"No recent book on cinema has moved me so deeply as Life 24x a Second has moved me, from its opening reflections on lifeshocks to its profoundly resonant conclusions on what films can teach us about living wholehearted lives as friends, parents, teachers, and students. In a dazzling testament to her twenty years of award-winning teaching experience, Walker privileges her students' voices, and in so doing offers astonishing explorations of cinema's real-world value - specifically, why the medium matters in relation both to one's most personal concerns and to our society's most pressing problems. At once compassionate and incisive, Life 24x a Second is a defibrillator to the heart." -- Katherine Spring, Wilfrid Laurier University, "No recent book on cinema has moved me so deeply as Life 24x a Second has moved me, from its opening reflections on lifeshocks to its profoundly resonant conclusions on what films can teach us about living wholehearted lives as friends, parents, teachers, and students.

Synopsis
Life 24x a Second highlights the life-sustaining and life-affirming power of cinema. Author Elsie Walker pays particular attention to pedagogical practice and students' reflections on what the study of cinema has given to their lives. This book provides multiple perspectives on why cinema matters to individuals and in the world at large, focusing on films that represent psychological breakthroughs, progressive possibilities for social change, and cross-cultural human connections., Life 24x a Second highlights the life-sustaining and life-affirming power of cinema. Author Elsie Walker pays particular attention to pedagogical practice and students' reflections on what the study of cinema has given to their lives. This book provides multiple perspectives on cinema that matters for the deepest personal and social reasons-from films that represent psychological healing in the face of individual losses to films that represent humanitarian hope in the face of global crises. Ultimately, Walker shows how cinema that moves us emotionally can move us toward a better world. Life 24x a Second makes the case for cinema as a life force in uplifting and widely relatable ways. Walker zeroes in on films that offer hope in relation to the Black Lives Matter movement ( Imitation of Life, 1959, and BlacKkKlansman , 2018); contemporary feminism ( Nobody Knows , 2004); rite-of-passage experiences of mortality and mourning (Ikiru , 1952, and A Star Is Born , 2018), and first-love grief ( Call Me by Your Name , 2017, and Portrait of a Lady on Fire , 2019). Life 24x a Second invites readers to reflect on their own unique film-to-person encounters along with connecting them to others who love cinematic lessons for living well., Life 24x a Second highlights the life-sustaining and life-affirming power of cinema.

    I didn't see a verbal description of this book as "hardcover" or paperback. Cover design and price were similar to both cover styles. I thought I'd left a question for the seller, but I may have done something wrong. The package was too small to match the hardcovers previously received so I returned it unopened. Seller was very efficient, and packaging offered excellent protection. Haven't checked to see if refund was processed.
