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
