A Bollywood State of Mind
Like all Indians, Sunny Singh was born and brought up in a country of film fanatics. She and her friends waited impatiently for the latest releases, listened to the songs on radio and wore clothes inspired by those seen on screen. They learned about India and the world, determined their enemies and friends, and chose their moralities thanks to films.
A Bollywood State of Mind is a personal, intellectual and emotional journey which crosses five continents and 50 years of modern Indian history and cinema and explores why Bollywood means so much to so many across the globe. Sunny describes how this exceptional cinema retains its hold on the national imagination, how Bollywood has enhanced India's global standing in the 21st century, and how its characteristics endure despite the social and political changes.
Ranging over history, aesthetic theory and politics, A Bollywood State of Mind explores encounters with Bollywood in the market places of Dakar and Marrakesh, in the nightclubs of New York, Barcelona and Mexico City, and in the ruins of Egypt's Valley of the Kings, Petra and beyond. It shows how the pioneers and heroes of Bollywood cut across national, linguistic and cultural lines not only in India but in far reaches of Somalia, Peru, Malaysia and Russia.
1001 Movie Posters
Steeped in nostalgia, this beautiful, diverse and definitive collection features posters from over 20 countries with work by over 150 art directors and illustrators
The most comprehensive overview of movie posters ever published, 1001 Movie Posters is a definitive coffee-table volume from world authority on the art form, Tony Nourmand. Spanning more than a century of global imagery, the book celebrates the most arresting, aesthetically powerful examples of the genre, including a number of posters that have never been published before.
There has always been a raw immediacy to film posters: provoking and enticing, shocking and seducing audiences across the threshold of the movie theater. The artists tasked with communicating that have been at the forefront of design: groundbreaking visionaries such as Saul Bass and Paul Rand; Eastern European artists using poetic, surreal and often disturbing imagery in highly original and subversive concepts. Other poster artists have woven contemporaneous movements in art and popular culture into their designs, creating a time capsule of the obsessions and concerns of a different era.
Iconic posters for films such as Metropolis, The Man with the Golden Arm, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Goldfinger sit alongside more unexpected and lesser-known artwork for films such as 2001, Star Wars, Taxi Driver and The Birds. Nearly all cinematic movements are included, from early silent masterpieces through German Expressionism, film noir of the 1940s, 1950s science fiction, the psychedelic imagery of the 1960s, the gritty violence and retribution of the 1970s and 1980s, and then onward into the 21st century, where the stripped-back graphics nod back to the Bass minimalism of the 1950s.
An extraordinary visual compendium, 1001 Movie Posters is the final word on movie posters and a must for film lovers and anyone interested in the power of advertising and design.
Adventures in Animation
Triple-Oscar-winning, world-renowned animator - and author of the seminal book The Animator's Survival Kit - Richard Williams' legendary career in the world of animation is brought to the page here for the first time.
Written with his wife and collaborator, Imogen Sutton, Adventures in Animation follows the life and career of this pivotal figure in animated features, from the influential moment when, aged five, Williams saw Snow White, right through his career of more than sixty years. Over those decades, Williams created full-length features, short films, title sequences for films and hundreds of commercials - all of which were graced by his characteristically elegant, sinuous lines and magnificent imagination. Williams' place in animation history is assured: he directed the Academy Award-winning 1971 adaptation of A Christmas Carol and perhaps most famously worked as Director of Animation on Who Framed Roger Rabbit, for which he won two Academy Awards. Serving as the linkman between the original creators of the world of Disney (Snow White, Dumbo, The Jungle Book) and the current generation of digital animators (Toy Story, The Incredibles and Ice Age), it is fair to say that his like will not be seen again.
Williams' first book, The Animator's Survival Kit, and the masterclasses he ran, saw him pass on his hard-won craft to future generations of animators. In Adventures in Animation, the story of the man behind the images will inspire them all over again, bringing more animators and fans of animation to the life and work of this master of the artform.
