Toward a More Perfect Rebellion


Toward a More Perfect Rebellion tells the riveting story of the socially engaged filmmakers of color who studied in the Ethno-Communications Program at the University of California, Los Angeles, between 1969 and 1973. While the program is best known for training the trailblazing group of Black directors known as the L.A. Rebellion, this book also includes the radical Asian American, Chicana/o, and Native American filmmakers who collaborated alongside their Black classmates to create one of the most expansive and groundbreaking bodies of work of any US university cohort. Through extensive interviews with the filmmakers and cross-racial analysis of their collective filmography, Josslyn Jeanine Luckett sheds light on a largely untold history of media activists working outside Hollywood yet firmly rooted in Los Angeles, aiming their cameras with urgency and tenderness to capture their communities' stories of power, struggle, and improvisational brilliance.

The Rambo Report


From the beginning, Rambo was more than a character in a 1972 novel by David Morrell. He was the culmination of the author''s personal encounters with veterans returning from the Vietnam War. The 1982 movie adaptation of First Blood reflected the novel''s powerful insights into a troubled veteran''s post-war experience. Then in 1985, the film''s explosive sequel Rambo: First Blood Part II transformed the character into something shockingly different. With a focus on blood-and-guts action and the beefed-up muscles of Sylvester Stallone - Rambo became an invincible one-man army. A new kind of hero for a new day in America. A full-blown pop-culture icon as controversial as he was crowd-pleasing - blasting his way through the most influential action film franchise in Hollywood history... The Rambo legend was born. Five feature films. Three novels. Seven video games. Countless comic books, action figures, and even an animated TV show for kids. The Rambo machine has been as unstoppable as Rambo himself. Now for the first time, Hollywood insider Nat Segaloff digs deep into the man, the myth, and the massive impact of the phenomenon known as ''The Rambo Effect.'' Packed with behind-the-scenes anecdotes, sharp cultural insights, and ongoing debates about violence in the media, this is an explosive no-holds-barred report from the front lines of Hollywood myth-making.

The Passion of Pedro Almodovar


The films of Pedro Almodóvar teem with characters who at once are and are not alter egos of the director. In film after film, the Spanish auteur mines his past for alternative selves, telling and retelling formative stories from his own life, plumbing the depths of his memory while exploring other lives he might have led. What can Almodóvar’s work tell us about the quest for self-knowledge—for understanding who we are and who we might yet becom? ames Miller considers seven of Almodóvar’s most personal films, arguing that together they offer a revealing self-portrait of the director and his search for meaning. Beginning with Volver, Miller traces Almodóvar’s signature obsessions backward and forward through the director’s filmography. Deeply shaped by the counterculture of the 1960s—which arrived belatedly in Franco’s Spain—Almodóvar has long been fascinated by the exhilarating power and devastating limitations of artistic and sexual transgression. In rich readings, Miller shows how Almodóvar tests the blurry line between fiction and reality, the bounds of individual freedom, and the durability of a sense of self. In so doing, the director turns cinema into a form of philosophical investigation and self-exploration. A keenly observed, masterfully written portrait of one of world cinema’s greatest creative forces, The Passion of Pedro Almodóvar finds in film new ways to tell the story of a life.

Impresionisté: Jejich životní příběhy, 3. vydání


Manet, Monet, Pissarro, Cézanne, Renoir, Degas, Sisley, Berthe Morisot a Mary Cassatt – dnes jsou tato jména legendami a jejich obrazy patří k nejdražším na světě. Ale za těmito oslnivými plátny se skrývaly životy plné skandálů, bojů a vášně. Byli to rebelové, kteří šokovali veřejnost svými malbami pradlen, tanečnic a jarních zahrad. Tvořili v době, kdy Paříž procházela velkolepou přestavbou pod vedením barona Haussmanna, a sami prožívali proměny stejně dramatické jako jejich umění. Sue Roe nás zavádí do ateliérů, kaváren a nočních barů, kde se rodila revoluce v umění i v osobním životě. Přátelství se mísilo se soupeřením, vášně s tragédiemi a úspěchy s naprostým odmítnutím. Po prusko-francouzské válce se snažili znovu postavit na nohy, drželi při sobě, hádali se, smáli i trpěli. Tento fascinující, intimní příběh odhaluje impresionisty nejen jako génie se štětcem v ruce, ale i jako milence, odpadlíky, vizionáře – a hříšníky, kteří změnili dějiny umění.

