  • Friedberg is perhaps best known for her book Window Shopping: Cinema and the Postmodern (1993, University of California Press), and, more recently, The Virtual Window: From Alberti to Microsoft, published by MIT Press.



    She launched The Virtual Window Interactive, a translation/extension of the book created in collaboration with designer Erik Loyer. She was also the co-editor of Close Up 1927-1933: Cinema and Modernism, an anthology of critical and theoretical writing.



    Named as a 2008 Academy Film Scholar by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, her next planned project was a work of digital scholarship on Slavko Vorkapich, a special effects cinematographer, montage expert and former dean of the USC School of Cinematic Arts.



    Friedberg consistently worked to expand narrow disciplinary boundaries, an effort carried on by a legion of former graduate students.
