A Critical Cinema 5: Interviews with Independent Filmmakers Tapa blanda - 2006

Primera línea

In the introductions to earlier volumes of the Critical Cinema project, I have focused on the "critical" function of the films that instigate my interviewing: their creation of an evolving critique of conventional media and the audience that has developed for it, their potentially "critical" educational function in expanding the awareness of teachers and students about the pedagogical opportunities of cinema.

Descripción de contraportada

"Critical Cinema 5, and indeed the entire series, is a monumental achievement. MacDonald's detailed knowledge of many branches of cinema, and his subtle and generous insight, allow him to frame his interviews with the most important independent filmmakers in such a way as to elicit the most interesting aspects of their perceptions of their work and its context. The scholarship is superior, and MacDonald writes clearly, honestly, and elegantly."--David E. James, author of The Most Typical Avant-Garde

"Both MacDonald and his subjects are thoughtful, articulate, engaging. The result is a work that is as readable as it is informative and insightful."--William Wees, author of Light Moving in Time
