UCLA Arts Library Theater, Film, and Television Blog

The Association of Moving Image Archivists now has a blog site called AMIA Newsbriefs, with short news stories on archival and related film issues. Users can also sign up for RSS feeds to the content.

  After a short hiatus, the International Film Guide (formerly known as the Variety International Film Guide) has returned with Wallflower Press as the new publisher and Turner Classic Movies as the sponsor. The new 2008 edition is now available in Arts Library Reference (PN1993.3.I613 2008), and older volumes remain at the same call number in the stacks.

This year’s edition features profiles of international directors Fatih Akin, Susanne Bier, Guillermo del Toro, Paul Greengrass, and Jia Zhangke. As always the guide also contains summaries of industry news by country, festival reports, and a world box office survey for the 10 top grossing films in select countries.
