Author Description

"Mark Nash's Screen Theory Culture demonstrates the influence of Screen magazine on structuralist and post-structuralist film studies. As one of the editors of Screen in the 1970s the author was part of that magazine's persuasive definition of film studies. His film essays of the time did much to set a still current agenda on point of view and subjectivity. More current articles make connections between this body of work and the art of the contemporary moving image. Nash's essays, produced in close relation to this new art and informed by a wide knowledge of film, are also an exemplary guide to the issues and questions surrounding this new medium. They will be essential reading for any film studies, art history or curating course."--BOOK JACKET.
