Boyle is the author of a new book on Cambodia’s most celebrated director and genocide survivor; Ferryman of Memories: The Films of Rithy Panh is forthcoming from Rutgers University Press.
Associate Professor DEIRDRE BOYLE is the author of an essay commissioned by the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive for its special N.E.H. preservation initiative highlighting the work of the pioneering Seventies’ guerrilla television group TVTV. Her essay, “The Eternal Return of Video Innovation,” will be available on the museum’s website and looks at the forgotten link between early video and new media’s role today as a tool, a weapon, and a witness.
