Book Presentation:
The volume deals with the concept of art in relation to film, covering both aesthetic theory and concrete works. The spectrum includes feature films and documentaries. The focus is on the aesthetic innovations of the medium throughout its history and in the present. The development of visual ideas is related to the historical and social context of their creation and reception. The focus is on film authors, film artists and film movements that can be found not only in independent film but also in the mainstream.