Strong Female Character
The leading film critic of her generation offers an eloquent, insightful and humorous reflection on the screen’s representation of women and ethnic minorities, revealing how cinema has been the key to understanding herself, her body image and her ambitions as well as the world we live in.
A staunch feminist of mixed-race heritage, Hanna has succeeded in an industry not designed for people like her. She interweaves anecdotes from familial and personal experiences – from episodes of messy sex and introspection to the time when actor Vincent D’Onofrio tweeted that Hanna Flint sounded ‘like a secret agent’ – to offer a critical eye on the screen’s representation of women and ethnic minorities. Divided into sections ‘Origin Story’, ‘Coming of Age’, ‘Adult Material’, ‘Workplace Drama’ and ‘Strong Female Character’, the book ponders how the creative industries could better reflect our multicultural society.
Warm, funny and engaging and full of film-infused lessons, Strong Female Character will appeal to readers of all backgrounds and seeks to help us better see ourselves in our own eyes rather than letting others decide who and what we can be.

Feeding the Monster
Zombies want brains. Vampires want blood. Cannibals want human flesh. All monsters need feeding.
Horror has been embraced by mainstream pop culture more than ever before, with horror characters and aesthetics infecting TV, music videos and even TikTok trends. Yet even with the commercial and critical success of The Babadook, Hereditary, Get Out, The Haunting of Hill House, Yellowjackets and countless other horror films and TV series over the last few years, loving the genre still prompts the question: what's wrong with you? Implying, of course, that there is something not quite right about the people who make and consume it. In Feeding the Monster, Anna Bogutskaya dispels this notion once and for all by examining how horror responds to and fuels our feelings of fear, anxiety, pain, hunger and power.
LIFE. Hollywood
In November 1936, publisher Henry R. Luce launched Life as a photo-led weekly news magazine with a clear purpose: “To see life; to see the world; to eyewitness great events.” Before readers’ attention was consumed by television, Life served as their window to the world, and by the late 1940s, it was being viewed by 1 in 3 Americans. Jean Harlow was the first movie star to appear on a Life cover in 1937, and from then until 1972 over 200 covers featured Hollywood-related subjects, illustrating the strength of the bond between Life and the film industry.
Matching the splendor of the finest Hollywood production, this two-volume epic blockbuster tells the intertwined story of a magazine and an art form that embodied the pinnacle of American imagination. Meticulously researched and curated, it features over 600 images from the magazine’s archives—well over half previously unseen—and stars icons such as Bette Davis, Elizabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando, Clark Gable, Steve McQueen, Sophia Loren, Alfred Hitchcock, Sidney Poitier, Paul Newman, Jane Fonda, Brigitte Bardot and many more. Life had special access to these celebrities following them on set, to extravagant parties, Oscar nights and at home, providing readers with intimate glimpses of their lives away from the spotlight.
Volume 1 (1936-1950s) covers the Golden Age of Hollywood: dashing leading men, glamorous starlets, powerful studio moguls, and opulent lifestyles. Witness how Life didn’t just indulge fantasy, but also documented the inner workings of the industry and the collective effort that went into creating the illusions on the screen, from screenwriters and composers to publicists and acting coaches. Volume 2 (1950s-1972) focuses on the New Hollywood, in which major studios gradually lost their stronghold, marked by a shift toward independent films, international stars, and a more diverse array of voices and faces. See how Life reported from the sets of classic movies such as The Godfather, Guys and Dolls, and The Ten Commandments;¬ and with the aid of exclusive editorial materials like contact sheets, tear sheets from the stories, and internal editorial notes, we learn how Life planned and framed their innovative photo-essays.
Featuring introductory texts by photography critic Lucy Sante, captions by film historian Justin Humphreys, and over 70 legendary Life photographers such as Alfred Eisenstaedt, Peter Stackpole, Gordon Parks, Lisa Larsen, Margaret Bourke-White, Gjon Mili, and many others, Life. Hollywood is a celebration of the 20th century’s most important photography magazine and the irresistible allure of Hollywood and movie magnificence.

