Abstract

Bringing alive a remarkable moment in American cultural history, Scott MacDonald tells the colorful story of how a small, backyard organization in the San Francisco Bay Area emerged in the 1960's and evolved to become a major force in the development of independent cinema. Drawing from extensive conversations with men and women crucial to Canyon Cinema, from its newsletter Canyon Cinema news, and from other key sources, MacDonald offers a lively chronicle of the life and times of this influential, idiosyncratic film exhibition and distribution collective. His book features many primary documents that are as engaging and relevant now as they were when originally published, including essays, poetry, experimental writing, and drawings.

Abstract

Mouvement d'inspiration littéraire et artistique né aux États-Unis, dans les années 1950, à l'initiative de William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg et Jack Kerouac, la Beat Generation a profondément influencé la création contemporaine. Le beau livre revient sur dix-huit années explosives, de New York, en passant par Los Angeles et San Francisco, jusqu'au Mexique, Tanger et Paris. L'ouvrage met particulièrement en avant le séjour parisien des écrivains de la Beat Generation, une étape essentielle. Les nombreux documents reproduits (photos, manuscrits, pochettes de disques, dessins et peintures ...) témoignent de l'euphorie créative des membres du groupe, ainsi que de la pluridisciplinarité du mouvement (arts visuels, littérature, jazz, poésie sonore ...). Sous la direction de Philippe-Alain Michaud, l'ouvrage propose différents essais des plus grands spécialistes du sujet. Une dizaine d'entretiens inédits avec des protagonistes du mouvement, ainsi que des extraits de textes et poèmes (Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, William Burroughs, notamment) viennent enrichir le catalogue.

Abstract

"Slow Fade to Black completes Richard B. Jewell's richly detailed two-part history of the RKO film studio, which began with RKO Radio Pictures: A Titan Is Born, published in 2012. This second volume charts the studio's fortunes, which peaked during World War II, declined in the post-war period, and finally collapsed in the 1950s. With unparalleled access to archival materials, Jewell chronicles the period from 1942 to the company's demise in 1957. Some of the towering figures associated with the studio were Howard Hughes, Orson Welles, Charles Koerner, Val Lewton, Jane Russell, and Robert Mitchum. In addition to its colorful cast of characters, the RKO narrative features key moments in entertainment history: Hollywood collaboration with Washington, film noir, censorship, HUAC, the rise of independent film production, and the impact of television on film. Taken as a whole, Jewell's two-volume study represents the most substantial and insightful exploration of the Hollywood studio system to date"--Provided by publisher.
