Cinema Without Organs is an interdisciplinary zine that features essays from artists and scholars who explore cinema as a site for possibility. Cinema Without Organs riffs on French philosopher, Gilles Deleuze, and French psychoanalyst, Félix Guattari’s interpretation of the Body Without Organs. The Body Without Organs is a term originally coined by French artist, Antonin Artaud.
