Women have been instrumental in the success of American cinema since its very beginning. One of the first people to ever pick up a motion picture camera was a woman, as was the first screenwriter to win two Academy Awards, the inventor of the boom microphone, and the first person to be credited with the title film editor. Throughout the entire history of Hollywood women have been revolutionizing, innovating, and shaping how we make movies. Yet their stories are rarely shared. This is what film reporter Alicia Malone wants to change. Backwards and in Heels tells the history of women in film in a different way.

Here he examines this unique cultural revolution, providing a brilliant, eminently entertaining analysis of many of the medium's most notable 21st-century accomplishments.

Raised Eyebrows is the bittersweet story of the last years in the life of Groucho Marx, told by a young Marx Brothers fan who was fortunate enough to work for Groucho as his personal secretary and archivist, right inside Marx's Beverly Hills home.

The most successful director in movie history, Steven Spielberg has been responsible for such box-office blockbusters as Jurassic Park, Jaws, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and the Indiana Jones trilogy. And yet throughout much of his career, Spielberg's work has been undervalued by critics who have questioned his emotional maturity and intellectual seriousness. It was not until he made Schindler's List in 1993 that he was widely recognized as a serious filmmaker.

I was a “Monster Kid” and “The Weird Kid, The Horror Movie Kid.” I found out early…horror is always personal. Now I make horror for a living. It shouldn’t just be WATCHED. Horror should be ENJOYED.

Instead, it’s a tour of the 1930s through the 1980s—a personal account of how the best and worst of this era gave us so many memories and experiences that impacted our own lives. It’s fun…just how horror should always be.

Hasta ahí llegó el joven y conflictivo Dennis Hopper para rodar la que vislumbraba como una obra maestra de la contracultura hippie: The Last Movie.

En cierto sentido, la historia no es lo que ocurrió, sino lo que creemos que ocurrió. En este sentido, el cine y la fotografía nos han “enseñado” más historia que los libros de la SEP. En esta obra, el historiador Ricardo Pérez Montfort ofrece una serie de ensayos sobre este fenómeno.

„Pamiętnik orchidei. Pożegnania” to książka niezwykła w dorobku Zygmunta Kałużyńskiego. Ten bezkompromisowy krytyk filmowy i kontrowersyjny publicysta, nazywający sam siebie „ocalonym z wieku XX”, zdecydował się na podsumowanie własnego życia i zarazem całego stulecia, na które ono w większości przypadło.

Kino PRL-u. Możemy się zżymać na papierowe dialogi i natrętną propagandę, ale był to jedyny czas w historii polskiej kinematografii, kiedy zachodni recenzenci czekali na nowe obrazy z Polski. Scenariusze znad Wisły (jak np. „Kanał” Stawińskiego) podbijały serca włodarzy Hollywoodu, a termin „polska szkoła filmowa” został wpisany na stałe do światowego słownika popkultury. Polscy reżyserzy zażywali sławy porównywalnej z popularnością Antonioniego i Kurosawy, a polscy aktorzy stawali się gwiazdami festiwali filmowych.
