  • Beschreibung: Explores the essay film as a global film practiceWorld Cinema and the Essay Film examines the ways in which essay film practices are deployed by non-Western filmmakers in specific local and national contexts, in an interconnected world. The book identifies the essay film as a political and ethical tool to reflect upon and potentially resist the multiple, often contradictory effects of globalization. With case studies of essayistic works by John Akomfrah, Nguyen Trinh Thi and Apichatpong Weerasethakul, amongst many others, and with a photo-essay by Trinh T. Min-ha and a discussion of Frances Calvert’s work, it expands current research on the essay film beyond canonical filmmakers and frameworks, and presents transnational perspectives on what is becoming a global film practice.Key features Includes well-known and fresh voices of essay film practice from around the world Features examples from essay film practice as researchContains interviews with non-western filmmakers, in-depth case studies of global essay film practice and self-reflexive essays by scholars and film practitioners Includes case studies of works by:John AkomfrahNoël Burch and Allan SekulaFrances CalvertToshi FujiwaraGrant GeeAmos GitaiCathy GreenhalghJosé Luis GuerínJonas MekasAngela MelitopoulosLuc MoulletNguyen Trinh ThiDavid PerlovAgnieszka PiotrowskaApichatpong Weerasethakul and Zhao Liang
