Sun Sep 17 15:14:15 GMT 2006


>Apologies for cross-posting but thought the following event from
>Wallflower Press would be of interest:
>
>
>PANEL DISCUSSION AND BOOK LAUNCH - FILMOSOPHY by Daniel Frampton
>London Review Bookshop 28th September
>
>Filmosophy by Daniel Frampton is a manifesto for a radically new way of
>understanding cinema.
>
>The book coalesces twentieth-century ideas of film as thought (from Hugo
>Münsterberg to Gilles Deleuze) into a practical theory of film-thinking,
>arguing that film style conveys poetic ideas through a constant
>dramatic intent about the characters, spaces and events of film.
>
>With discussions of contemporary filmmakers such as Béla Tarr, Michael
>Haneke and the Dardenne brothers, this timely intervention into the study
>of film and philosophy will stir argument and discussion among both
>filmgoers and filmmakers alike.
>
>To find out more about Filmosophy, you can read the introduction online
>at: www.filmosophy.org
>
>Wallflower Press are delighted to launch this exciting title at a public
>panel discussion with wine and snacks at the London Review Bookshop on
>28th September.
