The volumes in the Bloomsbury Guides to Contemporary Filmmakers provide concise overviews of the works of a number of familiar and, perhaps more importantly, unfamiliar or excluded contemporary filmmakers. Contributing to contemporary film scholarship in a positive and progressive fashion, each volume guides the reader through the work of a specific filmmaker, his historical and critical contexts, key collaborators, and major themes via a series of original essays. In this fashion, the series not only provides readers with a detailed map of each filmmaker’s entire cinematic output, but also critically explores both the filmmaker and his oeuvre.
