Table of ContentsReviewsThe book's focus is on film and video practice as research and the ways such creative work may both produce new knowledge and create new ways in which actuality is represented as knowable and as knowledge. Many of the authors are themselves documentary film-makers and they explore in their essay both their practice itself and their thinking about the films they have made in highly original ways. The essays offer illuminating insights and new theoretical perspectives, making the book a very important contribution to film studies and practice within the academy.--Professor Emeritus Elizabeth Cowie, University of Kent This trailblazing book finally brings together two areas often and unfairly seen as discrete: practice and research. Passionately arguing for film as conveyor of scholarly knowledge and, more daringly, for the author's subjective inscription in creative work, editor Agnieszka Piotrowska launches a generative forum, where notable creators-cum-theorists engage in self-revealing, sometimes dissonant, but always inspiring dialogue. A feat to be celebrated.--L�cia Nagib, Professor of Film, University of Reading Creative Practice Research in the Age of Neoliberal Hopelessness offers a unique investigation of the different ways in which creative filmmaking offers its own distinctive forms of research and relates to theoretical insights. The emphasis on auto-ethnographic work, personal reflections on creative practice and the subjective dimensions of knowledge give surprising and candid cutting edge insights that are uncommon in academic texts. With variegated contributions from all corners of the world, this book provide a wealth of perspectives and practices to teach and think about in the growing field of creative audio-visual practice, research and theory.--Patricia Pisters, University of Amsterdam In times of affective capitalism, information overkill and the neo-liberal university Creative Practice Research, in exquisite and challenging ways, makes visible to which extent artistic research as system-critical craft and politics can help us to produce deep knowledge and resist the growing co-option and institutionalisation of creativity itself.--Brenda Hollweg, University of Leeds The book's focus is on film and video practice as research and the ways such creative work may both produce new knowledge and create new ways in which actuality is represented as knowable and as knowledge.
