This is a call for submissions to a proposed edition of essays on the work of director Robert Altman. A couple of months after his unfortunate death, the Independent Film Center recently finished up a major retrospective of his work. Therefore, it is time to re-examine the varied canon of this influential filmmaker.
Topics could include:
Altman's influence on contemporary filmmaking
The social, political, and aesthetic meaning of his "mosaic" style of storytelling
Portrayal of women in his films
His use of politics
His films as historical documents of their time
His use of the same actors and actresses in his films
His innovations in sound and dialogue
His subversion of certain cinematic genres
His filmed stage plays
His decline in popularity in the eighties and resurgence in the nineties
The issue of race in his films
Satire in his films
