Columbia University Press Save 30%* on New Film Books from Austrian Film Museum Hou Hsiao-hsien Edited by Richard I. Suchenski For younger critics and audiences, Taiwanese cinema enjoys a special status, comparable with that of Italian Neorealism and the French New Wave for earlier generations, a cinema that was and is in the midst of introducing an innovative sensibility and a fresh perspective. Hou Hsiao-hsien is the most important Taiwanese filmmaker working today, and his sensuous, richly nuanced films reflect everything that is vigorous and genuine in contemporary film culture. By combining multiple forms of tradition with a uniquely cinematic approach to space and time, Hou has created a body of work that, through its stylistic originality and historical gravity, opens up new possibilities for the medium. This new volume includes contributions by Olivier Assayas, Peggy Chiao, Chung Mong-hong, Jean-Michel Frodon, Hasumi Shigehiko, Ichiyama Shōzō, Jia Zhang-ke, Kent Jones, Koreeda Hirokazu, Jean Ma, Ni Zhen, Abé Mark Nornes, James Quandt, Richard I. Suchenski, James Udden, and Wen Tien-hsiang, as well as conversations with Hou Hsiao-hsien.

Volume 1 describes the establishment and development of the institution - from post-war Viennese film culture and its protagonists to the tenth anniversary of the Film Museum in 1974. Volume 2 (in German, with some parts in English) extends the time-frame to the year 2014 and offers a richly illustrated anthology of essays, documents, memoirs, and correspondence. It highlights the major retrospectives staged by the Film Museum over a period of 50 years and celebrates many of the visiting artists as well as the writers who contributed to the museum's international recognition and to its curatorial positions. Volume 3 focuses on the museum's holdings by picturing and describing 50 objects from various sub-fields of the collection - and suggesting a non-dogmatic reading of film history.  Use the coupon code CUP30 and save 30%! $70.00 $49.00 Paper | 768 pages | 280 color & 140 b&w illustrations | £48.50  * Customers in the UK and Europe can order these books by contacting:  customer@wiley.com     FOLLOW COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY PRESS:
