An impressive book people will read for all kinds of reasons, academic and otherwise, not least of which is its bold proposal that the future is unthinkable without cinema. -- Richard Dienst, author of Still Life in Real Time: Theory After Television ... Pavsek renews our faith in the utopian possibilities of truly political art. -- Patrick Reagan, Yale University Screening the Past
