Books about Film: a teaser
Jessica
There's a new wee project on the horizon, and we couldn't be more excited. 'Watch, Read, Think, Act!' is a collaboration between Lighthouse and the brilliant folks at Take One Action.
As a wee teaser for this cinematic celebration of solidarity, art and collective action, our team of booksellers and our pals over at Take One Action put together a list of film-related books.
We've started off with personal favourites from both teams which explore, in a wide variety of ways, the possibilities, complications, joys and histories populating the world of film-making, and then we've thrown it open to fantastic film writing more generally.
Follow Take One Action on social media to find out more!
