  1. 1. Poetics Of Slow Cinema

    Nostalgia, Absurdism, Boredom

    A rigorous study of the slow cinema tendency, it traces roots in modernist art cinema and shows how long takes, minimal narratives, off-screen space, and durational pacing shape experiences of boredom, nostalgia, and absurdism. Through close analyses of films from around the world, it offers a framework linking style to spectatorship, affect, ethics, and politics, and situates this mode within festival circuits and contemporary criticism.