Prázdné domy - obytné a industriální


V již třetím díle knihy o prázdných, ale zajímavých domech se vydáme na další cestu za fascinujícími místy, která se mi podařilo navštívit a zdokumentovat. Tentokrát se zaměříme na obytné objekty, tedy vily, zámky a paláce, ale také na budovy, které dříve sloužily veřejnosti – od průmyslových staveb po kulturní centra. Příběhy těchto domů se neustále vyvíjejí, a zatímco některé z nich se stále nacházejí v dezolátním stavu, jiné už prošly rekonstrukcí a znovu ožily. Příkladem je zámek Nová Včelnice, který se prodával ve zcela zchátralé podobě – dokonce natolik, že se jeho správce propadl podlahou. V této knize naleznete unikátní fotografie zachycující proměnu těchto míst před a po rekonstrukci. Kniha přináší zkrátka to nejlepší z databáze prázdných domů, doplněné o časové osy a bohatou fotodokumentaci.

Ukrainian Modernism


Ukraine's overlooked modernist buildings are under threat from development, decommunization and war. Photographer Dmytro Soloviov has crossed Ukraine documenting them to form the most comprehensive publication available on the subject. What does Ukrainian Modernist architecture look like and why isn't it better-known in the west? Photographer and architectural tour guide Dmytro Soloviov is fighting to preserve the disappearing modernist heritage of his native Ukraine. These innovative buildings are an extraordinary blend of function, avant-garde aesthetics and ingenious design, but despite these qualities, they remain largely unrecognised. This is a result of several factors, including the stigma of belonging to the Soviet era, corruption, neglect, as well as the ongoing threat of destruction from both unscrupulous developers and war. From masterpieces such as the Kyiv Crematorium and Salut Hotel, to previously undocumented examples like the Uzhhorod Airport Terminal and the Novoarkhanhelsk Police Station, Soloviov has traversed Ukraine photographing the exteriors and interiors of these important buildings and their monumental art (mosaics, stained glass and sculptures). While the nation's attention is consumed by more existential matters, he has documented the unique identity of one of the least catalogued periods of Soviet architecture, his images forming a singular record of an unexpected and rapidly disappearing legacy. An introduction by renowned architecture critic Owen Hatherley, complete with historical images, cements these buildings in a cultural and political context. With over 120 examples across 240 pages, this publication is the most comprehensive available on the subject.

Rainer W. Schlegelmilch. Porsche Racing Moments


In 1962, Rainer W. Schlegelmilch had his first experience of motorsport – the 1,000 km at the Nürburgring – and it was this that sparked a lifelong passion for both Porsche and racing that still burns today. Beginning in 1963, this wholly captivating collection of breathtaking shots transports you to another time and another world, taking you on a journey through the history of Porsche endurance racing, from Le Mans to Monza, via the Targa Florio and Spa-Francorchamps. And with his own words accompanying the pictures, Schlegelmilch shows and tells fascinating stories from track and trackside. Naturally, the cars are the heroes of this book – there’s a genuine love of Porsche cars on these pages, a real admiration in pictures for each evolution of the legendary designs. From the purpose-built prototypes of the mid-60s – the 550, 718, RS and RSK models – followed by the more powerful 907 and 908, and through to arguably the most iconic racing car designs of all time, the 917, the 962 and of course the ageless 911, this is Schlegelmilch’s pictorial love letter to his own "Porsche Racing Moments". He pays tribute to each of them with his unique zoom technique, that converts the movement and phenomenal speed of the racing cars into a totally absorbing and almost dizzying feast of depth and energy. Whether it’s in black and white or colour, it’s as if you can feel the rush of air on your face as the cars speed by. But while this book is perfect for those who live and breathe Porsche, there’s more to it than the cars. From the shots of experienced teams to the drivers deep in conversation, from the greasy hands of the mechanics tinkering under the hood to the stained and cracked track, Schlegelmilch takes you to the real racing world, behind the glamour and into the dusty, oil-scented universe of motorsport.

All-American Ads of the 2000s


Post-9/11, America’s sense of invincibility was shaken. The dotcom bubble had burst, there was war with Iraq, and eco-angst was becoming mainstream, as evidenced by impressive sales of the Toyota Prius. For escapism, self-expression, and even romantic connection, America turned to tech. Geeks were the new superheroes, and the iPod and iPhone reigned supreme, both commercially and creatively. Social media began its unstoppable rise, with MySpace and Facebook pushing brands to get more interactive with consumers. Prestige dramas—The Sopranos, Mad Men, and Breaking Bad—populated the small screen, while Netflix swapped mailing DVDs for streaming content, the reality TV star was born, and Paris Hilton decreed, “That’s hot!”. Amazon and eBay threatened the cultural centrality of the shopping mall, and every famous name from Michael Jordan to Madonna could be found on scotch, sneakers, and scents. Health and wellness fueled the growth of brands like Whole Foods and Lululemon, and consumers increasingly valued experiences, ethics, and personalization. Featuring 10 chapters covering the full range of advertising, from food and fashion to entertainment, business, travel, and automobiles—with special mentions for the worst as well as the best—All-American Ads of the 2000s captures a time when ads still had the power to sell products and dreams in the millions, but mirrored a nation in the midst of profound transition.
