Contemporary Directors’ Cinema
Contemporary Directors’ Cinema refreshes the argument about the role of the director through the practice of evaluative criticism.The book identifies what makes nine recent films successful achievements by their directors and collaborators.Each chapter gives some context for the director’s work, but the central argument focuses on the style, form and themes of each film, while explicating aspects of point of view and tone.Contemporary Directors’ Cinema argues that in each of its nine case studies the director’s work is central to the achievement of economy, unity, eloquence, subtlety, depth, vigour, vividness and intensity.By offering critical readings of nine films from mainstream film culture, Contemporary Directors’ Cinema demonstrates that cinema remains vital as a directors’ medium. The films discussed in this book are: Pain and Glory (2019); Shoplifters (2018); Parasite (2019); The White Ribbon (2009); Les Chansons d'amour (2007); The Bling Ring (2013); The Great Beauty (2013); Leviathan (2014); and Winter Sleep (2014).

Working with Actors : Meisner Technique for Directors and Actors
Working with Actors provides the key to unlocking the honest, dynamic performance every actor has within them.It offers a well-articulated formulation of the Meisner Technique easy for directors and actors to use within a working context. Through setting out an accessible training programme for practitioners working across stage and screen, this book establishes a clear-cut route to building a three-dimensional character in an organic, non-intellectual fashion, based squarely on the character’s objectives. Few books in this field venture out of the training studio, while in this book - alongside offering an intense and concentrated Meisner training programme - the focus is more on the ‘pay-off’: the collaborative act of developing the role and how that plays out in rehearsal and performance. Beyond that, the books uniquely offers:> a new modality for script reading, analysis and rehearsal through which the character is born in relation to other characters;> a prioritisation of the key skills for coming alive in the moment – listening and putting one’s attention wholly on the other character/actor;> a historical perspective on how Meisner’s methods have evolved and why they provide the basis of truthful acting;> for directors, a format for analysis of the complete work based on Stanislavskian principles; > for actors, complementary methods, such as Uta Hagen’s ‘endowment’, to enhance the ‘reality of doing’

The Cinema of Agnes Varda : Resistance and Eclecticism
Agnes Varda, a pioneer of the French New Wave, has been making radical films for over half a century.Many of these are considered by scholars, filmmakers, and audiences alike, as audacious, seminal, and unforgettable.This volume considers her production as a whole, revisiting overlooked films like Mur, Murs/Documenteur (1980-81), and connecting her cinema to recent installation work.This study demonstrates how Varda has resisted norms of representation and diktats of production.It also shows how she has elaborated a personal repertoire of images, characters, and settings, which all provide insight on their cultural and political contexts.The book thus offers new readings of this director's multifaceted reveries, arguing that her work should be seen as an aesthetically influential and ethically-driven production where cinema is both a political and collaborative practice, and a synesthetic art form.

What is the difference between resistance and specific resistance?
Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current in a material, measured in ohms. It is a property of the material itself. Specific resistance, also known as resistivity, is a material property that quantifies how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current. It is a characteristic of the material's composition and is used to calculate the resistance of a specific shape and size of material.

What are the tolerances for resistance chains and resistance cubes?
The tolerances for resistance chains and resistance cubes typically vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific product. However, in general, resistance chains and cubes are designed to have tight tolerances to ensure accurate and consistent resistance levels for users. It is common for resistance chains and cubes to have tolerances within a few percentage points to maintain their effectiveness and reliability during workouts. It is recommended to refer to the product specifications provided by the manufacturer for more detailed information on the tolerances of specific resistance chains and cubes.

How do I calculate the resistance with the internal resistance?
To calculate the total resistance with the internal resistance, you can use the formula: R_total = R_internal + R_external, where R_total is the total resistance, R_internal is the internal resistance, and R_external is the external resistance. This formula takes into account the resistance from both the internal and external components of the circuit. By adding the internal and external resistances together, you can determine the total resistance in the circuit.

