Emotion and affect are the basic mechanisms that connect us to our environment, shape our knowledge, and motivate our actions. Contributors explore how film represents and shapes human emotion in relation to different environments and what role time, place, and genre play in these affective processes. Individual essays resituate well-researched environmental films such as \u003ci\u003eAn Inconvenient Truth\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMarch of the Penguins\u003c\/i\u003e by paying close attention to their emotionalizing strategies, and bring to our attention the affective qualities of films that have so far received little attention from ecocritics, such as Stan Brakhage's \u003ci\u003eDog Star Man\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The collection opens a new discursive space at the disciplinary intersection of film studies, affect studies, and a growing body of ecocritical scholarship. It will be of interest not only to scholars and students working in the field of ecocriticism and the environmental humanities, but for everyone with an interest in our emotional responses to film. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWeik Von Mossner, Alexa:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eAlexa Weik von Mossner\u003c\/b\u003e is an assistant professor of American studies at the University of Klagenfurt in Austria.
