Focusing on contemporary artists' moving image installations, the book explores how these works utilize temporal and spatial relationships within galleries to engage with geopolitical issues. Displaced from traditional cinema, these installations reflect themes of movement and change in today's world, amplified by digital technology. The growth of contemporary art museums and large-scale exhibitions worldwide has provided new venues and audiences for this evolving art form, highlighting its significance in contemporary discourse.

Women's Cinema provides an introduction to critical debates around women's filmmaking and relates those debates to a variety of cinematic practices. Taking her cue from the groundbreaking theories of Claire Johnston, Alison Butler argues that women's cinema is a minor cinema that exists inside other cinemas, inflecting and contesting the codes and systems of the major cinematic traditions from within. Using canonical directors and less established names, ranging from Chantal Akerman to Moufida Tlatli, as examples, Butler argues that women's cinema is unified in spite of its diversity by the ways in which it reworks cinematic conventions.
