Book review: slow cinema edited by Tiago de Luca and Nuno Barradas Jorge

In Slow Cinema, editors Tiago de Luca and Nuno Barradas Jorge explore the emergence of the titular ‘slow cinema’ as an aesthetic category that animates a particular sense of cinematic time and duration, placing emphasis on introspection, reflection and contemplation. While some of the essays in the collection have been published elsewhere, the volume is especially illuminating when underscoring an integral link between slow cinema, the non-human and ecocinema, writes Sander Hölsgens.
