In the footsteps of Andre Bazin; this anthology of 15 original essays argues that the photographic origin of twentieth-century cinema is anti-anthropocentric. Well aware that the twentieth century stands out as the only period in history with its own photographic film record for posterity; Angela Dalle Vacche has convened international scholars at The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute; and asked them to rethink the history and theory of the cinema as a new model for the museum of the future.By exploring the art historical tropes of face and landscape; and key areas of film studies such as early cinema; Soviet film theory; documentary; the avant-garde and the newly-born genre of the museum film; this collection includes detailed discussions of installation art; and close analyses of media relations which range from dance to painting to performance art.Thanks to the title of Andre Malrauxs famous project; Film; Art; New Media: Museum Without Walls? invites readers to reflect on the museum of the future; where twentieth-century cinema will play a pivotal role by interrogating the relation between art and science; technology and nature; from the side of photography in dialogue with digitalization.
