Hello My Friend by Alee Peoples with an Essay by Ekrem Serdar is being published to accompany the exhibition Hello My Friend by Alee Peoples March 24 - May 21, 2023 at General Projects in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA. Alee Peoples is an innovative multimedia artist whose work explores the intersections of text, pattern, and visual communication. Her work is like a Rubik's Cube, deceptively simple and fascinating. Shooting Super 8 and 16mm in her film work and using repurposed fabric and materials in her textile work, Peoples transforms everyday objects into unique, abstract narratives that explore the absurdities and banalities of our contemporary imagination. Elements of a cosmic aesthetic run throughout her work, bringing her handcrafted look to life. Her work engages in a fierce form of play, grappling with meaning instead of grasping for it. Alee Peoples maintains a varied artistic practice that involves screen-printing, sewing, sculpture and film. Currently living in Los Angeles, she has taught youth classes at Echo Park Film Center and shown her sculpture and film work at GAIT, 4th Wall and Elephant Art Space. Peoples has shown her films at numerous festivals including Edinburgh, Images (Toronto) and New York Film Festival, and at museums and spaces including SFMoMA, Brooklyn Museum of Art, The Pompidou Center, Dirt Palace (Providence) and The Nightingale (Chicago). Started in 2022, Arroyo Seco Cine Club is a thematically programmed film series she co-curates with Mike Stoltz. She is inspired by pedestrian histories, pop song lyrics and is invested in the handmade. Ekrem Serdar (he, him) is a curator, writer, and arts administrator. As the curator at Squeaky Wheel he organizes exhibitions, public programming, and residency programs. Recent exhibitions and projects include Jenson Leonard: Gland Prix; SHAWNÉ MICHAELAIN HOLLOWAY: i would've said goodbye if i thought you loved me back; and Punctures: Textiles in Digital and Material Time. His writing has appeared in The Brooklyn Rail, Millennium Film Journal, 5harfliler, among other publications. He is the recipient of a Curatorial Fellowship from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. He is from Ankara, Turkey.

Understanding Adaptation: Drama, Fiction, Film is an adaptation-studies textbook that contains 70 essays on 80 geographically diverse, historically significant novels, short stories, and plays that have been adapted to film. A comprehensive critical apparatus, together with bibliographies and an exhaustive index, supplements these model essays.Written with university students (and possibly also advanced high school students) in mind, these critical essays cover some of the central works treated, and central issues raised, in today's adaptation-studies courses. Understanding Adaptation providesstudents with practical models to help them improve their own writing and analytical skills-in literature and theater as well as film studies. That is to say, almost all adaptation-studies texts are books about the methods and techniques (the theories, if you will) of adaptation and contain few, if any, actual analyses of fiction or drama into film. This casebook describes the methods and techniques of adaptation at the same time as it provides numerous examples of such analysis.James R. Russo is an independent researcher who holds graduate degrees, including the doctorate, from the University of Richmond and Louisiana State University. He has taught at those schools as well as Tulane. Russo's primary scholarly interests are the cinema and comparative literature. He has edited or authored the following published books: Film Nation: William Troyon the Cinema, 1933-1935; The Bookman: William Troy on Literature and Criticism, 1927-1950; Drama According to Alexander Bakshy, 1916-1946; Analyzing Film: A Student Casebook; and Pillars of Society: Ibsen, Shaw, Brecht.

A restoration and detail improvement of a rare Rubaiyat.

In 2008, I was a student at Clark Atlanta University where I majored in Psychology.Simultaneously, I was a student in the game of life being led by women who were the Video Vixens of that era. Some of their little sisters were my close friends and others let me tag along.From night clubs to strip clubs I was allowed in as a VIP guest before I turned 21, which meant they were giving me pointers on what to do and what not to do. Back then it was $100 a head if they weren't checking ID.I never paid a dime; I just played my position and walked through.I am telling you my experiences and even with the Video Vixens guidance and others along the way I still got myself into sticky (i.e. sketchy) situations that by God's grace and favor I somehow made it out alive. I believe it was to impart this wisdom to you.Fast forward to now, a lot of the principles I learned from that environment allowed me to function in the entertainment industry independently for more than a decade. I later married my husband who comes from a family in the entertainment space and we run a media empire together.A Video Vixen during that time was the chosen main girl in the music video. She was a model, actress, and sometimes producer. She had a voice and a real role in the part she was playing. One of the biggest pieces of advice they indirectly gave me was don't try to be known before your time. You run the risks of embarrassing yourself and your descendants. I have taken my time in hopes that you will do the same. Read this book, apply these principles, and most of all take your time... "Seek respect more than attention, eventually you will have both."Elizabeth Clyde

6x9 hardcover, grayscale, 144 pages. This is an expansion of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. In this expanded Rubaiyat, new Omaresque quatrains have been inserted, many by Omar, and many through Omar's spirit in Austin. Many splendid quatrains are buried deep In the manuscripts of Bodleian's keep And in Calcutta's tome lost, long entombed, Herein given life by enhancement's leap. Expanding The Rubaiyat was quite the ambitious undertaking and so only the best extensions would do: The best versions from FitzGerald's Rubaiyat five editions have been chosen. I've inserted section titles. Nine quatrains that FitzGerald removed have been restored and five quatrains from his notes have been added, making for a new total of 115 quatrains. Quatrains from the Bodleian and Calcutta manuscripts were improved or rewritten and were inserted at the appropriate places. Many of my own best omaresque quatrains were improved and inserted at the appropriate places. Several Rubaiyat-related background themes are presented at the end, many of them containing quatrains: The Find of the Rubaiyat Edition Known as the 'Great Omar'; The Secret Life of Omar's Rubaiyat Poems; On Poetry; Extra Quatrains; The Transmogrification From the Farsi Arabic; Omar's Other Works; Austin's New Calendar; The Answers to Everything.6x9 hardcover, grayscale, 144 pages.

Beard knows how to turn a phrase ... blending personal tales and family history into his critical analysis of the South on film. - Library Journal<BR><BR>From The Birth of a Nation to Forrest Gump, from the bayou to the Appalachians, American filmmakers have been fascinated by the South since the invention of the medium. Deeply complex and often mysterious, the character of the South makes for compelling stories, and The South Never Plays Itself examines those stories through the lenses of criticism and historical perspective.<BR><BR>Since Birth of a Nation became the first Hollywood blockbuster in 1915, movies have struggled to reckon with the American South-as both a place and an idea, a reality and a romance, a lived experience and a bitter legacy. Nearly every major American filmmaker, actor, and screenwriter has worked on a film about the South, from Gone with the Wind to 12 Years a Slave, from Deliverance to Forrest Gump. In The South Never Plays Itself, author and film critic Ben Beard explores the history of the Deep South on screen, beginning with silent cinema and ending in the streaming era, from President Wilson to President Trump, from musical to comedy to horror to crime to melodrama. Beard's idiosyncratic narrative-part cultural history, part film criticism, part memoir-journeys through genres and eras, issues and regions, smash blockbusters and microbudget indies, to explore America's past and troubled present, seen through Hollywood's distorting lens. Opinionated, obsessive, sweeping, often combative, sometimes funny-a wild narrative tumble into culture both high and low-Beard attempts to answer a haunting question: what do movies know about the South that we don't?
