From Edison to the iPod, from the Warner Brothers to George Lucas, the story of how the movies became America's favorite form of escapist entertainment - and retained their hold on our imaginations for more than a century - is a story of innovators prevailing again and again over skeptics who prefer to preserve the status quo. Inventing the Movies unspools the never-before-told story of the innovators who shaped Hollywood: how a chance meeting at the Saratoga Race Track led to the end of black-and-white movies ... how Bing Crosby brought you the VCR ... how Walt Disney tamed television ... how a shotgun blast signaled the end of hand-made models and the beginning of digital special effects ... and how even the almighty Morgan Freeman had trouble persuading theater-owners that the Internet wasn't their mortal enemy. Inventing the Movies is an important read not just for fans of Hollywood's history, but for innovators trying to make change happen in any industry.

Since the release of his breakout film Irréversible in 2002, Gaspar Noé (b. 1963) has been labeled the principal provocateur of twenty-first-century French cinema. While many of the filmmaker’s complex and daring works have been reduced by his critics to their (innumerable) depictions of hallucinogens, violence, and unsimulated sexual intercourse—the latter rendered into vertiginous 3D with his film Love—other viewers have remained in steady awe of Noé’s dizzying camerawork, immersive visuality, and expressive editing. Noé’s cinema greets the short attention spans of digital life with works of extremities and endurance for performers and spectators alike. This first-of-its-kind collection of interviews documents Noé’s engagement with the feverish reception of his work and received ideas about his life and politics. Collecting conversations with critics, scholars, and artists, including fellow directors Matthew Barney, Abel Ferrara, and Harmony Korine, Noé speaks about his process as a writer, director, cinematographer, and editor. Also examined are his engagement with developing film technology and his fascination and indebtedness to past filmmakers such as Pier Paolo Pasolini, Jean Eustache, Stanley Kubrick, and Sam Peckinpah. Noé discusses life in Buenos Aires and emigrating to France, his use of irony and melodrama, and his interest in documentary practices. Throughout, Noé explores his continuing examination of faith and secularism, body and mind, and the politics of spectatorship. Editor Geoffrey Lokke’s introduction provides a close reading of Noé in conversation, assessing what has changed over the years in terms of the filmmaker’s aesthetics and presentation of self, as well as what Noé is reticent to articulate about his life and art.

NAYOLA, the digital art book of the movie, shares with the reader a nine-year journey through the creative process of developing and producing this animated feature movie. The digital book is organized into twelve chapters that initially refer the reader to the process of adapting the script, based on two literary works written by two renowned African writers. First, a short story, written by José Eduardo Agualusa, an Angolan writer, then a play, written by José Eduardo Agualusa and Mia Couto, a Mozambican writer. By accessing the links in the digital book, the reader can read the short story, then the play and finally the script. Understand and enjoy the way in which two plots emerged in the script, one based on the play, and the other on an original journey – exterior and interior – of the main character throughout the movie. Few books on cinematographic creative processes give the reader so many possibilities. Being a movie set in Angola, a country in southern Africa, taking place in the final phase of the rather unknown Angolan Civil War, and in the first years of peace that followed the book shares with the reader information about these two consecutive wars that lasted 40 years. Ancestral Angola, its colonial period and the present. The way in which the history, culture, peoples, languages, and ecosystems of this beautiful country were incorporated into the movie, in a visual and sound narrative, poetic and dazzling. Afterwards, the digital book reveals to the reader how a fiction with strong roots in Angolan reality was created. It describes the importance of the repérages carried out, the long development phase associated with detailed investigations into all aspects of the movie. From African masks to geomorphology, flora and fauna, to the customs and rituals of the indigenous peoples of the desert, from popular music to the hip-hop movement, the matriarchal structure of Angolan society to the intervention of women in the Civil War. Professional and amateur Angolan actors, poets and musicians, recorded the voices of all characters in Luanda. The reader can see interviews with the three voice actors that created the voices of the three protagonists of the movie through links available in the digital book. Six excellent Angolan musicians composed and performed the songs that make up the movie soundtrack. The script incorporates memories, poems and songs by the Angolan voice actors. The reader will be able to see and hear them through links available in the digital book. The digital book is profusely illustrated and, many hyperlinks, allow the reader to consult from the first graphic studies of the characters and backgrounds, to their final version, colour tests, animation tests, the storyboard and the animatic. The reasons that led to the choice of the animation techniques used in the movie are shared with the reader: the plot in the Past in 2D and in archival footage, the plot in the Present in 3D, oneiric sequences in animated painting. Finally, the producer and co-producers tell the reader about the work processes of this international co-production that involved five countries, Portugal, Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Angola, and more than 100 collaborators. We believe that the digital book will be very interesting for film students and professionals, especially animation cinema, animation movie fans and spectators in general. These stories, people and places that inspired us; we hope they inspire you too.

Interviews with several famous mystery writers are included, with their comments on how filmmakers treated their work.

In recent years, gold-standard experimental evidence on the benefits of reading fiction has exploded. Why do we love stories from books, TV and movies, and videogames? What do fictional stories have to do with stories from real life? How do stories impact our own and our children's brain development, reading skills, social understanding, and well-being? In How Stories Change Us, Elaine Reese integrates the latest scientific research on stories from fiction (books, TV shows and movies, videogames) with stories from real life (our personal experiences, including on social media) across the lifespan. The book offers an authoritative yet accessible overview of the new interdisciplinary science of stories, told by a developmental psychologist and autobiographical memory expert with over thirty years of experience conducting research on stories. Throughout, Reese adopts a developmental perspective by tracing the impact of stories from pre-birth to old age. Drawing upon illustrative examples from her 20-year longitudinal study Origins of Memory as well as from her own life, Reese synthesizes cutting-edge research on the benefits and pitfalls of stories and offers practical tips for parents, teachers, librarians, and policymakers. Reese concludes that people have a preferred fictional story delivery system, whether it's reading, watching, or gaming, and she advocates for a more integrated science of stories to allow us to better choose the stories we consume and tell.
