A commercially successful Australian director of over eighteen feature films and documentaries, including My Brilliant Career (1979), Gillian Armstrong is an early, notable example of a woman director connecting with mass audiences. Armstrong's films are unique in their aesthetic expression and in the ethical relationships that they depict, framed through the language of gender inclusivity and due in part to her foregrounding of original, complex and nuanced female characters. This important book fills a gap in the literature on women screen practitioners and is a long overdue response to demands for new insight into the work of this significant director.

Dans un texte intitulé « Le cinéma sans cinéma », Alain Fleischer évoque sa relation à ce moyen d’expression pendant quelques cinquante ans, dans une grande indépendance vis-à-vis du milieu du cinéma, et des modes de production traditionnels. En sous-titrant Fragment autobiographique 10, ses réflexions et ses souvenirs - dans la suite de ces « Fragments autobiographiques » disséminés au fil de ses livres -, le cinéaste devient écrivain, rappelant qu’il n’a cessé d’interroger les images à la lumière des mots et les mots à la lumière des images. Cinéaste, écrivain et photographe, Alain Fleischer est également le directeur du Fresnoy, une école d’art qu’il a fondé en 1997 à la demande du Ministère de la Culture. Avec quelques trois cent cinquante films à son actif, c'est un artiste de renommée mondiale qu’on ne se lasse pas de (re)découvrir. Ce coffret rassemble ses meilleures productions qui nous permettent d’apprécier à sa juste valeur le talent de cet homme.

Chasing the Light is Oliver Stone's intimate and ground-breaking filmmaker's memoir - and a razor-sharp insider's tour of Hollywood during its 70s and 80s upheaval.With disarming honesty, he takes us from a childhood on New York's Upper East Side through the combat zones of Vietnam, inside the clandestine worlds of Chinatown's gang lords and Miami's cocaine trade - and behind the glittering and often drug-addled Los Angeles movie society scene.And from Midnight Express through Scarface, and Salvador he discovers his own dogged determination, a marked rebellious streak and a drive to make controversial films that matter. How he strung together the realistic, radical and ultimately box office smash Platoon is in itself a 10-year adventure of financial intrigue, perseverance and near-death experiences that culminates in the depths of the Philippine jungle with Stone pushing himself, the crew and young cast almost beyond breaking point.Written fearlessly with intense detail and colour, this is what it's like to make films on the edge.

ReFocus: The Films of Rachid Bouchareb is the first book-length study of the internationally recognized director’s films. Bouchareb was one of France’s first filmmakers of North African descent and his career as a director and producer now spans over 35 years. Remarkably varied in their themes, formal elements and narrative settings, Bouchareb’s work has engaged with and reflected on a variety of crucial social, political and historical issues; from the role of colonial troops in the French army during the Second World War, to terrorism in contemporary Europe. This volume examines Bouchareb’s films from an interdisciplinary perspective, exploring key influences on his output and considering new theoretical approaches to his filmmaking.
