Résumé:
''Dance in Herland'' surveys artist Luka Yuanyuan Yang’s cinematic oeuvre, including her feature-length production Chinatown Cha-Cha and five short films centered on diasporic Chinese communities. The book picks up where the films end, serving as both a reflection and a complement, while also creating a new narrative. Over nearly a year of editing, we felt like revisiting 20th-century San Francisco and Cuba, tracing history through the neons of Chinatown and the echoes of Cantonese opera. For the dancers and performers documented in this book, their bodies act as living archives; their memories and unspoken emotions may be concealed in their steps, fingertips, and gazes.

Le cinéma et le design le montrent : l'objet impossible peut exister, de multiples manières.

Résumé:
Le cinéma et le design le montrent : l'objet impossible peut exister, de multiples manières. Il peut être une pure potentialité, comme un sabre laser (dans Star Wars, ou ailleurs), ou un projet prospectif rattrapé par la réalité (le frigo connecté de Total Recall) ; un moyen de générer de l'énergie ou de voyager dans le temps ; il peut être une caméra, une voiture réincarnée, un faux livre, un miroir magique ou un plumbus. De tous ces objets, il est question dans « L'Encyclopédie des Objets Impossibles », qui se veut un inventaire critique d'objets de cinéma et de ciné-objets du quotidien, destiné à ouvrir le champ des possibles en termes de représentation et, plus encore, de conception. « L'Encyclopédie des Objets Impossibles » rassemble des articles de recherches, analytiques, critiques, prospectifs, des recueils de notices encyclopédiques, des essais de forme plus libre, allant du cataloguage systématique aux écrits poétiques.

Résumé:
The city is one of the greatest unsung heroes in cinema -- a modernist inspiration for silent classics such as Metropolis (1926) and a dense urban jungle in The Matrix (1999) -- yet there have been few attempts to grasp the cultural and aesthetic nature of its role in film. This volume is an ambitious collection of writings and photo-essays discussing this complex yet enduring relationship, and how early cinema, digital technology and changing urban geographies have all impacted upon notions and representations of the modern city. Amongst the films discussed are Peeping Tom (1960), Performance (1970), Sans Soleil (1983) and Amores perros (2000). Contributions come from the fields of film studies, cultural theory, architecture and design, as well as filmmakers Patrick Keiller and Chris Petit. Andrew Webber is Reader in Modern German and Comparative Culture at Churchill College, University of Cambridge. He is the author of The European Avant-garde (2004). Emma Wilson is Reader in Contemporary French Literature and Film at Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge. She is the author of Cinema's Missing Children (2003) and Alain Resnais (2006).

Résumé:
Concerned with the connection between the built environment and the passage of time, ''Reframing Berlin'' uses film locations in the city to reveal the influence that urban transformation has on memory-making. Covering the city’s history since the beginning of cinema, the book proposes the term urban strategy to understand the range of consequential actions taken by politicians, developers, and other powerful figures to shape the nature and future of buildings, streets, and districts. Organizing these strategies from demolition to memorialization, the authors study the ways these actions forget or recall aspects of place. Using cinematic representations of Berlin as an audiovisual archive, the study details how the city has adjusted to its traumatic twentieth-century history through architectural transformations. Two dissimilar case studies frame each strategy, indicating that an approach that works for one building may not be sufficient for another.
