Laura Hubner - Böcker

This book explores the idiosyncratic effects generated as fairytale and gothic horror join, clash or merge in cinema. It moves on to investigate films close up, locating fairytale horror, motifs and themes and a distinctively cinematic gothic horror.

In Framing Film, film studies experts Steven Allen and Laura Hubner draw on a selection of historically and culturally diverse texts to explore the intricate relationships between cinema and the visual arts. Broad in scope, the volume considers a range of visual arts media, including posters, paintings, photography, comic books, and production design. By examining these various forms of media, Allen and Hubner emphasize the ability of visual arts to frame the spectatorÆs experience of cinema. Among the films and artists considered in this thought-provoking interdisciplinary volume are selections from both the high- and low-brow aspects of culture.
