Movie Circuits attempts to grasp media in the making. It delves into the
underbelly of cinema in order to explore how images circulate and
apparatus crystallize across different material formations. The
indisciplinary experience of curators and projectionists provides a
means to suspend traditional film studies and engage with the medium as
it happens, as a continuing, self-differing mess. From contemporary art
exhibitions to pirate screenings, research and practice come together in
a vibrant form of media scholarship, built from the angle of cinema’s
functionaries – a call to reinvent the medium from within.</div><div><br>
