Devotional Cinema

By Nathaniel Dorsky

Revised 3rd Edition. This new edition includes additions and changes related to the author's understanding of Carl Theodor Dreyer's The Passion of Joan of Arc as well as other smaller clarifications. Dorsky has been making and exhibiting films within the avant-garde tradition since 1964.

For film to have a devotional quality both absolute and relative time must be active and present--not only present but functioning simultaneously and invigorating one another. Transformative film rests in the present and respects the delicate details of its own unfolding.
