Motion Picture Directing: The Facts and Theories of the Newest Art
A motion picture is an incredibly effective medium for delivering drama, specifically in the evocation of emotion. This art is highly complicated, requiring contributions from nearly all the other arts and countless technical skills. Appearing at the end of the 19th century, this new art form became one of the most famous and influential media of the 20th century and after. 'Motion Picture Directing' is a helpful piece by American screenwriter Peter Milne to reduce the complexity of this art by making several things easy to understand. The author writes wonderfully about the developments, the abilities, characteristics, and essential qualities after spending nearly ten years in the motion picture industry as a critic and writer. He gives valuable insights into the various methods and techniques that were used during that time in the field. It proves helpful to budding directors and the skilled ones as an introduction to the history of directing.
Mapping the Moving Image
In Mapping the Moving Image, Pasi Valiaho offers a compelling study of how the medium of film came to shape our experience and thinking of the world and ourselves. By locating the moving image in new ways of seeing and saying as manifest in the arts, science and philosophy at the turn of the twentieth century, the book redefines the cinema as one of the most important anthropological processes of modernity. Moving beyond the typical understanding of cinema based on optical and linguistic models, Mapping the Moving Image takes the notion of rhythm as its cue in conceptualizing the medium's morphogenetic potentialities to generate affectivity, behaviour, and logics of sense. It provides a clear picture of how the forms of early film, while mobilizing bodily gestures and demanding intimate, affective engagement from the viewer, emerged in relation to bio-political investments in the body. The book also charts from a fresh perspective how the new gestural dynamics and visuality of the moving image fed into our thinking of time, memory and the unconscious.

They Live
“One of the cleverest, most accessibly in-depth film books released this year . . . a smart-ass novelist exploring a cheesy-cheeky ‘80s sci-fi flick.”—Hartford Advocate Deep Focus is a series of film books with a fresh approach. Take the smartest, liveliest writers in contemporary letters and let them loose on the most vital and popular corners of cinema history: midnight movies, the New Hollywood of the sixties and seventies, film noir, screwball comedies, international cult classics, and more . . . Kicking off the series is Jonathan Lethem’s take on They Live, John Carpenter’s 1988 classic amalgam of deliberate B-movie, sci-fi, horror, anti-Yuppie agitprop. Lethem exfoliates Carpenter’s paranoid satire in a series of penetrating, free-associational forays into the context of a story that peels the human masks off the ghoulish overlords of capitalism. Taking into consideration classic Hollywood cinema and science fiction—as well as popular music and contemporary art and theory—They Live provides a wholly original perspective on Carpenter’s subversive classic.
