Marxism and film activism : Screening alternative worlds / edited by Ewa Mazierska and Lars Kristensen New York: Berghahn Books, July 2015.

Solanos, 1968) ; PALESTINE Notes: In Theses on Feuerbach, Marx writes, “The philosophers have only interpreted the world differently; the point is to change it.” This collection examines how filmmakers have tried to change the world by engaging in emancipatory politics through their work, and how audiences have received them. It presents a wide spectrum of case studies, covering both film and digital technology, with examples from throughout cinematic history and around the world, including Soviet Russia, Palestine, South America, and France. Discussions range from the classic Marxist cinema of Aleksandr Medvedkin, Chris Marker, and Jean-Luc Godard, to recent media such as 5 Broken Cameras (2010), the phenomena of video-blogging, and bicycle activism films. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781782386421Contents: CONTENTS

Although not part of a structured film movement, directors such as Carlos Reygadas, Tsai Ming-liang, Béla Tarr, Pedro Costa and Kelly Reichardt have been largely subsumed under the term ‘slow cinema’. But what exactly is slow cinema? Is it a strictly recent phenomenon or an overarching cinematic tradition? And how exactly do slow cinemas interrelate on an aesthetic, technical and political level?
Deploying the concept of slowness as an umbrella category under which filmmakers and traditions from different historical and geographical backgrounds can fruitfully converge, this innovative collection of essays interrogates and expands the frameworks that have generally informed slow cinema debates. Repositioning the term in a broader theoretical space, the book combines an array of fine-grained studies that will provide valuable insight into the notion of slowness in the cinema, while mapping out past and contemporary slow films across the globe. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780748696048Contents: Table Of Contents -- Illustrations -- Foreword / Julian Stringer -- Introduction: From Slow Cinema to Slow Cinemas / Tiago De Luca & Nuno Barradas Jorge -- Part I: Historicising Slow Cinema -- 1: The Politics of Slowness and the Traps of Modernity / Lúcia Nagib -- 2: The Slow Pulse of the Era: Carl Th.
