Kennedy in 1963 to the election of Donald Trump in 2017. Masters of the medium such as Chantal Akerman, Joyce Wieland, Michelangelo Antonioni, Lars von Trier, Jacques Demy, Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Chris Marker are discussed, alongside lesser-known greats such as Yolande du Luart and Babette Mangolte. The book also features specially commissioned portfolios by artists, including Camille Henrot, Harun Farocki, Lucy Raven, the Otolith Group and Ute Aurand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shanay Jhaveri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8190472089\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788190472081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shoestring Publisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.90w x 1.80d","brand":"Shanay Jhaveri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941270651135,"sku":"9788190472081","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d25e6f09-b362-42a4-b615-0da0aa3c14a8.jpg?v=1681451932","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/america-shanay-jhaveri-9788190472081","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
