Cinema in the Digital Age

Over the last several decades, digital technologies have profoundly changed the ways that movies are made, as well as the ways that we watch them. But these changes are neither simple nor straightforward. In Cinema in the Digital Age, Nicholas Rombes surveys these changes with a kaleidoscopic collage of observations, suggestions, and extrapolations. -- Steven Shaviro, DeRoy Professor of English, Wayne State University Nicholas Rombes' updated version of Cinema in the Digital Age is a playful and provocative work. His book offers a compelling and creative approach to film criticism grounded in the material aspects of digital media as it becomes our everyday mode for making, distributing, watching, and sharing movies. -- Chuck Tryon, Fayetteville State University The rise of digital has changed not only the ways films are made, but the ways they are watched, thought, and dreamed about. In this revised edition of his groundbreaking Cinema in the Digital Age, Nicholas Rombes thrillingly identifies the essential films, technologies and practices emblematizing the rupture of digital before peering, with both anxiety and excitement, into the pixel-smeared wilderness ahead. -- Scott Macaulay, editor-in-chief, <i>Filmmaker Magazine</i>; producer, Forensic Films Like the first edition, Rombes's revised edition proves a relevant resource for film and digital media scholars. * Choice *
