Cinephilia: movies, love and memory

The anthology Cinephilia: Movies, Love and Memory explores new periods, practices and definitions of what it means to love the cinema. The essays demonstrate that beyond individualist immersion in film, typical of the cinephilia as it was popular from the 1950s to the 1970s, a new type of cinephilia has emerged since the 1980s, practices by a new generation of equally devoted, but quite differently networked cinephiles. The film over of today embraces and uses new technology while also nostalgically remembering and caring for outdated media formats.
