Zusammenfassung:
Less than a decade ago the expression 'essay film' was still encountered only sporadically; today, the term has been widely integrated into film criticism, and is increasingly adopted by filmmakers and artists worldwide to characterize their work. Eschewing essentialist notions of genre and form, and bringing issues of practice and praxis to the fore, this work offers a novel understanding of the epistemological strategies that are mobilized by the essay film, and of where such strategies operate.
