London/New York: Bloomsbury Academic. Fine. 2021. First Paperback Edition. Softcover. [a nice clean as-new book]. Trade PB (B&W photographs) The editors "bring together journalists and scholars at the cutting edge of research into 1970s radical cinema for this collection. Chapters are at once historically grounded yet fused with current analysis, to rediscover a unique moment for extraordinary film production. [The book] establishes the factors that helped to shape alternative film: world cinema and internationalism, the politics of cultural policy and arts funding, new accessible technologies, avant-garde theories, and the development of a dynamic and interactive relationship between film and its audiences. [This book] takes account of a wave of socially-aware film practice. Undoubtedly, this body of work has fed into the activist, queer, minority and feminist cinema of the present moment." .
