Vampires Race And Transnational Hollywoods

Vampires Race And Transnational Hollywoods written by Dale Hudson and has been published by Edinburgh University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2017-05-18 with Performing Arts categories.

The figure of the vampire serves as both object and mode of analysis for more than a century of Hollywood filmmaking. Never dying, shifting shape and moving at unnatural speed, as the vampire renews itself by drinking victims' blood, so too does Hollywood renew itself by consuming foreign styles and talent, moving to overseas locations, and proliferating in new guises. In Vampires, Race, and Transnational Hollywoods, Dale Hudson explores the movement of transnational Hollywood's vampires, between low-budget quickies and high-budget franchises, as it appropriates visual styles from German, Mexican and Hong Kong cinemas and off-shores to Canada, Philippines, and South Africa. As the vampire's popularity has swelled, vampire film and television has engaged with changing discourses around race and identity not always addressed in realist modes. Here, teen vampires comfort misunderstood youth, chador-wearing skateboarder vampires promote transnational feminism, African American and Mexican American vampires recover their repressed histories. Looking at contemporary hits like True Blood, Twilight, Underworld and The Strain, classics such as Universal's Dracula and Dracula, and miscegenation melodramas like The Cheat and The Sheik, the book reconfigures Hollywood historiography and tradition as fundamentally transnational, offering fresh interpretations of vampire media as trans-genre sites for political contestation.

Hollywood S Canada

Hollywood S Canada written by Pierre Berton and has been published by McClelland & Stewart this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1975 with History categories.

"Between 1907 and 1975, Hollywood movie-makers made 575 movies specifically set (although not usually filmed) in Canada. That statistic will startle those Canadians who have been told that foreign audiences won't sit still for a film about their country. As Pierre Berton points out in this explosive, tragic, and often funny book, the opposite is true. Movies about Canada have been making money in international markets for half a century. But the Canada that has been shown to the world is very different from the real Canada; and the Canadian image - now firmly fixed in the minds of three generations of moviegoers - is a caricature of the real thing. If Canadians have no sense of their own identity, it is partly because American movie-makers have distorted and blurred that identity. And if foreigners think of this country as a land of snow swept forests and mountains, devoid of larger cities and peopled by happy-go-lucky French-Canadians, wicked half-breeds, wild trappers and loggers, savage Indians and, above all, grim-jawed Mounties - that's because Hollywood has pictured us that way. Berton, who has examined the plot of almost every movie made about this country, finds that the Hollywood image of Canada and its people have been consistent since the first one-reel silent firms were made in 1907. The prairies are rarely shown almost every movie is an outdoor film set in the wilderness- the only city mentioned with any regularity is Montreal. The "Great Woods" begin at the border and stretch on the Artic Circle. The Canadian frontier is seen by Hollywood as an extension of the American frontier-lawless and violent, peopled by gunslingers, and studded with gambling halls and saloons. The Mountie is treated as an American frontier marshal in a red coat. The Klondike and the Yukon Territory are totally confused with Alaska. Our great historical adventures, when they are dealt with at all-the building of the Canadian Pacific, for example, and the Riel Rebellion- are distorted to the point where they are unrecognizable. Cecil B DeMille's production pf North West Mounted Police was hailed by international critics- including Canadians- as the most authentic pictures ever made about the Mounties; but, as Berton shows in fascinating detail, DeMille turned history topsy-turvy and managed to give the impression that the Mounties themselves had okayed the firm. Berton's research, which has taken him from London to Hollywood, and which makes use of hitherto unpublished material from the files of the RCMP and the Public Archives of Canada, reveals in detail the successful efforts of the Hollywood lobby to quash a quota system for films in post-war Canada- a system that might have given us a native -born movie industry. The book is studded with illuminating discoveries: a plea from Rudolph Friml's office to Pierre Elliot Trudeau begging him not to destroy " the beautiful legend of Rose Marie' (The author points out there are four legends , all totally different ); an RCMP commissioner's wistful telegram to Hollywood; "Mounted police would appreciate being left alone;" the Yukon River steamboat sequence slipped into a movie about the Dionne Quintuplets: the trails and tribulations of an ex-Mountie acting as technical adviser in Hollywood. These are some of the surprises in a book which is not only an exciting, revelatory narrative of more than sixty years of exploitation but also a work of careful scholarship"-Publisher

Canada S Hollywood

Canada S Hollywood written by Ted Magder and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1993 with Performing Arts categories.

"The development of the feature film industry in Canada has been uncertain and difficult, with problems usually attributed to the country's small population and US domination of the movie industry. Ted Magder goes beyond these obvious influences in his examination of Canada's state policies as they affected the production of Canadian feature films from the First World War to the present. He presents a study focusing on the interplay between government policy and the dynamics of the industry, and undertakes an examination of cultural dependency in Canada. State policies, Magder points out, are related to domestic forces that impinge upon and set limits to policy decisions and their implementation." "In the immediate postwar period, the tone for much of Canada's cultural policies was set by the National Film Board and the recommendations of the Massey Commission. Members of both organizations expressed distaste for films designed to entertain and deemed feature filmmaking unworthy of support. A change of heart took place in the watershed year of 1967 with the passing of the Canadian Film Development Corporation Act, when Canadians finally entered the business of feature film production. Magder considers how this came to pass, what had changed within the industry itself to make feature film production viable, and why the state changed its position from one of neglect to one of support. In the last five chapters, he examines the contradictions and limitations that have bedevilled Canadian feature film production over the last two decades." "In his conclusion, Magder proposes that both the notion of cultural dependency and the goal of public support for cultural production to express national identity need to be re-examined."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

"Film in Canada offers a comprehensive examination of Canadian cinema in its political and cultural contexts. While highlighting the films and filmmakers that have defined the national industry since the 1960s, this book also looks at many of the factors that have influenced Canadian filmmaking, including Canada's ethnic and linguistic diversity, the country's national identity, and the emergence of a global media marketplace. Each chapter explores both historical trends and contemporary examples of a specific topic, allowing the chapters to be used in sequence or independently. With careful annotations, a detailed filmography and bibliography, and a ten-page insert of film stills, this book is ideal for students of Canadian film or of Canadian arts and culture generally."--BOOK JACKET.
