An international selection of artworks made for broadcast, the exhibi- tion documents the crossovers and collaborations that take place on this new television, between and among dancers, musicians, play- wrights, actors, authors, poets, and visual and video artists . And it investigates the artists' own investigation of one medium -- be it dance or music or literature -- through another . It examines the transformations video makes and the possibilities it allows . These provocative uses of television time and technology are organized in THE ARTS FOR TELEVISION according to the medium transformed by the electronic image ; the six categories are Dance for Television, Music for Television, Theatre for Television, Literature for Television, The Video Image (works that address video as a visual art, that make reference to the traditional visual arts and to seeing itself), and Not Necessarily Television (works that address the usual content of TV, and transform it) . The ARTS FOR TELEVISION also presents another level of collaboration in artists' television . It documents the involvement of television stations in Europe and America with art and artists' video . It recognizes their commitment and acknowledges the risks they take in allowing artists the opportunity to realize works of art .

    ‘Absorbing’ Gerald Kaufman, Daily Telegraph, Books of the Year ‘Kelly’s use of the film’s troubled history of cuts, censorship, [and] banning in every country where it’s ever been shown explores cinema’s power in society ….’ Premiere ‘Kelly’s genuine passion for Milestone’s great film is infectious and justified.’ David Robinson, Times Higher Education Supplement ‘The research and the feeling for the film, is the most compelling of any such project I’ve ever encountered. It recalled such mem- ories that I was tearful when I finished reading it.’ Producer Arthur Gardner, who played a German soldier in All Quiet on the Western Front ‘Here for the first time, is the full story behind the first great masterpiece of the sound cinema … Kelly’s painstaking research has unearthed a wealth of detail, sometimes funny, sometimes moving, but always illuminating. This is a worthy companion to the greatest war movie of all time.’ Professor Nicholas Cull, University of Leicester ‘This is a superb book, meticulously researched, compulsively readable and consistently fascinating’ Professor Jeffrey Richards, Lancaster University ‘[All Quiet on the Western Front ] provides the most detailed docu- mentation on the making of a classic of American cinema … There is evidence here of considerable and unique research.’ Anthony Slide, Classic Images ‘A concise, thorough and eloquent history of one of the most important – and influential of all American films.’ James Curtis, author of Between Flops: the life of Preston Sturges and New World of Gods and Monsters: the life of James Whale .

  • P-74 Film Frame Collection
    P-74 Film Frame Collection Repository: Seaver Center for Western History Research, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Span Dates: 1889 – 1947, undated (bulk 1900 – 1933, undated) Extent: 5.8 linear feet Language: English Abstract: Specimens of motion picture film compiled and catalogued by Earl Theisen (1903-1973). A portion of the collection is derived from other motion picture history donations to the museum, but most of the items were collected by the donor. Biographical Note: Theisen (1903-1973) was the Honorary Curator of Motion Picture and Theatrical Arts at the then-called Los Angeles Museum for several years following 1931. He had a primary role at the museum in developing the Motion Picture Gallery. Much of the film collections in the museum’s History Department were acquired as a result of his efforts. He was a technician at the Dunning Process Plant, a member of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers, and a member of the Society’s Historical Committee. He wrote articles for the publication “The International Photographer” from about 1932 to 1936 and also served as its Associate Editor. In articles he discussed the history of motion pictures; film production and the film industry, including the art of animation; in a semi- regular column he covered news about the Hollywood industry. One of the articles from the May, 1934 issue noted that he was a “member of the Faculty as Lecturer in the Department of Cinematography, University of Southern California.” While serving as curator at the museum, Theisen became active as the Executive Secretary of the Motion Picture Hall of Fame at the California-Pacific International Exposition (1935-1936) at San Diego, California.
