The past is always changing: An interview with Tom Gunning

December 8, 2022/in Autumn 2022_#Materiality, Interviews /by Greg DeCuir

Tom Gunning is one of the most influential and widely cited film historians in the world with over 150 essays and publications on early cinema, the avant-garde, and film genres. He has published extensively on questions of film style and interpretation, film history and film culture, and on early cinema as well as on the culture of modernity from which cinema arose. In his seminal studies of the ‘cinema of attractions’, the concept he famously proposed, he set a new research agenda for early cinema studies by relating the development of cinema to other forces besides storytelling, such as new experiences of space and time in modernity, the relation between cinema and technology, and an emerging modern visual culture. Film culture, the avant-garde movements, the historical factors of exhibition and criticism, and the spectator’s experience throughout film history are recurrent themes in his work. In this interview, Malte Hagener and Annie van den Oever talk with Gunning about his writing process and his inspirations, the people he considers his mentors (Annette Michelson, Jay Leyda, Eileen Bowser, and David Francis), the legendary 1978 FIAF conference in Brighton, and the future of film studies.

Nothing short of a revolution: A conversation with Frank Saptel of the Canadian Labour International Film Festival

June 14, 2020/1 Comment/in Festival Reviews, Interviews, Reviews, Spring 2020_#Intelligence /by Greg DeCuir

Film festivals cannot always claim to practice what they preach. Even some of the best-intentioned festivals often hit a wall: while attempting to exhibit politically subversive films, organisers also have to respond to diverse – and even conflicting – voices. Responding to the demands of local communities, audiences, filmmakers, and sponsors leads to compromises and […]

How do film festivals work?: A conversation with Joshua Oppenheimer

December 4, 2016/in Autumn 2016_#Home, Festival Reviews, Interviews, Reviews /by Greg DeCuir
