Feeling Colour: Chromatic Embodiment in Film Culture, 1950s–1960s

  • Bregt Lameris
The shift back from quasi monochrome to coloured motion picture during the 1950s and 1960s famously provided moviegoers the dazzling opportunity to more fully engage their senses, all the while opening new modes of affective possibilities for filmmakers. Set against the intersection of media studies, emotion theory, biology, and digital humanities, Feeling Colour: Chromatic Embodiment in Film Culture (1950s-1960s) delves into the role colour played in the oft-fraught relationship between cinema and its audiences. This transnational analysis of an extensive range of midcentury cinematography examines the multilayered effects which extend beyond the silver screen, offering a high-level theoretical elaboration and in-depth historical exploration of both experimental and mainstream movies.

Photography in the Third Reich: Art, Physiognomy and Propaganda

  • Christopher Webster
This lucid and comprehensive collection of essays by an international group of scholars constitutes a photo-historical survey of select photographers who embraced National Socialism during the Third Reich. These photographers developed and implemented physiognomic and ethnographic photography, and, through a Selbstgleichschaltung (a self-co-ordination with the regime), continued to practice as photographers throughout the twelve years of the Third Reich.

The Altering Eye: Contemporary International Cinema

  • Robert Phillip Kolker
Covering a ‘golden age’ of international cinema from the end of WWII to the New German Cinema of the 1970s, Kolker’s book is a much-quoted classic in the field of film studies. Combining historical, political and textual analysis, Kolker develops a pattern of cinematic invention and experimentation from neorealism through the modernist interventions of Jean-Luc Godard and Rainer Maria Fassbinder, focusing along the way on such major figures as Luis Bunel, Joseph Losey, Glauber Rocha, and key Cuban filmmakers. This new and revised edition includes a substantive new preface by the author and an updated bibliography.
