Drawing from structuralism, moving images and science fiction (combined with elements of the more recent Afrofuturist movement), her works offer a phenomenological experience for both its participants and its audience. A portable, introductory volume, \u003ci\u003eBreaking Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e is a quick yet thorough guide to Smith's filmmaking. It features stills from a decade of works, including \u003ci\u003eSpace Is the Place\u003c\/i\u003e (her tribute to the Sun Ra Arkestra), \u003ci\u003eRemote Viewing\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLessons in Semaphore\u003c\/i\u003e. Art historian Romi Crawford, professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, elucidates this critical phase of the artist's career, and how Smith recasts film history in the context of the artistic and cultural ferment of Chicago's South Side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 4.3 x 6.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 11, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51781329912096,"sku":"9788867496372","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/4a8611dd591ab3aa6d6e252e837fc8fc.webp?v=1780547991","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/cauleen-smith-breaking-cinema-experimental-film-2010-2023-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
