From moving images on the Internet to giant IMAX displays: The number of screens in the public and private sphere has increased significantly during the last two decades. While this is often
taken to indicate the 'death of cinema,' this volume attempts to reconsider the limits and specifics of film and the traditional movie theater. It analyzes notions of spectatorship, the
relationship between cinema and the 'uncinematic,' the contested place of installation art in the history of experimental cinema, and the characteristics of the high definition image. Further
contributions discuss the ways in which cinema interacts with other arts and media such as theater and television.
