Zusammenfassung:Examines the film aesthetics and authorship practices of Portuguese filmmaker Pedro Costa, within a production contextThe first English-language scholarly monograph dedicated to filmmaker Pedro Costa, covering all his feature and short length films, as well as video installation works to dateInvestigates the cultural, industrial and economic contexts from which Costa's working practices emergedOffers a contextualisation of Costa's filmmaking under different settings and practices including, among others, Portuguese national cinema and European film production, the use of digital video, the international film festival circuit, and the current synergies between cinema and art gallery production and exhibition practicesProvides a fresh critical analysis on the nuanced and multifaceted production and consumption mechanisms taking place in contemporary art cinemaThis is the first English-language study of internationally acclaimed Portuguese filmmaker Pedro Costa, examining the cultural, production and exhibition contexts of his feature films, shorts and video installations. It situates Costa's filmmaking within the contexts of Portuguese, European and global art film, looking into his working practices alongside the impact of digital video, forms of collaborative authorship, and the intricate dialogue between modes of production and aesthetics. Considering the exhibition, circulation and reception of Costa's creative output in settings such as film festivals, the art gallery circuit and the home video market, ReFocus: The Films of Pedro Costa provides an essential critical analysis of this major filmmaker - as well as of the multifaceted production and consumption practices that surround contemporary art cinema
