UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS PRESS
Film and television have thus staked out a progressive posi�on on neurodiversity by insis�ng on screen �me for au�sm but have done so while frequently ignoring the true diversity of au�s�c experience. The result is a welcome celebra�on of nonjudgmental approaches to disability, albeit one that is freighted with stereotypes and elisions.

How one company created the dominant aesthe�c of digital realism. ILM’s style, on display in the most successful films of the 1980s and beyond, was so convincing that other studios were forced to follow suit, and today, ILM is a vic�m of its own success, having fostered a cinema�c monoculture in which it is but one player among many.

In 1978, Jean-Luc Godard improvised a series of fourteen talks for a projected history of cinema on video. These talks, published in French in 1980 and long out of print, have never been translated into English. This edi�on, based on the sole videotape copies of the lectures, corrects the faulty and incomplete French version and is the only complete edi�on in any language.
In 2020, the spread of COVID-19 forced the film and television industries to adjust their �me-honored business and labor prac�ces. In this book, Kate Fortmueller asks what happened when the coronavirus closed Hollywood, and considers how the pandemic will transform Hollywood prac�ces in the twenty-first century.

In Radical Documentary and Global Crises, Watson centers the discussion on extreme conflict, such as the Iraq War and the occupa�on of Pales�ne. Under these condi�ons, ar�sts and ac�vists aspire to document, archive, witness, and tes�fy. The result is a set of prac�ces that turn documentary media toward a commitment to feature and privilege the media made by the people living through the terror. 5
