Representations of Mathematics in Cinema 2008

Directed by Clint Enns

Representations of Mathematics in Cinema (Canada, 2008, 18 minutes) From Werner Herzog's Enigma of Kaspar Hauser to Jodie Foster's Little Man Tate, Enns provides both good and bad examples of mathematical representation in mainstream, narrative cinema. In context, Enns creates a juxtaposition between the way mathematics is presented in narrative and non-narrative cinema.
