Books by Paul Matthew St. Pierre

Carl Theodor Dreyer was a visionary director whose films were based less on his screenplays than on his preconceptions, his complete formal, aesthetic cinematic projections of the films he deputized actors, cinematographers, and crew to produce. Cinematography of Carl Theodor Dreyer examines the life and work of a brilliant director and visionary.

Cinematography in the Weimar Republic argues that the new medium of film was preeminent among the avant-garde art forms that distinguished the cultural renaissance of the Weimar Republic and that within this progressive medium cinematographers were the leading purveyors of the new kinetic visual imaginary.
