{"product_id":"9781441141590","title":"The Orientation of Future Cinema: Technology, Aesthetics, Spectacle","description":"What is the fate of cinema in an age of new technologies, new aesthetic styles, new modes of cultural production and consumption? What becomes of cinema and a century-long history of the moving image when the theatre is outmoded as a social and aesthetic space, as celluloid gives over to digital technology, as the art-house and multiplex are overtaken by a proliferation of home entertainment systems? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Orientation of Future Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e offers an ambitious and compelling argument for the continued life of cinema as image, narrative and experience. Commencing with Lumière's \u003ci\u003eArrival of a Train at a Station\u003c\/i\u003e, Bruce Isaacs confronts the threat of contemporary digital technologies and processes by returning to cinema's complex history as a technological and industrial phenomenon. The technology of moving images has profoundly changed; and yet cinema materialises ever more forcefully in digital capture and augmentation, 3-D perception and affect, High Frame Rate cinema, and the evolution of spectacle as the dominant aesthetic mode in contemporary studio production.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128129994992,"sku":"9781441141590","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781441141590_p0.jpg?v=1763791697","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781441141590","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
