This book focuses on the unique forms of expression in the diary film and the essay film, especially how authorship of filmmakers can be integrated in the voice-over as a narrative strategy in first-person cinema. The book is divided into two sections: the first section “essays” contains three chapters, and in these chapters I use films of Liu Na’Ou,
Hollis Frampton, Jonas Mekas, and José Luis Guerín as cases for filmic textual analyses, to discuss the issues of authorial presence, the voiceover narration, and audiovisual structure. In the second section “interviews”,
four important researchers and filmmakers contribute their thoughts and reflections on how the essay film and the diary film can be approached and understood.

本書探討第一人稱電影中的散文電影與日記電影,包含它們特殊的美學形式以及作者身分的問題。而筆者更為關切的是,這個作者身分-這個「我」的聲音-是如何地在影片中被呈現出來。

本書共分為兩個部分,第一部分「essays」包括三個章節,分別從劉吶鷗先生、Hollis Frampton、Jonas Mekas,以及José Luis Guerín的電影作品作為研究案例分析,來討論散文電影與日記電影中的作者、旁白運用,以及影音結構等重要議題。第二部分「interviews」專訪了四位散文電影與日記電影的研究學者及創作者,從創作者與理論研究的經驗及角度出發,筆者企圖能夠藉此而更加接近散文電影與日記電影的核心。
