Sci-fi, blaxploitation, cosmic free jazz and radical race politics combine when Sun Ra returns to Earth in his music-powered space ship to battle for the future of the black race. Intentionally created as an homage to the low-budget science fiction films of the 50's and 60's, Space is the Place became a visual embodiment of Sun Ra's Afro-Egyptian myth of salvation in outer space. The special effects, outrageous plot line and apocalyptic message harmonize with the otherworldly score and live performances by one of the most innovative groups in jazz history. The 1974 cult classic is presented in its original uncut form with a CD of the soundtrack.

Dans la vie il y a, paraît-il, des gagnants et des perdants. Les films que nous avons sélectionnés pour cette collection de deux volumes font vraiment partie des gagnants, même si ceux qui ne s’y trouvent pas sont loin d’être des perdants – simplement ils nous plaisaient un peu moins. Ce fut un véritable casse-tête mais, après bien des discussions et débats, TASCHEN a sélectionné ce que nous considérons comme les 100 films les plus éblouissants du 20e siècle. Du film d’horreur au film sentimental, du noir au burlesque, de l'aventure à la tragédie, du film de guerre à la comédie musicale, du western à la Nouvelle Vague, tous les genres sont représentés dans ce recueil varié et divertissant en diable. Metropolis? Bien sûr. Les Temps modernes? Naturellement. Citizen Kane, Les Sept Samouraïs? Évidemment. La Dolce vita, Psychose, Orange mécanique? Plutôt deux fois qu’une. Sans oublier Le Parrain, Annie Hall, Blue Velvet, Pulp Fiction… et bien d'autres joyaux du cinéma, dont certains moins connus, comme Los Olvidados, de Buñuel. Voyez cette collection comme un festival de contrastes, un hommage au septième art, un recueil de chef d’œuvres cinématographiques et une promenade nostalgique à travers l'histoire de la pellicule. Chaque article chronologique comporte un synopsis, l’équipe du film et la distribution, les informations techniques, les biographies des acteurs ou réalisateurs, des détails insolites et une liste des récompenses ainsi que des images arrêtées, des photos du tournage et l’affiche originale de chaque film.

The Australian Film Revival: 70s, 80s, and Beyond explores the matrix of forces – artistic, cultural, economic, political, governmental, and ideological – that gave rise to, shaped, and sustained this remarkable film movement. This engaging new study brings fresh perspectives, insights, and innovative approaches to a variety of films from a diversity of filmmakers. Areas of focus include the complex and contentious subjects of masculinity, femininity and feminism, the maternal, as well as the Indigenous road film and the protean Australian gothic. During the formative years of the revival, Australian films seemed to emerge from out of the blue in terms of global film history, with many features including Picnic at Hanging Rock (l975), Caddie (l976), The Last Wave (l977), The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith (l978), and My Brilliant Career (l979) receiving international distribution and enthusiastic critical acclaim with strong box office results. By the time the film revival was in full swing, not only did Australian audiences flock to theaters to see “homegrown” films, but the quantity of Australian films on overseas screens was so high that ardent critics declared this outpouring an Australian “New Wave.” The eyes of the world had turned to a compelling and largely unknown culture.

Casablanca is one of the most celebrated Hollywood films of all time, its iconic romance enshrined in collective memory across generations. Drawing from archival materials, industry trade journals, and cultural commentary, Barbara Klinger explores the history of Casablanca's circulation in the United States from the early 1940s to the present by examining its exhibition via radio, repertory houses, television, and video. By resituating the film in the dynamically changing industrial, technological, and cultural circumstances that have defined its journey over eight decades, Klinger challenges our understanding of its meaning and reputation as both a Hollywood classic and a cult film. Through this single-film survey, Immortal Films proposes a new approach to the study of film history and aesthetics and, more broadly, to cinema itself as a medium in constant interface with other media as a necessary condition of its own public existence and endurance.
