About the Author

Ara Osterweil is an Assistant Professor of Film and Cultural Studies in the English Department at McGill University

Reviews

'Delving into the familiar and the more obscure works of the American avant garde film of the 60’s, Ara Osterweil’s Flesh cinema offers an entirely new take. Love, friendship, sex are the key components of this study which revels in the messy and interconnected lives of its film artists. Writing with joy and verve Osterweil brings this period wonderfully alive.'
Linda Williams, Professor in Film & Media and Rhetoric at University of California Berkeley

‘The cornucopia of ideas and insights emanating from Flesh Cinema should inspire the work of other scholars, although few are likely to have Osterweil’s literary talents or intellectual range….her extraordinary book will have to be read.’
P. Adams Sitney , Cineaste, September 2016
