Film Criticism as a Cultural Institution (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

At the beginning of the 21st century film criticism was described as in crisis. This book takes a deeper look at film criticism by focusing on its institutional contours. This is achieved through a combination of archival research and new interviews with prominent film critics and stakeholders, including Adrian Martin (LOLA), Stephanie Zacharek (Time), Peter Bart (Variety), and Andrew Sarris (The Village Voice). While acknowledging the considerable changes and challenges that film criticism faces today, this book situates these within an historical context and proposes an institutional framework that allows us to move beyond crisis discourse.
