{"product_id":"cinema-militant","title":"Cinéma Militant","description":"This history covers the filmmaking tradition often referred to as cinema militant, which emerged in France during the events of May 1968 and flourished for a decade. While some films produced were created by established filmmakers, including Chris Marker, Jean-Luc Godard, and William Klein, others were helmed by left-wing filmmakers working in the extreme margins of French cinema. This latter group gave voice to underrepresented populations, such as undocumented immigrants (sans papiers), entry-level factory workers (ouvriers specialises), highly intellectual Marxist-Leninist collectives, and militant special interest groups. While this book spans the broad history of this uncharted tradition, it particularly focuses on these lesser-known figures and works and the films of Cinelutte, Les groupes medvedkine, Atelier de recherche cinematographique, Cinethique, and the influential Marxist filmmaker Jean-Pierre Thorn. Each represent a certain tendency of this movement in French film history, offering an invaluable account of a tradition that also sought to share untold histories.","brand":"Columbia University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54221200851288,"sku":"9780231176668","price":96.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780231176668_48c1272c-029a-4a16-8080-b3c4d7ee5b61.jpg?v=1770451255","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/cinema-militant","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
