[Filmfestivalresearch] Suggestions for Textbooks for FilmFestival Culture --Sundance

[Classic Media Entertainment]

Hi All

Another interesting book is "Down and Dirty Pictures" this book will really
show how it all works and if anyone has an interest in "preserving the
integrity of the international awards system" ( a paper I am writing) then
this book is really worth the read.

While we all think corruption on the festival and awards circuit is
distasteful and seems to be avoided by many, it is still there and part of
the history of the festival culture.  As many know we have written about
such festivals for over a year and while in some respects is negative, I
believe the only way to stamp this out is by educating people. So is it now
time for all to tackle this issue together? Or do we carry on we have been
doing (unsupported) for the past year and half

Regards

Dear Dawn:
 
One of my favorite books ever written about filmmaking is "Rebel Without a
Crew" by Robert Rodriguez. There are mountains of information in that book,
particularly about the Sundance experience (from the very golden age of
Sundance), independent filmmaking, studio filmmaking, and everything in
between. For history, culture, and process, I think it serves well.
 
Best regards,

Dawn: The Film Festival Yearbooks from St. Andrews Press are indispensible
in this regard.
