Description: Some writers in this volume will explain that silence has various meanings. One can speak about repressive silence, transforming silence, ominous silence, transcending silence, mystic silence and many other forms of silence. This volume first pays attention to the phenomenon of silence itself in film and subsequently to silence a more figurative sense. Although it also pays attention to what is called visual silence, the silence evoked by images, it joins in with a new trend in the study of film and religion, namely to give heed to sound as well.
Notes: Papers from the International conference proceedings held in Groningen, The Netherlands, on May 30 through June 1, 2013.
