Dear colleagues
You may be interested in this new publication which, in addition to the illustrious folk mentioned below, includes a small contribution from me.
Critical Cinema: Beyond the Theory of Practice purges the obstructive line between the making of and the theorising on film, uniting theory and practice in order to move beyond the commercial confines of Hollywood. Opening with an introduction by Bill Nichols, one of the world’s leading writers on nonfiction film, this volume features original contributions by such prominent authors as Noel Burch, Laura Mulvey, Peter Wollen, Brian Winston and Patrick Fuery. Seminal filmmakers such as Peter Greenaway and Mike Figgis also contribute to the debate. Invoking radical film practice itself as a form of theoretical exploration it asks why filmmaking students today do not engender film radicalism, making this book a critical text for students, academics, and independent filmmakers as well as for any reader interested in new perspectives on culture and film.
Critical Cinema: Beyond the Theory of Practice is edited by Clive Myer and is a Wallflower publication from Columbia University Press.
