Reviews
"No recent book on cinema has moved me so deeply as Life 24x a Second has moved me, from its opening reflections on lifeshocks to its profoundly resonant conclusions on what films can teach us about living wholehearted lives as friends, parents, teachers, and students. In a dazzling testament to her twenty years of award-winning teaching experience, Walker privileges her students' voices, and in so doing offers astonishing explorations of cinema's real-world value - specifically, why the medium matters in relation both to one's most personal concerns and to our society's most pressing problems. At once compassionate and incisive, Life 24x a Second is a defibrillator to the heart." -- Katherine Spring, Wilfrid Laurier University, "No recent book on cinema has moved me so deeply as Life 24x a Second has moved me, from its opening reflections on lifeshocks to its profoundly resonant conclusions on what films can teach us about living wholehearted lives as friends, parents, teachers, and students.

Synopsis
Life 24x a Second highlights the life-sustaining and life-affirming power of cinema. Author Elsie Walker pays particular attention to pedagogical practice and students' reflections on what the study of cinema has given to their lives.

Ultimately, Walker shows how cinema that moves us emotionally can move us toward a better world.Life 24x a Second makes the case for cinema as a lifeforce in uplifting and widely relatable ways.
