"This is an exciting book, bursting with insights and information on virtually every page. A vast range of films and an equally astonishing range of references combine to present a dazzling array of thought-provoking discussions which range across virtually all of film history and geography. Both a meditation on the past and a call to arms for the future, this book truly sets a new agenda for film and media studies." -- David Desser, University of Illinois "Dixon suggests that what others have seen as a crisis of the moving image can better be regarded as a singular transformation point, laden with new possibilities. The spread of video, the Internet, etc., has indeed created difficulties for filmmaking as traditionally conceived. Digital processes have permitted an ever-more-thorough destruction of real referentiality. The technological boom as a whole has allowed for multinational corporations to exploit and control the media of expression as never before. But at the same time, Dixon argues, the technological revolution has unleashed a wide new variety of possibilities for critical discourse, and for a process of 'non-colonial, non-canonical revision' of the standards of cinema. Dixon covers a dazzling range of alternative film practices, ranging from post-Revolutionary Iranian cinema to feminist genre revisionism, from the race-conscious films of the Sankofa collective to the passionate low-budget filmmaking of Roger Corman. He also detours into the past to take up the fascinating cases of such forgotten earlier directors as Reginald LeBorg and John H. Collins. And he touches on crucial issues in contemporary film theory, such as the nature of the gaze in horror films. I found this book exhilarating for the way in which it displays a panoply of alternative strategies for cinematic production, which have survived despite being marginalized by mainstream Hollywood, and whose potentialities are, in spite of appearances, increasing at the present moment." -- Steven Shaviro, University of Washington

Synopsis
Considers the ephemeral nature of the cinematic experience as we now apprehend it, and examines the ways in which technological advances in film and moving image production have changed this experience over the course of the last thirty-odd years. While agreeing that the "digitization" of the cinema is inevitable, and even a necessary adjustment to the economic realities of end-of-the-millennium cinema production, Dixon argues that it represents a fundamental representational shift in the relationship between the spectator and the image-production apparatus of the cinematograph. More than ever all visual input is merely raw material which is then subjected to digital "polishing" and "tweaking" until it attains a sheen of artificial splendor that is utterly removed from the photographic reproduction of the object and/or person originally photographed., While agreeing that the "digitization" of the cinema is inevitable, and even a necessary adjustment to the economic realities of end-of-the-millennium cinema production, Dixon argues that it represents a fundamental representational shift in the relationship between the spectator and the image-production apparatus of the cinematograph.

The seller also messaged me as soon as the purchase went through so communication was great. This was the last book in the series that I needed and to be able to find it in such great condition and at a great cost was unexpected. Highly recommend this seller and will definitely buy from again in the future.MARTIN THE WARRIOR (REDWALL) By Brian Jacques - Hardcover **BRAND NEW** (#187149385105)

The seller met two out of three categories I look for when judging my purchasing experience: how well it was packaged, how quickly it was shipped, and how properly it was described; this seller provided prompt shipping and an accurate description, but failed when it came to packaging. The item arrived in a plastic bag without any reinforcement or protection whatsoever and suffered dinged corners on multiple fronts.
