Course Site for Future Cinema 1 (and sometimes Future Cinema 2: Applied Theory) at York University, Canada
sorry everyone — I had disabled new registrations last term when no course was running (it keeps spam down) and forgot to change the options. If you scroll down the right hand side you should now see a registration link. If you don’t see a ‘register’ link, please refresh your browser. If this still doesn’t work, please contact me directly via email. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

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.
