Time Being: The Moving Images of Daniel Cockburn

by Tom McSorley

Canadian Film Institute, 2013

ISBN 0-919096-49-2

"Intellectually febrile, philosophically fertile, and formally agile, the works of Daniel Cockburn are propelled by that great Canadian cinematic preoccupation with ontological and epistemological uncertainty. By turns essayistic, diaristic, satiric, poetic, dramatic, and comedic, Cockburn's explorations of contemporary media-saturated experience also grapple with our predicament of existing in time, located and dislocated as we are within its skein of possibilities and limitations" (from the back cover).
