The Sound of Stars - - Bog - Osservatorio Fotografico - Plusbog.dk

Xiaoxiao Xu took these photos in October 2014, while she was staying in Ravenna. Almost all taken in the Piallassa and in the chemical hub located between the city and the sea, Xu''s photos explore the contrast between the natural landscape of the pinewood areas, and the wide industrial area comprising of Hamon cooling-towers - symbolising the peak of the city’s economic development -, which have now been abandoned for decades. (curated by Silvia Loddo and Cesare Fabbri for Osservatorio Fotografico within the framework of the project "Dove Viviamo", book design Emilio Macchia)lli.

In the Studio - - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

In the Studio - - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Studios are, at once, material environments and symbolic forms, sites of artistic creation and physical labor, and nodes in networks of resource circulation. They are architectural places that generate virtual spaces—worlds built to build worlds. Yet, despite being icons of corporate identity, studios have faded into the background of critical discourse and into the margins of film and media history. In response, In the Studio demonstrates that when we foreground these worlds, we gain new insights into moving-image culture and the dynamics that quietly mark the worlds on our screens. Spanning the twentieth century and moving globally, this unique collection tells new stories about studio icons—Pinewood, Cinecittà, Churubusco, and CBS—as well as about the experimental workplaces of filmmakers and artists from Aleksandr Medvedkin to Charles and Ray Eames and Hollis Frampton.

Albert J.Luxford, the Gimmick Man - Gareth Owen - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

Albert J. Luxford has long been known as "The Gimmick Man" in the film and television industry, but he has remained one of its unsung and unknown geniuses despite his well-known work.

He worked on such shows and movies as Are You Being Served?, The Muppets, Highlander, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, among many others. In this memoir, Luxford reminisces with great good humor about his life and work and shares some tricks of the trade. He left school at 16 to attend the Institute of Automobile Engineers in West London and began in the film industry as an engineer at Pinewood Studios. The bulk of this work is made up of Luxford''s recollections about his experiences in special effects. This is a genuine tour behind the scenes by an incomparable master of movie magic.

The Odyssey of a Sound Recordist - Malcolm Stewart - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Odyssey of a Sound Recordist - Malcolm Stewart - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

A fascinating memoir looking back on a ground-breaking career. Published posthumously, the book contains a number of colour photographs from Malcolm’s archives. In a time before television had really started, the computer age had barely begun and there was only one domestic channel on the radio – the BBC Home Service. One of the few operators changing the discs was a 15-year-old boy from the East End of London. The year was 1944 and Malcolm Stewart had just embarked a career that would take him on a journey to leave a world of poverty and drabness behind him. That journey would take him to Hamburg and forces broadcasting, a billet that would see him placed in charge of former members of the SS, and uniquely for someone destined for the film business give him the kind of security clearance that attracted the CIA. Malcolm’s book recounts a career spanning some of the most important British films of the twentieth century, being deported from Cuba and fleeing via the jungle from Ghana with help from the CIA. In his garden shed, Malcolm also started Audio Systems, a company that would for a time, rival both Pinewood and Shepperton Studios for their sound services. He developed the world’s first portable multitrack recorder. He went from the film business to television news, covering some of the biggest stories of the 80’s. Through this long and distinguished career he met many world leaders, film stars and journalists, who knew him as Malcolm, one of the industry’s unsung heroes.

