Brazilian Cinema Golden Age

Unlike the United States, Brazil historically confronted more problems with the new art form: financial difficulties affe...

Traffic Lights Urban Poor
2,618 wordsFor the past four decades or so African cinema has been construed by critics as a mode of film discourse that is understood historically but defined artistically: that is, a cinema concerned with information brought to light less by formal techniques than by an implicit world view.

Space And Time Thomas R
1,973 wordsTiticut Follies For over 30 years Frederick Wiseman has trained his camera on American life and institutions, having no obvious polemical stance but merely observing, sometimes in minute detail, what he finds. He shoots for many hours, so that his subjects begin to ignore the camera, and edits the collected material for much longer. The surprise is that what he finds is often nothing like what we, or even he, might expect. (reserves. library) Wiseman have been criticised deeply for his first and...
