504    Includes bibliographical references and index 
520    "With its increasing presence in a continuously evolving 
       media environment, the essay film as a visual form raises 
       new questions about the construction of the subject, its 
       relationship to the world, and the aesthetic possibilities
       of cinema. In this volume, authors specializing in various
       national cinemas (American, Cuban, French, German, Israeli,
       Italian, Lebanese, Russian) and critical approaches 
       (historical, aesthetic, postcolonial, feminist, 
       philosophical) explore the essay film and its consequences
       for the theory of cinema while building on and challenging
       existing theories. Taking as a guiding principle the essay
       form's dialogic, fluid nature, this volume examines the 
       potential of the essayistic to question, investigate, and 
       reflect on all forms of cinema--fiction film, popular 
       cinema, documentary, video installation, and digital 
       essay. A wide range of filmmakers are covered, from Dziga 
       Vertov (Man with a movie camera), Chris Marker 
       (Description of a struggle), Nicoláa Guillén Landrián 
       (Coffea arábiga), Pier Paolo Pasolini (Notes for an 
       African Oresteia), Chantal Akerman (News from home), 
       Mohammed Soueid (Civil war), Claire Denis (L'intrus), and 
       Terrence Malick (The tree of life), among others. This 
       volume argues that the essayistic in film--as process, as 
       experience, as experiment--opens the road to key issues 
       faced by the individual in relation to the collective, but
       can also lead to its own subversion, as a form of 
       dialectical thought that gravitates towards crisis"--Back
