This set of conversations is essentially addressed to those who like storytelling. These are talks with a strong cinematographic slant, not only because their motto is cinema in Mozambique, but mainly because how the memories that inhabit that space are revealed is also often formulated through images that have movement. Abrir os Gomos do Tempo: Conversas Sobre Cinema em Moçambique (Opening the Buds of Time: Conversations About Cinema in Mozambique) is also for those who, like us, are happy to hear the line, "another world is possible!" again. It has, in our opinion, the beauty and strength of the words of those who believe in new life possibilities. It opens with a foreword by Nataniel Ngomane and features a series of conversations with key personalities in the history of Mozambican cinema: Américo Soares, Faria de Almeida, Gabriel Mondlane, Jean-Luc Godard, João Ribeiro, José Cardoso, Licinio Azevedo, Lopes Barbosa, Luís Carlos Patraquim, Pedro Pimenta, Ruy Guerra and Sol de Carvalho. The interviews were led by Ana Cristina Pereira, Diana Manhiça, Lurdes Macedo, Maria do Carmo Piçarra, Rosa Cabecinhas, Sheila Khan and Sílvia Vieira. The book ends with a speech by José Luís Cabaço, given in 1980, when he was minister of information in Mozambique. This speech is accompanied by an introduction, made by the minister himself, which corresponds to his current reading of that speech as a minister. This book is dedicated to the memory of Joaquim Lopes Barbosa and is simultaneously a heartfelt tribute to all filmmakers who dared to face state censorship. This modest gesture is meant to encourage all people who still face it in various forms. Dictators die, regimes expire, and films remain.

In 1923, Victor Sjöström (1879-1960) got an offer from Goldwyn Pictures to come to Hollywood. This was nothing unusual for a successful European director: - Metro's bring - ing them in by car load - , as Photoplay stated in 1926. At the time, Sjöström was Sweden's most renowned director, who had become world famous for his austere and naturalistic film style. Sjöström stayed in Hollywood for seven years and made nine films. What happened during those years to the characteristic style that he had developed in Sweden? How was it transformed by Hollywood? Did he maintain any of his stylistic particularities from the Swedish period? How were his Hollywood films received by the American and Swedish critics? This portrayal of a European in Hollywood reveals how Sjöström, in adapting to the new production system, integrated and developed various stylistic elements from the Swedish years in a radically different context. Transition and Transformation is the first book-length study dedicated to the films of Victor Sjöström made in Hollywood, which also nuances the picture of the American production system. Victor Sjöström (1879-1960), in Hollywood bekend onder de naam Victor Seastrom, was ongetwijfeld een van de meest getalenteerde filmregisseurs van de stomme film. Door de focus op meesterwerken als The Scarlet Letter en The Wind, met tevens aandacht voor films die Sjöström in Zweden maakte voordat hij naar Hollywood vertrok (waaronder als verloren gegaan beschouwde filmfragmenten), analyseert de auteur Sjöströms sobere en naturalistische stijl en de veranderingen die diens manier van regisseren onderging tijdens zijn verblijf in Hollywood.

Wilfred Bion's theories of dreaming, of the analytic situation, of reality and everyday life, and even of the contact between the body and the mind offer very different, and highly fruitful, perspectives on lived experience. Yet very little of his work has entered the field of visual culture, especially film and media studies. Kelli Fuery offers an engaging overview of Bion's most significant contribution to psychoanalysis- his theory of thinking- and demonstrates its relevance for why we watch moving images.

Lo común es que hoy nadie menor de treinta años pueda evocar la primera imagen de televisión que recuerda por el simple hecho de que se es espectador de televisión desde los primeros meses de edad. Antes de que cuaje la caliza de la memoria, la impronta de la televisión queda marcada en esa materia que conforma luego el manantial de toda imaginaciόn. La propia inteligencia no se entiende a si misma sin ese material que es parte del sistema de aproximación al mundo. Del mismo modo que la arqueología va sacando a flote siglos y milenios del paso de los humanos por la tierra, el recuerdo quiere sacar de ese tiempo de su primera edad que no puede medirse las explicaciones del mecanismo con que percibimos el mundo, pero hay cosas que no fueron aprendizaje porque no había conciencia sino experiencia pura. Hay que sacarlo entonces de la imaginaciόn.Como me ocurre con el cine; porque debo haber sido llevado con frecuencia antes de lo que puedo recordar. Por más que trato de concentrarme pa.
