The actions, images and stories within films can impact upon the
political consciousness of viewers, enabling their audience to
imagine ways of resisting the status quo, politically, economically
and culturally. But what does political theory have to say about
film? Should we explore film theory through a political lens? Why
might individuals respond to the political within films? This book
connects the work of eight radical political theorists to eight
world-renowned films and shows how the political impact of film on
the aesthetic self can lead to the possibility of political
resistance. Each chapter considers the work of a core thinker on
film, shows its relevance in terms of a specific case study film,
then highlights how these films probe political issues in a way
that invites viewers to think critically about them, both within
the internal logic of the film and in how that might impact
externally on the way they live their lives. Examining this
dialogue enables Ian Fraser to demonstrate the possibility of a
political impact of films on our own consciousness and identity,
and that of others.
