About this listen

‘Growing up in the 1970s and 1980s, my window on the world was film, and as a filmmaker, teacher and film critic, I have encountered many people for whom the cinema fulfils the same function.’

This memoir by acclaimed film critic Jon Towlson reflects on the various ways in which film provides a ‘window on the world’ for the author, his students, people he has known and the community to which he belongs.

Discussing a range of cinema-related activities, from film societies to film workshops, cine clubs, film education classes, repertory cinemas and home video, Towlson explores the idea of cinema as a window through which we seek to satisfy our innate curiosity about the wider world and the lives of others.
