The Film Paintings of David Lynch: Challenging Film Theory
By Allister Mactaggart
Now Available | ISBN 9781841503325 | Pb | Price £14.95, $25
Aimed at both Lynch fans and ?lm studies
specialists, Allister Mactaggart addresses
Lynch's ?lms from the perspective of the
relationship between commercial ?lm, avant-garde
art, and cultural theory. Individual Lynch works
are discussed in relation to other ?lms and
directors, illustrating that the solitary, or
seemingly isolated, experience of ?lm is itself
socially, culturally, and politically important.
Mactaggart offers a unique perspective on an
in?uential director, weaving together a range of
theoretical approaches to Lynch's ?lms to make
exciting new connections among ?lm theory, art history and psychoanalysis.

The work of acclaimed German artist Christoph
Schlingensief spans three decades and a diverse

Schlingensief's groundbreaking, politically
engaged body of work. Leading scholars in the
field offer a critical assessment of
Schlingensief's hybrid practice, and an interview

Don't Look Now: British Cinema in the 1970s
Edited by Paul Newland
Now Available | ISBN 9781841503202 | Pb | Price £19.95, $35
Don't Look Now uncovers forgotten but richly
rewarding ?lms, including Nicolas Roeg's Don't
Look Now and the ?lms of Lindsay Anderson and
Barney Platts-Mills. This volume offers insight
into the careers of important ?lm-makers and
sheds light on the genres of experimental ?lm,
horror and punk ?lms, as well as representations
of the black community, shifts in gender
politics, and adaptations of television comedies.
The contributors ask searching questions about
the nature of British ?lm culture and its
relationship to popular culture, television, and the cultural underground.
Searching for Art's New Publics
Edited by Jeni Walwin
Now Available | ISBN 9781841503110 | Pb | Price £19.95, $35
Drawing on contributions from practicing artists,
writers, curators and academics and bridging the
gap between practice and theory, this exciting
book touches on issues of relational aesthetics,
but also offers an illustrated artist-based
approach. Searching for Art's New Publics will
appeal to students studying fine art (especially
those with an interest in cross-disciplinary work
and public art) and those studying curating.
Cinema and Landscape: Film, Nation and Cultural Geography
Edited by Graeme Harper and Jonathan Rayner
Now Available | ISBN 9781841503097 | Pb | Price £14.95, $25
The notion of landscape is a complex one, but it
has been central to the art and artistry of the
cinema. After all, what is the French New Wave
without Paris? What are the films of Sidney
Lumet, Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese and Spike
Lee, without New York? Cinema and Landscape
frames up contemporary film landscapes across the
world, in a concentrated examination and
interrogation of screen aesthetics and national
ideology, film form and cultural geography,
cinematic representation and the human environment.
