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 Drawing on unpublished archival materials, the book offers a fresh take on both past and current practices of the experimental film community for scholars, students, makers and film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
