Book Description
Gordon Brinckle (1915-2007) seemed like an ordinary mana modest and reserved husband and father living in an ordinary 1950s-era home in Middletown, Delaware. Known around town as the night projectionist at the local movie theater, it was the unusual way he spent his days that eventually brought him attention. In his free time, Brinckle meticulously constructed a miniature version of a grand movie palace in his basement. The Shalimar, as he called it, was not only fully functional (with nine authentic movie seats, a projection booth with a 16-mm projector, numerous speakers, and a working organ) but was also lushly designed and decorated with an obsessive attention todetail. Brinckle's "picture palace of renown," as he referred to it, adapted various theater styles of the twentieth century, boasting a marquee that distinctly recalls the 1960s; an auditorium decorated in the "semi-atmospheric" style of the 1930s, bringing the outdoors in through the use of fake foliage and wildlife; and three opulent working curtains. When filmmaker and photographer Kendall Messick, who used to live across the street from the Brinckle family as a boy, became reacquaintedwith his former neighbor during a visit home in 2001, he knew he had to document the theater and its one-of-a-kind creator. In The Projectionist, Messick captures every detail of Brinckle's colorful fantasy world, including Brinckle's original artwork, architectural plans, drawings, and linoleum prints of imaginary movie theaters, ticket stubs, and usher uniform designs. An essay by curator Brooke Davis Anderson of the American Folk ArtMuseum looks at Gordon's work in the context of outsider art, and a foreword by artist, curator, and author Mark Sloandiscusses Messick's photographic work.

Pages : 248
Book Description
Escape the prison without walls A very perceptive joker once said: the only real difference between people is the size of their cages. What he meant, is that humanity is now in a cage, and that this cage imprisons us as individuals to the extent that we have the knowledge, and the personal power to fight against its binding forces. This cage is so well hidden and designed that most either don't know that they are in it, or even care to know about their current imprisonment at all. But this lack of awareness or desire for freedom has a price as most things do, and that price is that the large majority of people will live and die within the boundaries of a three-dimensional prison, a prison without walls, never knowing just how much potential they have; that indeed we are all incredibly magical creatures that can even learn to fly free across the infinite cosmos. Alchemists are people who have awakened to the fact this prison without walls exists, and they have dedicated their lives to escaping it. Their work, their doing, has for the most part been kept a secret from the majority of the human world, with only small portions of this knowledge escaping into the mainstream in the form of riddles, cryptic images, arcane formulas, and hit and miss techniques and methodologies. In this second course book in the trilogy, dedicated to the Alchemical road to immortality, I reveal the way of the projectionist, and the SECRET FORMULA that can allow you to break free from the unseen prison that binds you and most of humanity. This hidden knowledge, along with step-by-step techniques are revealed to you as I show you how to move through the Rooms of the Projectionist. THE REAL KEY TO astral travel, lucid dreams, out of body experiences and ALL altered states of consciousness. Here you will find the TRIUNE FORMULA that can allow you to leave behind the physical body, and break free of the corporeal prison in order to do and see everything that you have ever desired. In this course book you will discover: What the prison without walls is all about How to discover and free the hidden self, the True Self How to project your consciousness beyond your body How to induce altered states of consciousness without ritual, subterfuge, or drugs How to discover any secret, go anywhere, and travel through endless dimensions How to overcome and bind any situation to your power using the art of Cubing How to achieve true enlightenment and unite the inner and outer aspects of the complete individuality The truth about how an Alchemist, as a projectionist, attains immortality...and how you can start this journey yourself! This second part of the trilogy, that started with The Magnum Opus, reveals the truth about the human condition and how to continue the journey towards eventual immortality, a journey that takes you, as a powerful practicing projectionist, on an unmeasurable road past incalculable pleasures and truly alien and awesome vistas beyond all rational understanding. Some have asked why each course is presented as a book. Why not make a video course or some other digital presentation that is more popular in this era? And the reason for this is quite simply: time. I have been around long enough, and my senses have become keen enough to see some of the intricacies of this world. Through such experience and perceptions, I have seen things peak and wane, and I have seen many things lost within the medium of time. Videos and digital formats require complex systems to work and be maintained, and such complex systems are usually the first to fall, or change when exposed to the brutal torrents and extreme pressures of time. But a print book (as well as an ebook for your convenience if you like), is something that you can keep in your personal library for a lifetime with only moderate care.

Book Description
A man of failing reputation, Toss Raymond lives alone by the South Saskatchewan River, near the drought-ruined farm town of Mayford. It’s the summer of 1988, a year since Toss’s marriage went south, and he made a public spectacle of himself by thrashing the neighbour who he wrongly thought had cuckolded him. Now, as he finishes what might be his last year as a high school teacher and the school board gathers grounds for his dismissal, Toss has taken up with two newcomers in town, and neither association is likely to help him appear any more upright. Here in his “summer of sobering first anniversaries,” in a place under siege from both drought and his friend Dewey’s dark inventions, Toss must decide what he will remain true to: his troublesome desire to follow his heart and his imagination, or his idea of “home” — unhistoried, dying, and likely to leave no trace. A dense, rich, and entirely rewarding novel, The Projectionist is original, moving, and surprisingly funny.

