"The picture is strong not necessarily because of anything specific to the viewer, but because everything seems to be moving away from the viewer too." - Trinh T. Mena Haethennames and the female director Trenh T.

Minh-Ha is one of the most powerful voices in the independent film industry. In her writings and interviews, as well as in her films, Trenne explores what she calls the "infinite relationship" of the word to the picture.

Cinema-Break combines her recent talks on films, art, life and theory with Hume Bhapha, Deb Verhoeven, Anamaria Morelli and other critics. These interviews offer the richest presentation of this exceptional artist's ideas.

The film is heavily screened in black and white, and Cinema-Interlave covers a wide range of issues, many of them related to "the distance between" - between the scenes, the film, the picture, the text, the interview and the corresponding person, beloved and beloved. As an added bonus, the full texts of "Tranh" films, Nam Nam and Love Tale, are also included in the volume.

Cinema-Interval will be a necessary work for readers interested in contemporary filmmaking, feminist thought and postcolonial studies.
