Falling Liquid Films gives a detailed review of state-of-the-art theoretical, analytical and numerical methodologies, for the analysis of dissipative wave dynamics and pattern formation on the surface of a film falling down a planar inclined substrate. This prototype is an open-flow hydrodynamic instability, that represents an excellent paradigm for the study of complexity in active nonlinear media with energy supply, dissipation and dispersion.

This introduction to film appreciation uses both contemporary and classic movies to help students develop critical skills in the analysis and evaluation of film.

The Films of Woody Allen is the first full-length work to examine the director as a serious filmmaker and artist. Sam Girgus argues that Allen has consistently been on the cutting edge of contemporary critical and cultural consciousness, challenging our notions of authorship, narrative, perspective, character, theme, ideology, gender and sexuality. This revised and updated edition includes two new chapters that examine Allen's work since 1992. Girgus argues that the scandal surrounding Allen's personal life in the early 1990s has altered his image in ways that reposition moral consciousness in his work.

A 46 minute, Channel 5 documentary plotting the history of ‘X’-rated films – mostly pornography – the last sixty years. The first ‘X’ film was certified and relased in 1952 – allowing horror movies, violence and sex to appear in cinemas, often under the guise of ‘art films’. The documentary shows not only the rise of X films made in both Britain and America, but also the ways in which directors got around the censorship requirements – by releasing documentaries of nudist colonies with glamour models playing volleyball etc. Later on in the documentary, it shifts to slapstick sex comedy, lesbian-themed films and films depicting sadomasochism and rape.
