Summary:A critical re-examination of four major realist film theoristsFrom the 1910s to the emergence of structuralism and post-structuralism in the 1960s, the writings of John Grierson, Siegfried Kracauer, André Bazin and Georg Lukács dominated realist film theory. In this critical anthology, the first collection to address their work in one volume, a wide range of international scholars explore the interconnections between their ideas and help generate new understandings of this important, if neglected, field. Challenging preconceptions about 'classical' theory and the nature of realist representation, and in the process demonstrating how this body of work can be seen as a cohesive theoretical model, this invaluable collection will help return the realist paradigm of film theory to the forefront of academic enquiry.Contributors includeIan Aitken, Hong Kong Baptist UniversityScott Anthony, Nanyang Technological University, SingaporeGary Evans, University of OttawaTara Forrest, University of Technology, SydneyRamona Fotiade, University of GlasgowAngelos Koutsourakis, University of QueenslandHenry K.
