The author considers the output of four towering figures in essay filmmaking: Harun Farocki, Chris Marker, Chantal Akerman and Jean-Luc Godard, and explores the ways in which these directors utilise aesthetic strategies, editing techniques, and modes of spectatorial address that are rooted in the capabilities of digital technologies. Slaymaker conceptualises the cinematic essay as a self-reflexive mode of nonfiction cinema?one that foregrounds the filmmaking apparatus and the act of its own making, and which thereby launches an inquiry into the ontological nature of the cinematic image, the tools which construct it, and the wider artistic landscape in which it is embedded. James Slaymaker is a filmmaker, researcher and Teaching Fellow in Film Studies at Trinity College Dublin. He has written numerous journal articles, book chapters and conferences papers on digital technology, European cinema, the essay film, and experimental film. He is also a prolific writer of popular film criticism. 606 $aExperimental films 606 $aMotion picture plays, European 606 $aExperimental Film 606 $aEuropean Film and TV 615 0$aExperimental films. 615 0$aMotion picture plays, European. 615 14$aExperimental Film. 615 24$aEuropean Film and TV. 676 $a791.4361 700 $aSlaymaker$b James$01777421 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910913789703321 996 $aEssay Cinema in the Digital Era$94298218 997 $aUNINA
