Bøker av Stephen Keane

Recent digital advances have transformed the films we watch and the ways in which we experience them. CineTech explores this exciting convergence between film and new media through a diverse range of up-to-date case studies, including the Star Wars prequels and the Matrix trilogy.

Stephen Keane's history of the disaster genre offers a detailed analysis of films such as The Towering Inferno, Independence Day, Titanic, and The Day After Tomorrow. He looks at the ways in which disaster movies can be read in relation to both contextual considerations and the increasing commercial demands of contemporary Hollywood. In this second edition, he adds new material regarding cinematic representations of disaster in the wake of 9/11 and an analysis of disaster movies in light of recent natural disasters. Keane continually reworks this previously unexplored genre.
