Abstract

Abstract The recent history of the video essay—forms of cine-scholarship presented audiovisually—offers new ways of learning about film history from works that are themselves part of film history. Chloé Galibert-Laîné’s video essays, available at her website, use combinations of voice-over narration, visual text, film clips, YouTube postings, music, and enacted dialog to explore traditional films, modern internet debates, and computer games. Specific foci of her video essays include James Benning’s feature film READERS (2017), Peter Watkins’s La Commune (Paris, 1871) (2000), Chris Kennedy’s Watching the Detectives (2017), Penny Lane’s The Pain of Others (2017), and in GeoMarkr (2022), the videogame GeoGuessr and Chris Marker’s essay films.
