Film Criticism Book Reviews

From Harry Kloman, Book Reviews Editor:


Film Criticism, the tri-quarterly film journal, is now soliciting reviews for its upcoming 2011-12 volume year. These reviews will appear in the Fall 2011, Winter 2011-12 and Spring 2012 edition.

Below is a list of books we have on our shelf now that we'd like to see reviewed. If you're interested in reviewing one of them, please let me know.

OR: If there's a 2010 or 2011 book out that you'd like to review, let me know and I'll see if I can get a copy sent to you from the publisher.

I'll wait a week or so to see who would like to do what and then make some decisions about how to dole things out. If possible, give me your top three in order.

Reviews for the Fall 2011 issue must be in to me by JULY 1, 2011. I'll set slightly later deadlines for reviews that are more likely to run in the subsequent two issues of the year. Reviews should be about 1,200 words long.

OK, here's the list:

- Chion, Film, A Sound Art (Columbia)

- Kaes, Shell Shock Cinema: Weimar Culture and the Wounds of War (Princeton)

- Loshitzky, Screening Strangers: Immigration and Diaspora in
Contemporary European Cinema (Indiana)

- Columpar, Unsettling Sights: The Fourth World on Film (SIU)

- Miller, Soviet Cinema (Tauris)

- Amaya, Screening Cuba (Illinois)

- Galt and Schoonover, Global Art Cinema (Oxford)

- Todd Berliner, Hollywood Incoherent: Narration in Seventies Cinema.
Texas UP, 2010.
