Book Presentation:
Examines the film aesthetics and authorship practices of Portuguese filmmaker Pedro Costa, within a production context
Investigates the cultural, industrial and economic contexts from which Costa’s working practices emerged
Offers a contextualisation of Costa’s filmmaking under different settings and practices including, among others, Portuguese national cinema and European film production, the use of digital video, the international film festival circuit, and the current synergies between cinema and art gallery production and exhibition practices
Provides a fresh critical analysis on the nuanced and multifaceted production and consumption mechanisms taking place in contemporary art cinema.

This is the first English-language study of internationally acclaimed Portuguese filmmaker Pedro Costa, examining the cultural, production and exhibition contexts of his feature films, shorts and video installations. It situates Costa’s filmmaking within the contexts of Portuguese, European and global art film, looking into his working practices alongside the impact of digital video, forms of collaborative authorship, and the intricate dialogue between modes of production and aesthetics.
