This book uses detailed analyses of Collins?s films to contextualise her work in the African American, feminist and world film traditions, and it highlights her contribution to each of these canons. Exploring the philosophical aspects of Collins?s films and placing her in a genealogy of African American auteurs, Geetha Ramanathan argues that Collins uses film to integrate diverse elements of African American culture, showing how the medium can transform the visual and become a site of convergence for ideas on philosophy, otherness, art, aesthetics and the craft of filmmaking 410 0$aVisionaries (Edinburgh University Press) 606 $aAfrican Americans in motion pictures 606 $aMotion pictures$xProduction and direction 610 $aPerforming Arts 610 $aFilm 610 $aDirection & Production 615 0$aAfrican Americans in motion pictures. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xProduction and direction. 676 $a791.430233092 700 $aRamanathan$b Geetha$0687880 801 0$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910377436203321 996 $aKathleen Collins$92047404 997 $aUNINA
