Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like Dorothy waking up over the rainbow in the Land of Oz, Hollywood discovered a vivid new world of color in the 1930s. The introduction of three-color Technicolor technology in 1932 gave filmmakers a powerful tool with which to guide viewers' attention, punctuate turning points, and express emotional subtext. Although many producers and filmmakers initially resisted the use of color, Technicolor designers, led by the legendary Natalie Kalmus, developed an aesthetic that complemented the classical Hollywood filmmaking style while still offering innovative novelty. By the end of the 1930s, color in film was thoroughly harnessed to narrative, and it became elegantly expressive without threatening the coherence of the film's imaginary world. Harnessing the Technicolor Rainbow is the first scholarly history of Technicolor aesthetics and technology, as well as a thoroughgoing analysis of how color works in film. Scott Higgins draws on extensive primary research and close analysis of well-known movies, including Becky Sharp, A Star Is Born, Adventures of Robin Hood, and Gone with the Wind, to show how the Technicolor films of the 1930s forged enduring conventions for handling color in popular cinema. He argues that filmmakers and designers rapidly worked through a series of stylistic modes based on the demonstration, restraint, and integration of color—and shows how the color conventions developed in the 1930s have continued to influence filmmaking to the present day. Higgins also formulates a new vocabulary and a method of analysis for capturing the often-elusive functions and effects of color that, in turn, open new avenues for the study of film form and lay a foundation for new work on color in cinema.

Download or read book Josephine Baker and the Rainbow Tribe written by Matthew Pratt Guterl and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-14 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creating a sensation with her risqué nightclub act and strolls down the Champs Elysées, pet cheetah in tow, Josephine Baker lives on in popular memory as the banana-skirted siren of Jazz Age Paris. In Josephine Baker and the Rainbow Tribe, Matthew Pratt Guterl brings out a little known side of the celebrated personality, showing how her ambitions of later years were even more daring and subversive than the youthful exploits that made her the first African American superstar. Her performing days numbered, Baker settled down in a sixteenth-century chateau she named Les Milandes, in the south of France. Then, in 1953, she did something completely unexpected and, in the context of racially sensitive times, outrageous. Adopting twelve children from around the globe, she transformed her estate into a theme park, complete with rides, hotels, a collective farm, and singing and dancing. The main attraction was her Rainbow Tribe, the family of the future, which showcased children of all skin colors, nations, and religions living together in harmony. Les Milandes attracted an adoring public eager to spend money on a utopian vision, and to worship at the feet of Josephine, mother of the world. Alerting readers to some of the contradictions at the heart of the Rainbow Tribe project—its undertow of child exploitation and megalomania in particular—Guterl concludes that Baker was a serious and determined activist who believed she could make a positive difference by creating a family out of the troublesome material of race.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now a Netflix film starring and directed by Chiwetel Ejiofor, this is a gripping memoir of survival and perseverance about the heroic young inventor who brought electricity to his Malawian village. When a terrible drought struck William Kamkwamba's tiny village in Malawi, his family lost all of the season's crops, leaving them with nothing to eat and nothing to sell. William began to explore science books in his village library, looking for a solution. There, he came up with the idea that would change his family's life forever: he could build a windmill. Made out of scrap metal and old bicycle parts, William's windmill brought electricity to his home and helped his family pump the water they needed to farm the land. Retold for a younger audience, this exciting memoir shows how, even in a desperate situation, one boy's brilliant idea can light up the world. Complete with photographs, illustrations, and an epilogue that will bring readers up to date on William's story, this is the perfect edition to read and share with the whole family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climbing indoors has undergone a revolution. Indoor walls are no longer seen as simply a means to help climbers develop skills and get a bit fitter for 'the real thing'. These days many climbers prefer them, opting for the security of bolt-protected, weatherproof climbs. And why not? Excellent climbing facilities have sprung up everywhere, from primary schools and universities to massive, purpose-built centres offering hundreds of climbs and dedicated training facilities. And some climbers are buying the holds from specialised companies and setting up walls at home. The Indoor Climbing Manual is an authoritative and comprehensive guide, steering the reader through the variety of styles, skills and techniques needed to master the climbing wall, and includes: · An introduction to the equipment required · Top rope climbing, lead climbing and bouldering techniques · Advanced techniques and training to improve your climbing · Guidelines on how to climb safely and prevent injury · Tips for the transition from indoor to outdoor climbing · An overview of competitive climbing

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are the Rainbow Surfers. Come and join us on this amazing adventure on the river of life! If you are ready, the promise within The Promise of Surfing Rainbows is about to be revealed Let the Rainbow Surfers show you how to attract the very best that life has to offer! Having spent until the age of thirty-two working in the wrong jobs, married to the wrong partner, driving the wrong car, and living the wrong life, I can categorically tell you that the wonderful message from Surfing Rainbows, that you can love your life and that you can live your dreams, is not only inspirational, it is also deadly accurate. As a young, working-class man, I was told by my peers that people like us do not become artists, they do not write books, and they certainly do not have films made about their lives. I wrote my first book in a factory toilet where I was hired to sweep floors. My world was so small that I did not even know anyone that owned a typewriter. And yet that first book, Watch My Back, still went on to become a Sunday Times Best Seller and a BAFTA-winning film. I am an ordinary personlet us have no doubt about that. So if I can attract an amazing life, I know that anyone can do it. I wish Id have known about Surfing Rainbows way back when I started; it would have saved me a lot of time. I love this beautifully presented book. I love this inspirational message, and I highly recommend this work to anyone wanting to live a successful life. Geoff Thompson
