Description
Landscape and Film explores a fundamental aspect of cinema that has been largely overlooked in theory and criticism. This collection of new work examines how cinematic landscape differs from landscape painting, its deployment in various filmmakers' works, and its relationship to national identity and the concept of a national cinema. The book presents an impressive international cast of contributors, including prominent film scholars such as Jacques Aumont, Tom Conley, and David B. Clarke. Through their analysis, the volume addresses key questions about cinematic landscape, including its use in Western filmmaking and in the work of Middle Eastern and Asian filmmakers. By shedding light on this often-overlooked aspect of cinema, Landscape and Film provides a valuable contribution to film studies and media research.
