This collection of essays examines the ways in which writing and
cinema can be studied in relation to each other. A wide range of
material is presented, from essays which look at particular films,
including The Piano and The English Patient, to discussions of the
latest developments in film studies including psychoanalytic film
theory and the cultural study of film audiences. Specific topics
that the essays address also include: the kinds of writing produced
for the cinema industry, advertising, film adaptations of written
texts and theatre plays from nineteenth century 'classic' novels to
recent cyberpunk science fiction such as Blade Runner and Starship
Troopers. The essays deal with existing areas of debate, like
questions of authorship and audience, and also break new ground,
for example in proposing approaches to the study of writing on the
cinema screen. The book includes a select bibliography, and a
documents section gives details of a range of films for further
study.
