Focusing on a number of videographic explorations of matters of film editing (including her study of the dissolves and "Hollywood montages" in David Lean’s 1945 BRIEF ENCOUNTER, a film that is currently celebrating the 70th anniversary of its release), Grant explores what such practical and audiovisual modes of research and presentation—ones which themselves evidently turn on editing—can add to the study of a feature that (with a number of key exceptions) has not received much sustained attention to date in written film scholarship.plain2019-12-21T04:50:49-08:00Vimeo2015-11-08T16:26:06video145070069Catherine GrantDavid Leandissolvesfilm editingeditingvideo essayBRIEF ENCOUNTERJason Mittell06e96b1b57c0e09d70492af49d984ee2f68945de
