Description
Stickiness is ambiguous. Sometimes it is a problem, sometimes a solution. It holds a strong affective charge between arousal, lust and disgust. If something is sticky, it promises relation while also threatening unwanted clinginess and the collapse of boundaries between self and other. This volume seeks out moments of stickiness in media cultures, thinking "film" beyond moving images as sediment, residue or layer that transforms, repairs, melts, and splices. Sticky Films explores stickiness in three parts: through sticky feelings, sticky modes of being and becoming, and the representations and material traces of stickiness in audiovisual media.
