Alter argues that the essay film is a hybrid genre that fuses three major categories of film: feature, art, and documentary. Much like the written essay, its literary predecessor, the essay film draws on a variety of forms and approaches, fundamentally altering the shape of cinema. Alter traces the essay film's origins to early silent cinema, charting the genre's evolution with the advent of sound, its emergence as a recognized category of film in the postwar period, and the ways the genre developed in the later twentieth century. In addition to exploring the broader history of the essay film, Alter discusses the work of artists including Robert Smithson, Martha Rosler, Isaac Julien, John Akomfrah, Harun Farocki, and Hito Steyerl. 650 0 $a Experimental films $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Documentary films $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Documentary films. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00896079 650 7 $a Experimental films. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00918452 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Alter, Nora M., 1962- $t Essay film after fact and fiction. $d New York : Columbia University Press, 2017 $z 9780231545983 $w (DLC) 2017041800 830 0 $a Film and culture. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190202012424.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20181116062433.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8E5635EE580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
