Most serious film books during the last twenty years have focused
on theoretical issues, film history, or film analyses, leaving
production to the side. This text, however, designed for beginning
film production courses, fills that void, opening the production
process to pertinent, argumentative notions and incorporating
material from Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Lyotard, and Derrida, among
others. Although Geuens covers screenwriting, lighting, staging,
and framing, among other production issues, he avoids the strictly
vocational or "professional" approach to film teaching currently
applied to most production courses.
Geuens reevaluates what cinema could be, to revive its full
powers and attend to the mystery of the creative process. To
counter Hollywood's normative machinery, he suggests taking back
from the professionals important notions they have arrogated for
themselves but rarely act upon: artistry, passion, and
engagement.
