Book, Praxis of cinema[LS]

Praxis of Cinema' is of special interest for those dedicated to cinema for two main aspects, says professor and film critic Ismail Xavier: for 'excellence on the pedagogical level' and for the work with technical material properties and procedures specific to cinematographic practice. Thus, Noel Burch's book presents a didactic quality and a relevance to its object that do not derive from an a priori theorization applied imposingly to cinema, but 'from the experience of those who know the debates and alternatives in production, knew how to be clear because they recognized very well in favor of and against what he wrote when composing his introduction to cinema'. The translation of this work is therefore as current as it was at the time of its first publication and in doing so, Perspectiva publisher provides the student of the seventh art with a valuable technical and artistic instrument.
