World Cinema and the Essay Film examines the ways in which essay
film practices are deployed by non-Western filmmakers in specific
local and national contexts, in an interconnected world. The book
identifies the essay film as a political and ethical tool to
reflect upon and potentially resist the multiple, often
contradictory effects of globalization. With case studies of
essayistic works by John Akomfrah, Nguyen Trinh Thi and Apichatpong
Weerasethakul, amongst many others, and with a photo-essay by Trinh
T. Min-ha and a discussion of Frances Calvert's work, it expands
current research on the essay film beyond canonical filmmakers and
frameworks, and presents transnational perspectives on what is
becoming a global film practice.
