Autour des années soixante, des cinéastes tentent de se rapprocher des personnes filmées et de donner la parole aux protagonistes dans un son direct et synchrone. Partant du point de vue des techniciens, ce livre explore les differentes manieres dont les cineastes du direct accompagnent levolution des techniques et des mentalites a lOffice national du film du Canada. Basee sur une exploration des archives techniques, la rencontre avec des temoins et une analyse de la production de lOffice, dont les films oublies du Canadien-français Pierre Petel ou les classiques du cinema quebecois Les Raquetteurs ou Pour la suite du Monde, ce livre replace levolution legere et synchrone dans lhistoire du cinema et des techniques. En effet, cest en cherchant a sadapter a la realite filmee, au lieu dorganiser le reel en fonction de la camera comme dans les cinemas classiques, que les cineastes provoquent une evolution legere et synchrone des dispositifs, sinscrivant ainsi dans une tendance alternative du cinema. Plus largement, les techniques legeres et synchrones participent a lelectrification de limage audiovisuelle : dun cote, cette evolution est rendue possible par la regulation des moteurs electriques et lenregistrement magnetique du son. De lautre, certaines des innovations proposees par les techniciens du direct (time code, lentilles, ergonomie des camescopes ou micro-trottoir) servent de base au developpement de la video legere dans les annees soixante-dix, modifiant notre conception de la technique audiovisuelle.

A born storyteller, Troy Cassar-Daley has at last turned his talent to sharing his own inspiring life.Troys achievements are many, and perhaps the finest may be his ability to make us listen to his heart. Joy McKeanFor the first time, Troy talks about his early life - how his parents divorce changed things for him, about missing his Dad and growing up in Grafton surrounded by the warmth and love of his mother, Irene, his Nan and Pop and his extended Indigenous family. A larrikin at heart, Troy includes all the highs and lows on his path to stardom: the thrill of performing on stage at the Tamworth Music Festival with Jimmy Little when he was just 15; the excitement of heading off on tour with Brian Young and then discovering just how lonely life on the road could be; his first record deal; playing with the greats Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Slim Dusty; his first album Beyond the Dancing, which blended his indigenous heritage with his rural background; meeting the woman who would steal his heart; recording in Nashville; and, finally, releasing True Believer, the album that really launched his career. The multiple Golden Guitar, APRA, ARIA and Deadlys winner also lets us in on some of the life lessons he learned the hard way, lessons that kept this prodigiously talented Aussie on the straight and narrow (most of the time). Things I Carry Around, is the warm, genuine, and inspiring story of a young indigenous Australian who had a dream and turned that dream into reality. Troys a true gentleman, warm and genuine, always a pleasure to be around. He sings straight from his heart and straight from the heart of his country. Paul Kelly

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERA handsome six footer with a warm and engaging personality, Davie Jones has all it takes to get to the show business heights including . . . talent. David Bowie at 17 in May, 1964 writing his own press biography. Respected arts commentator Paul Morley, one of the team who curated the highly successful retrospective exhibition for the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, David Bowie Is . . . constructs the definitive story of Bowie that explores how he worked, played, aged, structured his ideas, invented the future and entered history as someone who could and would never be forgotten. Morley will capture the greatest moments of Bowies career; from the recording studio with the likes of Brian Eno and Tony Visconti; to iconic live performances from the 1970s, 80s and 90s, as well as the various encounters and artistic relationships he developed with rock luminaries John Lennon, Lou Reed and Iggy Pop.

Quelle influence la conservation et la patrimonialisation du cinema a eu sur les createurs de cinema ? Comment ces uvres participent dune forme de valorisation singuliere du patrimoine filmique ? Quels sont les nouveaux defis des cinematheques et des archives dans la conservation et la restauration du patrimoine filmique ? Quels roles jouent les nouveaux supports dans la conservation de certaines zones oubliees du patrimoine cinematographique ? Sans avoir la pretention depuiser les multiples ramifications de ces questions pressantes, vastes et complexes, cet ouvrage voudrait poser quelques jalons dune reflexion plus que jamais necessaire sur lavenir de la memoire des archives cinematographiques et audiovisuelles.

A bullet-riddled body floats in the pool of a faded screen star. A desperate wife and a crafty insurance man mix lust with murder. Two musicians flee Prohibition gangsters by joining an all-girl band. A likeable loser climbs the corporate ladder by pimping for his bosses. Only in the skewed world of Billy Wilder would such situations provide the context for classic cinema: Sunset Boulevard, Double Indemnity, Some Like It Hot, and The Apartment.Over a career longer than that of any other celebrated film-maker, Wilder has co written and directed an enduring body of work noted for its range, intelligence, wit, and bracing, if off-kilter, morality. A master of many genres, the six-time Oscar winner has given the world classic comedies (Ninotchka, The Seven Year Itch), romances (Sabrina, Love In The Afternoon), and dramas (The Lost Weekend, Stalag 17). Even movies once dismissed as failures (Ace In The Hole; Kiss Me, Stupid) now attract admiring fans. Examine the many sides of Billy Wilder: writer, producer, director, quipster, iconoclast, mensch.Whats in this book? As well as an introductory essay, each of Wilders Hollywood films is individually reviewed and analyzed. The reference section assesses books on Wilder. Dont end up with the fuzzy end of the lollipop or the squeezed-out tube of toothpaste! Discover a great filmmaker-or get to know him even better.
