Neat Records was a record label based in Newcastle, England. The label was established in 1979 by David Wood of Impulse Studios. The label was sold in 1995 by its then owner, the former Tygers of Pan Tang vocalist Jess Cox, to Sanctuary Records.
Neat Records was arguably the most instrumental label in the revival of heavy metal in the early 80 in the UK. The movement was known as the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. The label is most notorious for the early releases of Newcastle band Venom who are widely credited with the invention of black metal.
While none of Neat Records acts really broke through to the mainstream themselves, Raven, Blitzkrieg and Jaguar particularly are acknowledged as major influences on a host of major American thrash metal bands, Megadeth and Anthrax. Metallica have even covered Blitzkrieg self titled song Blitzkrieg and Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich has claimed Whiplash to be a deliberate attempt to emulate Jaguar song Stormchild
Other notable acts to release music through Neat Records include White Spirit and Persian Risk.
Film theory seeks to develop concise and systematic concepts that apply to the study of film as art. It was started by Ricciotto Canudo. The Birth of the Sixth Art. Formalist film theory, led by Rudolf Arnheim, Siegfried Kracauer, emphasized how film differed from reality, and thus could be considered a valid fine art.
Andre Bazin reacted against this theory by arguing that film artistic essence lay in its ability to mechanically reproduce reality not in its differences from reality, and this gave rise to realist theory. More recent analysis spurred by Jacques Lacan psychoanalysis and Ferdinand de Saussure semiotics among other things has given rise to psychoanalytical film theory, structuralist film theory, feminist film theory and others.
On the other hand, critics from the analytical philosophy tradition, influenced by Wittgenstein, try to clarify misconceptions used in theoretical studies and produce analysis of a film vocabulary and its link to a form of life.
