Opis

Filmaker and feminist thinker Trinh T. Minh-ha is a powerful and articulate voice in independent filmmaking. In her writings and interviews, as well as in her filmscripts, Trinh explores what she describes as the infinite relation of word to image. This book brings together her recent conversations on film and art, music and language, life and theory, with Homi Bhabha, Deb Verhoeven, Annamaria Morelli and other critics. Together these interviews offer a presentation of this artist's ideas and visions. Extensively illustrated in colour and black and white, this text covers a range of issues, many of them concerning the third term or the space between - between viewer, make and film; image, sound and text; or else, between different sets of fictions, different forms of blindness and lucidity; between love and resistance. While discussing the films' perspectives on the shifting realitites of China and Vietnam, the interviews also expand on the roles played by such concepts as residue, resonance, repetition, indirectness and foreigness in the creative process.