With over 500 pieces of concept art from Diablo Immortal, Diablo II: Resurrected, and Diablo IV, this incomparable volume showcases the next collection of choice artwork developed to frighten and delight horror fans everywhere.
God and the Devil
A chronicle of the life and career of one of film's defining figures, God and the Devil draws on exclusive extracts from Bergman's diaries, letters and production workbooks. Peter Cowie brings us close to the man and the artist, as he wrestled with themes of love, sex and betrayal - with the figure of Death always hovering overhead.
Jolly Roger na stříbrném plátně 2
Filmová encyklopedie filmů o pirátech z let 1961-1990, během nichž plátnům kin, ale také stále víc televizním obrazovkám vévodili Tygři sedmi moří, Nezkrotná Angelika, Ostrovy pokladů, Tygři z Mompracemu nebo Černí korzáři a herecké hvězdy jako Gerard Barray, Michele Mercierová, Kabir Bedi, Yul Brynner, Robert Shaw nebo Charlton Heston a o slovo se hlásili také mezihvězdní piráti v hrané i animované podobě jako kapitán ze Zanaku nebo kapitán Harlock.
Jižanská gotika v současných televizních seriálech
Lokální traumata, násilí, groteskní postavy a nehostinná krajina. Seriály jako American Gothic, True Detective nebo Ostré předměty se těší značné oblibě a v mnoha případech se na čas staly vlajkovou lodí nabídky streamovacích služeb. Monografie výzkumného týmu FAMU (Veronika Klusáková, Martin Charvát, Sara Pinheiro a Petr Pláteník) se věnuje gotickým projevům v seriálech současné televize zasazených do oblasti jihu Spojených států. Americký Jih je s žánrem „gothic“ spjat již od 19. století a skrze tzv. gotický proud v literatuře od 30. let dvacátého století formuje jak vnímání tematických konstant a estetických strategií žánru, tak politické geografie a kultury Jihu jako takového. V souvislosti s rozmachem quality TV došlo k „migraci“ gotické senzibility do seriálových narativů, jejichž analýza je předmětem této knihy.
The Last Action Heroes
From the editor of Empire magazine, this is the behind-the-scenes story of the golden age of the action movie, the stars who ruled 80s and 90s Hollywood and the beloved films – from Die Hard to The Terminator – that made them famous.
Charting Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s carnage-packed journey from enmity to friendship against the backdrop of Reagan’s America and the Cold War. It also reveals the untold stories of the colourful characters, from Steven Seagal to Bruce Willis, who ascended in their wake. These invincible action heroes used muscle, martial arts or the perfect weapon to save the day, becoming pop-culture titans.
Drawing on candid interviews with the action stars themselves, plus their collaborators, friends and foes, The Last Action Heroes chronicles how, as the 1990s rolled in, the glory days of these macho men began to fade, but how the mayhem they wrought on screen and off excites us still.

Máme svoj film! Slovenská filmová kultúra a propaganda 1939 – 1945
Publikácia Máme svoj film! Slovenská filmová kultúra a propaganda 1939 – 1945 je prvou samostatnou monografiou venovanou domácej filmovej kultúre v období Slovenského štátu. Film skúma v širšom kultúrnom i recepčnom rámci. Nevenuje sa len filmom a ich tvorcom, ale aj inštitucionálnemu zázemiu filmu, propagande a cenzúre, skladbe a podmienkam kinoprojekcie, diváctvu či marketingovým politikám. Aj vzhľadom na to, že konečným produktom tohto obdobia ešte nie je dlhometrážna produkcia – teda to, čo obyčajne tvorí „chrbtovú kosť“ národnej kinematografie, bolo treba záujmy i nástroje ich (s)poznávania rozšíriť do interdisciplinárnych polí. Práve preto by kniha mohla byť zaujímavá aj pre širšie čitateľstvo.

