What becomes of cinema and a century-long history of the moving image when the theatre is outmoded as a social and aesthetic space, as celluloid gives over to digital technology, as the art-house and multiplex are overtaken by a proliferation of home entertainment systems? \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Orientation of Future Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e offers an ambitious and compelling argument for the continued life of cinema as image, narrative and experience. Commencing with Lumière's \u003ci\u003eArrival of a Train at a Station\u003c\/i\u003e, Bruce Isaacs confronts the threat of contemporary digital technologies and processes by returning to cinema's complex history as a technological and industrial phenomenon. The technology of moving images has profoundly changed; and yet cinema materialises ever more forcefully in digital capture and augmentation, 3-D perception and affect, High Frame Rate cinema, and the evolution of spectacle as the dominant aesthetic mode in contemporary studio production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45087475990679,"sku":"9781628924312","price":4357.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781628924312.webp?v=1767143069","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-orientation-of-future-cinema-9781628924312","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
