Book Description
Is the cinema, as writers from David Denby to Susan Sontag have claimed, really dead? Contrary to what we have been led to believe, films are better than ever—we just can't see the good ones. Movie Wars cogently explains how movies are packaged, distributed, and promoted, and how, at every stage of the process, the potential moviegoer is treated with contempt. Using examples ranging from the New York Times's coverage of the Cannes film festival to the anticommercial practices of Orson Welles, Movie Wars details the workings of the powerful forces that are in the process of ruining our precious cinematic culture and heritage, and the counterforces that have begun to fight back.

Book Description
In contrast to any talk of "the death of the cinema", this title pronounces the art form alive and well, and still developing in new and unforeseen directions. Using transnational discussions and debates, it shows why the idea of cinephilia is just as relevant today as it ever was.

Book Description
Before his death in 2016, Abbas Kiarostami wrote or directed more than thirty films in a career that mirrored Iranian cinema's rise as an international force. His 1997 feature Taste of Cherry made him the first Iranian filmmaker to win the Palme d'Or at Cannes. Critics' polls continue to place Close-Up (1990) and Through the Olive Trees (1994) among the masterpieces of world cinema. Yet Kiarostami's naturalistic impulses and winding complexity made him one of the most divisive—if influential—filmmakers of his time. In this expanded second edition, award-winning Iranian filmmaker Mehrnaz Saeed-Vafa and film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum renew their illuminating cross-cultural dialogue on Kiarostami's work. The pair chart the filmmaker's late-in-life turn toward art galleries, museums, still photography, and installations. They also bring their distinct but complementary perspectives to a new conversation on the experimental film Shirin. Finally, Rosenbaum offers an essay on watching Kiarostami at home while Saeed-Vafa conducts a deeply personal interview with the director on his career and his final feature, Like Someone in Love.

Book Description
In this new collection of reviews and essays, Jonathan Rosenbaum focuses on the political and social dynamics of the contemporary movie scene. Rosenbaum, widely regarded as the most gifted contemporary American commentator on the cinema, explores the many links between film and our ideological identities as individuals and as a society. Readers will find revealing examinations of, for example, racial stereotyping in the debates surrounding Do the Right Thing, key films from Africa, China, Japan, and Taiwan, Hollywood musicals and French serials, and the cultural amnesia accompanying cinematic treatments of the Russian Revolution, the civil rights movement, and the Vietnam War. From Schindler's List, Star Wars, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, The Piano, and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective to the maverick careers of Orson Welles, Jacques Tati, Nicholas Ray, Chantal Akerman, Todd Haynes, and Andrei Tarkovsky, Rosenbaum offers a polemically pointed survey that makes clear the high stakes involved in every aspect of filmmaking and filmgoing.

Book Description
El método Nonflict, adoptado con éxito por empresas y foros de todo el mundo, es un excelente instrumento para la resolución de conflictos en el ámbito laboral, familiar y personal, y permite aprovechar también las oportunidades de crecimiento y de mejora ocultas tras esas desavenencias. ¿Cuál es la mejor manera de afrontar los desacuerdos que surgen a diario en nuestro entorno? Como afirman los autores, los conflictos son en realidad «oportunidades ocultas», y el método Nonflict permite examinar el conflicto subyacente desde los dos puntos de vista y resolverlo positivamente. Concebido como un manual eminentemente práctico y con abundantes ejemplos reales, este libro permite abordar por igual conflictos individuales o de grupo en los ámbitos más diversos, desde el de la pareja o la familia hasta el del mundo laboral. Y, gracias a su probada eficacia, el método Nonflict ha sido adoptado por empresas como Aguas Danone en España, el Grupo Salinas en México o Sakal Media Group en la India entre otras, que lo aplican en el seno de sus organizaciones y en proyectos de gran impacto social. Opiniones: «En Aguas Danone creemos en la diversidad de la fuerza de trabajo y, como en cualquier entorno de trabajo dinámico y heterogéneo, a veces surgen conflictos. Adoptamos el método Nonflict para formar a nuestros directivos con el objetivo de transformar la diversidad en un activo, y su eficacia nos ha llevado a compartirlo con el resto de la organización.» Christian Stammkoetter, director general de Aguas Danone España «El método Nonflict me fue de gran ayuda en una decisiva reunión sindical con mis empleados. Y también me permitió resolver felizmente un explosivo conflicto entre mi esposa y nuestra hija adolescente.» Jason Rosset, presidente de Accuworx «Mis alumnos han utilizado el método Nonflict para resolver conflictos muy complejosy han compartido este valioso instrumento en su entorno personal.» Jim Torczyner, profesor de trabajo social, McGill University
