European Film Theory explores the ‘Europeanness’ of European film theory, its philosophical origins, the ‘culture wars’ between ‘Continental’ and ‘Analytical’ film theory and philosophy, the major discursive and epistemological shifts in the history of Continental film theory, the relationship between Continental philosophy of art and philosophy of history and European film theory. Writing from a range of disciplines and perspectives, the contributors to this new volume in the AFI FILM READERS series offer fresh interpretations of European film theorists and illuminate the political potential of European film theory.

'The essays in European Film Theory provide a long overdue critical remapping of what has been called 'theory' in contemporary film studies. No philosophical stone goes unturned in this remarkable volume, and many are then sculpted into provocative and original arguments.' - D.N. Rodowick, Harvard University, USA'A key resource for film theory... A richly detailed volume in every respect, the text is distinguished by its scope, the sweep of its rhetoric, and the numerous films it examines... Highly recommended.' - CHOICE
