Summary:
« J’essaie peut-être de dire une chose impossible : être où je ne suis pas, parler avec les morts, aimer une inconnue. J’essaie, penché sur l’image, de fixer le point où la fiction prend corps. Des histoires liées à la photographie, au cinéma, à des images qui hantent la mémoire ; des récits en train de s’écrire, des enquêtes en train d’être menées, des scènes en train(...)

« J’essaie peut-être de dire une chose impossible : être où je ne suis pas, parler avec les morts, aimer une inconnue. J’essaie, penché sur l’image, de fixer le point où la fiction prend corps. Des histoires liées à la photographie, au cinéma, à des images qui hantent la mémoire ; des récits en train de s’écrire, des enquêtes en train d’être menées, des scènes en train de se filmer ; des études de cas : Antonioni, Gus Van Sant, Chris Marker, Giacometti, Stendhal, Duras… Au fond de toute image, de tout récit, il s’agit avant tout de saisir l’absence, d’écrire la disparition. » Bertrand Schefer.

Summary:
Studios are, at once, material environments and symbolic forms, sites of artistic creation and physical labor, and nodes in networks of resource circulation. They are architectural places that generate virtual spaces—worlds built to build worlds. On the outside, they have become icons of corporate identity, while on the inside, they have remained invisible in order to be(...)

Summary:
Studios are, at once, material environments and symbolic forms, sites of artistic creation and physical labor, and nodes in networks of resource circulation. They are architectural places that generate virtual spaces—worlds built to build worlds. On the outside, they have become icons of corporate identity, while on the inside, they have remained invisible in order to be seen. As such, they have actively faded into the background of critical discourse and into the margins of film and media history. Recovering their hidden role in the history of visual creation, ''In the studio'' demonstrates that when we foreground these worlds, we gain new insights into moving-image culture and the material, ecological, social, political, and economic dynamics that quietly mark the worlds on our screens.

Summary:
A conversation about design, filmmaking, Afrofuturism, world-building, and other topics with Hannah Beachler, Academy-Award-winning production designer of "Black Panther". Hannah Beachler is known as an award-winning production designer, but she tells an audience that she considers herself to be more of a story designer. As film stills and concept art from a few of those stories--"Moonlight", "Miles Ahead", "Creed", "Lemonade", and "Black Panther"--flash across a screen, Beachler engages in a meandering conversation with Jacqueline Stewart and Toni L. Griffin about set building and curation, urban design, location scouting, Afrofuturism, fictional histories, and Black feminist narratives, and illustrates her role: a designer behind on-screen tableaux that provide not only visual feasts of artistry and imagination, but also intimate spaces of emotion, humanity, and constructed memory.

Summary:
By 1915, Hollywood had become the epicenter of American filmmaking, with studio "dream factories" structuring its vast production. Filmmakers designed Hollywood studios with a distinct artistic and industrial mission in mind, which in turn influenced the form, content, and business of the films that were made and the impressions of the people who viewed them. The first book to retell the history of film studio architecture, 'Studios Before the System' expands the social and cultural footprint of cinema's virtual worlds and their contribution to wider developments in global technology and urban modernism.

Summary:
Parce que le cinéma comme l’architecture participent à une expérience esthétique collective, l’école nationale supérieure d’architecture Paris-Malaquais revient sur quelques-unes des correspondances qui peuvent rapprocher ces deux arts. Films de la Nouvelle Vague, cinéma asiatique, films d’avant-garde et expérimentaux, fictions hollywoodiennes et de science-fiction, documentaires : autant d’œuvres cinématographiques que l’on interrogera pour leurs visions de métropoles génériques, leurs capacités d’observation de la vie quotidienne, leurs critiques du réel, leurs dimensions fictionnelles et oniriques.
