- Gary_D._Rhodes abstract "Gary D. Rhodes, Ph.D., is an American writer, filmmaker, and film historian. He is also a tenured faculty member in Film Studies at The Queen's University of Belfast, a Russell Group institution.Born in Ardmore, Oklahoma on September 11, 1972, Rhodes is a member of the Cherokee tribe. His books and films have been reviewed in such newspapers as USA Today and The Washington Times, trade publications like The Hollywood Reporter and American Cinematographer, magazines like Fangoria, Rue Morgue and Cineaste, and journals like Film Quarterly and The Journal of Early Popular Visual Culture.Rhodes’ key research interests include American film exhibition, film genre, early cinema, and documentary filmmaking. Among his books are The Perils of Moviegoing in America, 1896-1950 (Bloomsbury/Continuum, 2011), which Kevin Brownlow heralded as “completely original”, and Emerald Illusions: The Irish in Early American Cinema (Irish Academic Press, 2011), which the journal Film and History praised for its “exhaustive research and crystalline prose.”Rhodes has edited such scholarly anthologies as Horror at the Drive-In: Essays in Popular Americana (McFarland, 2003), which the Journal of Popular Culture called “impressive and considerable”; and Docufictions: Essays on the Intersection of Documentary and Fictional Filmmaking (McFarland, 2005, with John Parris Springer), the first anthology on the subject of the mockumentary genre, which John Belton “recommended” in Choice.Some of his other anthologies have concentrated on individual film directors, as in the case of Stanley Kubrick: Essays into His Films and Legacy (McFarland, 2008); Edgar G. Ulmer: Detour on Poverty Row (Lexington, 2008), which Senses of Cinema dubbed a “dynamic handbook,”; and The Films of Joseph H. Lewis (Wayne State UP, 2012), which Phil Robins of Cambridge University called a “welcome testament.”Rhodes is probably best known for his work on horror cinema, which has appealed to scholarly and popular audiences, notably his star studies of actor Bela Lugosi. In a book review for Fangoria, author David-Elijah Nahmod suggested that Rhodes “may be primarily responsible for the cult of Lugosi that exists today.” According to Starbust magazine, \"Scholar Gary D. Rhodes has spent his career debunking myths about classic horror cinema in general and Bela Lugosi’s life and work in particular. He has done this through meticulous research, leaving no stone unturned along the way.\" In 2015, Rhodes was inducted into the Rondo “Monster Kid Hall of Fame”; others who have received the award include Guillermo del Toro and Roger Corman.His books in the area include Lugosi (McFarland, 1996), which Fangoria said “probably won’t be topped”; White Zombie: Anatomy of a Horror Film (McFarland, 2001), which Bright Lights hailed as a benchmark for single-film studies; Bela Lugosi, Dreams and Nightmares (Collectables, 2006), which director Joe Dante called a “treasure trove”; No Traveler Returns: The Lost Years of Bela Lugosi (BearManor Media, 2012, with Bill Kaffenberger; Tod Browning's Dracula (Tomahawk, 2014), which Sight & Sound praised for tackling the film “afresh,”; and Bela Lugosi in Person (BearManor Media, 2015, with Bill Kaffenberger), which Donald F. Glut called “incredibly well-researched.”Rhodes’ early documentary films concentrated on the subject of jazz music. His first film was Solo Flight: The Genius of Charlie Christian (1992). Directed by Rhodes when he was only eighteen years old, the film received positive reviews in such publications as The Christian Science Monitor, Booklist, Cadence, and the The L.A. Jazz Scene. The making of the film not only revealed the location of Christian’s hitherto-unknown and unmarked burial spot, but it also raised funds for a historical marker to be placed upon the site. Rhodes’ next film, Fiddlin’ Man: The Life and Times of Bob Wills (1993), became a successful fundraiser for a number of PBS stations. Downbeat lauded the film for “doing justice” to its legendary subject.Rhodes’ other documentaries focus on the subject of film history, such as Lugosi: Hollywood's Dracula (1999), a finalist at the Hollywood Film Festival in the year 2000. SF Weekly called it “sublime.” Then, his film Banned in Oklahoma (2005) chronicled an unfolding, five-year legal battle over the banning of Volker Schlöndorff’s The Tin Drum in Oklahoma. In 2005, the Criterion Collection released Banned in Oklahoma on DVD with The Tin Drum (1979). The documentary – which the Dallas Morning News called a “worthy mate” to the German masterpiece – also shared the award for best film at the 2004 Deadcenter Film Festival in Oklahoma.Rhodes also directed the mockumentary film Chair (2000), and the fictional feature Wit's End (2005) starring Rue McClanahan, Darryl Cox, Udo Kier, and William Sanderson.As of 2014, Rhodes became series editor (with Robert Singer) of the ReFocus series of books on neglected American film directors, published by Edinburgh University Press. He also sits on the editorial board of the peer-reviewed journal Horror Studies.At The Queen's University, Rhodes has served as Director of Film Studies, Co-Director of Film Studies, and as MA Convenor. In 2015, The Guardian named Film Studies at Queen's as one of the top ten film programs in the United Kingdom.In addition to his other work, Rhodes publishes fiction and poetry under pseudonyms and, occasionally, under his own name. He has also booked jazz concerts in Oklahoma.At present he is completing The Birth of the American Horror Film, a book that covers the subject to 1915, as well as a biography of William Fox.".
