Description
"Film and the Ethical Imagination is a wonderfully rich and intelligent book that is essential reading for anyone with an interest in questions of ethics and cinematic form. Introducing the concepts of bioscreens and biovisuality into the lexicon of film ethics, Gronstad offers an important new theory of screen ethics, one that shifts the emphasis away from content onto questions of aesthetic form, and that takes into consideration the serious 'ramifications of our ecological entanglements'." (Dr Tanya Horeck, Anglia Ruskin University)
