This introduction to contemporary digital cinema tracks its intersection
with video art, music video, animation, print design and live club
events to create an avantgarde for the new millennium. It begins by
investigating digital cinema and its contribution to innovations in the
feature-film format, examining animation and live-action hybrids, the
gritty aesthetic of the Dogme 95 filmmakers, the explosions of frames
within frames and the evolution of the 'ambient narrative' film. This
study then looks at the creation of new genres and moving-image
experiences as what we know as 'cinema' enters new venues and formats.
