In Watching Films, an international cast of contributors correct this problem with a comprehensive investigation of movie going, cinema exhibition, and film reception around the world. With a focus on the social, economic and cultural factors that influence how we watch and think about movies, this volume centres its investigations on four areas of inquiry: Who watches films? Under what circumstances? What consequences and affects follow? And what do these acts of consumption mean? Responding to these questions, the contributors provide both historical perspective and fresh insights about the ways in which new viewing arrangements and technologies influence how films get watched everywhere from Canada to China to Ireland.
A long-overdue consideration of an important topic, Watching Films provides an engrossing overview of how we do just that in our homes and across the globe.
Reviews / Votes
'Addresses a broad range of topics under the umbrella of "new cinema history," and thus serves as a jumping-off point for new and established scholars interested in exploring a different form of film criticism and analysis' -- CHOICE, A. F. Winstead 'Texts like 'Watching Films' prove invaluable with their emphasis on audience research and exhibition practices.' -- Post Script, L. Raw 'The collection is intended to address neglected terrain within film studies, to complement the wealth of material focused purely on the cinematic text. The collection succeeds, aptly demonstrating the value of analyzing broader infrastructures of reception.' -- Media International Australia, C. HightMore details
