Product Description

Book Description

A book that charts a journey across cinematic boundaries. Across filmed and imagined digital spaces, between the layers of fact and fiction from moving imagemakers redefining the rules of film. THE END OF CELLULOID is a book that will change the way you see film. Arguing that filmmaking is being superseded by a spectrum of moving image, it extends the range of what we think of as filmmaking. It explores the latest in digital film and new forms of 'advanced moving image', highlighting the most exciting and innovative examples of this entertainment.
It includes commentary on highly regarded filmmakers and those starting to make an impact who are influencing this next generation of filmmaking. The book presents an insight into these new styles infiltrating the mainstream, taking in film, animation, FMV and machinima (computer gaming animations), digital tv, pop promos, websites, PDA and PVP devices.

Moving imagemakers from all disciplines are redefining the rules of film.
The End of Celluloid features works by artists including: Jonas Åkerlund (Spun), Roger Avary (Rules of Attraction), Matthew Barney (The Cremaster Cycle), Danny Boyle (28 Days Later), Chris Cunningham (Flex, Windowlicker), Mike Figgis (Hotel, Timecode), Grant Gee (Meeting People is Easy), Lars von Trier (Idioterne), Peter Greenaway (The Tulse Luper Suitcases), Hideo Kojima (Metal Gear Solid series), David Lynch (Rabbits, The Third Place), Koji Morimoto (Noiseman Sound Insect), Hideo Nakata (Ringu), Marc Evans (My Little Eye), Mark Neale (No Maps for these Territories), Mamoru Oshii (Avalon), Bill Viola (The Greeting, The Passions), Kieron Evans (Finisterre), Kinematic (9-11 Survivor), Shynola (Radiohead blips & music videos), Andy & Larry Wachowski (Animatrix, The Matrix trilogy).

4.0 out of 5 stars Well written and illustrated survey of the future of film..., 2 Jan 2006

By FX artist "inkboyt" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The End of Celluloid: Film Futures in the Digital Age (Paperback)

With the recent slump in the box office receipts, Matt Hanson's book is highly poignant. In it, the author surveys various film-makers on the cutting edge of experimentation as they try to redefine and push the boundaries of the artform. The likes of Matthew Barney and Koji Morimoto (of the Akira fame) receive their dues. Furthermore, Hanson also pays particular attention to how the evolution of the latest video games are influencing the film media as the line between games and films blurs.

I highly recommend this book along with Hanson's more recently published book "Sci-fi Cityscapes". Matt Hanson is an eloquent writer with razor sharp power of observation. I find his book very satisfying to read because of both his practical informative and philosophical style of writing, not to mention the wealth of illustrations that fill his books.

3.0 out of 5 stars Visually Grabbing and a Simple Read of the State of Film Today, 10 Mar 2008

By George Stoll "Lifecast2020" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The End of Celluloid: Film Futures in the Digital Age (Paperback)

I purchased this book used, in great condition. It's really a coffee table book that upon viewing is prone for a conversation starter of what is and what is to be soon. The photos and illustrations within are well worth the price. I have skimmed through this book several times now, seeing something new each time.
