Kevin B. Lee: Videographic Film Criticism and the Video Essay

Critic and filmmaker (Transformers: The Premake) Kevin B. Lee, one of the foremost practitioners of videographer criticism, joins us to talk about video essays. Lee has, in the past 8 years, produced more than 100 short video essays on cinema and television. He is the founding editor and chief video essayist for Fandor’s Keyframe as well as editor for IndieWire’s Press Play blog and his work has appeared in a range of publications from Sight & Sound to The New York Times, which has dubbed him the “King of the Video Essays." Lee will show a range of his own work and discuss the range, scope, and possibilities of video-based film criticism.
