Encompassing experimental film and video, essay film, gallery-based
installation art, and digital art, Jihoon Kim establishes the concept of
hybrid moving images as an array of impure images shaped by the encounters
and negotiations between different media, while also using it to explore
various theoretical issues, such as stillness and movement, indexicality,
abstraction, materiality, afterlives of the celluloid cinema, archive,
memory, apparatus, and the concept of medium as such.

Grounding its study in interdisciplinary framework of film studies, media
studies, and contemporary art criticism, *Between Film, Video, and the
Digital *offers a fresh insight on the post-media conditions of film and
video under the pervasive influences of digital technologies, as well as on
the crucial roles of media hybridity in the creative processes of giving
birth to the emerging forms of the moving image. Incorporating in-depth
readings of recent works by more than thirty artists and filmmakers,
including Jim Campbell, Bill Viola, Sam Taylor-Johnson, David Claerbout,
Fiona Tan, Takeshi Murata, Jennifer West, Ken Jacobs, Christoph Girardet
and Matthias Müller, Hito Steyerl, Lynne Sachs, Harun Farocki, Doug Aitken,
Douglas Gordon, Stan Douglas, Candice Breitz, among others, the book is the
essential scholarly monograph for understanding how digital technologies
simultaneously depend on and differ film previous time-based media, and how
this juncture of similarities and differences signals a new regime of the
art of the moving image.

*Jihoon Kim* is an assistant professor of cinema and media studies at
Chung-Ang University, South Korea. His essays on film theory, media theory,
experimental film and video, arts of the moving image, and digital art have
appeared in *Screen, Film Quarterly, Animation: An Interdisciplinary
Journal, and Millennium Film Journa*l, amongst others. Currently he is
working on a new book manuscript entitled *Documentary's Expanded Fields:
New Media, New Platforms, and the Documentary*.
