What happens exactly when we watch feature films or TV dramas? What determines whether we see the occasion as an 'appointment to view' or instead switch over to something else? Many of our responses to moving image fiction texts make mention of 'realism' or 'truth'. We might say to ourselves, or to others around us: 'It's so real!' or 'It's quite unbelievable!' But what are we responding to, exactly, and how is our notion of reality or truth to be understood? For film and media students and for makers of moving image fiction in new digital forms, the question of how to get a more objective, rigorous handle on realism has ever greater relevance, not least in the interests of media literacy. In this original and accessible monograph, Martin Sohn-Rethel brings a lifetime's teaching of film and media to bear in proposing a new approach to considering 'realism' in the moving image, a set of seven 'codes' of realism, in an attempt to plot this tricky field of enquiry more systematically. In so doing he considers a wide range of film and media texts chosen for their accessibility, including District 9 (2009), Do the Right Thing (1989), Erin Brokovich (2000) and In the Name of the Father (1993).
Martin Sohn-Rethel taught Film and Media Studies at Varndean College, Brighton from 1990 to 2013. He has led numerous BFI workshops for Film and Media teachers and has programmed the Cosmat Conference in Brighton.
