CinemaScope: Selected Documents from the Spyros P. Skouras Archive. Brave
World, 2013. ISBN: 0615829198. CinemaScope (1953), the process that
established the widescreen format in motion pictures, was more than a
technical innovation. It breathed life into the film industry, saved
Twentieth Century-Fox from liquidation, and inducted its president Spyros
P. Skouras into the pantheon of American visionaries. For the first time an
intimate story of the second technological revolution in film history
emerges from the papers of Spyros P. Skouras. Ranging from correspondence
with Churchill and Eisenhower to company memos and financial reports, this
collection is an indispensable source for the historian and affords a rare
glimpse into Hollywood"s corporate performance at its best.

A History of Greek Cinema. New York: Continuum, 2012. 1st US Ed.. Hard
Cover. New Book from Publisher / New. ISBN: 9781441135001. The history of
Greek cinema is a rather obscure and unexamined affair. Greek cinema
started slowly and then collapsed; for several years it struggled to
reinvent itself, produced its first mature works, then collapsed completely
and almost vanished. Because of such a complex historical trajectory no
comprehensive survey of the development of Greek cinema has been written in
English. This book is the first to explore its development and the contexts
that defined it by focusing on its main films, personalities and
theoretical discussions.A History of Greek Cinema focuses on the early
decades and the attempts to establish a “national” cinema useful to social
cohesion and national identity. It also analyses the problems and the
dilemmas that many Greek directors faced in order to establish a distinct
Greek cinema language and presents the various stages of development
throughout the background of the turbulent political history of the
country. The book combines historical analysis and discussions about
cinematic form in to construct a narrative history about Greek cinematic
successes and failures

Quest for Serenity: journal of a Film-Maker. New York: Filmmaker's
Cinematheque, 1965. First Edition. Softcover. Signed by Author. Near Fine
Issue 1 of Monograph series from Film-makers' Cinematheque. Inscribed by
author on title page # 127 of 1000 copies. Transcripts from Markopoulos'
diary regarding the filming of "Serenity"and the subsequent problems
"Serenity, it was based on a novel by Elias Venezis depicting the aftermath
of the Greco-Turkish conflict of 1920-21. Revolving around the symbolic
image of a rose garden, the film was to take place largely in the memory of
its principal female character, the wife of an idealistic young physician
exiled in the postwar diaspora. Color shooting finally began in 1958, under
trying conditions (some scenes could only be filmed in one take), with a
soundtrack recorded in English, Greek, German and Russian. A first version
was then edited in Rome. After that a dire, truly Byzantine struggle with
the film's producers ensued that lasted over two years, exhausting and
discouraging the filmmaker. During that time he continued to work on
scenarios, three of which would be the bases of his major works of the
1960s. A trucated version of Serenity was finally premiered at Spoleto in
1961 and a longer edit was shown three times in the U.S. before
disappearing entirely, forfeited by the director in return for his fee. It
has not been seen since"
