The essay film : from Montaigne, after Marker / Timothy Corrigan Oxford ; New York: Oxford University Press, 2011.
Call No: 632.22 CORAuthor: Corrigan, Timothy Edition: 2011Place: Oxford ; New YorkPublisher: Oxford University PressPubDate: 2011PhysDes: 238 pages : illustrated ; 24 cmSubject: DOCUMENTARY FILMS ; MCELWEE, ROSS ; VARDA, AGNES ; KIAROSTAMI, ABBAS ; FOLMAN, ARI ; MARKER, CHRIS Summary: Even though essay films have been a key practice since the 1950s, there is scant analysis about this form in English. Part of this is likely due to the inherent difficulty of definition. The films, which foreground subjectivity and adopt an explicit, personal approach to their subject matter, can look and feel very different from one another. Their coherence as a group, however, comes into focus when contextualized as part of the larger tradition from which they draw. By looking to the literary and philosophical lineage of the essay form, Corrigan brings new clarity to a practice that, arguably, is one of the most common and successful in contemporary film culture. The Essay Film situates its investigation in the literary tradition of essayists such as Montaigne, Barthes, and Huxley before moving to an expansive discussion of filmmakers such as Derek Jarman, Allan Clark, Werner Herzog, Harun Farocki, Chantal Akerman, Chris Marker, Errol Morris, Nanni Moretti, Agnès Varda, Ross McElwee, Abbas Kiarostami, Raoul Ruiz, Lynne Sachs, and Trinh T.

Essays on the essay film / edited by Nora M. Alter; Timothy Corrigan Chichester, U.K.: Columbia University Press, 2017.
Call No: 632.22 ESSAuthor: Alter, Nora M. ; Corrigan, Timothy Place: New York; Chichester, U.K.Publisher: Columbia University PressPubDate: 2017PhysDes: ix,372 : illus. ; 23 cmSeries: Film and culture seriesSubject: DOCUMENTARY FILMS ; RICHTER, HANS ; ASTRUC, ALEXANDRE ; MARKER, CHRIS ; VERTOV, DZIGA ; GODARD, JEAN-LUC ; GORIN, JEAN-PIERRE ; MULVEY, LAURA ; JULIEN, ISAAC Summary: The essay—with its emphasis on the provisional and explorative rather than on definitive statements—has evolved from its literary beginnings and is now found in all mediums, including film. Today, the essay film is, arguably, one of the most widely acclaimed and critically discussed forms of filmmaking around the world, with practitioners such as Chris Marker, Hito Steyerl, Errol Morris, Trinh T. Minh-ha, and Rithy Panh. Characteristics of the essay film include the blending of fact and fiction, the mixing of art- and documentary-film styles, the foregrounding of subjective points of view, a concentration on public life, a tension between acoustic and visual discourses, and a dialogic encounter with audiences.
This anthology of fundamental statements on the essay film offers a range of crucial historical and philosophical perspectives. It provides early critical articulations of the essay film as it evolved through the 1950s and 1960s, key contemporary scholarly essays, and a selection of writings by essay filmmakers. It features texts on the foundations of the essay film by writers such as Hans Richter and André Bazin; contemporary positions by, among others, Phillip Lopate and Michael Renov; and original essays by filmmakers themselves, including Laura Mulvey and Isaac Julien. -- publishers' web siteISBN: 9780231172677Contents: Introduction, by Nora M.
