Film Style and Story A Tribute to Torben Grodal

Style and story are two of the most debated concepts in film studies today. Taking a cognitive perspective, the anthology Film Style and Story focuses explicitly on the stylistic portrayal of human behavior in film, ranging from studies of specific visual patterns to sound montages. Contributions to this volume all share two characteristics: they explore the ways in which styles and stories interact, and they are inspired by the work of Torben Grodal, professor of Film and Media Studies, University of Copenhagen.
