[spectre] Publication Announcement | Movie Circuits:

[Diana McCarty]

Greetings All,

Greetings all & Menotti,

Speaking as a former film projectionist, film programmer, cosmic
adviser and film fan,
I'm really curious about this publication...

"The indisciplinary experience of curators and projectionists provides
... " made me look into it, but at 95 euros,
I'd hesitate to even steal such a tome! There is also a line about a
crisis in film (movies?) which I don't see at all.

Anyhow, if somebody does buy, steal, pirate a copy, please let me know
what you think!

All the best,
Diana

> 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.
