Summary

Global Film Sets explores the pivotal role of film locations in cinematic storytelling, revealing how they shape narratives and influence audience perception. Beyond mere backdrops, these locations actively participate in the film-making process, contributing significantly to a film's overall success. For example, a nondescript suburban house can transform into an iconic setting, deeply impacting viewers. The book traces the evolution of location shooting, from early studio-bound productions to today's globe-trotting epics, highlighting the economic and cultural impact of film tourism on local communities. It presents a unique approach by combining in-depth film analysis with insights into location scouting and management, appealing to film students, enthusiasts, and cultural tourists alike. Drawing upon production notes, interviews, and original fieldwork, the book bridges film studies, geography, and cultural tourism. Beginning with an overview of key concepts, the book progresses through case studies ranging from historical reconstructions to contemporary settings and fantastical environments created through visual effects. It concludes by addressing ethical considerations surrounding location shooting, such as cultural appropriation and environmental impact, providing a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted world of global film sets.

  • France’s Most Famous Palaces: The History and Legacy of Versailles the Louvre and the Tuileries - cover

    France’s Most Famous Palaces:...

    For the French, and those who study their history, Versailles is a symbol of, as Charles Dickens once put it, “the best of times…the worst of times.” It was here that the Sun King, Louis XIV, built a palace worthy of a great nation during a time when peace was, at best, short-lived. It was at Versailles that Russian Tsar Peter the Great studied the palace’s architecture and gardens so that he could recreate them in his home country. Indeed, the greatest minds and artistic geniuses of the later stages of the Renaissance came to Versailles to build and paint, and it was here that Madame de Pompadour and her successor, Madame du Barry, used their wit and beauty to charm a king into doing their bidding. 
    	France, like all European countries, has had its fair share of palaces over time, but none suffered the rise and fall of fortune like the Tuileries. Built by a widow with a flair for architecture, it grew for more than a decade, along with the royal family that it housed. Then, during the French Revolution, it fell from grace with that family and even became a sight of execution, its famous gardens providing the background for the infamous guillotine.  
    	The Louvre's very name conjures up scenes of art and elegance, and of long halls filled with beauty and people strolling through them whispering quietly among themselves about the glories they are witnessing. Even those who have never been to the Louvre know some of its most prized possessions, from ancient statues to Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa”. As the world’s largest museum, the Louvre is unquestionably the cultural highpoint of Paris, a city that has long been considered the cultural center of Europe.

    Travelling is something most of us do perfectly well. It often involves a stroll in the park or sojourn in the sun. 
    Dominic Ryan, for reasons unfamiliar with common sense, is more likely to find himself facing down charging hippos on the Zambezi or tracking angry Namibian cheetahs in a vintage aeroplane. 
    There is little in the way of logic in his backpack as he tumbles into a war zone in Ukraine or tries to save a Malaysian rainforest by chasing bats. 
    Is The Back of Beyond a memoir, travelogue or cry for help? It’s all of the above and by turns fascinating and funny, thrilling and thoughtful. 
    As a wise genie probably once said, wandering and wondering are the same worthy pursuit: it’s just one has an ‘ah!’ and the other an ‘oh!’. 
    If you dare venture to The Back of Beyond, gird your khaki-clad loins for an abundance of both . . . and even the occasional ‘ooh’!
