[ecrea] Filming Difference

Wed Jul 22 19:08:42 GMT 2009



Filming Difference
Actors, Directors, Producers and Writers on Gender, Race and Sexuality in Film
Edited by Daniel Bernardi, Arizona State University in Tempe

?A compelling, fascinating, even inspirational reading experience. By exposing the critical voices of media makers, this volume provides vital discursive tools.? ­Bambi Haggins, author of Laughing Mad: The Black Comic Persona in Post-Soul America

Addressing representation and identity in a variety of production styles and genres, including experimental film and documentary, independent and mainstream film, and television drama, Filming Difference poses fundamental questions about the ways in which the art and craft of filmmaking force creative people to confront stereotypes and examine their own identities while representing the complexities of their subjects. Selections range from C. A. Griffith?s ?Del Otro Lado: Border Crossings, Disappearing Souls, and Other Transgressions? and Celine Perreñas Shimizu?s ?Pain and Pleasure in the Flesh of Machiko Saito?s Experimental Movies? to Christopher Bradley?s ?I Saw You Naked: ?Hard? Acting in ?Gay? Movies,? along with Kevin Sandler?s interview with Paris Barclay and Yuri Makino?s interview with Chris Eyre. Technical aspects of the craft are considered as well, including how contributors to filmmaking plan and design films and episodic television that feature difference, and how the tools of cinema­such as cinematography and lighting­influence portrayals of gender, race, and sexuality.
