[Frameworks] A new book: Lost Highways, Embodied Travels & thanks

[Kornelia Boczkowska]

Dear Colleagues,

Apologies for the self-promotion, but I wanted to draw your attention to 
my book, Lost Highways, Embodied Travels: The Road Movie in American 
Experimental Film and Video, published by Brill in early February:
https://brill.com/display/title/64181

The book - which is the culmination of my grant-funded research carried 
out between 2017 and 2022 - draws on the tradition of experimental film 
catalogs and can hopefully serve our community as a critical guide to 
both lesser known/rarely screened and critically acclaimed films. My 
intention was to discuss a wide array of artist-made moving images (83 
in total) and to specifically focus on works that are significantly 
underrepresented in film criticism and elsewhere.
I’d like to thank everyone (also on Frameworks) who has offered me all 
kinds of assistance when I was working on this project, especially 
friends and colleagues from the SF Bay Area. Your support is greatly 
appreciated! Thanks to filmmaker and friend Dominic Angerame for giving 
me permission to use a still from his Premonition for the cover image.

I’m attaching a 25% discount code on the book along with the ToC and 
Introduction, which outline the book's contents and structure. Also,if 
anyone's interested, I'll be happy to share some short excerpts from the 
book with you, just let me know. The blurb says:

Often identified as one of the most genuine and enduring American film 
genres, the road movie has never been explored in the context of 
experimental filmmaking. To fill this gap,/Lost Highways, Embodied 
Travels/ provides the first book-length study of over eighty unique and 
often obscure films and videos and situates them within the corporeal 
turn in American avant-garde cinema, so far mostly associated with body 
genres and sexually explicit films. Drawing on unpublished archival 
materials, the book offers a fresh take on both past and current 
practices of the experimental film community for scholars, students, 
makers and film buffs.

My best,

Kornelia
