Cinema and audiovisual media are integral to the culture, economy
and social experience of the contemporary global city. But how has
the relationship between cinema and the urban environment evolved
in the era of digital technology, new media and globalization? And
what are the critical tools and concepts with which we can grasp
this vital interconnection between space and screen, viewer and
built environment? Engaging with a rapidly transforming urban
world, the contributions to this collection rethink the 'cinematic
city' at a global scale. By presenting a global constellation of
screen cities within one volume, the book encourages juxtapositions
and comparisons across the North and South to capture the global
city and its dynamics of exchange, hybridity, and circulation. The
contributions examine film and screen cultures in a range of
locations spanning five continents: Antibes, Beijing, Buenos Aires,
Busan, Cairo, Caracas, Copenhagen, Jakarta, Kolkata, Lagos, Los
Angeles, Malmo, Manila, Mumbai, Nairobi, Paris, Seoul, Sete, and
Shanghai. The chapters address topics that range across the
contemporary film and media landscape, from popular cinema, art
cinema, and film festivals to serial television, public screens,
multimedia installations, and video art. Contributors: Chris Berry,
Yomi Braester, Jinhee Choi, Pei-Sze Chow, Thomas Elsaesser, Malini
Guha, Jonathan Haynes, Will Higbee, Igor Krstic, Christian B. Long,
Joanna Page, Lawrence Webb.
