Chronology of the Birth of Cinema 1833–1896
by Deac RossellWritten from an international perspective, this account of the origins of the cinema begins in 1833 with the introduction of optical toys for reproducing movement and ends with a thorough examination of the first full year of projected moving pictures in 1896. Comprehensive and verifiable, with citations that support each individual entry, the book examines the events that culminated in the establishment of the moving picture world that was the dominant visual medium of the last century. Drawing on a range of international sources, this chronology is a readable, vivid account that corrects many longstanding errors in the story of moving pictures while at the same time recording the astounding diversity of ideas, apparatus, personalities, and exhibitions that turned a passing novelty into a major industry. Populated by dreamers, inventors, scientists, and entrepreneurs with widely different skills, interests, and backgrounds, the many origins of the cinema are all recorded here in a rich tapestry that has been woven with attention to the detailed shape and placement of each individual thread. The result is a fully- indexed reference that reflects the state of modern scholarship and should be useful over the long term as both a reference to the period of early cinema and as a starting point for further research.
Chuck Berry: An American Life
by RJ SmithThe definitive biography of Chuck Berry, legendary performer and inventor of rock and roll Best known as the groundbreaking artist behind classics like &“Johnny B. Goode,&” &“Maybellene,&” &“You Never Can Tell&” and &“Roll Over Beethoven,&” Chuck Berry was a man of wild contradictions, whose motives and motivations were often shrouded in mystery. After all, how did a teenage delinquent come to write so many songs that transformed American culture? And, once he achieved fame and recognition, why did he put his career in danger with a lifetime&’s worth of reckless personal behavior? Throughout his life, Berry refused to shed light on either the mastery or the missteps, leaving the complexity that encapsulated his life and underscored his music largely unexplored—until now. In Chuck Berry, biographer RJ Smith crafts a comprehensive portrait of one of the great American entertainers, guitarists, and lyricists of the 20th century, bringing Chuck Berry to life in vivid detail. Based on interviews, archival research, legal documents, and a deep understanding of Berry&’s St. Louis (his birthplace, and the place where he died in March 2017), Smith sheds new light on a man few have ever really understood. By placing his life within the context of the American culture he made and eventually withdrew from, we understand how Berry became such a groundbreaking figure in music, erasing racial boundaries, crafting subtle political commentary, and paying a great price for his success. While celebrating his accomplishments, the book also does not shy away from troubling aspects of his public and private life, asking profound questions about how and why we separate the art from the artist. Berry declined to call himself an artist, shrugging that he was good at what he did. But the man's achievement was the rarest kind, the kind that had social and political resonance, the kind that made America want to get up and dance. At long last, Chuck Berry brings the man and the music together.

Chuck Jones: A Flurry of Drawings (Portraits of American Genius #3)
by Hugh KennerCreator of the mono-maniacal Wile E. Coyote and his elusive prey, the Road Runner, Chuck Jones has won three Academy Awards and been responsible for many classics of animation featuring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, and Elmer Fudd. Who better to do Chuck Jones than Hugh Kenner, master wordsmith and technophile, a man especially qualified to illuminate the form of literacy that Jones so wonderfully executes in the art of character animation? A Flurry of Drawings reveals in cartoon-like sequences the irrepressible humor and profound reflection that have shaped Chuck Jones's work. Unlike Walt Disney, Jones and his fellow animators at Warner Brothers were not interested in cartoons that mimicked reality. They pursued instead the reality of the imagination, the Toon world where believability is more important than realism and movement is the ultimate aesthetic arbiter. Kenner offers both a fascinating explanation of cartoon culture and a new understanding of art's relationship to technology, criticism, freedom, and imagination. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1994.

The Church Cantatas of J. S. Bach
by Alec RobertsonFor nearly every Sunday from 1723 to 1728, J S Bach composed and his young orphan boy-students performed, a half-hour cantata in the Lutheran church services of the Saint Thomas Church in Leipzig, Germany. A cantata usually began with a chorus, contained recitatives (narrative) and arias (meditations) and closed with a hymn (chorale). Bach's cantatas contain more than 1500 movements, filling 67 compact discs in today's recordings. They contain dozens of magnificent choruses and hundreds of deeply-felt and spectacular arias and chorales. Alec Robertson analyzes 173 of Bach's roughly 210 extant cantatas. He organizes them according to the Lutheran church year, starting with Advent and ending with the Reformation Festival of October 30. He introduces each Sunday and feast day with the Biblical citations which were usually the basis for the cantatas. He discusses each movement, even listing the instrumentation. Bach's cantatas are at the pinnacle of western classical music. Not only do they give spiritual nourishment to Christians and non-Christians but they are studied the world over by amateur and professional musicians for their penetrating pictorialization, harmonizations, counterpoint and beautiful melodies. They contain great choruses, arias for all types of singers, plus some duets and trios. Whether you are an amateur or serious musician, this book will help you to understand and appreciate these works. Cantatas not discussed in this book are those intended for special occasions such as weddings, funerals, birthdays of prominent persons, civic events such as town council inaugurations, those with secular themes and those originally included in the Bach canon but which modern scholarship has determined not to have been his compositions (de-established). Accordingly, the following cantatas are not discussed: 11, 15 (deest.), 29, 50, 53 (deest), 54, 71, 97, 106, 117, 118, 119, 120, 131, 141 (deest.), 142 (deest.), 150, 160 (deest.), 189 (deest.), 191, 192, 193, 195, 196, 197, 198 and 200-215.

