Film archives have long been dedicated to preserving movies, and in recent years they have been adapting to the changing formats and technologies through which cinema is now created and presented. This collection makes the case for a further step: the need to see media technologies themselves as objects of conservation, restoration, presentation, and research, in both film archives and film studies. Contributors with a wide range of expertise in the film and media world consider the practical and theoretical challenges posed by such conservation efforts and consider their potential to generate new possibilities in research and education in the field.

Our studies of aesthetics and knowledge have long tended to privilege the visual - at the expense, Wolfgang Ernst argues, of the aural. Sonic Time Machines aims to correct that, presenting a striking new approach to theorising sound that investigates its split existence: as a temporal effect in a techno-cultural context and as a source of knowledge and information. Ernst creates a new term for the concept at the heart of the book, "sonicity", a flexible and powerful term that allows him to consider sound with all its many physical, philosophical, and cultural valences.

More than a biography of a prolific filmmaker and leftist committed to changing the world through film, The Conscience of Cinema is also a microcosmic history of the documentary and its form, culture, and place within twentieth-century world cinema. Ivens worked in almost every genre, including the essay, compilation, hybrid dramatization, socialist realism, and more. Whether in his native Netherlands, the Soviet Union, the U.S., Vietnam, or beyond, Joris Ivens left an indelible artistic and political mark that continues to resonate in the twenty-first century.

Create or Die
Essays on the Artistry of Dennis Hopper
By Stephen Lee Naish
Dennis Hopper was an incredibly compelling screen presence who helped give cult classics like Easy Rider and Blue Velvet their off-kilter appeal. But his interests went far beyond acting, and this collection of essays is the first major work to take in Hopper as an artist in all his endeavours: from acting and directing to photography, sculpture, and expressionist painting. Naish doesn't skimp on covering Hopper's best-known work and breaks new ground in putting it in context with his other creative enterprises, showing how one medium informs another, and how they offer a portrait of an artist who was restless, even flawed at times, but always aiming to live up to his motto: create or die.
