About

This is the website of academic and filmmaker James Newton.

I am a film and media academic at the University of Kent, and author of the monographs The Anarchist Cinema (Intellect, 2019) and The Mad Max Effect (Bloomsbury 2021). My film and video practice incorporates both narrative and experimental forms. My feature film, Black Lizard Tales, is available on Blu-ray and VOD through Darkside Releasing.
