Sinopsis

Cameras in Film explores the profound relationship between camera technology and the evolution of filmmaking. This book argues that advancements in cameras haven't just recorded images; they've actively shaped cinematic aesthetics, narrative possibilities, and cultural impact. Early cinema relied on static cameras and theatrical framing, but innovative technologies like lightweight 16mm cameras and high-resolution digital sensors, allowed filmmakers to experiment with handheld shots and unconventional angles. The development of lenses that could see in near darkness also expanded creative possibilities. 

 
The book examines the mechanics of image capture, the evolving language of cinematic framing, and the democratization of filmmaking. It begins with the camera obscura and progresses through major technical breakthroughs, analyzing both the technologies and the films that exemplify their innovative use. By drawing from technical manuals, film reviews, and interviews, Cameras in Film offers a comprehensive understanding of how camera technology acts as an active agent in the evolution of cinematic language.

 
The book culminates in a discussion of contemporary filmmaking, exploring the impact of digital cameras, drones, and virtual reality cameras on the future of the medium.

Nora Ephron at the Movies - A...

Ilana Kaplan, Jason Diamond

The first monograph on writer, journalist, and director Nora Ephron, the visionary behind When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, and You’ve Got Mail 
 
Nora Ephron at the Movies offers an unfiltered look at Ephron as a champion of the rom-com and as a feminist Hollywood trailblazer. It explores her life and work by pairing detailed criticism with exclusive interviews with Ephron’s key collaborators, including Andie MacDowell and Jenn Kaytin Robinson, to add color and nuance to her life and legacy. 
 
With her singular voice, Nora Ephron flourished as a dominant force in the entertainment industry, focusing on the idiosyncrasies of romance that were universally relatable. 
 
The women in her stories paralleled reality—the veil was lifted, the glossy sheen removed.  
 
Her protagonists share an unwavering sense of humor about life’s mishaps, and they never take themselves too seriously—like Julie trying to master the art of cooking lobsters in Julie & Julia, Sally’s theatrical fake orgasm in Katz’s deli in When Harry Met Sally, or Rachel perfecting a key lime pie only to throw it in her cheating husband’s face in Heartburn. 
 
Through her keenly self-aware humor and semi-autobiographical stories, Ephron left behind a groundbreaking legacy as a beloved journalist, essayist, screenwriter, author, producer, director, and feminist who delivered stories of resilience embedded in sharp wit and upper-crust landscapes. Through that lens, she became emblematic of rom-coms, shifting and redefining conversations around the complexities of relationships and the women who have them.

Seasons for the Soul - Spells of...

Julia van den Bosch

The beauty and magic of nature seen through the eye of a needle.
Colours of flowers and shapes of plants; bleached grass and golden cornfields at harvest time; spiders webs on the structures of decayed seedheads; a metallic green chafer beetle landing on a deep crimson rose; a shooting star. Beguiling discoveries that are part of the world full of secrets, minute details and the sumptuous colours and textures of nature that lend themselves to their translation into rich embroidery.
This embroidered path of the seasons uses hand embroidery in its traditional role of storytelling to share nature's gifts. Each stitch holds the emotion of the moment and keeps a record.
The book tells the story of the companionship and healing offered by the seasons during the enforced isolation of the pandemic, and how it enabled the artist to find beauty in solitude.
