A Machine for Viewing

July 2, 2020/in Audiovisual Essays, Spring 2020_#Intelligence

by Richard Misek In 1970, experimental filmmaker Peter Kubelka designed a cinema auditorium for Anthology Film Archives in New York, in which ‘shell-like’ seats and reams of black velvet caused all but the screen to disappear into darkness.[1] He referred to his Invisible Cinema as ‘a machine for viewing’.[2] Though the movie theatre is now […]

From ‘video essay’ to ‘video monograph’?: Indy Vinyl as academic book

June 15, 2020/in Features, Spring 2020_#Intelligence

Sarah Barrow argues that the video essay provides a ‘viable alternative to the academic book’.[1] This article explores that claim, considering how a video essay-based project can pursue a single topic in the manner of a monograph. The case study is Indy Vinyl, my collection of video essays and writing about vinyl records in American Independent Cinema. I argue that an approach informed by traditional scholarly values should be augmented by more exploratory thinking, when moving from written to practice-based forms of film criticism.

Autumn 2020_#Method, call for submissions

January 19, 2020/in News

‘There is a point at which methods devour themselves.’ – Frantz Fanon (Black Skin, White Masks) One can observe, in recent years, an obsession with methods – both in humanities research and teaching. Discussions include apprehensions about the imminent obsolescence of established media studies methodologies, a more liberal (in all senses?) search for synergies with […]

The Mighty Maestro on Screen

December 21, 2019/in Audiovisual Essays, Autumn 2019_#Gesture

by Evelyn Kreutzer In this audiovisual study, I look at music-performative gestures of ‘fetishisation’. Against the backdrop of the mid-century celebrity conductor figure, as well as larger historical discourses around mediated music consumption, I focus on two conductors in two films, which draw on the same musical composition: Disney’s Fantasia (1940) and Hugo Niebling’s Pastorale […]

Gesture in ‘A Woman Under the Influence’, a charting of relations

December 21, 2019/in Audiovisual Essays, Autumn 2019_#Gesture

by Tracy Cox-Stanton voiceover transcript 1 writing parts and wholes In the essay film, like the video essay, words are not just ideas. They’re also sounds and images.  When an essay film examines its object, words often fade away completely, supplanted by the complex signifying landscape of mise en scène. The video essay, like the […]

Gesture and videographic writing: Manifesting the ‘in between’

December 21, 2019/in Audiovisual Essays, Autumn 2019_#Gesture

by Tracy Cox-Stanton Reflecting on her audiovisual study of a dance sequence in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Laura Mulvey notes that ‘digitally derived “delayed cinema” [has] a special, privileged relationship to cinematic gesture’.[1] Building upon her arguments in Death Twenty-four Times a Second,[2] Mulvey discusses how digital editing tools enable the film scholar to fragment a […]

‘Breaking Bad’ and surrealism

May 27, 2019/in Audiovisual Essays, Spring 2019_#Emotions

by Angelo Restivo To begin with, I would want to stress that in this video – which juxtaposes images from the television series Breaking Bad with scenes from the archive of surrealist filmmaking – I am decidedly not claiming that these resonances and rhymes were intentional citations by the production team of the television series.
