Synopsis de l’éditeur
An enchanting, endearing feature of this detailed and serious study of four films by Walter Ruttmann, Stan Brakhage, Naomi Uman and Martin Arnold is that it advances through a series of anecdotes, conversations, diversions, cross-references and speculations, capturing the spirit of the avant-garde in critical writing, a feat at once difficult and joyful. -- Brinda Bose * Telegraph India * Absence in Cinema is a dazzling, meticulously detailed, even revolutionary work. Remes's style is so assured with such a light and knowing touch that the reader is propelled through the book from first page to last. -- Wheeler Winston Dixon, author of <i>Synthetic Cinema: The 21st Century Movie Machine</i> This theoretically sophisticated book about a set of exemplary avant-garde films during which there is either "nothing" to see or "nothing" to hear, or both, is a remarkably fun read. Justin Remes is a magician who makes Nothing in cinema Something! -- Scott MacDonald, editor of <i>Avant-Doc: Intersections of Documentary and Avant-Garde Cinema</i> Absence in Cinema is about mysterious gaps and thwarted expectations. Starting from the idea that "every absence is a presence in disguise", Justin Remes combines aesthetic analysis with psychology, neuroscience and Buddhist philosophy to construct a powerful theory of erasure in experimental film culture. Taking in invisible art, soundless music and wordless poetry, Absence in Cinema is as incisive and radical as its subject matter. -- Holly Rogers, author of <i>Sounding the Gallery: Video and the Rise of Art Music</i> An important, vital contribution to film studies that will appeal to all scholars, students, and (especially) teachers of cinema...Highly recommended. * Choice * A witty, richly detailed book... a delight to read. * Journal of Cinema and Media Studies * Lire la suite...
