Synopsis: With the publication of "French Film History, 1895 - 1946", Professor Richard Neupert addresses the creative and often unexpected trajectory of French cinema, which continues to be one of the most provocative and engaging cinemas in the world.
Tracing French film and its developments from the earliest days, when France dominated world cinema, up through the Occupation and Liberation, Professor Neupert outlines major players and films that made it so influential. Paris held a privileged position as one of the world's hubs of scientific, social, and cultural experimentation; it is no wonder that the cinema as we know it was born there in the nineteenth century.
This detailed study presents French cinema's most significant creative filmmakers and movies but also details the intricate relations between technology, economics, and government that helped shape the unique conditions for cinematic experimentation in the country.
Professor Neupert also explains the contexts behind the rise of cinema in France, including groundbreaking work by the Lumiere family, Georges Melies, and Alice Guy; the powerhouse studios of Pathe and Gaumont; directors such as Rene Clair, Germaine Dulac, Marcel Pagnol, and Jean Renoir; and an array of stars, including Max Linder, Jean Gabin, Josephine Baker, and Michele Morgan.
The first fifty years of French film practice established cinema's cultural and artistic potential, setting the stage for the global post - World War II explosion in commercial movies and art cinema alike. French film and its rich history remain at the heart of cinematic storytelling and our movie-going pleasure.
Critique: A seminal work of dedicated research and meticulous scholarship, "French Film History, 1895 - 1946" is an extraordinary, impressive, detailed and informative history of early French filmmaking. Informative enhanced for the reader with the inclusion of a List of Illustrations and Acknowledgements, an Epilogue (Toward a New Era in French Cinema), a ten page Bibliography, and a twenty-one page Index, "French Film History, 1895 - 1946" is an essential and indispensable addition to personal, professional, community, college, and university library Cinematic History collections and supplemental curriculum studies lists.

He is also the author of A History of the French New Wave Cinema, French Animation History, and, most recently, John Lasseter.

Synopsis: Filmmaking is a business -- someone has to pay the bills. For much of the cinema industry's history, that role was shouldered by the studios. The rise of independent filmmakers then led to the rise of independent financiers. But what happens if bad weather closes down a production or a director's vision pays no heed to the limitations of time and money?
That's when Film Finances would come into play. The company was founded in London in 1950 to insure against the risk that a film would exceed its original budget or not be completed on time. Its pioneering development of the "completion guarantee" (the financial instrument that provides the essential security for investors to support independent filmmaking) which ultimately led to the creation of many thousands of films, including some of the most celebrated ever made: Moulin Rouge (1953), Dr. No (1962), The Outsiders (1982), Pulp Fiction (1994), Slumdog Millionaire (2008), La La Land (2016), and more.
Film Finances's role in filmmaking was little known outside the industry until 2012, when it opened its historical archive to scholars. Drawing on these previously private documents as well as interviews with its executives, "Making Hollywood Happen: Seventy Years of Film Finances" by Charles Drazin tells the company's story through seven decades of postwar cinema history and chronicles the growth of the international independent film industry. Focusing on a business that has operated at the meeting point between money and art for more than seventy years, this lavishly illustrated volume goes to the heart of how the movie business works.
Critique: A very special and very unique contribution to the growing library of Cinematic History, "Making Hollywood Happen: Seventy Years of Film Finances" is the newest addition to the Wisconsin Film Studies series. A fascinating historical study that will have a very special appeal to readers with an interest in how films are financed, "Making Hollywood Happen: Seventy Years of Film Finances" provides an extraordinary wealth of informed and informative insights -- making it an essential and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, professional, community, and academic library Cinematic Studies collections and supplemental curriculum lists.

He previously taught at Queen Mary, University of London, and has published several books on film history, including In Search of The Third Man, Korda: Britain's Only Movie Mogul, and The Faber Book of French Cinema.

https://www.amazon.com/Queer-Screams-History-Survival-American/dp/1476687420
Synopsis: The horror genre mirrors the American queer experience, both positively and negatively, overtly and subtextually, from the lumbering, flower-picking monster of Frankenstein (1931) to the fearless intersectional protagonist of the Fear Street Trilogy (2021).
With the publication of "Queer Screams: A History of LGBTQ+ Survival Through the Lens of American Horror Cinema", historian Abigail Waldron provides an historical survey of the queer experiences of the horror genre's characters, performers, authors and filmmakers.
Offering a fresh look at the horror genre's queer roots, "Queer Screams" documents how diverse stories have provided an outlet for queer people (including transgender and non-binary people) to find catharsis and reclamation. Freaks, dolls, serial killers, telekinetic teenagers and Final Girls all have something to contribute to the historical examination of the American LGBTQ+ experience.
Ranging from psychiatry to homophobic fear of HIV/AIDS spread and, most recently, the alienation and self-determination of queer America in the Trump era, "Queer Screams" is a fearless inquiry into how terror may repair a shattered queer heart.
Critique: Of special and particular interest to the LGBTQ+ community, film historians, and movie buffs, "Queer Screams: A History of LGBTQ+ Survival Through the Lens of American Horror Cinema" is a unique and informative cinematic history that is exceptionally informative and highly recommended for personal, professional, community, college, and university library Cinematic History and LGBTQ+ Studies collections and curriculum syllabus. It should be noted for students, academia, and non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject that "Queer Screams: A History of LGBTQ+ Survival Through the Lens of American Horror Cinema" is also available in a digital book format (Kindle, $17.99).
