Bits and Pieces: My Mother, My Brother, and Me
by Whoopi GoldbergFrom multi-award winner, Whoopi Goldberg comes a new and unique memoir of her family and their influence on her early life. If it weren't for Emma Johnson, Caryn Johnson would have never become Whoopi Goldberg. Emma gave her children the loving care and wisdom they needed to succeed in life, always encouraging them to be true to themselves. When Whoopi lost her mother in 2010--and then her older brother, Clyde, five years later--she felt deeply alone; the only people who truly knew her were gone. Emma raised her children not just to survive, but to thrive. In this intimate and heartfelt memoir, Whoopi shares many of the deeply personal stories of their lives together for the first time. Growing up in the projects in New York City, there were trips to Coney Island, the Ice Capades, and museums, and every Christmas was a magical experience. To this day, she doesn't know how her mother was able to give them such an enriching childhood, despite the struggles they faced--and it wasn't until she was well into adulthood that Whoopi learned just how traumatic some of those struggles were. Fans of personal memoirs such as Finding Me by Viola Davis and In Pieces by Sally Field will be touched by Bits and Pieces: a moving tribute from a daughter to her mother, and a beautiful portrait of three people who loved each other deeply. Whoopi writes, "Not everybody gets to walk this earth with folks who let you be exactly who you are and who give you the confidence to become exactly who you want to be. So, I thought I'd share mine with you."

Irrepetibles: Entrevistas en Planetario
by Alejandro FerreiroHubo una vez un programa de radio cuyo influjo fue irresistible. Un programa cuyo sonido viajaba y se propagaba por el aire hospedando a un jardín de oyentes que estaban unidos por vínculos secretos. Ese programa se llamó Planetario.

Algunos de ellos ya no están con nosotros. Este libro recupera sus ideas, su particular mirada, trasvasando la oralidad en palabra escrita. Pero Alejandro logra también comunicar el clima que se vivió en cada uno de esos encuentros, la atmósfera que rodeó aquellas conversaciones. Mario Levrero (Jorge Varlotta), Abel Carlevaro, Marosa di Giorgio, Alfredo Testoni, Lágrima Ríos y Gustavo PríncipePena pasan por estas páginas dejando su estela, y la experiencia de la lectura nos devuelve el color de aquellas noches de radio.Como dice el autor: “Irrepetibles los entrevistados, aquellos momentos, aquellas horas de radio. Irrepetibles, y eso es lo mejor”.

Anna May Wong: From Laundryman's Daughter to Hollywood Legend
by Graham HodgesAnna May Wong was the best known Chinese American actress during Hollywood's golden age, a free spirit and embodiment of the flapper era much like Louise Brooks. She starred in over fifty movies between 1919 and 1960, sharing the screen with such luminaries as Douglas Fairbanks Sr. and Marlene Dietrich. Born in Los Angeles in 1905, Wong was the second daughter of six children born to a laundryman and his wife. Obsessed with film at a young age, she managed to secure a small part in a 1919 drama about the Boxer Rebellion. Her most famous film roles were in "The Thief of Baghdad", "Old San Francisco", and "Shanghai Express" opposite Dietrich. Despite these successes, instances of overt racism plagued Wong's career. When it came time to make a film version of Pearl Buck's "The Good Earth", she was passed over for the German actress, Luise Rainer. In a narrative that recalls both the gritty life in Los Angeles' working-class Chinese neighborhoods and the glamor of Hollywood at its peak, Graham Hodges recounts the life of this elegant, beautiful, and underappreciated screen legend.

The Pusan International Film Festival, South Korean Cinema and Globalization
by Soojeong AhnThis book provides a political and cultural exploration of the Pusan International Film Festival in South Korea since its inception in 1996. By paying a particular attention to the organizers' use of an Asian regionalization strategy, SooJeong Ahn reveals how the festival staked out a unique and influential position within a rapidly changing global landscape. Very little primary empirical research has been conducted to date on non-Western film festivals, though PIFF and Tokyo and Hong Kong have swiftly grown more exciting and influential as testing grounds for global cinema innovations. The initiation, development and growth of PIFF should be understood as resulting from productive tensions in the festival's efforts to serve local, regional and national constituencies. The book also reflects the complexities of rapid transformation in the South Korean film industry as it has reached out to the global market since the late 1990s. SooJeong Ahn worked for the Pusan International Film Festival between 1998 and 2002 and has completed a Ph. D. on film festivals at the University of Nottingham. Her recent publications include "Re-imagining the Past: Programming South Korean Retrospectives at PIFF," in Film International (Vol. 6, 2008), "Placing South Korean Cinema into Pusan International Film Festival: Programming Strategy in the Global/Local Context," in What a Difference a Region Makes: Cultural Studies and Cultural Industries in North-East Asia (2009); "Re-mapping Asian Cinema: The Tenth Anniversary of PIFF in 2005" in Cinemas, Identities and Beyond (2010). "In only a decade, the Pusan International Film Festival has gone from its first edition to becoming not only the leading film festival in East Asia, but also one of the world's most important. SooJeong Ahn tells this exciting story for the first time in her groundbreaking book. Her detailed analysis of the reasons for PIFF's success and the direction it has taken is full of fascinating insight and pioneers a new direction in East Asian Cinema Studies. " -- Chris Berry, Goldsmiths, University of London "Ahn's work on the Pusan International Film Festival is the first and the definitive scholarly monograph appearing in English on this key film festival in the East Asian region. With hands-on knowledge and through extensive interviews, Ahn illuminates the dynamics of the national, the regional and the global. Like the great films shown at the festival, this book is not to be missed!"-- Jinhee Choi, King's College London
Japanese Cinema Goes Global
by Yoshiharu TezukaJapan's film industry has gone through dramatic changes in recent decades, as international consumer forces and transnational talent have brought unprecedented engagement with global trends. With careful research and also unique first-person observations drawn from years of working within the international industry of Japanese film, the author aims to examine how different generations of Japanese filmmakers engaged and interacted with the structural opportunities and limitations posed by external forces, and how their subjectivity has been shaped by their transnational experiences and has changed as a result. Having been through the globalization of the last part of the twentieth century, are Japanese themselves and overseas consumers of Japanese culture really becoming more cosmopolitan? If so, what does it mean for Japan's national culture and the traditional sense of national belonging among Japanese people?
