The Afterimage ReaderEdited by Mark WebberThe Visible Press, May 2022The independent British film journal Afterimage published thirteen issues between 1970 and 1987. International in scope, it surveyed the many forms of radical cinema during an extraordinary period of film history.

It published many of the leading critics of the period and vitally provided a forum for filmmakers’ writings and manifestos.This indispensable collection includes texts by scholars Noël Burch, Roger Cardinal, B. Ruby Rich and Peter Wollen, filmmakers Jean Epstein, Jean-Luc Godard, Derek Jarman and Jan Švankmajer, plus extended interviews with Hollis Frampton and Raúl Ruiz, and more.The Afterimage Reader is edited by Mark Webber and features new contributions from two of the journal’s editors, Simon Field and Ian Christie.ISBN: 978-0-9928377-6-1Hardcover203 x 140 x 31 mm352 pages, with b/w images throughoutSquare-backed caseRibbon marker, head and tail bandsIndividually shrinkwrapped
