OverviewUsing hybrid phenomenological approaches to film, this book focuses on how moving images are 'experienced' and 'encountered' as well as 'read' and 'viewed'.

In its articulation of key theoretical debates on temporality, perception, embodiment and subjectivity, as well as in its discussion of a series of works by French fi lmmakers and artists who engage with the medium of the moving image in its new diverging forms, the book is both illuminating and wonderfully engaging.' Martine Beugnet, Professor in Visual Studies, University of Paris 7, Paris, France 'Thinking subjectivity cinematically, as Jenny Chamarette does here, may be the most fruitful way to think it, given that humans have evolved inseparably from cinematic forms for more than a century: cinema, itself constantly changing, elicits a subject that is also keenly open to transformation and fl ow. Chamarette builds her argument with delicate precision and a thorough grounding in the history of fi lm theory and its related philosophical movements. By bringing acute perception and fertile contexts to works by some of our most beloved fi lmmakers, she creates cinematic experiences that are thrillingly fresh.' Laura U.
