Snake oil in N—–town

May 29, 2017/in Audiovisual Essays, Spring 2017_#True

by Steven Boone I happened upon Roger Corman’s 1962 film The Intruder while casually surfing YouTube. Some twist of algorithmic fate led the site to suggest that movie for me. Less than five minutes into the film I understood why: William Shatner, America’s Captain, pop sci-fi royalty, utters the word ‘nigger’. YouTube knows that I […]

by​ ​THE ANTI-BANALITY UNION​, 1 March 2017 It echoed loudly in an escalating confrontation between extreme ends of the political spectrum.[1] The presence of thousands of camouflage-clad National Guard troops and armored vehicles was a sign that the city was not quite back to normal.

May 28, 2017/in Audiovisual Essays, Spring 2017_#True

by Kevin B. Lee This selection of video essays is curated for an issue of the journal NECSUS with the special section theme #True.

Taking stock: Two decades of teaching the history, theory, and practice of audiovisual film criticism

May 28, 2017/in Features, Spring 2017_#True

by Michael Witt Introduction Recent years have seen rapid growth in the use of the digital audiovisual essay in teaching and research, including in film and screen studies.[1] This phenomenon has been fuelled by a number of interrelated developments: easier access to copies of films; increased availability of domestic computers and digital editing software; the […]

Being Bowie

December 4, 2016/in Audiovisual Essays, Autumn 2016_#Home

by Will Brooker and Rebecca Hughes Brooker This film documents a project that began when a musical hero and cultural icon of mine died. Lou Reed passed away in October 2013, which made me realise I should celebrate one of my other heroes, David Bowie, while he was still alive. My way of paying tribute […]

House Arrest

December 4, 2016/in Audiovisual Essays, Autumn 2016_#Home

by Domietta Torlasco I have always been interested in doing what Godard once described as ‘research in the form of a spectacle’. Even in my writing, I begin by collecting images and quotes, treating the latter as passages (walkways), visible points of entry into a world (of ideas) that for me always maintains a sensorial, […]

by Juan Daniel F. Molero ‘It’s amazing that Steven Spielberg needed $20 million to make Raiders of the Lost Ark, and my dad only had his allowance’, says the son of one of three Mississippi teenagers who created a shot-for-shot remake of Spielberg’s film in the late 1980s. It all started as a fan project […]

Learning from popular genres – with help from the audiovisual essay

November 16, 2015/in Audiovisual Essays, Autumn 2015_'Vintage'

by Cristina Álvarez López and Adrian Martin It is sometimes observed that the burgeoning form of the audiovisual essay (of the analytic kind that has been featured in recent issues of NECSUS) is good for close, detailed work on individual films, television episodes, or digital art works, but less suitable for the type of broader […]

A note on Comedy Vitti Style (2015)

November 3, 2015/in Audiovisual Essays, Autumn 2015_'Vintage'

by Pasquale Iannone I have often been frustrated that outside of Italy, and for English-language audiences in particular, the great Italian actress Monica Vitti is known almost exclusively for her collaboration with Michelangelo Antonioni in films such as L’Avventura (1960), La notte (1961), L’eclisse (1962), and Red Desert (1964). These films are undoubtedly groundbreaking, and […]
