[ecrea] New book Critical Cinema: Beyond the Theory of Practice

New publication

/Critical Cinema: Beyond the Theory of Practice/ purges the obstructive 
line between the making of and the theorising on film, uniting theory 
and practice in order to move beyond the commercial confines of 
Hollywood. Opening with an introduction by Bill Nichols, one of the 
world’s leading writers on nonfiction film, this volume features 
original contributions by such prominent authors as Noel Burch, Laura 
Mulvey, Peter Wollen, Brian Winston and Patrick Fuery. Seminal 
filmmakers such as Peter Greenway and Mike Figgis also contribute to the 
debate. Invoking radical film practice itself as a form of theoretical 
exploration it asks why filmmaking students today do not engender film 
radicalism, making this book a critical text for students, academics, 
and independent filmmakers as well as for any reader interested in new 
perspectives on culture and film.
