GB 2603 ROSSELL · 1970-1994

A substantial collection on cinema compiled by Deac Rossell, consisting of a collection of published books, pamphlets and ephemera and a collection of manuscripts. The print collection is wholly international in scope, containing predominantly post-1950 material, including many reference works, on the history of motion pictures. The collection has both diversity and depth. There are significant holdings on several topics, including animated films, documentary, studio histories, British cinema, Asian cinemas, Indian cinema, Arab cinema and black films and filmmaking of all types including African-American cinema and African national cinemas. Within these thematic groups, the few English-language histories or director studies are mostly present, sometimes backed up with substantial works in other languages; a feature of most of these themes are monographs on individual filmmakers from small publishers and/or unusual sources. There is also a group of film festival catalogues from the 1980s and 1990s, where there are often significant essays on national cinemas or current productions which have never been published in book form - such as the excellent writing on Hong Kong films and filmmakers from the elaborate catalogues published by the film festival in that city. Extensive filmographies can be found in the collection of directories and festival programmes from around the world. There are more than 850 books in total and around 1,000 pamphlets and programmes. There is a collection of posters included and also 10 manuscripts, including that of Deac Rossell’s work 'Living pictures: origins of the movies', 1996.
