Film Bodies

<p>In <i>Film Bodies</i> Katharina Lindner took film studies into a new direction integrating queer and feminist theory with film phenomenology. Her groundbreaking book explores the presence of women's bodies in movement in a range of genres including the dance film the sports film and queer cinema providing detailed textural analyses of <i>Black Swan </i>(2010) <i>The Tango Lesson </i>(1997) <i>2 Seconds </i>(1998) <i>Offside </i>(2006) <i>Tomboy </i>(2011) and<i> Girlhood</i> (2014) and discussing the queer feminist encounters they give rise to. <p/>Published after Lindner's untimely death in 2019 this new paperback edition of <i>Film Bodies </i>includes a special foreword by Jenny Chamarette exploring the embodied time travelling nature of Lindner's work. Trailing gloriously in the wind behind <i>Film Bodies</i> are all the beginnings the experiences that shape it the visceral connections that give the book a bodymind from which to speak.</p>