Ukazují nám dokumenty pravdu, nebo je to jen jiná, možná jen věrohodnější podoba iluze? Jsme ochotni přijímat filmové záznamy jako pravdivé obrazy? Může dokument lhát? Kde je hranice mezi pravdou a lží, uměním a propagandou, realitou a fake news? Fischerovy úvahy jsou zároveň pestrým příběhem ? jakou cestou prošel filmový dokument za sto let svých dějin právě od Flahertyho Nanuka (1922).

Král monster!
Tato kniha vstupuje do ustaveného pole filmové historie s formální analýzou prvních šesti filmů s Godzillou, jež produkovalo studio Toho v letech 1954 až 1965. Skrze nástroje poetiky fikce odpovídá na otázku, jak mohla tato kaiju série být pro diváky stále lákavá. Hlavní argument knihy pak spočívá v dialektickém vztahu mezi narativní a stylistickou kontinuitou a diskontinuitou. Určité aspekty zůstávaly nezměněny, jiné se transformovaly či variovaly. Lákavost série tak nevzešla pouze z rvaček velkých monster, ale rovněž z kulturní asimilace populárních žánrů, zahraničních vlivů, témat a narativních vzorců.

Lucasovy války, příběh nezdolného vizionáře, zázračného dítěte tzv. nového Hollywoodu, jsou pečlivě zdokumentované a věrné historickým reáliím. Mimořádný pohled do zákulisí natáčení Star Wars, od pekla castingů až po noční můry při natáčení, kde jsou na denním pořádku sváry mezi herci, tajné milostné aférky a nejrůznější katastrofy. Ze všeho zmatku ovšem vzešlo zásadní dílo, které navždy změnilo filmový svět. Lucasovy války jsou intenzivním, dojemným, ale také nesmírně zábavným vyprávěním o úskalí tvorby. Vzrušující příběh o úspěchu a lekce z filmařiny, óda na kouzlo dětství a na vytrvalost.
Scarlett
A Scarlett igazi főszereplője nem más, mint az örök klasszikusként számontartott Elfújta a szél című regényből készült film.
Annak idején már a kiadó is hatalmas kockázatot vállalt azzal, hogy megjelentette egy Margaret Mitchell nevű, tökéletesen ismeretlen író hatalmas terjedelmű regényét, azt viszont, amire David O. Selznick filmproducer vállalkozott, mindenki őrültségnek gondolta. Azt vette a fejébe, hogy filmre viszi a művet, annak ellenére, hogy pontosan tudta, hogy hihetetlen mennyiségű pénzbe és energiába fog kerülni. Díszletek, jelmezek, színészek százaira lesz szüksége ahhoz, hogy elkészüljön a több mint három és fél órás, addig sohasem látott hosszúságú film.
Az Álomgyár történetében addig senki sem vállalkozott ilyen nagyszabású produkcióra.
És úgy is történt minden, ahogy előre elképzelte: az őrület volt maga. Gyötrelmes és füstös, karikás szemű káosz, szerelem, árulás és ármány, a folyamatosan fenyegető összeomlás rémülete és végül persze a csoda, a varázslat, ami mindent megér és amire csak a film képes: a megelevenedő világok, korok és emberek csodája.
Gondoljunk akár a költségvetésére, akár a forgatás szakmai kihívásaira, akár a filmet övező hatalmas elvárásra és hisztérikus hangulatra vagy a későbbi tomboló világsikerre és a tíz Oscar-díjra: az Elfújta a szél a "leg"-ek mozija volt és maradt azóta is.
François-Guillaume Lorrain nemcsak egyetlen filmnek, hanem Hollywood egész aranykorának és halhatatlan figuráinak állít emléket ebben a bölcsen szellemes és melengetően emberi regényben.
