some revelations that could change your life - and perhaps the course of humanity - for the better.
The Blood Runs Cold
Still battling each other and the blue wall, NYPD Detectives Chiara Corelli and P.J. Parker catch a new murder case. The victim, a gay man, is posed with a rosary in his hands, the smell of incense in the air and Gregorian chants playing in the background. While Corelli and Parker search for leads, Kate Burke, the lesbian Speaker of the City Council asks for an update on the investigation. Thinking Burke is playing politics, Corelli ignores the request. In the meantime, two more bodies are found, both laid out in the same way. Pressured by the chief, Corelli goes to Kate’s office where a photograph of the speaker with a group of friends catches her eye. Corelli recognizes the three victims and, to her horror, three others. Suddenly the case becomes personal. Fearing a serial killer is picking off the people in the photograph, fearing the next victim will be someone she loves, Corelli races to find the murderer before he kills again.
MUBI and the Curation Model of Video on Demand
Subscription video on demand (SVOD) represents the fastest-growing means to consume films and series. Although market leaders Netflix and Amazon Prime have received much scholarly attention for the way that they use algorithms and big data to connect users to content, there is another significant, relatively unexamined model: curation-style services such as BFI Player, IFC Unlimited, the Criterion Channel or MUBI — the latter, which forms the focus of this book, claims to be the world's most subscribed independent video on demand service. These platforms take advantage of common anxieties about algorithms, cultural surplus and filter bubbles to promote discovery, human-generated recommenda...

Filming in European Cities
Filming in European Cities explores the effort behind creating screen production locations. Ipek A. Celik Rappas accounts the rising demand for original and affordable locations for screen projects due to the growth of streaming platforms. As a result, screen professionals are repeatedly tasked with chores such as transforming a former factory in Istanbul to resemble a war zone in Aleppo, or finding a London street that evokes Barcelona. Celik Rappas highlights the pivotal role crew members play in transforming cities and locations into functional screen settings. Examining five European media capitals—Athens, Belfast, Berlin, Istanbul, and Paris—the book delves into the overlooked aspects of location-related screen labor and its ability to generate production value. Filming in European Cities demonstrates that in its perpetual quest for authentic filming locations, the screen industry extracts value from cities and neighborhoods, their marginalized residents, and screen labor, enriching itself through this triple exploitation.

Showing and Telling: Film heritage institutes and their performance of public accountability
'Showing and Telling' is the first academic work to explore how publicly funded film heritage institutes account for their mandate in their public activities. It does that by inspecting and evaluating public presentations and visitor information about these presentations. The research was done by juxtaposing two complementary approaches. The first is grounded in the author’s experience as a collection researcher and curator and makes a case for the richness of archival objects usually ignored for their lack of aesthetic qualities. The second is a survey of the public activities of 24 institutes worldwide, based on their websites, in February 2014; the latter constitutes a unique source. Th...