The Projectionists
Author: Stephen Barber
Publisher: Diaphanes
ISBN: 9783035802894
Category : Motion picture projection
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Eadweard Muybridge is among the seminal originators of the contemporary world's visual form, with its concentrated image-sequences of bodies in movement and its ocular obsessions. This book examines an almost unknown dimension of Muybridge's work, as a moving-image projectionist, who toured Europe's cities to enthral beyond-capacity audiences with unprecedented projections and who built a moving-image auditorium - long before cinemas were created - in which to project his work at the 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition. That final invention of Muybridge's was both an all-engulfing catastrophe and the vital precursor for the following century's worldwide manias for projection. Based on entirely new research into Muybridge's travels, audiences, auditoria and projectors, this book explores his initiating role in moving-image projection and also maps Muybridge's driving inspiration for subsequent artists and filmmakers preoccupied with the volatile entity of projection, from 1890s Berlin to contemporary Japan, via further spectacular World's Exposition events and cinemas' overheated projection-boxes. The book looks closely at the enigmatic figure of the moving-image projectionist, from its origins in Muybridge's experiments, across glass, celluloid and digital projections, to the contemporary moment. Moving-image projection formed a crucial determinant in the imagining of new corporealities and new urban spaces, through its irrepressible capacity to envision future bodies and cities. The cinema projectionist - a solitary figure of compulsion and restlessness, inhabiting a profession touched with the multiple addictions and deaths of the moving image - was once a pivotal presence for global cinema audiences but is now consigned to near-obsolescence. The book investigates contemporary urban projections as aberrant manifestations derived from Muybridge's first conjurations of projection's power for its spectators. Throughout, the book interrogates.

Collected Stories of Fantasy and Science Fiction
Author: Howard Fast
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 150405606X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
A pair of imaginative science fiction story collections from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Spartacus, Freedom Road, and the Immigrants saga. Over his long and illustrious career, New York Times–bestselling author and prolific novelist Howard Fast proved himself a master of any literary genre, from historical fiction in Spartacus to family generational drama in his bestselling Immigrants saga. Although his output in fantasy and science fiction is relatively modest, these two short story collections, reminiscent of classic Twilight Zone episodes, demonstrate that Fast’s imagination knew no boundaries. The General Zapped an Angel: Nearly forty years after the publication of his first story, “Wrath of Purple,” in the science fiction magazine Amazing Stories, Fast returned to the genre with a set of nine supremely entertaining tales. In this collection, a Vietnam general shoots down what appears to be an angel, a man sells his soul to the devil for a copy of the next day’s Wall Street Journal, and a group of alien beings bestow a mouse with human thought and emotion. “These stories amply display Fast’s considerable gifts as a writer—his clear, concise, often elegant prose, his sense of humor, his gift of sympathetic imagination, and sheer talent as a storyteller.” —Tangent A Touch of Infinity: This follow-up to The General Zapped an Angel offers thirteen brisk and engrossing science fiction stories. In “The Hoop,” a scientist builds a portal to an unknown destination, which the mayor of New York City hijacks to use as a garbage dump until the location’s surprising—and hilarious—revelation. And in “The Egg,” set three thousand years in the future, a research team discovers an egg, something they have never seen before, cryogenically frozen in a nuclear bunker. “Fast, a master of economy . . . spins his stories quickly and most effectively.” —Associated Press

Post-Production and the Invisible Revolution of Filmmaking
Author: George Larkin
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429960646
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
Post-Production and the Invisible Revolution of Filmmaking studies the discourses surrounding post-production, as well as the aesthetic effects of its introduction during the 1920s and 1930s, by exploring the philosophies and issues faced by practitioners during this transitional, transformative period. The introduction of post-production during the transition from silent cinema to the synchronized sound era in the 1920s American studio system resulted in what has been a previously unheralded and invisible revolution in filmmaking. Thereafter, a film no longer arose from a live and variable combination of audio and visual in the theater, as occurred during the silent film era, where each exhibition was a singular event. The new system of post-production effectively shifted control of a film’s final form from the theater to the editing room. With this new process, filmmakers could obtain and manipulate an array of audio elements and manufacture a permanent soundtrack. This transition made possible a product that could be easily mass-produced, serving both to transform and homogenize film presentation, fundamentally creating a new art form. With detailed research and analysis and nearly 50 illustrations, this book is the ideal resource for students and researchers of film history and post-production.
