Author: Jhaveri, ShanayThe cities, landscapes and people of America have been the subject of many a film, but when seen through an outsider's perspective, new and often significant aspects of its culture are revealed. America: Films from Elsewhere examines film and America from the perspective of auteurs from around the world – from anyplace but America – covering the half-century from the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963 to the election of Donald Trump in 2017. Masters of the medium such as Chantal Akerman, Jean-Luc Godard, Michelangelo Antonioni, Lars von Trier, Jacques Demy, Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Chris Marker are discussed, alongside lesser-known greats such as Yolande de Luart and Babette Mangolte. The book also features specially commissioned portfolios by artists including Camille Henrot, Harun Farocki, Lucy Raven, the Ottolith Group and Ute Aurand.ISBN 9788190472081.
