Positionen: Forms, Patterns and TITANE

Eugenie Brinkema is working on what form means in the context of
film theory. She is Associate Professor of Contemporary Literature
and Media at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and with her
writings she challenges concepts of film analysis we feel so used
to. In her book THE FORMS OF THE AFFECTS she argued for a close
reading of films: affects are not on the surface of a film, they
are "written" in the form. With her new book LIFE DESTROYING
DIAGRAMS, she is radicalizing her radical formalism: reading a film
is an adventure in a formal analysis. Patterns, rhythms, lines and
deadly grids. In this special and highly philosophical episode,
Sebastian is talking with Eugenie about TITANE, philosophy, forms,
colours and a lot more.
