{"product_id":"esfir-shub-ilana-shub-sharp-9781501376481","title":"Esfir Shub: Pioneer of Documentary Filmmaking","description":"\u003cp\u003eEsfir Shub was the only prominent female director of nonfiction film present at the dawning of the Soviet film industry. She was, in fact, the first woman both to write critical texts on cinema and then practically apply these theorisations in her own films. As such, her syncretism of cinema theory and praxis inspired her to ask questions regarding both the nature of nonfiction film, such as the problem of authenticity and reality, and the function of the artist in society; issues which are still relevant in contemporary discussions about the documentary. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAccordingly, this book demonstrates Shub's position not only as a significant filmmaker and recognised member of the early Soviet avant-garde but also as a key figure in global cinema history. Shub deserves recognition both as the founder and ardent promoter of the compilation film genre and as a pioneer of the theory and practice of documentary filmmaking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ilana Shub Sharp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501376489\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501376481\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.72d","brand":"Ilana Shub Sharp","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079814148351,"sku":"9781501376481","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e4e43829-cac8-4f5e-b8bd-ee78a76738ba.jpg?v=1685483296","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/esfir-shub-ilana-shub-sharp-9781501376481","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