What is the difference between insulation resistance and surface resistance?
Insulation resistance measures the resistance to the flow of current through the insulation material between two conductors, while surface resistance measures the resistance to the flow of current across the surface of a material. Insulation resistance is typically used to assess the effectiveness of insulation materials in preventing current leakage, while surface resistance is used to evaluate the cleanliness and conductivity of surfaces in electronic and electrical applications. In summary, insulation resistance measures the resistance through a material, while surface resistance measures the resistance across a material's surface.

An Atonal Cinema : Resistance, Counterpoint and Dialogue in Transnational Palestine
This is a book about Palestinians elsewhere and Palestinian elsewheres.Articulating an ambiguous right to remain out-of-place as a spatialized response to the fossilized present, the films and filmmakers in this book examine Palestine, as a place and idea, from the dissonance of exile.An Atonal Cinema: Resistance, Counterpoint and Dialogue in Transnational Palestine theorizes a transnational consciousness within contemporary Palestinian cinema as one which articulates an ‘atonal’ cinema, utilizing contrapuntal dialogue as a mode of resistance with which to respond critically to the ‘place-myth’ of Palestine in films produced within Palestine but without Palestinians.Drawing on a genealogy of Edward Said’s atonal thinking of counterpoint, I argue that the films in this book display a ‘double-consciousness’, through which Palestine is simultaneously elided and re-inscribed in a contrapuntal dialogue between the ‘here’ of its contemporary reality and the ‘elsewhere’ of its historical image.An Atonal Cinema’s radical approach includes cinematic texts from Europe, South America and Israel in its corpus, which have both triggered and been shaped by critical responses in contemporary Palestinian Cinema.Drawing on both literature and cinema, An Atonal Cinema draws on the work of Edward Said, Mahmoud Darwish, Jean Genet and Carlo Levi.Films by Pier Paolo Pasolini, Jean-Luc Godard, Menahem Golan and Miguel Littín are read contrapuntally through contemporary responses from Ayreen Anastas, Basma Alsharif, Mohanad Yaqubi, Elia Suleiman and Kamal Aljafari.

What is the difference between electrical resistance and specific resistance?
Electrical resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current in a material, measured in ohms. It is a property of the material itself and is dependent on factors such as the material's dimensions and temperature. Specific resistance, on the other hand, is a material property that quantifies how much a material resists the flow of electric current compared to a standard material. It is also known as resistivity and is measured in ohm-meters. In essence, electrical resistance is the overall resistance of a material, while specific resistance is a more intrinsic property of the material itself.
-
Is the protective resistance the same as the series resistance?
No, the protective resistance is not the same as the series resistance. The protective resistance is a component used to limit the current in a circuit and protect other components from damage. It is typically used in parallel with the component it is protecting. On the other hand, the series resistance is a component that is connected in series with other components in a circuit, affecting the overall resistance and current flow in the circuit. While both resistances are used to control current, they serve different purposes and are connected in different ways within a circuit.
-
What is the difference between specific resistance and direct current resistance?
Specific resistance, also known as resistivity, is a material property that measures the resistance of a specific material to the flow of electric current. It is expressed in ohm-meter and is a characteristic of the material itself. On the other hand, direct current resistance refers to the resistance of a specific component or device to the flow of direct current. It is measured in ohms and depends on the physical dimensions and material properties of the component. In summary, specific resistance is a material property, while direct current resistance is a property of a specific component or device.

How can the individual resistance be determined from the total resistance?
The individual resistance can be determined from the total resistance by using the formula for resistors in parallel or in series. For resistors in parallel, the individual resistance can be found using the formula 1/R_total = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ... + 1/Rn, where R_total is the total resistance and R1, R2, R3, etc. are the individual resistances. For resistors in series, the individual resistance can be found by simply adding up the individual resistances to get the total resistance. Then, the individual resistance can be determined by subtracting the sum of the other resistances from the total resistance.
