Course Site for Future Cinema 1 (and sometimes Future Cinema 2: Applied Theory) at York University, Canada
After the screening in class, I thought of this documentary I saw at TIFF and thought just about how amazing it would be to experience the Shining hotel with this doc playing in your ears as you walk around the space….. check out the trailer (also it’s a really entertaining film, especially if you’re a fan of The Shining)

This course examines the shift from traditional cinematic spectacle to works probing the frontiers of interactive, performative, and networked media. Drawing upon a broad range of scholarship, including film theory, communication studies, cultural studies and new media theory, the course will consider how digital technologies are transforming the semiotic fabric of contemporary visual culture. Our focus will be on the phenomenon Gene Youngblood described three decades ago as expanded cinema an explosion of the frame outward towards immersive, interactive and interconnected (i.e., environmental) forms of culture.
