Promotional graphic for the book "Screen Captures: Film in the Age of Emergency" by Stephen Lee Naish. On the left is the book cover featuring abstract, glitchy vertical streaks in blue, white, and orange tones with the title arranged vertically. The background is a distorted, static-like image in similar colors. On the right, a quote reads, β€œa kaleidoscopic blending of cinema, politics, and pop-culture” attributed to Iain Reid. Lever Press logo appears in the bottom right corner.

Promotional graphic for β€œTrigger Warnings”. The book cover can be found to the left of the graphic, which has white text and contains a surrealist and absurdist art piece depicting a scene of chaos with three people with abstract shaped bodies. To the right of the cover image, a review quote by Shereen Inayatulla in white text above a pink background reads, β€œThis collection enlivens critical pedagogies by treating the subject of trigger warnings with the care and nuanced consideration urgently needed.” The Lever Press logo in white appears next to the quote. Above the quotation there is an enlarged section of the artwork found on the cover.

One month to go! Screen Captures lands in print and on Open Access March 17.
The essays cover a lot of ground but basically take in the period 2009-2021. Crash to Covid + emergencies between.
