In addition, MacDonald’s dossier of interviews with filmmaker veterans of Harvard’s Sensory Ethnography Lab was published in the fall issue of Framework: The Journal of Cinema and Media.
Two of the filmmakers discussed in the book and interviewed in the dossier are part of this year’s F.I.L.M. (Forum on Image and Language in Motion) series.
