Cinema and the Audiovisual Imagination (I.B. Tauris 2015)
'I have read Cinema and the Audiovisual Imagination and I continue to enjoy picking it up as food for thought.
It reads beautifully, and the headings within the chapters enable collage-readings, leaps between sections and new correspondences. This book has a solid conceptual base, but what I love about it most is that it's written by a maker as well as a thinker.'
Professor Marielle Nitoslawska, Film Production Chair, Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema, Concordia University, Montreal.

'Taking Eisenstein's work as a point of departure, Cinema and the Audiovisual Imagination tackles the still relatively unexplored territory of cinematic sound-image relations. Robert Robertson's thoughtful and accessible text analyses work made by a diverse range of filmmakers, and offers some stimulating and original insights into the audiovisual dynamics at work in a rich selection of films.'
Dr Andy Birtwistle, Reader in Film and Sound, Department of Media, Art and Design, Canterbury Christ Church University.

'This book flows - it is immersive: each page offers innovative audiovisual perspectives through which cinema can be experienced and explored, with examples from films both past and present.'
