Towards an alternative history of the video essay: Westdeutscher Rundfunk, Cologne

December 7, 2017/in Audiovisual Essays, Autumn 2017_#Dress /by Greg DeCuir

by Volker Pantenburg This dossier on audiovisual essays focuses on a trajectory in the history of the video essay that tends to be ignored in current discussions of the format. According to a well-known genealogical account, the video essay was born from the encounter of platforms like YouTube, social media, cinephilia 2.0, inexpensive DIY editing […]

Marx at the Movies / Cartographies of the Absolute

December 7, 2017/in Autumn 2017_#Dress, Book Reviews, Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

It is difficult to separate the history of cinema, a form of art so embedded within the twentieth century, from the history of Communism. Perhaps it is not only because of the coincidence of the two dates of birth but, rather, there is something more profound and more structural in regards to their common heritage […]

Social Media – New Masses / Updating to Remain the Same

December 7, 2017/in Autumn 2017_#Dress, Book Reviews, Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

Do we still live in a mass society? Does that foul spectre of the long and dark 20th century – the masses – extend into the 21st? We would perhaps like to believe that it does not. Or should we say they do not? Part of the anxiety over this strange socio-logical category can already […]

A new era of Maghrebi-French cinema: Two perspectives

December 7, 2017/in Autumn 2017_#Dress, Book Reviews, Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

Whose perspective is this? A few thoughts on Eija-Liisa Ahtila’s Studies on the Ecology of Drama

December 7, 2017/1 Comment/in Autumn 2017_#Dress, Exhibition Reviews, Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

Since the early 1990s, Finnish artist Eija-Liisa Ahtila has been considered a master of the split-screen installation form. Her large-scale, multi-channel cinematic works create specific perceptual situations, while investigating the construction of audiovisual discourses and testing potentialities and limits of cinematic narration. In her works, Ahtila challenges cinema’s conventions of single-channel storytelling, using multiple screens […]

Topophilic tendencies at Birmingham’s Flatpack Film Festival

December 6, 2017/in Autumn 2017_#Dress, Festival Reviews, Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

Described variously in the media over the years as ‘one of the most idiosyncratic film events in the UK’[1] and ‘willfully eclectic’,[2] the eleventh edition of Birmingham’s Flatpack Film Festival (Flatpack)[3] took place 4-9 April 2017.[4] Situated in the UK’s second city, Flatpack[5] has come to embody a specific representation of its home city that […]

Breaking down the tribes: Opening night films at Frameline and Sydney Mardi Gras Film Festival

December 6, 2017/in Autumn 2017_#Dress, Festival Reviews, Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

The opening night film for an LGBTQ film festival is a rare opportunity to bring all the members of the community together. As such, it is imperative for the films in this privileged position to resonate with audiences beyond merely having a gay or lesbian character. The queerness of the films of these festivals can […]

Fashion film festivals: Shifting perspectives on fashion in one of the world’s dirtiest industries

December 6, 2017/in Autumn 2017_#Dress, Festival Reviews, Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

Fashion film festivals have quite suddenly mushroomed worldwide. After the establishment of the pioneering Fashion in Film Festival[1] in 2006 in London, the idea was picked up in Paris by fashion critic and blogger Diane Pernet, who founded A Shaded View On Fashion Film[2] in 2008. From then on, the fashion film festival concept has […]

Mapping the fashion film festival landscape: Fashion, film, and the digital age

December 6, 2017/1 Comment/in Autumn 2017_#Dress, Festival Reviews, Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

The digital revolution and the reorganisation of the media environment have contributed to the emergence of new forms to communicate and to apprehend media.
