El cine en vivo y sus técnicas
El posible futuro del cine según Francis Ford Coppola, uno de los cineastas más grandes del siglo XX. Un ensayo trufado de experiencias personales que seducirá a los cinéfilos. En este libro, uno de los más aclamados cineastas modernos da un repaso exhaustivo a un nuevo medio audiovisual. El Live Cinema es una forma de arte en vivo y en formato digital que puede aportar calidad a la creación e innovar en su difusión por salas de cine de cualquier rincón del mundo. Su visión de este nuevo medio está trufada de observaciones e intuiciones magistrales, dada su larguísima experiencia en el séptimo arte: notas sobre las primeras décadas del cine, recuerdos sobre su fascinación con la televisión en directo de la década de los cincuenta, reflexiones sobre la dirección de actores, comentarios sobre la tecnología audiovisual más puntera... Por ello, este volumen funciona también como una suerte de autobiografía, ya que Coppola repasa sus triunfos y fracasos con una honestidad inusitada. Reseñas: «Una verdadera mina de libro, intensamente personal, a la par que un viaje astral hacia el futuro potencial del cine/teatro/televisión. Es una obra íntima y confesional y a la vez un pasaporte mágico al almacén de sabiduría del cineasta.» Walter Murch «Un libro que presenta de manera compacta el legado de Coppola, sus ideas innovadoras, la profundidad de su conocimiento y sus pasiones duraderas.» David Canfield, Entertainment Weekly «Las virtudes de Coppola como narrador, sea cual sea el medio de transmisión, son más que evidentes en este libro. Está plagado de párrafos donde su relación con el live cinema primigenio es tan reveladora como fascinante. El entusiasmo por el cine de este creador genial es contagioso.» Publishers Weekly «Un relato curioso y divertido sobre cómo un maestro en su campo se pelea con una nueva manera de comunicar el arte. Empieza el libro explorando la prehistoria de la televisión, cuando casi todos los programas llegaban a su público rodados en directo, y está trufada de apartes personales sobre cómo esta técnica lo ha perseguido a lo largo de su dilatada carrera. Igual que en sus películas, Coppola sabe contar una historia interesante. El live cinema, en su nueva encarnación, y todos aquellosa quienes pueda atraer, se van a beneficiar de la visión que Coppola tiene sobre el tema.» Michael Ruzicka, Booklist «En este libro novedoso y sorprendente, que son en parte unas memorias, en parte un diario y en parte una guía, Francis Ford Coppola se entusiasma (y entusiasma al lector) en su búsqueda de una nueva forma de contar historias. En El cine en vivo y sus técnicas se entremezclan elementos de la autobiografía de Coppola, su conocimiento enciclopédico del cine y la televisión, así como su proceso creativo en pos de un nuevo lenguaje cinematográfico.» William Friedkin

Live Cinema and Its Techniques

release date: Sep 26, 2017
Live Cinema and Its Techniques
From a master of cinema comes this “gold mine of a book . . . a rocket ride to the potential future” of filmmaking (Walter Murch). Celebrated as an “exhilarating account” of a revolutionary new medium (Booklist), Francis Ford Coppola’s indispensable guide to live cinema is a boon for moviegoers, film students, and teachers alike. As digital movie-making, like live sports, can now be performed by one director—or by a collaborative team online— it is only a matter of time before cinema auteurs will create “live” movies to be broadcast instantly in faraway theaters. “Peppered with brilliant personal observations” (Wendy Doniger), Live Cinema and Its Techniques offers a behind-the-scenes look at a consummate career: from Coppola’s formative boyhood obsession with live 1950s television shows and later attempts to imitate the spontaneity of live performance on set, the book usefully includes a guide to presenting state-of-the-art techniques on everything from rehearsals to equipment. A testament to Coppola’s prodigious enthusiasm for reinvigorating the form, Live Cinema is an indispensable guide that “reenergizes . . . the search for a new way of storytelling” (William Friedkin).
