This book considers significant ways in which trees have been represented in European and American cinemas, via the symbolic regimes of various popular genres (period films, war films, disaster movies) and screen modes (documentary, art cinema, animation). It does so by presenting series of case studies from different cultural contexts and historical moments, from Le Déjeuner de Bébé (Baby’s Meal) (1895) to Disco Boy (2023).
Thomas Austin is Professor of Film Studies at the University of Sussex, UK. He is the editor of ReFocus: The Films of Steve McQueen (2023); and co-editor of Cinema of Crisis: Film and Contemporary Europe (2020).
