From the first person. Cinematic autobiographies / autofiction

Stuff holes, dig, save time, howl. From the first person is a personal exploration of cinematic autobiographies / autofiction: a rambling through spaces and lives, through which a self, in the broadest sense, speaks. The book pursues inwards glances, gazing out over expanses, retracing passages, thought movements, and physical experiences, feeling its way along the unpaved terrain of memories. Centering on filmic analogies to writing acts: diary films, journals, film-poems, travelogues, as well as reenactments.

From the first person includes contributions on Chantal Akerman, Frank Beauvais, Dominique Cabrera, Alain Cavalier, Vincent Dieutre, Su Friedrich, Maria Lang, Joanna Hogg and others. The texts arc from the direct narrative style of early self-documentaries to more recent autofictional forms.
