Biographical note
Tom Brown is a lecturer in Film, with a research focus on the 'classical' cinema of France and Hollywood. Has co-edited two collections (Film Moments: Critical Methods and Approaches for Palgrave and Film and Television after DVD for Routledge) as well as publishing several book chapter and journal articles.
What happens when fictional characters acknowledge our 'presence' as film spectators? By virtue of its eccentricity and surprising frequency as a filmic device, direct address enables us to ask some fundamental questions of film theory, history and criticism and tackle, head-on, assumptions about the cinema as a medium. Brown provides a broad understanding of the role of direct address within fiction cinema, with focused analysis of its role in certain strands of avant-garde or experimental cinema, on the one hand, and popular genre traditions (musicals and comedies) on the other.
