[Commlist] New book: Essay Film and Narrative Techniques -Screen-writing Non-fiction

Intellect is pleased to share that */Essay Film and Narrative 
Techniques: Screen-writing Non-fiction 
<https://www.intellectbooks.com/essay-film-and-narrative-techniques>/*, 
edited by Romana Turina and Kiki Tianqi Yu, is out in hardback!

The collection explores various methods of screen-writing for essay 
film, through a diverse set of reflections and analyses of canonical and 
unconventional approaches of essay filmmaking. It includes contributions 
from filmmakers and practice-led researchers, who reflect on their 
production process in the form of production diaries or self-critique, 
and analyses from scholars who investigate the production contexts of 
essay film, as well as interviews with filmmakers on how their practices 
are conceptualised and contextualised. Overall, it takes essay film as 
an expression of personal camera, collaborative/collective work, and 
experimental work where the boundaries between different art forms blurs 
and merges.
