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

[Samirah Alkassim]

Thank you Kim for sharing your work!  It takes a lot of stamina to write a
book about anything, let alone what is now a niche that so many people have
given up on. I look forward to reading the book and may end up using parts
of it for an  undergrad class I teach on film form.

Congratulations on the book.

> 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.
