These here include depictions of Residential Western & Commercial Architectural backdrops City Skylines Western Parks Hills & Mountains and Tropical Landscapes Skies & Clouds Transportation Miscellaneous and birds-eye cityscape profiles. Available sizes range from 14 x 19 feet up to 20 x 40 feet and include surrealistic backdrops animated and those with signage. Although undated the commercial architectural scenes include images of readily identifiable cars including 1965 Dodge GTO 1964 Camaro 1964-5 Mustang as well as 1962 Ford Falcon and also mentions the increasing use of colour for television broadcasting. In addition many of the scenes include those for the very popular Western genre films and shows during the Mid-20th-Century and some very distinctive Mid-Century Modern homes and exteriors are presented here as well. Two of the extra-illustrated scenes appear to depict a bucolic Northern California countryside of rolling hills and spreading trees above which measured 18 x 20 feet each to tie-in with one another; while the others focus on a tropical backdrop. Scenic Backgrounds Inc. appears to have been founded sometime around 1950-1952 with the introduction indicating that they had employed the best artists for over 12 years. In addition the Company appears in none of the contemporary street directories or trade journals we could search however it did place advertisements in some of the contemporary magazines and appeared to operate until about 1970. Whether Joe Minneci was an owner it is difficult to determine but originally the Minneci’s lived in West Los Angeles in the Fairfax area before moving to Encino. Often these scene and backdrop companies would rent out their scenery to stage productions opera houses and even fraternal order productions. These original sales catalogues for this essential part of the film and television industry are quite scarce. No copies in Worldcat. Scenic Backgrounds, Inc., 848 North La Brea Avenue, unknown

réf. 170333Paris: Cahiers du Cinéma 2006. Collection of 393 issues Nos. 226 through 619 of the French film journal "Cahiers du Cinéma" representing the years 1971-2006. Text and titles in French. "Cahiers du Cinéma" was founded in 1951 by André Bazin Jacques Doniol-Valcroze and Joseph-Marie Lo Duca with writers including Jacques Rivette Jean-Luc Godard Claude Chabrol and François Truffaut. In the mid-1950s dissent started to develop between the journal's editors and its writers the latter group led by Truffaut who published an inflammatory article in January of 1954 denouncing the lack of creativity in French filmmaking and advocating for the "policy of the authors"-the origins of auteur theory. Founders Bazin and Lo Duca subsequently yielded editorial control of the journal to Doniol-Valcroze and Éric Rohmer resulting in a significantly changed format with a focus on directors deemed "auteurs." Rohmer would assume position as the journal's head editor in 1958 but by 1963 would be forced out by Godard Chabrol Rivette and others largely due to Rohmer's refusal to shift the journal's focus from Hollywood to the films of the French New Wave i.e. their own films. Now led by Rivette "Cahiers" tied its flag more openly to the political left and increasingly ignored Hollywood films in favor of avant-garde and experimental filmmakers. By the mid-1970s a review of "Jaws" 1975 marked the journal's return to more mainstream film criticism. In 1998 the journal would be acquired by press group Le Monde and was heavily redesigned the following year with significantly broadened focus on all visual arts. The journal remains in operation today under private ownership and continues to gain renown for its annual "top ten" film lists. Generally Near Fine or better. Housed in 33 custom maroon cloth clamshell boxes. Shipping billed at cost due to quantity and weight. Cahiers du Cinéma unknown
