Beschreibung

"Film, in Theory tells the story of Paddy Whannel and Peter Wollen's revolutionary work at the BFI's Education Department and how this led to the establishment of film studies, theory and education in Britain during the 1960s and 1970s. Colm McAuliffe explores how Whannel and Wollen refashioned the BFI as a modern and progressive laboratory of ideas, hosting experimental seminars, revamping BFI Summer Schools, and launching the Cinema One series (co-edited by Whannel and Penelope Houston, editor of Sight & Sound magazine). Through extensive archival research and interviews with key figures, McAuliffe explores how the department became "a crucible for the future of film theory.""-- Provided by publisher.
