It references seminal readings through cutting edge research and is designed as an introduction to the field as well as a sourcebook. It defines ecocinema studies, sketches its development over the past twenty years, provides theoretical frameworks for moving forward, and presents eloquent examples of the practice of eco-film criticism through essays written by the field’s leading and emerging scholars. From explicitly environmental films such as Werner Herzong's \u003cem\u003eGrizzly Man\u003c\/em\u003e and Roland Emmerich's \u003cem\u003eThe Day After Tomorrow\u003c\/em\u003e to less obvious examples like Errol Morris's \u003cem\u003eFast, Cheap \u0026amp; Out of Control \u003c\/em\u003eand Christopher Nolan's \u003cem\u003eInception\u003c\/em\u003e, the pieces in this collection comprehensively interrogate the breadth of ecocinema. \u003cem\u003eEcocinema Theory and Practice \u003c\/em\u003ealso directs readers to further study through lists of recommended readings, professional organizations, and relevant periodicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStephen Rust\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the University of Oregon where he teaches film history and media aesthetics.
