Haga sol, truene o caigan chuzos de punta, se rueda de noche y de día, en invierno con nieve y bajo el sol del verano. La historia manda y los equipos de rodaje se afanan en cumplir lo que está escrito en el guion, por complicado o absurdo que sea, tamizado siempre por la vision del director. El cuenta la historia mientras produccion ajusta los presupuestos, los actores aportan belleza y talento y las localizaciones, en cualquier lugar del mundo, ubican las peliculas. Viajar, rodar, vivir. Las aventuras y desventuras de un director de cine por el mundo cuenta como se viven los rodajes desde detras de las camaras, como se negocia con actores de Hollywood, como es rodar en las orillas del Danubio, en medio de un tornado, en la turistica Torre Eiffel, en el caribeño Puerto Rico o en el muy cinematografico Los Angeles. Y tambien como se localiza por medio mundo, cuan complicado es financiar una pelicula o que se siente en la butaca del cine cuando se apagan las luces y estrenas tu pelicula despues de ocho años de trabajo. El libro es cine, es vida.

Neon Genesis Evangelion es una de las series de animación japonesa más famosas de la historia. Con su particular énfasis en la construcción de personajes, una historia intrigante y una estética muy personal, se convirtio en una serie de culto incluso antes del final de su emision. Algo que no ha cambiado a dia de hoy, mas de veinte años despues, considerada una de las obras mas influyentes de su genero y de la cultura japonesa del siglo XX. Tu (no) necesitas ser un heroe. Neon Genesis Evangelion es un intento de explicar por que este anime ocupa un lugar preponderante en el corazon de toda una generacion. Este libro reflexiona sobre la obra de su creador, Hideaki Anno, sus influencias y la situacion del propio pais, un Japon inmerso en la mayor crisis de capital que haya conocido la humanidad, atenazado por las amenazas del terrorismo y una sensacion de bancarrota moral apocaliptica. Pero eso no significa que la obra sea dada de lado. Ademas del estudio historico y contextual hay un analisis en profundidad de la propia serie, capitulo a capitulo, intentando desentrañar que hay detras de su compleja red de significados. Porque si de algo puede jactarse Neon Genesis Evangelion es de su profundidad. De sus muchas capas. Y para mas inri, de dos finales diferentes y un remake. Por eso la intencion aqui es doble: acercar la serie a quienes no la conozcan y conseguir que tengan una mejor comprension de ella quienes ya la hayan visto.

From the very beginnings of cinema in America the Western has been a central genre. The hazardous lives of the settlers, their conflict with Native Americans (the Indians), the lawless frontier towns, outlaws and cattle rustlers, all found their way into the new medium of film. Folk heroes and heroines, such as Jesse and Frank James, Wild Bill Hickok, Wyatt Earp, Calamity Jane and Annie Oakley, were all eagerly seized on by filmmakers. Writers, from the very popular to the very literary, from Zane Grey to Owen Wister and James Fennimore Cooper, were plundered for storylines. The Western became popular worldwide too because it offered escape, adventure, stunning landscapes and romance; also themes that concerned people everywhere including survival, law and order, defence of family, and dreams of a new and better world.David Carters book, The Western, starts with an introduction to the real American West and its famous historical figures, and traces the development of the genre from popular literature, through the early silent films, the sound era, the Golden Age of classic Westerns, TV and spaghetti westerns, to the self-reflexive and revisionist Westerns of recent decades. This book provides a basic work of reference for all the major directors and noteworthy films of the genre. The great Hollywood directors are all here, such as John Ford, Howard Hawks, Raoul Walsh, Michael Curtiz, Sam Peckinpah and Henry Hathaway, and great stars including John Wayne, James Stewart, Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck, Jane Russell and Clint Eastwood.

In the mid-sixties Eastwoods Dollars trilogy with director Sergio Leone - A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - gunned down all opposition at the world box office and created a visceral new brand of anti-Western, dubbed Spaghetti Westerns by critics bemused by the films popularity. Spaghetti Westerns cynical morality tales of revenge, betrayal and mercenary avarice were filmed in the desert badlands of Almeria, Southern Spain.

Mi yo adolescente creció metido en un armario, creyendo que Clive Barker era la única persona abiertamente gay que se dedicaba a mi género favorito: el terror. Por suerte, estaba equivocado, y la presencia de personajes LGTBIQ+ en el cine fantastico ha sido una constante a lo largo de su historia y no ha hecho sino aumentar en las ultimas decadas.Ademas de pasar a formar parte del imaginario colectivo, monstruos cinematograficos procedentes de la literatura gotica como Dracula, la criatura de Frankenstein o Mr. Hyde fueron algunos de los primeros ejemplos de representaciones queer en la gran pantalla, ligadas siempre a lo diferente, a lo raro y a todo aquello que iba en contra de lo heteronormativo.Del predominio de cliches negativos lesbianas con tendencias psicopatas, sanguinarias vampiras bisexuales, asesinos travestidos y un largo etcetera a la plena aceptacion de la diversidad, Scream Queer propone un amplio recorrido por la evolucion de la representacion LGTBIQ+ en el genero fantastico a traves del analisis de cientos de peliculas, expiando ademas los traumas y contando las vivencias personales que han marcado a quien esto escribe: un marica obsesionado con el cine de terror.

Documentary films are the rock and roll of our times. Why are they made? Who are in the tribe of documentary film-makers? Do their films really change the world? Eighteen years ago, Nick Fraser created BBC Storyville, producing films that won Oscars, BAFTAs, and Peabody Awards. He found film-makers from all across the world covering important subjects in documentaries. In Say What Happened he describes the frenzied, intense world of documentary film-making, tracing its history back to the early pioneers, such as Dziga Vertov and his ground-breaking Man with a Movie Camera. The book deals with the British documentary tradition founded by John Grierson, and discusses the work of American masters such as the Maysles brothers, Frederick Wiseman and D.A. Pennebaker, as well as Europeans such as Marcel Ophuls, Claude Lanzmann, Chris Marker, and Werner Herzog. He interviews acclaimed documentary film-makers and discusses the work of Ken Burns, Errol Morris, and Joshua Oppenheimer, among others across the globe, as well as listing his top one-hundred documentaries, and where readers can watch them. In a world beset with fake news, he argues documentaries are better at getting at the verities about life and death and that the new journalism will come from films made using new technology.
