Reviews for Cinéma Militant: Political Filmmaking and May 1968
With its abundance of information, Grant's Cinema Militant fills a need in ongoing scholarship on and surrounding May `68. At his best, Grant provides a fact-laden account of self-styled militant filmmaking during and in the immediate aftermath of the events.
