Farocki/Godard: Film as Theory (Film Culture in Transition)

This book brings together two major filmmakers—German avant-gardist Harun Farocki and French New Wave master Jean-Luc Godard—to explore the fundamental tension between theoretical abstraction and the capacities of film itself, a medium where everything seen onscreen is necessarily concrete. olker Pantenburg shows how these two filmmakers explored the potential of combined shots and montage to create “film as theory.”
