In the wake of the explosion in the production of essay films over
the last 25 years and its subsequent theorization in scholarly
literature, this volume seeks to historicize these intertwined
developments within the 'long duree' of the 20th century and into
the 21st. By raising the issue of 'beyond the essay film', this
collection seeks not only to acknowledge the influential
predecessors of this - in the view of many critics, the most
interesting type of contemporary filmmaking - but also to speculate
about its possible transformation as we move forward into the
uncharted waters of the 21st - digital - century. Beyond the Essay
Film focusses on three specific axes that underpin and shape the
articulation of the essay film as a specific cultural form -
subjectivity, textuality, and technology - to explore how changes
along and across these dimensions affect historical shifts within
the essay-film practice and its relation to other types of cinema
and neighbouring art forms.
