NEW TITLE:

FRAMING FILM: CINEMA AND THE VISUAL ARTS

Edited by STEVEN ALLEN AND LAURA HUBNER

Published:  September 2012

------------------------------------

In /Framing Film/, Steven Allen and Laura Hubner draw on a selection of historically and culturally diverse texts to explore the intricate relationships between cinema and the visual arts. Broad in scope, the volume considers a range of visual arts media, including posters, paintings, photography, comic books, and production design. By examining these various forms of media, Allen and Hubner emphasize the ability of visual arts to frame the spectator’s experience of cinema. Among the films and arts considered in this thought-provoking interdisciplinary volume are selections from both the ‘high’- and ‘low-brow’ aspects of culture.

Contributions to this exploration of the interconnections between cinema and the visual arts are provided by film theorists, art historians and media practitioners and include Steven Allen, Judith Buchanan, Ian Christie, Leighton Grist, Ian Hague, David Heinemann, Laura Hubner, Tina Kendall, David Morrison, Matilde Nardelli, Dorota Ostrowska, Toni Ross and Dennis Rothermel.

Recommendations for /Framing Film/

'It is the painterly skill that goes into the cinematic imagery which has allowed movies to become a part of our cultural and social consciousness; if you wish to learn more about the topic then look no further.' – Trevor Hogg: Flickering Myth
