concert and tour films  aIn Music Films, Neil Fox considers a broad range of music documentaries, delving into their cinematic style, political undertones, racial dynamics, and gender representations, in order to assess their role in the cultivation of myth. Combining historical and critical analyses, and drawing on film and music criticism, Fox examines renowned music films such as A Hard Day's Night (1964), Dig! (2004), and Amazing Grace (2006), critically lauded works like Milford Graves Full Mantis (2018) and Mistaken for Strangers (2013), and lesser-studied films including Jazz on a Summer's Day (1959) and Ornette: Made in America (1985). In doing so, he offers a comprehensive overview of the genre, situating these films within their wider cultural contexts and highlighting their formal and thematic innovations. Discussions in the book span topics from concert filmmaking to music production, the music industry, touring, and filmic representations of authenticity and truth. Overall, Music Films traces the evolution of the genre, highlighting its cultural significance and connection to broader societal phenomena"--Publisher's description 0aDocumentary filmsxHistory and criticism. 4aDocumentalesxHistoria y crítica 0aConcert filmsxHistory and criticism. 0aPopular music in motion pictures. 4aMúsica para cine xHistoria y crítica  0aPopular musicxHistory and criticism. 4aMúsica popular xHistoria y crítica  0aJazzxHistory and criticism. 4aMúsica de jazzxHistoria y crítica. 0aMusic videosxHistory and criticism. 4aVídeos musicales xHistoria y crítica  4aCine y música