Beyond the Synagogue - Rachel B. Gross - Bog - New York University Press - Plusbog.dk

Beyond the Synagogue - Rachel B. Gross - Bog - New York University Press - Plusbog.dk

Finalist for the 2021 National Jewish Book Award in American Jewish Studies Honorable Mention, 2021 Saul Viener Book Prize, given by the American Jewish Historical Society Reveals nostalgia as a new way of maintaining Jewish continuity In 2007, the Museum at Eldridge Street opened at the site of a restored nineteenth-century synagogue originally built by some of the first Eastern European Jewish immigrants in New York City. Visitors to the museum are invited to stand along indentations on the floor where footprints of congregants past have worn down the soft pinewood. Here, many feel a palpable connection to the history surrounding them. Beyond the Synagogue argues that nostalgic activities such as visiting the Museum at Eldridge Street or eating traditional Jewish foods should be understood as American Jewish religious practices. In making the case that these practices are not just cultural, but are actually religious, Rachel B. Gross asserts that many prominent sociologists and historians have mistakenly concluded that American Judaism is in decline, and she contends that they are looking in the wrong places for Jewish religious activity. If they looked outside of traditional institutions and practices, such as attendance at synagogue or membership in Jewish Community Centers, they would see that the embrace of nostalgia provides evidence of an alternative, under-appreciated way of being Jewish and of maintaining Jewish continuity. Tracing American Jews' involvement in a broad array of ostensibly nonreligious activities, including conducting Jewish genealogical research, visiting Jewish historic sites, purchasing books and toys that teach Jewish nostalgia to children, and seeking out traditional Jewish foods, Gross argues that these practices illuminate how many American Jews are finding and making meaning within American Judaism today.

When Marilyn Met the Queen - Michelle Morgan - Bog - Little, Brown - Plusbog.dk

When Marilyn Met the Queen - Michelle Morgan - Bog - Little, Brown - Plusbog.dk

''England? It seemed to be raining the whole time . . . Or maybe it was me'' MARILYN MONROEIn July 1956, Marilyn Monroe arrived in London, on honeymoon with her husband Arthur Miller, to make The Sleeping Prince (later released as The Prince and the Showgirl ) with Laurence Olivier. When the couple arrived at London Airport, they were looking forward to a peaceful stay. Marilyn would work during the day at Pinewood Studios, while Arthur would write. Then, in the evening, the couple would be able to relax together in their private English country cottage. It didn''t quite turn out that way.The ''cottage'' was actually a mansion, which belonged to Lord Drogheda, the managing director of the Financial Times . Raised in tiny hotel rooms and apartments, Marilyn felt herself being watched. She was, by Lord Drogheda''s servants, who were selling stories to the papers. When filming began, it was a disaster. Director Joshua Logan had written to Olivier, offering advice on how to handle Marilyn as an actress, but Olivier ignored him. Instead, he condescended to her in his introduction to the cast, pooh-poohed her views on acting, and dismissed her stage-fright as an inconvenience. Marilyn grew to hate Olivier with a passion; the feeling was mutual.Marilyn found herself torn between settling into married life, being a curiosity for the frequently hostile British press, and her work on The Prince and the Showgirl . She took solace in small acts of kindness from members of the public, and a new fascination with Queen Elizabeth.Marilyn made a point of adopting some of the Queen''s favourite brands, buying gloves from Cornelia James, perfume from Floris, and switching from Chanel No. 5 to Yardley''s Lavender. Marilyn made a point of asking the film''s PR manager to add a royal meeting to her schedule, but each day Olivier would delete the request. Michelle Morgan describes Marilyn''s trip to late-1950s'' Britain in evocative detail, exploring the making of the film alongside the film star''s troubled private life and her quest to meet the Queen.

Here the Scots language and culture are celebrated through gatherings such as fire festivals.This guidebook''s Slow approach to travel fits with a growing ethos of sustainability in this part of Scotland, from Findhorn Ecovillage to a celebration of locally sourced, artisan and organic food alongside the well-known products of whisky, Aberdeen Angus beef and River Dee salmon. Key heritage attractions are described in intimate detail - but so too are opportunities to see some of Scotland''s most special wildlife, from pinewood-dwelling crested tits to high-altitude specialists like ptarmigan. Whether you are keen to visit castles or indulge in whisky-tastings amid Britain''s highest concentration of distilleries, to hike among Cairngorm''s remote mountains or to stride boldly along miles upon miles of coastline, discover North East Scotland with Bradt''s unique Slow guide.
