Book Presentation:
Jolted Images brings together a large cast of mainstream and avant-garde cineastes, artists, photographers, comics creators, poets, and more, to reflect on a wide range of phenomena from the realms of cinema and visual culture in the Yugoslav region, broader Europe, and North America. Far from a staid monograph, the book takes a cue from filmmaker Dušan Makavejev, who once wrote that there are times when it is necessary "to jolt art, no matter what the outcome"; to that end, the book infuses its analysis with playful, creative transfiguration of the material at hand.
About the Author:
Pavle Levi is associate professor of film studies in the Department of Art and Art History at Stanford University and faculty director of Stanford's Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies.
Press Reviews:
"An experiment in creative analytics, Jolted Images partakes of a critical approach that is both playful and rigorous. Levi's jolting of various accounts of history of European and North American avant-gardes through his intertextual musings makes for a refreshing and seductive read." - Kamila Kuc, Cineaste Magazine, Vol. XLIII, No. 4
In the annual critics' poll conducted by the film journal Ekran, Jolted Images was saluted as a "paper movie" and included on a list of ten best films of 2017 (selection by Jurij Meden, Curator of Film Exhibitions at the George Eastman House, New York)
