A review of two books centering around trauma and film. Article author Walsh discusses Dirk the Bruyn's The Performance of Trauma in Moving Image Art and Davina Quinlivan's Filming the Body in Crisis: Trauma, Healing and Hopefulness. Whereas de Bruyn's work focusses on avant-garde materialist film, Quinlivan's centres mainly around mainstream and independent narrative film.
