<p>"Expansive in its imagination of ecocinema's nature and habitat, this field-shaping volume sets out and at the same time expertly elasticizes the animating theories and curiosities of ecocinema studies. From the compelling claim that 'all cinema is a form of climate cinema' to lively analyses of individual films, data visualization, and the phenomenon of the environmental film festival, <em>Ecocinema Theory and Practice</em> inspires attention, debate, and urgent action in this world we jointly inhabit." <em>—Janet Walker, Professor of Film and Media Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara</em></p><p>"There is no better time for Rust, Monani and Cubitt to present their edited anthology <i>Ecocinema Theory and</i> <i>Practice </i>as a more comprehensive introduction to the field. With essays written by pioneering and emerging scholars, the collection both sketches the development of ecocinema studies over the past two decades and offers much-needed new theoretical frameworks for expanding and defining ecocinema studies." – <em>Kiu-wai Chu, University of Hong Kong, </em>in<em> Interactions: Studies in Communication & Culture</em></p>
