The Yin and Yang of Short Film Storytelling

Exploring the concept of yin yang in short films, Raskin introduces a groundbreaking framework that redefines these terms as ungendered and free from patriarchal influence. Yin represents qualities like openness and interpretation, while yang embodies structure and control. The book analyzes ten exemplary short films, demonstrating how this model enhances understanding of their narratives. It includes detailed, illustrated breakdowns of the films, many presented in color, along with useful links for further exploration.
