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

[Bernard Roddy]

I read the first four pages. One can hear in this the debates associated
with higher education and the resources available to would-be students,
hiring patterns and decisions about what programs to cut or what
technologies to teach. It feels like some kind of report to a dean or to a
chief executive officer who would otherwise be reading the Wall Street
Journal about the new iPhone and investment strategy. One can surmise that
this discourse also turns on questions concerned with the liberal arts and
the value of course work in which "currency" is not respected. Could this
survive more fruitfully in the context of studio art programs and course
work that include creative writing? We're looking at a student body that
enrolls for reasons that are difficult to translate into other cultures or
economies.

> 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.
