Encyclopedia of Television Film Directors
2 VOLUMES
Jerry Roberts
“This is a valuable addition to any collection serving a film- or television-studies program.” —BOOKLIST “Recommended.” —CHOICE From live productions of the 1950s like Requiem for a Heavyweight to big budget mini-series like Band of Brothers, long-form television programs have been helmed by some of the most creative and accomplished names in directing. Encyclopedia of Television Film Directors brings attention to the directors of these productions, citing every director of stand alone long-form television programs: made for TV movies, movie-length pilots, mini-series, and feature-length anthology programs, as well as drama, comedy, and musical specials of more than 60 minutes. Each of the nearly 2,000 entries provides a brief career sketch of the director, his or her notable works, awards, and a filmography. Many entries also provide brief discussions of key shows, movies, and other productions. Appendixes include Emmy Awards, DGA Awards, and other accolades, as well as a list of anthology programs. Jerry Roberts is the author or editor of several books, including Robert Mitchum: A Bio-Bibliography (1992) and The Great American Playwrights on the Screen (2003).

Encyclopedia of French Film Directors
2 VOLUMES
Philippe Rège Library Journal Best Reference 2009
Cinema has been long associated with France, dating back to 1895, when Louis and Auguste Lumière screened their works, the first public viewing of films anywhere. Early silent pioneers Georges Méliès, Alice Guy Blaché and others followed in the footsteps of the Lumière brothers and the tradition of important filmmaking continued throughout the 20th century and beyond. In Encyclopedia of French Film Directors, Philippe Rège identifies every French director who has made at least one feature film since 1895. From undisputed masters to obscure one-timers, nearly 3,000 directors are cited here, including at least 200 filmmakers not mentioned in similar books published in France. Each director’s entry contains a brief biographical summary and complete filmographies, including credits for feature films, shorts, documentaries, and television work. Some of the most important names in the history of film can be found in this encyclopedia, from masters of the Golden Age—Jean Renoir and René Clair—to French New Wave artists such as François Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard. Philippe Rege is a freelance writer and film historian, who has contributed to many French and Spanish movie magazines. He is the author or coauthor of five other books, including biographies of Klaus Kinski and Johnny Depp.
