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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"description_2\">\n<h4>Key features<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Includes well-known and fresh voices of essay film practice from around the world<\/li>\n<li>Features examples from essay film practice as research<\/li>\n<li>Contains interviews with non-western filmmakers, in-depth case studies of global essay film practice and self-reflexive essays by scholars and film practitioners<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Includes case studies of works by:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>John Akomfrah<\/li>\n<li>No\u00ebl Burch and Allan Sekula<\/li>\n<li>Frances Calvert<\/li>\n<li>Toshi Fujiwara<\/li>\n<li>Grant Gee<\/li>\n<li>Amos Gitai<\/li>\n<li>Cathy Greenhalgh<\/li>\n<li>Jos\u00e9 Luis Guer\u00edn<\/li>\n<li>Jonas Mekas<\/li>\n<li>Angela Melitopoulos<\/li>\n<li>Luc Moullet<\/li>\n<li>Nguyen Trinh Thi<\/li>\n<li>David Perlov<\/li>\n<li>Agnieszka Piotrowska<\/li>\n<li>Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Zhao Liang<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Text from listing at Edinburgh University Press,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/edinburghuniversitypress.com\/book-world-cinema-and-the-essay-film.html\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Co-edited by\u00a0Brenda Hollweg\u00a0and\u00a0Igor Krsti\u0107.