The Church of Baseball: The Making of Bull Durham: Home Runs, Bad Calls, Crazy Fights, Big Swings, and a Hit
by Ron SheltonFrom the award-winning screenwriter and director of cult classic Bull Durham, the extremely entertaining behind-the-scenes story of the making of the film, and an insightful primer on the art and business of moviemaking. &“This book tells you how to make a movie—the whole nine innings of it—out of nothing but sheer will.&” —Tony Gilroy, writer/director of Michael Clayton and The Bourne Legacy&“The only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the church of baseball.&” —Annie in Bull DurhamBull Durham, the breakthrough 1988 film about a minor league baseball team, is widely revered as the best sports movie of all time. But back in 1987, Ron Shelton was a first-time director and no one was willing to finance a movie about baseball—especially a story set in the minors. The jury was still out on Kevin Costner&’s leading-man potential, while Susan Sarandon was already a has-been. There were doubts. But something miraculous happened, and The Church of Baseball attempts to capture why. From organizing a baseball camp for the actors and rewriting key scenes while on set, to dealing with a short production schedule and overcoming the challenge of filming the sport, Shelton brings to life the making of this beloved American movie. Shelton explains the rarely revealed ins and outs of moviemaking, from a film&’s inception and financing, screenwriting, casting, the nuts and bolts of directing, the postproduction process, and even through its release. But this is also a book about baseball and its singular romance in the world of sports. Shelton spent six years in the minor leagues before making this film, and his experiences resonate throughout this book. Full of wry humor and insight, The Church of Baseball tells the remarkable story behind an iconic film.
The Church on British Television: From the Coronation to Coronation Street
by Marcus Harmes Meredith Harmes Barbara HarmesThis book will be the first systematic and comprehensive text to analyze the many and contrasting appearances of the Church of England on television. It covers a range of genres and programs including crime drama, science fiction, comedy, including the specific genre of ‘ecclesiastical comedy’, zombie horror and non-fiction broadcasting. Readers interested in church and political history, popular culture, television and broadcasting history, and the social history of modern Britain will find this to be a lively and timely book. Programs that year after year sit enshrined as national favourites (for example Dad’s Army and Midsomer Murders) foreground the Church. From the Queen’s Christmas Message to royal weddings and Coronation Street, the clergy and services of England’s national church abound in television. This book offers detailed analysis of landmark examples of small screen output and raises questions relating to the storytelling strategies of program makers, the way the established Church is delineated, and the transformation over decades of congregations into audiences.

Chushingura: A Puppet Play (Translations from Asian Classics)
by Donald KeeneChushingura (The Treasury of Loyal Retainers), also known as the story of the Forty-Six (or Forty-Seven) Ronin, is the most famous and perenially popular of all Japanese dramas. Written around 1748 as a puppet play, it is now better know in Kabuki performances. In the twentieth century, cinema and television versions have been equally successful. Donald Keene here presents a complete translation of the original text, with notes and an introduction that increase the reader's comprehension and enjoyment of the play. <p><p>The introduction also elucidates the idea of loyalty. This traditional virtue, as exemplified in Chushingura, has never completely lost its hold on audiences, in spite of twentieth-century changes in Japanese society and moral ideas. Moreover, as Professor Keene points out, the excitement, color and violence expressed in the play may be considered the counterpoint to the austere restraint and understatement which are more commonly thought to be "traditionally" Japanese.
The CIA in Hollywood: How the Agency Shapes Film and Television
by Tricia JenkinsAn in-depth study of the CIA’s collaboration with Hollywood since the mid-1990s, and the important and troubling questions it creates.What’s your impression of the CIA? A bumbling agency that can’t protect its own spies? A rogue organization prone to covert operations and assassinations? Or a dedicated public service that advances the interests of the United States? Astute TV and movie viewers may have noticed that the CIA’s image in popular media has spanned this entire range, with a decided shift to more positive portrayals in recent years. But what very few people know is that the Central Intelligence Agency has been actively engaged in shaping the content of film and television, especially since it established an entertainment industry liaison program in the mid-1990s.The CIA in Hollywood offers the first full-scale investigation of the relationship between the Agency and the film and television industries. Tricia Jenkins draws on numerous interviews with the CIA’s public affairs staff, operations officers, and historians, as well as with Hollywood technical consultants, producers, and screenwriters who have worked with the Agency, to uncover the nature of the CIA’s role in Hollywood. In particular, she delves into the Agency’s and its officers’ involvement in the production of The Agency, In the Company of Spies, Alias, The Recruit, The Sum of All Fears, Enemy of the State, Syriana, The Good Shepherd, and more. Her research reveals the significant influence that the CIA now wields in Hollywood and raises important and troubling questions about the ethics and legality of a government agency using popular media to manipulate its public image.“Fascinating, highly readable . . . Overall, Jenkins’s work is fresh and original, and demonstrates sound scholarship. The author has a passion for the topic that translates to vibrant writing. It is also a concise as well as entertaining look at an aspect of the CIA—its media relations with Hollywood—of which little is known. Enthusiastically written and incorporating effective, illustrative case studies, The CIA in Hollywood is definitely recommended to students of film, media relations, the CIA, and U.S. interagency relations.” —H-War

