So What, or How to Make Films with Words
Series: Superimpositions
Images, whether filmic or not, cannot be replaced by words. Yet words can make images. This is the thesis underlying So What, a collection of essays on filmmakers and artists, including Luchino Visconti, Orson Welles, Marguerite Duras, Hollis Frampton, and Agnes Martin.
Precarious Intimacies
This book interrogates the politics and aesthetics of intimacy in European cinema through the lens of precarity.
Aesthetic Spaces
Aesthetic Spaces analyzes intermedial relations between film, painting, and theater.
The Authentic Death and Contentious Afterlife of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid
Long before Sam Peckinpah finished shooting his 1973 Western, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, there was open warfare between him and the studio. In this scrupulously researched new book Paul Seydor reconstructs the riveting history of a brilliant director fighting to preserve an artistic vision while wrestling with his own self‑destructive demons.
Casting a Shadow
Alfred Hitchcock is often held up as the prime example of the one-man filmmaker, conceiving and controlling all aspects of his films’ development--the archetype of genius over collaboration. An exhibition at the Block Museum of Art at Northwestern University, however, put the lie to Hitchcock-as-auteur, presenting more than seventy-five sketches, designs, watercolors, paintings, and storyboards that, together, examine Hitchcock’s very collaborative filmmaking process. The four essays in this collection were written to accompany the exhibition and delve further into Hitchcock’s contributions to the collaborative process of art in film.
