Summary:
The art of producing color in movies is a fascinating process with a long history. Many people don’t realize that, as early as the 1890s, much of silent cinema was in color. They also may not know that women were the main workforce behind the techniques that first produced these effects, a tradition that continued as the practice evolved. Breakthroughs in color technology have created ongoing opportunities for filmmakers to experiment with new forms of narrative and emotional storytelling. Spectacular, psychological and sensory, color has become an integral part of the cinematic experience. From the earliest hand-painted films to Technicolor and today’s digital cinema, Color in Motion takes readers on a journey through the evolution and significance of color in film. Presenting insightful analysis, engaging case studies and inspiring conversations with scholars and experts in the field, with topics ranging from animation to the intersections of color and race in cinema, it traces the historical development of color technologies and their impact onscreen. Incorporating vivid images of color films throughout history—Serpentine Dance, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Fantasia, The Red Shoes, Vertigo, West Side Story, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Moonlight and more, as well as new multispectral scans of rare silent-era film prints—this essential volume celebrates color’s enduring influence on the medium of film.

Summary:
The changing nature of African landscapes, from rural to urbanized spaces, has been a pre-occupation of African media producers since the beginnings of the African film industry in the 1960s. The authors bring together several examples of African documentary and fiction screen media that present, evaluate and criticize urban and rural landscapes, and the rural and urban dynamic of development, in relation to contemporary issues, from biodiversity, sustainability and deforestation, to inequity, women’s rights, political instability, to climate change-related themes of water and food supply, security and sovereignty. These works, comprising multi-platform cinema, streamed moving images and especially documentaries, depict the situations and open the door to rethinking and eventually to the possibilities of proposals responding to the situations portrayed.

Summary:
Pleins feux sur 40 grands films! « La prisonnière du désert, » « Sur la route de Madison, » « Piège de cristal, » « Chantons sous la pluie, » « Il faut sauver le soldat Ryan, » « Lola Montès »... À travers des scènes minutieusement décrites et sublimées par les illustrations de l’auteur, cet ouvrage s’intéresse à un grand thème de l’architecture et à son traitement par le cinéma : l’ombre et la lumière. Des dessins enchanteurs se succèdent au fil des pages, et ces séquences découpées plan par plan viennent guider notre oeil novice vers ce qui n’est pour nous qu’un détail, mais qui donnera toute sa saveur à la scène. Comme en architecture, chaque élément a une fonction bien précise: telle ombre provoque le suspense, tel éclairage révèle un sentiment...

Summary:
Un essai à la fois très personnel et constituant une introduction claire à la pensée de Gilles Deleuze à travers son rapport au cinéma, pensé comme champ d'expérimentation (existentielle, conceptuelle et esthétique) pour résister à la mort, au désastre et à la sidération produite par le « fait moderne ». Pour Deleuze, le cinéma, après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, a dû revenir d'entre les morts – revenir de la catastrophe, revenir de la compromission du cinéma classique avec les outils de soumission des masses. Mais revenir des morts est aussi un geste à sans cesse reprendre dans la création artistique ou conceptuelle afin de lutter contre toutes les formes de contrôle et de normalisation : mort du regard, mort de l'affect, mort du désir, mort de la révolte, mort devant la pensée-pour-le-marché.
