In this illuminating and provocative survey; Stephen Barber examines the historical relationship between film and the urban landscape. Projected Cities looks with particular focus at the cinema of Europe and Japan; two closely linked cinematic cultures which have been foremost in the use of urban imagery; to reveal elements of culture; architecture and history. By examining this imagery; especially at moments of turmoil and experimentation; the author reveals how cinema has used images of cities to influence our perception of everything from history to the human body; and how cinematic images of cities have been fundamental to the ways in which the city has been imagined; formulated and remembered. The book goes on to assess the impact of media culture on the status of film and cinema spaces; and concludes by considering digital renderings of the modern city. Projected Cities will appeal to all readers engaged with the city; film and contemporary culture.
