Description

Pedro Costa's films are a complex and multifaceted body of work, reflecting the cultural, production, and exhibition contexts in which they were made. This study examines Costa's feature films, shorts, and video installations within the broader context of Portuguese, European, and global art film. By exploring Costa's working practices, the impact of digital video on his filmmaking, and the dialogue between modes of production and aesthetics, this book provides a critical analysis of one of the most important filmmakers of contemporary art cinema. It also considers how Costa's creative output was received and circulated through various channels, including film festivals, art galleries, and home video markets. This in-depth study is written by Nuno Barradas Jorge, who teaches in the Department of Cultural, Media and Visual Studies at the University of Nottingham.
