CFS Talk: Karen Lury, Cinephilia and the 'Contingent Performance' in Bill Douglas’s My Childhood and Daniel Reeves Obsessive Becoming.

This paper will contrast the meticulous, minimalist vision of Bill Douglas with the work of Daniel Reeves. Although apparently very different, they both share a key likeness: whilst confounding the conventions of representational realism they both succeed in upsetting the viewer to a degree that is generally only secured by calling on the indexical authority of film.
