Book Synopsis Flickering Empire by : Michael Glover Smith

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flickering Empire tells the fascinating yet little-known story of how Chicago served as the unlikely capital of American film production in the years before the rise of Hollywood (1907–1913).

Colorful, larger-than-life historical figures, including Thomas Edison, Charlie Chaplin, Oscar Micheaux, and Orson Welles, are major players in the narrative—in addition to important though forgotten industry titans, such as "Colonel" William Selig, George Spoor, and Gilbert "Broncho Billy" Anderson.

Book Synopsis The Empire Strikes Back? by : Andrew S. Thompson
Download or read book The Empire Strikes Back? written by Andrew S. Thompson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `The Empire Strikes Back' will inject the empire back into the domestic history of modern Britain. In the nineteenth century and for much of the twentieth century, Britain's empire was so large that it was truly the global superpower. Much of Africa, Asia and America had been subsumed. Britannia's tentacles had stretched both wide and deep. Culture, Religion, Health, Sexuality, Law and Order were all impacted in the dominated countries. `The Empire Strikes Back' shows how the dependent states were subsumed and then hit back, affecting in turn England itself.
Download or read book #EMPiREFiLM written by Mark Leach and published by Mark Leach. This book was released on 2011-03-12 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #EMPIREFILM is a written record of the first live tweeting of Andy Warhol's "Empire" on Feb. 19, 2011, at The Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Nothing is left out: in #EMPIREFILM we read every tweet made during the screening of this notoriously long film. A typical movie is about two hours; "Empire" consists of eight hours and five minutes of continuous slow motion footage of the Empire State Building in New York City, leaving the moviegoers/tweeters an apparent infinity to fill with observations of the obvious, banal trivia and the frivolous chatter of Manhattan's fabulously bored (punctuated with random tweets by the author). As the story toils on and the hours go by, a sense of the absurd descends upon the crowd as they wait for the famed, fleeting reflection of Warhol in the window. Will the ghost of the Prince of Pop Art ever appear? #EMPIREFILM is the latest work of literary appropriation by Mark Leach, author of the 17-million-word "Marienbad My Love," the world's longest novel. "What he [Leach] does is the artistic equivalent of running newspaper ads, magazine articles, and tampon covers through a shredder, pouring glue on it, then taking a piss on it and calling that art." - name withheld at request of the commentator
