Cinephilia and Film Culture in the Age of Digital Networks

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The State of Post-Cinema

Abstract

This chapter examines the transformations that film culture and cinephilia have undergone in the age of the digital. In focusing on the role of online portals and websites, as well as on the dialectics of materiality and immateriality, it becomes clear that the recent developments do not radically break with the past, but continue and twist dynamics that are known from the twentieth century.
