Summary: A study of how films prompt spectators to create images in the mindFrom documentary to art-house cinema – and from an abundance of onscreen images to their complete absence – films that experiment variously with narration, voice-over and soundscapes do not only engage viewers’ thoughts and senses. They also make an appeal to visualise more than is perceptible on screen. This book explores the extraordinary ways in which film can stimulate and direct the image-making capacity of the imagination. Bringing together an international range of films with debates in philosophy, film theory, literary scholarship and cognitive psychology, author Sarah Cooper charts the key processes that serve the imagining of images in the light of the mind. Through its navigation of a labile and vivid mental terrain, this innovative work makes a profound contribution to the study of spectatorship.Key featuresExamines documentaries and essay films, imageless films and art-house cinema, feature-length works and shortsProvides an innovative approach to spectatorship studies by deriving the principal mental processes of image formation that it outlines from the wide selection of films under discussionHighlights how and where imagination and perception relate to one another, thereby opening up the more exclusive foregrounding of perception within recent phenomenological film theory
