OOOPS!, well it seems I attached the whole book rather than the flyer (mid-semester fatigue!!), so enjoy! But if you do want to buy the physical copy here’s the flyer.
Happy reading!

Subject: New book: Experimental Film and Photochemical Practices

Dear Frameworkers,

I’m delighted to announce the publication of my book Experimental Film and Photochemical Practices, part of the Palgrave Macmillan series in Experimental Film and Artists’ Moving Image: https://www.palgrave.com/gp/book/9783030443085. This has been an epic project, shaped by many people on this list. Thank you so much to everyone who contributed, both directly and indirectly.

I attach a flyer, which entitles you to 20% off the original price.

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.

Book launch details to follow.

All the best,
Kim
