[Frameworks] FW: New book: Experimental Film and Photochemical Practices

[Ryder White]

Do other people find Bernie’s unsolicited critiques useful? Seems to me
that if you don’t like it, don’t read it. But nobody needs you to throw
shade on something they’ve put a lot of hard work into.

>> Description:
>>
>> This book assesses the contemporary status of photochemical film practice
>> against a backdrop of technological transition and obsolescence. It argues
>> for the continued relevance of material engagement for opening up
>> alternative ways of seeing and sensing the world. Questioning narratives of
>> replacement and notions of fetishism and nostalgia, the book sketches out
>> the contours of a photochemical renaissance driven by collective passion,
>> creative resistance and artistic reinvention. Celluloid processes continue
>> to play a key role in the evolution of experimental film aesthetics and
>> this book takes a personal journey into the work of several key
>> contemporary film artists. It provides fresh insight into the communities
>> and infrastructures that sustain this vibrant field and mobilises a wide
>> range of theoretical perspectives drawn from media archaeology, new
>> materialism, ecocriticism and social ecology.
