Gregory ZinmanGregory Zinman, associate professor in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication, had his book Making Images Move: Handmade Cinema and the Other Arts reviewed in the online publication Cinema Scope.
Zinman's book, first published in January, gives an overview of experimental techniques that saw filmmakers altering the physical film as an extension of artistic expression. In his review, Chuck Stephens remarked on the book's combination of accessibility and comprehensiveness.
Excerpt:
Lucid, smart, but entirely readable, and compellingly illuminated with colour illustrations of the wonders it describes, Making Images Move is formidable historiography: it’s a volume you’ll want to display proudly on your shelf, somewhere between Gene Youngblood’s Expanded Cinema and Amos Vogel’s Film as a Subversive Art. High praise indeed, but Zinman easily earns it.
