Forms of the Cinematic Summary

Forms of the Cinematic: Architecture, Science and the Arts by Mark Breeze (Architect Filmmaker Director of Studies, St. John's College, University of Cambridge, UK)

This interdisciplinary collection explores how cinema calls into question its own frame of reference and, at the same time, how its form becomes the matter of its thought. Building on the axiom (cherished by philosophers of cinema from Epstein to Deleuze) that cinema is a medium that thinks in conjunction with its spectators, this book examines how various forms of the cinematic rethink and redraw the terrain of traditional disciplines, thereby enabling different modes of thought and practice. Areas under consideration by a range of leading academics and practitioners include architecture, science, writing in a visual field, event-theory and historiography.

Forms of the Cinematic Reviews

This rich interdisciplinary collection establishes the cinematic as a form for rethinking, revisualizing and reconstructing space and time, and as a socio-cultural tool that enables us to redefine our engagement with the world. Featuring texts by theorists and practitioners from philosophy, film studies, filmmaking, biology, documentary practice, screenwriting and architecture, often employing inventive research methodologies, the anthology is essential in its examination of cinema's wide ranging impact on different fields of knowledge. * Penelope Haralambidou, Professor of Architecture and Spatial Culture, University College London, UK *
