- Zusatztext
- <div>This book approaches the topic of the state of post-cinema from a new direction. The authors explore how film has left the cinema as a fixed site and institution and now appears&nbsp;ubiquitous - in the museum and on the street, on planes and cars and new digital communication platforms of various kinds. The authors investigate how film has become&nbsp;more than cinema, no longer a medium that is based on the photochemical recording and replay of movement.&nbsp;Most often, the state of post-cinema is conceptualized from the "high end" of the most advanced technology; discussions focus on performance capture and digital 3-D, 4-K projection and industrial light& magic. Here, the authors' approach is focused on the "low-end" circulation of filmic images. This includes informal networks of exchange and transaction, such as p2p-networks, video platforms and so called piracy with a special focus on the Middle East and North Africa, where political and social transformations makenew forms of circulation and presentation particularly visible.<br></div><div><br></div>