Cider With Roadies

A life lived through music from Stuart's audience with the Beatles (aged 3); his confessions as a pubescent prog rocker; a youthful gymnastic dalliance with northern soul; the radical effects of punk on his politics, homework and trouser dimensions; playing in crap bands and failing to impress girls; writing for the NME by accident; living the sex, drugs (chiefly lager in a plastic glass) and rock and roll lifestyle; discovering the tawdry truth behind the glamour and knowing when to ditch it all for what really matters.From Stuart's four minutes in a leisure centre with MC Hammer to four days in a small van with Napalm Death it's a life-affirming journey through the land where ordinary life and pop come together to make music.
Cien películas que me abrieron la cabeza
by Nicolás Amelio OrtizCien películas que me abrieron la cabeza es el viaje personal al que nos invita Nicolás para compartir su intenso amor por el cine. Una experiencia vital que empezó en la adolescencia, cuando vio Vértigo de Hitchcock por primera vez, y que lo acompaña desde entonces. Lejos de todo canon, este libro no pretende ser la selección de las películas que tenés que ver antes de morir; ni la lista de las que te recomiendan una y otra vez los profesores de cine. Son simplemente cien que a Nico le abrieron un mundo, y más de una vez le partieron la cabeza. En estas páginas concebidas desde la pasión y el desprejuicio total, conviven una de Ingmar Bergman y otra con Jim Carrey; la elegante obra de Luchino Visconti con la de su más sangriento compatriota Dario Argento; obras maestras del cine americano de los 70 con títulos de jóvenes autores que están destinados a romperla en los próximos años. Y alguna menospreciada y monstruosa belleza clase B que un crítico acaso demasiado "serio" no se atrevería a incluir en ninguna lista. No necesitás saber nada de cine para zambullirte en este libro: solo dejarte llevar e hipnotizar; descubrir y discutir. Y estar listo para emprender, como le pasó a Nicolás, un viaje alucinante para toda la vida.

Cincinnati Sound, The
by Randy McnuttFrom 1940 to 1970, Cincinnati overflowed with musical opportunities. Hank Williams recorded his hit "Lovesick Blues." Andy Williams, Rosemary andBetty Clooney, and Doris Day appeared regularly on WLW Radio, which also broadcast Boone County Jamboree. Then came the network television showMidwestern Hayride and stardom for Kenny Price. Meanwhile, King and Fraternity Records released hundreds of hits for James Brown, Hank Ballard and the Midnighters, Cowboy Copas, Lonnie Mack, and the Casinos. In the late 1960s, the Lemon Pipers sang "Green Tambourine," and rock bands ruled Coney Island's Moonlite Gardens. It was a wild, incredible ride while it lasted, and it left such an indelible impression that today Cincinnati is remembered as one of America's top music capitals.

Cincinnati Theaters (Images of America)
by Douglas R. Weise Steven J. Rolfes Phil LindTheaters have always been the places where memories are made. There, on Saturday afternoons, children could escape the pressures of growing up to live for two hours in a fantasy world of daring heroes, dastardly villains, and dazzling magic. They were the places where awkward teenage boys could nervously, and often clumsily, put their arms around equally nervous girls. In years past, every neighborhood had its own local theater. Downtown was home to the great movie palaces, ornate portals to a world of motion picture thrills. For a unique experience, nothing could beat a hot summer night at the drive-in. Today, in the era of the corporate multiplex, the great movie palaces are just memories. Some neighborhood cinemas are now churches or venues for meetings, wedding receptions, and small concerts. Images of America: Cincinnati Theaters looks back at these marvelous old theaters and the days when they were in their prime.
El cine de Carlos Fuentes
by Iván Ríos Gascón«Es muy probable que al escribir, jamás dejó de pensar en la pantalla como una de las formas más acabadas del arte y como un lujo de la inspiración» Para Carlos Fuentes, el cine fue una de sus pasiones más intensas. Una disciplina que abordó como crítico, teórico y en la que, incluso, incursionó como guionista, al tiempo que consolidaba su carrera literaria. Entre la crónica y el ensayo, este libro explora la relación del cine con su narrativa con el fin de desentrañar las inquietudes y certezas de la voluntad creadora. El cine de Carlos Fuentes nos lleva a recorrer los caminos literarios y las claves estéticas que el autor de Aura plasmó en sus cuentos y novelas, incluyendo la mirada de los cineastas que trasladaron sus obras al celuloide.
