Film International #25


In our first issue of 2007, we offer a wide range of essays. Carl Freedman goes head to head with the popular image of John Wayne, Adrian Martin takes a good look at Dennis Hopper as a leading man, Jasper Sharp digs deeper into the forgotten roots of Japanimation (see also FI#21), Michael Fitzhenry and Xualian Zhang discuss the new independent cinema between Hollywood and China, and we present the first winning essay of the annual Frank Capra Award for undergraduate film criticism. (Stay tuned for the honorable mentions to make appearances on this very website.) Plus: Film reviews! Festival reports! And more!
