For the Love of Cinema

"For the Love of Cinema is an innovative collection that brings important new discussion to academic film scholarship on several fronts. . . . This volume is not just another manual of how to teach film studies (there are plenty of those), but how to bring a certain attitude or demeanor to the practice for the purpose of stimulating student engagement and enrichment. The collection focuses on the act of teaching, both conceptually and practically, which is something that no introductory text on teaching film studies that I know of has adequately addressed."—Christian Keathley, author of Cinephilia and History, or The Wind in the Trees

"While there have been many recent books on the topic of cinephilia, per se, this is the first one, to my knowledge, to address the subject within a pedagogical framework—examining how a teacher's own love of cinema may be transferred to students raised in a younger generation with entirely different ways of experiencing moving images."—Lucy Fischer, author of Designing Women: Cinema, Art Deco and The Female Form
