Summary:
In 1983 visionary director John Cassavetes asked journalist Michael Ventura to write a unique film study - an on-set diary of the making of his film "Love Streams". Cassavetes laid out his expectations. He wanted 'a daring book, a tough book'. In Ventura's words, 'All I had to do for 'daring' and 'tough' was transcribe this man's audacity day by day.' "Cassavetes Directs" describes the creation of "Love Streams" shot by shot, crisis by crisis. During production, the director learned that he was seriously ill, that this film might, as it tragically turned out, be his last. Starring alongside actress and wife Gena Rowlands, Cassavetes shot in sequence, reconceiving and revising his film almost nightly, in order that "Love Streams" could stand as his final statement. Both an intimate portrait of the man and an insight into his unique filmmaking philosophy, "Cassavetes Directs" documents a heroic moment in the life of a great !

Summary:
There was a time when seeing a movie meant more than seeing a film. The theater itself shaped the very perception of events on screen. This multilayered history tells the story of American film through the evolution of theater architecture and the surprisingly varied ways movies were shown, ranging from Edison's 1896 projections to the 1968 Cinerama premiere of Stanley Kubrick's 2001. William Paul matches distinct architectural forms to movie styles, showing how cinema's roots in theater influenced business practices, exhibition strategies, and film technologies.

Summary:
In exploring how artificial darkness shaped modern art, film, and media, Noam M. Elcott addresses seminal and obscure works alongside their sites of production—such as photography darkrooms, film studios, and laboratories—and their sites of reception, including theaters, cinemas, and exhibitions. He argues that artists, scientists, and entertainers like Étienne-Jules Marey, Richard Wagner, Georges Méliès, and Oskar Schlemmer revolutionized not only images but also everything surrounding them: the screen, the darkness, and the experience of bodies and space.

"The films of Charles and Ray Eames" traces the history of the Eameses’ work, examining their evolution away from the design of mass-produced goods and toward projects created as educational experiences. Closely examining how the Eameses described their work reveals how the films and exhibitions they generated were completely at odds with the earlier objectives exemplified in their furniture designs. Shifting away from promoting the consumer-culture, they turned their attention to the presentation of complex sets of scientific, artistic, and philosophical ideas.

Summary:
Au milieu du siècle dernier, alors que l’image en mouvement s’est pleinement constituée comme forme culturelle et intellectuelle, la phénoménologie et l’esthétique du cinéma partagent le projet délicat d’une mise en suspens partielle du langage verbal. L’union des actes de vision et de pensée anime alors simultanément les écrits de Maurice Merleau-Ponty et de Jean Epstein, autour desquels de nouvelles pistes de réflexion se sont ouvertes ces dernières années. Chez le philosophe, cette nouvelle constitution du savoir se manifeste par le retour à l’attitude corporelle. Pour le cinéaste, c’est la rencontre avec le regard de la machine cinématographique qui dévoile une terra incognita face à la connaissance rationnelle. Cet ouvrage propose une rencontre inédite entre deux pensées incontournables de l’image et une exploration des frontières plus que jamais complexes entre la philosophie et l’esthétique du cinéma.

Dans cette histoire des sciences et des technologies, Thomas Alva Edison (1847 – 1931) occupe une place centrale – et méritée. Avec son équipe, il a mis au point ou perfectionné un grand nombre d’inventions décisives, qui ont changé le monde – et notre perception du monde : l’enregistrement du son avec le phonographe (1877), l’ampoule électrique durable (1880), la production et la distribution d’éle tricité (1880), le cinéma avec le kinétographe (une caméra, 1891), le kinétoscope (une visionneuse individuelle, 1891), la Black Maria (un studio de cinéma, 1893) et le kinétophone (qui synchronise un kinétoscope et un phonographe, 1895), etc. Il a mis sur pied l’un des premiers laboratoires de recherche industriels, d’abord à Menlo Park, N. J. (1876 – 1886), puis à West Orange, N. J. (1887 – 1931), avec plusieurs associés et un grand nombre de chercheurs salariés, qui travaillaient en parallèle sur des dizaines de projets et déposaient annuellement des centaines de brevets. Pour comme cialiser ses inventions, il a fondé une douzaine de compagnies, dont la Edison General Electric (1890) qui deviendra la General Electric.
