Reviews
"An important expansion of Deleuzian cinematic philosophy, Black Screens, White Frames reconceptualizes the ""blank"" screen as a populated and performative machine. With limpid, compelling writing, Shilina-Conte guides the reader confidently through a generative assemblage of concepts, illuminates their contexts, and tests them on an exciting variety of movies, from early cinema to supercut, that release enfolded powers. * Laura U. Marks, Simon Fraser University * In Black Screens, White Frames, Tanya Shilina-Conte demonstrates the generative power and infinite possibilities for new thought, unknown sensations, and untold stories one can find at the limits of perception when there is nothing more (or nothing yet) to see. Extensively researched, intelligently written, and conceptually strong, this book sheds new light on both film history and more contemporary post-cinema's digital modulations. By exploring the ways in which the virtual and the unseen can be considered as an integral part of the 'filmmaking machine,' this is an excellent and recommendable contribution to film-philosophy. * Patricia Pisters, University of Amsterdam * Black Screens, White Frames brilliantly expands on the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari to show how the use of black screens and white frames can vacillate between an expression of conservative narratology and radical deterritorializations, from early cinema to post-war experimental and non-western minoritarian cinema. This book is not only an exemplary work of film-philosophy but also the perfect reader's guide to the practical application of Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy as a whole. Perhaps the greatest accolade that one could give Professor Shilina-Conte is that she is not only an accomplished scholarly and film auteur but also the ultimate catalyst for our own creative involvement in the films themselves. * Colin Gardner, UC Santa Barbara *"
