This issue presents a rich selection of essays, reviews and interviews, approaching the theme of cinema and the body in diverse ways.
The theme is explored through a wide range of cinematic genres such as science fiction, horror, documentary, film noir, and experimental films.
Furthermore, the authors provide new insights to the topic from multiple frontiers in their discipline, which include the introduction of new interpretations to phenomenological concepts related to the critical analysis of film styles or authorship, the linking to recent empirical findings from cognitive neuroscience to the explanatory framework of film viewing processes, as well as addressing a variety of specific viewpoints, for instance, to Chinese, Russian, Portuguese, and American film culture.
