Film can be a socio-political and artistic-transformative cultural
practice through which acts and activism are performed. Going
beyond ideological constructs of activism and legal definitions of
citizenship, this book offers a novel approach to understanding the
ontology of acts and activist citizenship, particularly in the
context of their expression through film. The author approaches
film as act and focuses on the scene of film as a space that goes
beyond representation, constituting its own reality through which
activist citizens emerge. By looking at autonomous creative acts
through a range of directors' works from across the world, the
author explores both the ontological and ontic dimensions of
transformative acts of citizenship. In doing this the author poses
the question of whether citizens are stepping out of dominant
cultural ideologies to overcome social, ethnic, religious and
economic divisions. This book is a fresh exploration of the
ontology of acts and is essential reading for any academic
interested in religion, theology, film and citizenship studies.
