This collection presents, for the first time in English,
Jean-Francois Lyotard's major essays on film: 'Acinema', 'The
Unconscious as Mise-en-scene', 'Two Metamorphoses of the Seductive
in Cinema' and 'The Idea of a Sovereign Film'. Then, eight critical
essays by philosophers and film theorists examine Lyotard's film
work and influence across two sections: 'Approaches and
Interpretations' and 'Applications and Extensions'. These works are
complemented by an introductory essay by leading French scholar
Jean-Michel Durafour on Lyotard's film-philosophy, an overview of
Lyotard's practical film projects written by his collaborators
Claudine Eizykman and Guy Fihman, and the synopsis for a later film
project Memorial Immemorial, which Lyotard proposed but was not
produced. Jean-Francois Lyotard was the most significant
aesthetician of the poststructuralist generation, but this
dimension of his thought is only recently beginning to receive the
attention it deserves in the English-speaking world. He devoted a
number of essays to film, and was involved in making several
experimental short films. Lyotard's reflections on film offer a
perspective which seeks to do justice to it as an art by focusing
on its aesthetic, material qualities. His work in this area remains
a largely untapped resource, with the potential for inaugurating
exciting new directions in film-philosophy.
