In 1970, a bold group of planners led by Raymond K. Shepardson formed the Playhouse Square Association, a nonprofit...

ISBN: 9781476665900 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The original animated series (1983-1985) was the first based on an action figure, and the cult classic Masters of the Universe (1987) was the first toy-inspired live-action feature film. But it wasn't...

Cinema and the Second Sex: Women's Filmmaking in France in the 1980s and 1990s
ISBN: 9781474290777 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Women's filmmaking in France has been a source of both delight and despair.

This incisive study provides an informative, critical guide to this major body of work, exploring the boundaries between personal films (intimate psychological dramas relating to key stages in life) and...
