Philosophers on Film from Bergson to Badiou

John Ó Maoilearca, Kingston University, London:
An essential collection that gathers the most important works, both classical and contemporary, on film and philosophy. It covers all of the field’s complex configurations from the continental tradition: philosophy of film, philosophy in film, as well as film as philosophy. No serious film philosopher will be able to leave home without it.

Ronald Bogue, University of Georgia:
The contemporary philosophers included in this anthology have been prominent in Anglophone discourse in the humanities over the last twenty years, yet their contributions to film theory have not been addressed in a systematic fashion. Philosophers on Film from Bergson to Badiou offers a coherent framework for approaching this diverse group of philosophers, and the summaries of the arguments of the individual selections are informed, accurate, and accessible. This anthology promises to serve an important function in cinema studies.

ANDREW KETTLER, University of South Carolina:
Philosophers on Film is an important collection, especially for students first breaking into film studies or scholars who desire quick reference to diverse groundbreaking texts.

Any film lover in or freshly out of school may just have their life changed with this little diddy.
