Content
What is film? Or rather, what was film? Today, the answer to that question may lie in a complex approach to the moving image. Film theoretical, art historical, cultural sociological and political-economic “readings” interlock to understand how the cinematic viewing experience (“the cinema”) differs from television or interactive media use (video, DVD, computer, museum). Thematic film sequences allow us to talk about meaning-making and meaning-making in narrative cinema, experimental film practice and the documentary image.
