MeCCSA Edited Collection of the Year (Shortlist)

"This is an ingenious collection that explores the feminist potentials of unfinished pieces of cinema — films that were lost or abandoned, films whose ambitions or creators were thwarted or interrupted. Through this frame, the book creates opportunities to examine the economic and material conditions that left these films and careers incomplete, and the lived experiences of those who tried to create them. The book has 14 chapters and a very substantial introduction that styles itself as an introduction, a theory, and a manifesto. This editorial shaping helps to make the book an inventive and coherent research intervention."
