Reviews

Patrick Reagan, Yale University:
... Pavsek renews our faith in the utopian possibilities of truly political art.

Richard Dienst, author of Still Life in Real Time: Theory After Television:
An impressive book people will read for all kinds of reasons, academic and otherwise, not least of which is its bold proposal that the future is unthinkable without cinema.
