"The rare immigrant memoir that's also a page turner. Berk recalls a childhood in South Africa that eventually led him to Los Angeles, where he presided over the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. His stories about Jodie Foster, Brad Pitt and Meryl Streep are as unguarded as the Golden Globes. A journey worth taking." - Ramin Setoodeh, Film Editor New York, Variety "Phil Berk seems to have lived a "crowded hour" for his entire life - and it is all spelled out, beautifully, energetically, and with remarkable insight, in his memoir With Signs and Wonders. The inner workings of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has always been argued and speculated about for as long as they have been an organization. With this book, we get the tic-toc of it all - rumors confirmed, rumors destroyed, and a panoply of never-told stories from a man that wasn't only deep in the organization, but who actually led it - the debates, the infighting, the stress. It's all here. The book can be devoured in a day - and I doubt any reader can resist turning any page once it has been begun. But when you are done you will understand not only Berk's remarkable life but also his unquenchable and valuable love of film." - Rod Lurie, Writer-Director The Contender, The Last Castle, Resurrecting the Champ, Nothing but the Truth "An engaging memoir of an unusual and fascinating life's journey." - Stephen Farber, President, Los Angeles Film Critics Association "Very few people live a tenth of the lives that Philip Berk has lived. From war to love to eight-times elected President of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, his epoch-spanning story turns the pages with the same breathless, confiding style he has used for decades to report - and make - the history of his beloved entertainment industry. To read this uber-connected writer's story is to peek behind the curtains of the singularly-unique HFPA, and better know the sprawling industry surrounding Hollywood's most riotous awards. Phil Berk is a very smart, very kind and very special soul, and his story should be mandatory reading for those who seek to know what makes our industry tick." - Andy Corren, Talent Manager Philip Berk has served four two year terms as president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. He was educated at UCLA where he studied motion pictures. After earning a master's degree, he worked as an educator for 25 years supervising award winning programs in cinema, forensics, and journalism. For ten yeas he was the film critic for the B'nai B'rith Messenger (later Los Angeles Jewish Times) and has chaired the jury at the Guadalajara Film Festival, Hawaian Film festival, and the Bahamas Film Festival.

Hollywood and Africa - recycling the Dark Continent myth from 19082020 is a study of over a century of stereotypical Hollywood film productions about Africa. It argues that the myth of the Dark Continent continues to influence Western cultural productions about Africa as a cognitive-based system of knowledge, especially in history, literature and film. Hollywood and Africa identifies the colonial mastertext of the Dark Continent mythos by providing a historiographic genealogy and context for the terms development and consolidation. An array of literary and paraliterary film adaptation theories are employed to analyse the deep genetic strands of HollywoodAfrica film adaptations. The mutations of the Dark Continent mythos across time and space are then tracked through the classical, neoclassical and new wave HollywoodAfrica phases in order to illustrate how Hollywood productions about Africa recycle, revise, reframe, reinforce, transpose, interrogate and even critique these tropes of Darkest Africa while sustaining the colonial mastertext and rising cyberactivism against Hollywoods whitewashing of African history.

Pre-Code Hollywood explores the fascinating period in American motion picture history from 1930 to 1934 when the commandments of the Production Code Administration were violated with impunity in a series of wildly unconventional films—a time when censorship was lax and Hollywood made the most of it. Though more unbridled, salacious, subversive, and just plain bizarre than what came afterwards, the films of the period do indeed have the look of Hollywood cinema—but the moral terrain is so off-kilter that they seem imported from a parallel universe. In a sense, Doherty avers, the films of pre-Code Hollywood are from another universe. They lay bare what Hollywood under the Production Code attempted to cover up and push offscreen: sexual liaisons unsanctified by the laws of God or man, marriage ridiculed and redefined, ethnic lines crossed and racial barriers ignored, economic injustice exposed and political corruption assumed, vice unpunished and virtue unrewarded—in sum, pretty much the raw stuff of American culture, unvarnished and unveiled. No other book has yet sought to interpret the films and film-related meanings of the pre-Code era—what defined the period, why it ended, and what its relationship was to the country as a whole during the darkest years of the Great Depression... and afterward.
