The article examines methodology and aesthetics in black film, highlighting new analytical approaches.
Thinking with Morgan Quaintance's Missing Time (UK, 2019), the article considers the politics of methodology and film analysis for the study of black film. Concentrated on film blackness, the essay explores issues of ambivalence, aesthetics, abstraction, the essay film, experimental cinema, and Cold War historiographies. Thus, the essay seeks to propose alternate values for the study of black film that might give more attention to the formal operations and critical capacities of film.
