This book provides a timely contribution to the discussion on what constitutes the 'political' in the art of filmmaking

The book is especially relevant as filmmakers and the film industry at large grow concscious of the relations between politics and art

The book is grounded in the analytic philosophy of art and cognitivist film theory, with insights from political science, political philosophy, epistemology, and cognitive science, and thus presents a unique analysis of the relation between films and the 'political'

The book also includes detailed case studies, and the author uses specific films as examples of the applicability and explanatory power of this theoretical framework

This book will be of interest not just to film studies, film theory and political philosophy scholars, but to anyone with an interest in political film, aesthetic practice, and philosophy of art
