Losing Track

by Imogen Reid

Imogen Reid completed a practice-based PhD at Chelsea College of Arts, her practice being writing. Her thesis focused on the ways in which film has been used by novelists as a resource to transform their writing practice, and on how the non-conventional writing techniques generated by film could, in turn, produce alternative forms of readability.

Losing Track further explores this relationship between literature and cinema. It contains an inventory of cinematic techniques in writing, a script that revolves around a missing event/memory/film and a short essay on cinematic writing.
