Other Cinemas: Politics, Culture and Experimental Film in the 1970s
Editat de Sue Clayton, Laura Mulveyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 mar 2021
Exploring and celebrating the work of The Other Cinema, the London Film-makers' Co-op and other cornerstones of today's film culture, as well as the impact of creatives such as William Raban and Stephen Dwoskin - and Mulvey and Clayton themselves - this important book takes account of a wave of socially-aware film practice. Without this body of work, today's activist, queer, minority and feminist voices in cinema would have struggled to gather such impact.

Recenzii
An invaluable reference source for academics, researchers and the wider public less familiar with this significant period of British film history.
This anthology brilliantly reflects the struggles and achievements of a generation of filmmakers and film scholars outside Britain's commercial entertainment industry. Edited by two key figures from the movement and introducing texts by leading contemporary scholars on this period, this book offers new insights into a vibrant, influential and often highly contested film culture.
This superb collection of essays presents a very timely reconsideration of many key independent and radical films of the 1970s, their context of production and exhibition then, and their continuing importance for the aesthetics and politics of image-making in our current era of the digital and global.
This book is distinctive in the way it gathers different threads and focuses on actual films and exhibition practices while at the same maintaining an approach that privileges critical theory. It also benefits from the editorial policy of commissioning partly from people who, like the editors, participated in the 1970s movement and partly from much younger authors.
As befits its subject, the loose network of film and video collectives which bloomed in the wake of 1968, this edited collection offers a variety of angles whose effect is cumulative. The 'other cinemas' of the title ranged from the agit-prop Cinema Action to Black Audio Film Collective; from Laura Mulvey and Peter Wollen, closely associated with Screen, house journal of cine-structuralism, to the 'structural/materialist' London Film-Makers' Co-op, whose members at their most extreme rejected all forms of representation; and from the feminist Circles screening collective to the 'subjective documentarist' Stephen Dwoskin.
