Wim Wenders: Instant Stories by Patti Smith; Sam Shephard; Wim Wenders

$75.00 AUD

Category: Film

As well as being an acclaimed filmmaker and a member of the New German Cinema movement, Wim Wenders (b. 1945) has also made an international name for himself as a photographer, with shows all over the world. While previous exhibitions have focused on his large-format colour photography, he now opens a t reasure chest of Polaroids taken during the 1970s and 1980s, to accompany an exhibition at the Photographers' Gallery, London. Here are portraits of friends, actors and personal heroes; souvenirs of places and events from the life of a young travelling filmmaker; impressions of his first trips to the US, shots of movie icons on American TV screens, the cinemas of provincial Germany in the 1970s, and much more. The adventure of shooting films around the world becomes an almanac of adventure, curiosity and tranquillity. Wenders's instant photographs are interwoven with his own stories, memories and flights of fancy that weave the images into an intimate and poetic journey. Instant Stories is a photographic road movie of the director's early years, as he rose to global fame with films such as The Scarlet Letter, Alice in the Cities, Wrong Move, Kings of the Road, and The American Friend. ...Show more

Un Chien Andalou by Luis Buñuel; Salvador Dalí; Luis Bunuel

$29.95 AUD

Category: Film

Un Chien Andalou, the most influential of all surrealist films, has shocked, provoked and puzzled audiences and critics since its release in 1929. Luis Bunuel's first film was a collaboration with his fellow Spaniard, the 24-year-old Salvador Dali. They aimed to expunge from their script any 'idea or i mage that might lend itself to a rational explanation'. The result is a film that alludes and disturbs but stubbornly resists a definitive meaning. This edition includes a foreword by Jean Vigo, an early champion of the film, a shot-by-shot transcription and an extended introduction by Phillip Drummond. ...Show more

Robert Beavers by Rebekah Rutkoff (Editor)

$58.99 AUD

Category: Film | Series: FilmmuseumSynemaPublications Ser.

In a career spanning five decades, Robert Beavers has distinguished himself as one of the most important American avant-garde filmmakers. From My Hand Outstretched to the Winged Distance and Sightless Measure, his cycle of 18 films made across Europe since 1967, to Pitcher of Colored Light (2007) and Th e Suppliant (2010), intimate portraits shot in the U.S., Beavers has produced a deeply original film language framed by his use of colored filters and mattes. His investigations of the handwork of anonymous artisans complement his dialogues with Ruskin, Leonardo, and Borromini in Ruskin (1975/1997), From the Notebook of... (1971/1998), and The Hedge Theater (1986/2002). This volume contains critical investigations of Beavers' most important films and a collection of the filmmaker's own writings. Occupying a unique space between poetry and philosophy, his aphoristic meditations vivify his own work and generously illuminate the art of film. ...Show more

The Intervals of Cinema by Jacques Ranciere

$24.99 AUD

Category: Film

Cinema, like language, can be said to exist as a system of differences. In his latest book, acclaimed philosopher Jacques Ranci re looks at cinematic art in comparison to its corollary forms in literature and theatre. From literature, he argues, cinema takes its narrative conventions, while at the same time effacing literature's images and philosophy; and film rejects theatre, while also fulfilling theatre's dream. Built on these contradictions, the cinema is the real, material space in which one is moved by the spectacle of shadows. Thus, for Ranci re, film is the perpetually disappointed dream of a language of images. ...Show more
