Durational Cinema

Exploring the concept of durational cinema, the book distinguishes it from slow cinema by tracing its evolution through three key waves: the New York avant-garde of the 1960s, post-1968 European art cinema, and contemporary international cinema in galleries and festivals. It examines diverse filmmakers like Andy Warhol and Chantal Akerman, highlighting the minimal yet representational nature of this genre. The thematic focus includes significant topics such as the Holocaust and deindustrialization, showcasing varied interpretations across different filmmakers.
