In the good seats

'In the Good Seats' is a collection of essays featuring some of the most talented writers working today, setting their sights on what's so alluring and moving about film and cinema. A childhood film encountered on the big screen, a favourite celluloid instant, a resonating discovery, an awkward first date; the threadbare seats, the click and whirr of the projector, the sense of scale expanding. Each essayist in this extensive collection unearths those particularly breathless and unforgettable moments when their lives were touched by film.
