Description

Ex-Cinema offers insightful readings of a diverse range of avant-garde films and videos, including Derek Jarman's Blue and Martin Arnold's found footage works. Akira Lippit's essays explore the philosophical implications of experimental film and video, challenging conventional notions of cinema.

This collection of essays on avant-garde film and video showcases Lippit's precise intelligence and critical acumen, stretching our understanding of cinema. The author's writing resonates with the affective impact of the works he discusses, from Derek Jarman's Blue to Jacques Derrida's work on blindness and the spectral.

Ex-Cinema is a thought-provoking tour through a series of provocative and groundbreaking works, inviting readers to consider the boundaries between interiority and exteriority, medium specificity, and narratives of the self.
