Deadline at Dawn
Film Criticism 1980-1990
Judith Williamson [+–]
Judith Williamson is a professor and journalist, formerly a teacher of cultural studies at the Maidstone College of Art. She is the author of Decoding Advertisements: Ideology and Meaning in Advertising, Deadline at Dawn, and Consuming Passions: The Dynamics of Popular Culture.
This third book from Judith Williamson is once again concerned with popular culture – this time examining the medium of film. She asks what films are for, who they are for, what are the ways of looking at different kinds of films – from the Hollywood blockbuster to micro-budget indies.
