THE LADY BEST BOOKS OF 2024<BR><BR>A haunted record of a life devoted to the visual art of the cinema and the written word, by Ireland's greatest director and one of her finest novelists.<BR><BR>In this vivid, moving and strange memoir, Neil Jordan - the author of classic fiction like The Past, Sunrise with Sea Monster and Night in Tunisia, and the creator of celebrated movies like Angel, Mona Lisa, The Crying Game and Interview with the Vampire - reaches deep into his own past and that of his family.<BR><BR>His mother was a painter, his father an inspector of schools who was visited by ghosts, and Jordan grew up on the edge of an abandoned aristocratic estate in north Dublin whose mysterious ruins fed his imagination. Passionate about music, he played in bands and theatre groups and met, at University College Dublin, a young radical called Jim Sheridan. Together they staged unforgettable dramatic productions that hinted at their future careers. <BR><BR>His first collection of stories and first novel, Night in Tunisia and The Past, were met with acclaim, but Jordan was also drawn to the freedom and visual richness of film, and worked with the great English director John Boorman on his Arthurian epic Excalibur. His own first movie with Stephen Rea, Angel, was a brilliant angular take on the horrific violence of the Troubles, and in the years since then his films have combined in a unique way, intense supernatural elements with reflections on violence and sexuality. <BR><BR>Jordan describes his work with Stephen Rea, Jaye Davidson, Bob Hoskins, Tom Cruise and many others, but this is not a conventional story of life in the movies. The book is an eerie meditation on loss, love and creativity, on inspiration and influence, by one of the most unusual artists Ireland has produced.

Vecchi fari a strisce rosse e bianche, casinò in legno ai piedi del Monte Bianco, hotel dai colori pastello, stazioni ferroviarie attraversate da treni a vapore, binocoli a gettone sul molo di un lago: abbiamo imparato che l¿arte imita la realtà, ma in ogni angolo del pianeta appaiono edifici che sembrano usciti quasi per caso da un film di Wes Anderson. Questo libro è una raccolta di storie e luoghi «andersoniani» davvero esistenti e visitabili in tutta la loro simmetrica bellezza. Un invito alla scoperta e allo smarrimento, a guardare il mondo dal punto di vista del più romantico e agrodolce dei registi contemporanei.

David Lynch, da molti stimato e da moltissimi incompreso, è l¿autore che con opere disturbanti come Twin Peaks è stato capace di muovere generazioni, seminando stupore e inquietudine tra il pubblico. Ma chi è davvero David Lynch e cosa, in realtà, vogliono dirci i suoi film? Questo saggio di Sergio L. Duma ci accompagna in un viaggio alla ricerca di risposte, passando attraverso le terre dell¿occulto e del misticismo, culla di Lynch e della sua ispirazione. In un puzzle di elementi storici ed esoterici, l¿autore intreccia la realtà con la filmografia costruendo, alla fine, una plausibile risposta. Una volta per tutte sarà chiarito perché ¿i gufi non sono quello che sembranö. Cover di Giorgio Finamore.

Transmedia Directors focuses on artist-practitioners who work across media, platforms and disciplines, including film, television, music video, commercials and the internet. Working in the age of media convergence, today's em/impresarios project a distinctive style that points toward a new contemporary aesthetics. The media they engage with enrich their practices âEUR" through film and television (with its potential for world-building and sense of the past and future), music video (with its audiovisual aesthetics and rhythm), commercials (with their ability to project a message quickly) and the internet (with its refreshed concepts of audience and participation), to larger forms like restaurants and amusement parks (with their materiality alongside today's digital aesthetics). These directors encourage us to reassess concepts of authorship, assemblage, transmedia, audiovisual aesthetics and world-building. Providing a vital resource for scholars and practitioners, this collection weaves together insights about artist-practitioners' collaborative processes as well as strategies for composition, representation, subversion and resistance.

Kurt Kren was a vital figure in Austrian avant-garde cinema of the postwar period. His structural films-often shot frame-by-frame following elaborately prescored charts and diagrams-have influenced filmmakers for decades, even as Kren himself remained a nomadic and obscure public figure. Kurt Kren, edited by Nicky Hamlyn, Simon Payne, and A. L. Rees, brings together interviews with Kren, film scores, and classic, out-of-print essays, alongside the reflections of contemporary academics and filmmakers, to add much-needed critical discussion of Kren's legacy. Taken together, the collection challenges the canonical view of Kren that ignores his underground lineage and powerful, lyrical imagery.

Two different world-views. Two different sets of values. Hollywood and people of faith—two worlds in conflict and the chasm that exists between them. Dr. Larry Poland's book, Chasm: Crossing the Divide Between Hollywood and People of Faith, explores the century-old warfare between the world of entertainment and mainstream Americans, those "flyovers" between Hollywood and New York. It is filled with fascinating first-person stories exposing the conflicts over excess, entitlement, God, the Bible, and intrinsic value. Dr. Poland's three decades in Hollywood as a consultant on the faith community informs his analysis. Stories from inside the industry are told with insight and good humor even amid some biting criticisms of those on both sides of the divide. Far from a "basher" or "tell all," Chasm is a call for those in both camps to get across the divide and build trust relationships as a basis for positive interchange, meaningful dialogue, and the pursuit of more redemptive media content. Is a truce possible? Find out here.
