PANEL DISCUSSION AND BOOK LAUNCH
London Review Bookshop
28th September, 7pm. £6

‘An extremely daring book ... one of the most original film philosophies of the last thirty years.'
D. N. Rodowick, Harvard University

Filmosophy by Daniel Frampton is a manifesto for a radically new way of understanding cinema. The book coalesces twentieth-century ideas of film as thought (from Hugo Münsterberg to Gilles Deleuze) into a practical theory of ‘film-thinking’, arguing that film style conveys poetic ideas through a constant dramatic ‘intent’ about the characters, spaces and events of film. With discussions of contemporary filmmakers such as Béla Tarr, Michael Haneke and the Dardenne brothers, this timely intervention into the study of film and philosophy will stir argument and discussion among both filmgoers and filmmakers alike.

Daniel Frampton is a London-based writer and filmmaker and the founding editor of the salon-journal Film-Philosophy. Joining Daniel in discussion will be:
Jonathan Rée - writer, philosopher, broadcaster and historian.
Jonathan Romney - eminent journalist specialising in film, currently film critic on The Independent on Sunday.
Geoffrey Nowell-Smith - estimable theorist and writer, professor of film studies and former head of BFI publishing.
