Episode 162: FTF Theory (Bazin's Ontology of the Photographic Image + Broken Blossoms)
Description
On Episode 162 of Floating Through Film, we're trying something new by discussing our first non-film, Bazin's seminal essay, 'Ontology of the Photographic Image'! We then shift from Bazin's essay on the evolution of the image to a film from one of the early innovators of cinema, D.W. Griffith's 1919 film Broken Blossoms (36:37 ). We hope you enjoy!
