"In this imaginative and scholarly book, Steven Jacobs explores the architectural elements of Alfred Hitchcock's films and the vital role they played in providing atmosphere and facilitating plot development. Hitchcock famously left nothing to chance, and from the Greenwich Village apartment that provided the set for "Rear Window" or the now-iconic Bates house in "Psycho," every architectural entity plays a significant role both in setti ..."

"Through the feature films and documentaries of directors including Emmer, Erice, Godard, Hitchcock, Pasolini, Resnais, Rossellini and Storck, Jacobs examines the way films 'animate' artworks by means of cinematic techniques, such as camera movements and editing, or by integrating them into a narrative.He explores how this 'mobilization' of the artwork is brought into play in art documentaries and artist biopics, as well as in feature fi ..."

"A complete documentation of the true Hebrews and the ancestry from Black Africa as documented by Moses Farrar and Steven Jacobs, a European Jew and respected historian."
"In the years immediately following the Second World War, art documentaries played an important part in an emerging cinephile culture favoring experimental shorts. In the 1940s and 1950s, hundreds of art documentaries were produced, many of them being highly personal, poetic, reflexive and experimental films that offer a thrilling cinematic experience. With the exception of Alain Resnais's Van Gogh (1948), Henri-Georges Clouzot's Le Myst ..."
"Paul Robbrecht and Hilde Daem's work is both multifaceted and multilayered. The architects stand for the autonomy of an architectural order, while at the same time continually exploring its boundaries by setting up a confrontation with visual art. The streamlined simplicity of the modernist idiom does not preclude an intense preoccupation with history, the environment and building typology. In a detailed essay Steven Jacobs addresses th ..."

"Whereas sculpture is an artistic practice that involves not only static but also material, three-dimensional, and durable objects, the cinema produces kinetic, immaterial, two-dimensional, and fleeting images. However, the history of cinema amply illustrates the attraction of these opposites: statues coming to life in early cinema and disturbing the peace in Surrealist and trance films; the optical and haptic exploration of sculptural v ..."

"Recently, for instance, Bruno Dumont's Camille Claudel 1915 (2013), with
Juliette Binoche in the title role, focused on the period of Claudel's life that she
spent in confinement as a recluse, not sculpting anymore. Nuytten's film begins at

"Bruno Pinto had stood up for me and gave me a job in recognition for what I had
done for two Jewish families. I stood up for Bruno Pinto and tried to save his
assets and prevent his extradition from Italy, and, when I had to leave Egypt to be
with my mother in the U.S., it was my connection with the Pinto companies that
allowed me the means to escape. In many ways, I still live my life as I did at age
seven when I defiantly faced H ..."

"Imagine a museum in which the portrait of Carlotta Valdes, an important prop in Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, hangs on a wall next to the painted portrait of the title character of Otto Preminger's Laura, opposite the portraits of the desired or murdered women in Fritz Lang's Scarlet Street, George Cukor's Gaslight and Nicholas Ray's Born to Be Bad. In an adjacent gallery, the visitor of this imaginary museum can contemplate the portraits ..."

"Hitchcock's films provide a substantial and intriguing collection of architectural aspects - from his claustrophobic, single set films, such as 'Rope' and 'Rear Window' and his use of famous monuments for climatic scenes - to the characteristic use of the house as a labyrinth and trap, and of architectural motifs such as stairs and windows to develop narrative structures and typical themes. Author Steven Jacobs examines the 'master of s ..."
"Where does the fake art in movies and on TV come from? Stemming from this question, Fade In explores the intersection of art and on-screen entertainment through works by such artists as Darja Bajagic, GALA Committee, Amie Siegel, William Leavitt, Christian Marclay, Raša Todosijevic and Cindy Sherman, alongside stills from films by Jacques Tati, Dušan Makavejev, Alfred Hitchcock, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Martin Scorsese and more."
"The 1920s and 1930s saw the rise of the city symphony, an experimental film form that presented the city as protagonist instead of mere decor. Combining experimental, documentary, and narrative practices, these films were marked by a high level of abstraction reminiscent of high-modernist experiments in painting and photography. Moreover, interwar city symphonies presented a highly fragmented, oftentimes kaleidoscopic sense of modern li ..."
