description: This collection of essay celebrating British avant-garde cinema's rich history draws together writings by filmmakers, theorists, critics, and curators. These individuals have been engaged over the past 70 years with film not only as a form of art practice but also as a subversive means of representing British society itself and as a personal expression of issues of memory, sexuality, and ethnicity. Included are essays from a wide range of distinguished writers--from Virginia Woolf, Lindsay Anderson, and peter Gidal to Laura Mulvey, Peter Wollen, and Malcolm Le Grice.
