Description de l'ouvrage :
Film, In Theory offers the first sustained history of the formation of modern film studies in Britain. It balances unpublished archival materials from the BFI archive and interviews with key figures from the era, including Laura Mulvey, Colin MacArthur, Jacqueline Rose, Judith Williamson, and many more, with an approach rooted in cultural and intellectual history to tell the story of the BFI's fresh and invigorating approach to film studies.
The book tells the story of the institute's pioneering education programme, spearheaded by Paddy Whannel. It also details the remarkable work undertaken by Screen journal, including first-hand accounts of the writing and editing of Laura Mulvey's hugely influential essay on visual pleasure and narrative cinema. During this period of cultural and intellectual experimentation, the theoretical borders were open and key figures at the BFI borrowed from a remarkably wide range of sources spanning aesthetics, Marxism, French theory, and the Frankfurt School. Film Studies emerged amidst an artistic and intellectual tide where the films of Jean-Luc Godard, the re-discovery of Hollywood, the structuralism of Claude Lévi-Strauss, the semiology of Roland Barthes, and the politics of the 'New Left' combined and collided to intoxicating effect.

Revue de Presse :
"A revelation! McAuliffe shows how, from the late 1950s to the 1980s, the BFI Education Department was an agent of popular modernism, a para-academic experiment, an engine of critical thinking about the possibilities of cinema. In dusty basements, coffee houses, summer schools: all change." ―Sukhdev Sandhu, Director of the Colloquium for Unpopular Culture, New York University, USA
