(Paperback)

An ambitious and highly original analysis of the terrain of contemporary and future film theory, production and practice.

(Hardback)

An attempt to connect the study of film with the actual viewing and consumption practices of mainstream cinematic culture. This book discusses that theory has rendered the majority of approaches to film insular, self-reflective, obtuse, and elitist. It redefines cinema aesthetics in terms of the obsessive consumption of cinematic texts.
