{"product_id":"9780231851015","title":"Cinéma Militant: Political Filmmaking and May 1968","description":"This history covers the filmmaking tradition often referred to as \u003ci\u003ecinéma militant\u003c\/i\u003e, which emerged in France during the events of May 1968 and flourished for a decade. While some films produced were created by established filmmakers, including Chris Marker, Jean-Luc Godard, and William Klein, others were helmed by left-wing filmmakers working in the extreme margins of French cinema. This latter group gave voice to underrepresented populations, such as undocumented immigrants (\u003ci\u003esans papiers\u003c\/i\u003e), entry-level factory workers (\u003ci\u003eouvriers spécialisés\u003c\/i\u003e), highly intellectual Marxist-Leninist collectives, and militant special interest groups. While this book spans the broad history of this uncharted tradition, it particularly focuses on these lesser-known figures and works and the films of Cinélutte, Les groupes medvedkine, Atelier de recherche cinématographique, Cinéthique, and the influential Marxist filmmaker Jean-Pierre Thorn. Each represent a certain tendency of this movement in French film history, offering an invaluable account of a tradition that also sought to share untold histories.","brand":"Columbia University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078656508144,"sku":"9780231851015","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780231851015_p0.jpg?v=1763679479","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780231851015","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
