While the main crux of this text involves encounters with transnational cinema, and specifically how to ethically and non-violently facilitate these encounters in a classroom, Marciniak and Bennett's book can be used as a generative destabilisation of assumptions about the other , about the containability of knowledge-transfer, and about spectatorship in general. Moreover, the reflections offered in the book draw attention to one's relationship with oneself - a critical and ongoing reflection for any pedagogical or artistic experience. -Shabnam Piryaei, Sense of Cinema
