Examines how the work of American filmmaker Spike Jonze crosses boundaries between genre entertainment and experimentalism * Read the blog post An interview with Wyatt Moss-Wellington, author of 'Narrative Humanism' and co-editor of 'ReFocus: The Films of Spike Jonze' * Surveys the breadth of Jonze's work as a director and screenwriter of features, shorts and music videos * Considers Jonze's oeuvre in both its industrial and philosophical contexts, with a focus on film production, psychology and identity, posthumanism and gender studies * Connects Jonze to other relevant filmmakers, American political and cultural events and institutions ReFocus: The Films of Spike Jonze is the first collection of essays on this important and original contemporary filmmaker. It looks at his ground-breaking work in both features and short forms, exploring the impact of his filmmaking across a range of philosophical and cultural discussions. Each of Jonze's feature films, from Being John Malkovich (1999) to Her (2013), is discussed at length, focusing on issues of authorship, narration, genre and adaptation. As well as the textual aspects of Jonze's feature films, the contributors consider his work in music videos and shorts - investigating his position as a filmmaker on the blurred boundaries between studio and independent modes of production.
