Book Description
El ayer de hoy es la vida de dos seres que en su debido tiempo creyeron haber encontrado el amor de sus vidas. Quizas fue amor a primera vista o quizas fue el destino quien los puso en el mismo camino de la vida y ambos sin saberlo vivieron un idilio que tambien seria el destino el que se encargaria de ponerlos frente a frente con lo inesperado. Es el amor de Alejandro y de Erin, un amor simple, pero profundo, un amor que a pesar del tiempo y las circunstancias no conocio el final. Sin embargo, las condiciones en la cuales ese amor crecio fueron mas que complicadas. Alejandro y Erin nunca perdieron la fe en ese amor, pero la vida les determino caminos alternos. ?Es que acaso fue un verdadero amor, o fue tan solo un espejismo de amor? No hay ninguna duda de que aquel amor que florecio en un secreto que ambos decidieron mantener tambien fue ese mismo secreto que quizas lo llevo a lo imprevisto. Nunca hubo un verdadero adios. El adios nunca se dio porque simplemente ambos nunca creyeron en ese adios. Ambos se habian jurado un amor para toda la vida, eso fue para Alejandro y para Erin el amor de ayer y el amor de hoy, el hacer mantener vivo lo que siempre ellos creyeron, un amor sin final.

Blood Cinema
Author: Marsha Kinder
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520913479
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 572
Book Description
In this innovative synthesis of film history and cultural analysis, Marsha Kinder examines the films of such key directors as Buñuel, Saura, Erice, and Almodóvar, as well as works from the popular cinema and television, exploring how they manifest political and cultural tensions related to the production of Spanish national identity within a changing global context. Concentrated on the decades from the 1950s to the 1990s, Kinder's work is broadly historical but essentially conceptual, moving backward and forward in time, drawing examples from earlier films and from works of art and literature, and providing close readings of a wide range of texts. Her questioning and internationalizing of the "national cinema" concept and her application of contemporary critical theory—especially insights from feminism, Marxism, psychoanalysis, cultural studies, and discourse theory—distinguish Blood Cinema from previous film histories. The author also makes use of a variety of sources within Spain such as the commentaries on Spanish character and culture by Unamunov and others, the contemporary debate over the restructuring of Spanish television. Kinder's book moves Spanish cinema into the mainstream of film studies by demonstrating that a knowledge of its history alters and enriches our understanding of world cinema. The interactive CD-ROM is available from CINE-DISCS, 2021 Holly Hill Terrace, Los Angeles, CA 90068, (213) 876-7678.

The Cuban Filmography
Author: Alfonso J. García Osuna
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476605319
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
On January 24, 1897, an event took place that would change Cuban culture forever: the first moving pictures were shown in Havana. A couple of weeks later, on February 7, the first movie was filmed on the island. Since then, cinematography and Cuba have shared peculiar and innate connections, as their beginnings roughly coincide and Cubans are living in both the age of independence and revolution and the age of film. This work is a filmography of every Cuban film (including documentaries, shorts and cartoons) released from 1897, the first year films were shown and made in Cuba, through 2001. Each entry gives the original title of the film, the English translation of it, director, production company or companies, year of release, black and white or color, total running time, writing credits if the film is based on a story or novel, animation credits if the film is a cartoon, music credits if music has been written specifically for the film, cast credits, and a synopsis and short critical evaluation. The work also provides comments on the relationship between Cuban film and history, and the changes that have taken place over the years in themes, topics, methods, and other aspects of filmmaking in Cuba.

Basque Cinema
Author: Rob Stone
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0857729683
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Cinema has always been a vital medium for articulating the Basque region's unique identity and politics. The first definitive study of Basque cinema, this book provides a systematic analysis of the key Basque films, directors and cinematic institutions. Its narrative moves from the romanticised Basque Country travelogues of Pathe to the coded oppositional aesthetics of Franco-era films; from the post-Franco 'new wave' supported by regional government funding to the boom in auteurist cinema during the 1980s and 1990s. It also charts the contemporary impact of the film institute Basque Filmoteca and television channel Euskal Telebista in producing and disseminating Basque-language films. Based on archival research, close readings of films and in-depth interviews with influential figures in the Basque film scene, this book is essential reading for world film scholars and cultural historians.

Guide to the Cinema of Spain
Author: Marvin D'Lugo
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313370176
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
This guide to Spanish film documents the film industry's interpretation of the isolating effects of the cultural traditionalism of the early twentieth century to the expanding international popularity of such films as Trueba's Belle Epoque, Aranda's Amantes, and Bigas Luna's Jamón, Jamón, and such actors as Victoria Abril, Carmen Maura, and Antonio Banderas. This is the first volume in a new Greenwood series that discusses, historically and critically, films, directors, and actors in film industries throughout the world. Each volume will include a detailed historical introduction and will provide an in-depth treatment of the most important films and individuals involved in the industry. End-of-entry bibliographies provide sources for further reading and appendixes provide additional useful information. The Guides will be valuable to scholars, students, and film buffs. Spanish cinema is in many ways a microcosm of the tensions and conflicts that have shaped the evolution of the nation over the course of this century. Spanish film as a cultural institution is rarely divorced from the political and social currents that have shaped the larger Spanish culture torn as it was between tendencies of localism and internationalism. It languished in industrial and artistic underdevelopment for many years under Franco; it is now, however, experiencing international recognition while remaining rooted in the specificity of its own popular cultural styles.
