Film References

Today I will be enlisting ten references from the University of Sacred Heart’s Virtual Library. I have chosen the topic of film and some music:

Ruti, M. (2016). Feminist Film Theory and Pretty Woman. New York, NY. Bloomsbury Academic.
- “Mari Ruti traces the development of feminist film theory from its foundational concepts such as the male gaze, female spectatorship, and the masquerade of femininity to 21st-century analyses of neoliberal capitalism, consumerism, postfeminism, and the revival of “girly” femininity as a cultural ideal.”

Newman, M.Z. (2011). Indie: An American Film Culture. New York, NY. Columbia University Press.
- “Michael Z. Newman considers indie cinema as an alternative American film culture. His work isolates patterns of character and realism, formal play, and opposition in these films and the function of festivals, art houses, and critical media in promoting them. He accounts for the power of audiences to distinguish indie films from mainstream Hollywood and to seek socially emblematic characters and playful form in their narratives.”
Gil-Curiel, G. (2016). Film Music in ‘Minor’ National Cinemas. New York, NY. Bloomsbury Academic.
- “This collection explores the multifarious ways that music has been used in the cinemas of various countries in Australasia, Africa, Latin America and even in Europe that have hitherto received little attention.”
