Description

Despite the cliches which govern much of its current forms, the cinema continues to have a vital political and aesthetic significance.

Our commitment to, and our sincerity towards, our ways of being in the world have become catastrophically eroded.

Nihilism and despair have taken hold. We must find a way to renew our faith in our capacity to transform the world, a faith that will give us back the reality of a world eroded by the restrictive capitalist ontology of modernity.

How can we restore belief in the reality of a world when scepticism and universal pessimism have taken hold?

Is it possible to find alternative ways of living, being and thinking?

This book will discuss the means by which some filmmakers have grasped the vocation of resisting and transforming the present, of cultivating new forms of belief in the world when total alienation seems inevitable.
