Description

Authorship in film has been a persistent theme in the field of cinema studies.

This volume of new work revitalizes the question of authorship by connecting it to larger issues of identity--in film, in the marketplace, in society, in culture.

Essays range from the auteur theory and Casablanca to Oscar Micheaux, from the American avant-garde to community video, all illuminating how "authorship" is a complex idea with far-reaching implications.

This ambitious and wide-ranging book will be essential reading for anyone concerned with film studies and the concept of the author.
