New Philosophies of Film: An Introduction to Cinema as a Way of Thinking
What can philosophy teach us about cinema? Can cinema transform how we understand philosophy? How should we describe the competing approaches to philosophizing on film? New Philosophies of Filmanswers these questions by offering a lucid introduction to the exciting developments and contentious debates within the philosophy of film. Mapping out the conceptual terrain, it examines both analytic and continental approaches to cinema and puts forward a pluralist film philosophy, grounded in practical examples from film, documentaries and television series.
Now thoroughly updated to showcase the most recent developments in the field, this 2nd edition features:
- New chapters on phenomenology, cinematic ethics, philosophical documentary film and television as philosophy, incorporating feminist, socio-political, ethical and ecological approaches to cinema
- Contemporary case studies including Carol, Roma, Melancholia, two Derridadocumentaries, and the Netflix series Black Mirror
- Expanded coverage of Gilles Deleuze and Stanley Cavell, two of the most influential philosophers of film
- An updated bibliography, filmography and reading lists, with links to online resources to support further study
Demonstrating how the film-philosophy encounter can open up new paths for thinking, New Philosophies of Film is an essential resource for putting interdisciplinary inquiry into practice.

Praise for this book
A valuable book for advanced students and scholars in film studies/film theory, and for philosophers concerned with the art of film.
Choice (of the first edition)
Choice (of the first edition)
A body of philosophical work has begun to accumulate around the provocation of cinema. Sinnerbrink enters the fray as a critical narrator of the history of this burgeoning philosophical enterprise as well as a participant in it and [...] makes an important contribution on both accounts.
Notre Dame Philosophical Review (of the first edition)
Notre Dame Philosophical Review (of the first edition)
Sinnerbrink's book will add a dose of welcome scepticism to anyone embarking on the consideration of some recent developments in anglophone film studies [...] Sinnerbrink injects life into his consideration of the cognitivists by means of adroit illustration from examples of his own choosing which display a cinephile's reservoir of resources - not always something that can be said of commentators content to use the same filmic examples as do their sources. This aspect is one of the many pleasures of Sinnerbrink's addition to the growing body of work in this field.
