2. Ecocinema Theory And Practice
An interdisciplinary collection that maps the emerging field of environmental film studies, it develops theoretical tools for reading images, sound, and narrative ecologically while surveying case studies from documentary, experimental, and popular cinema worldwide. Essays investigate landscapes and soundscapes, resource extraction and industrial modernity, indigenous and activist media, and the ethics and politics of spectatorship in the Anthropocene.
