Description
The Moving Form of Film: Historicizing the Medium through Other Media charts the ways in which crossing borders between film and other arts and media can provide an encompassing, inclusive, and non-teleological understanding of film history.
This is a truly remarkable volume, not just on account of its list of distinguished contributors. Using intermediality as its method, this collection manages to establish this most precious of balance: a study of film form that never loses sight of the medium's historicity. Naguib and Solomon's book literally brims with useful theorizations and concepts.
Lúcia Nagib is Professor of Film at the University of Reading. Stefan Solomon is Senior Lecturer in Media Studies at Macquarie University
