The Photoplay
Hugo Münsterberg’s 1916 study makes familiar film techniques feel strange again, especially the close-up, the cut, and the way a screen directs attention.
Worth Reading
Independent reading selections for creativity, craft, curiosity, and meaning.
Worth Reading is AuthZ’s shelf of independent reading selections, not a collection of literary essays. We choose books that help people create, develop their craft, follow their curiosity, or find language for questions that matter to them. Each note explains what a book might make possible in a reader’s life.
All recommendations and reflections represent our own opinions. AuthZ accepts no payment, review copies, affiliate commissions, or other consideration for these selections. Entries do not link to retailers, publishers, libraries, or other acquisition services.
