Publisher's Note
Although it may not be the goal of every filmmaker, most people learn something when they watch movies. Movies make people think. Movies make people feel. Occasionally people have the power to transform lives. In her newest book, Reel to Real, Bell Hooks talks back to films she has watched as a way to engage the pedagogy of cinema--the way film teaches its audience.

In Reel To Real, bell hooks talks back to films as a way to engage the pedagogy of cinema--the way film teaches its audience. bell hooks comes to film as a cultural critic, fascinated by the issues movies raise--the ways cinema depicts race, sex, and class. Reel To Real collects hooks classic essays on films such as Paris Is Burning or the infamous "Whose Pussy Is It" essay about Spike Lees Shes Gotta Have It, as well as newer work on Pulp Fiction, Crooklyn and Waiting To Exhale. hooks also examines the world of independent cinema. Conversations with filmmakers Charles Burnett, Julie Dash, and Arthur Jaffa are linked with critical essays, including a piece on Larry Clark's Kids, to show that cinema can function subversively as well as maintain the status quo.
