book		Film and television after DVD / edited by James Bennett and Tom Brown Routledge, 2009. Call No: 701 FIL Author: Bennett, James; Brown, Tom Publisher: Routledge PubDate: 2009 PhysDes: viii, 201 p. : ill. ; 24 cm Subject: DIGITAL MEDIA AND THE CINEMA; DIGITAL PROJECTION; DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY; DVD, FILMS ON Summary: Brings together a group of internationally renowned scholars to provide the first focused academic inquiry into this important technology. The book picks up on key issues within contemporary media studies, making a particularly significant contribution to debates about convergence and interactivity in the digital media landscape. Essays consider DVD as a technology that exists outside the boundaries of new and old media, examining its place within longer histories of home film cultures and production practices of the film and television industries, whilst also critically evaluating what is genuinely new about digital media technologies. From DVDs to downloading, peer-to-peer networking and HD-DVD, this book speaks of the rapidly evolving digital mediascape. Ultimately, Film and Television After DVD is a book that considers the convergence of film, television and new media and their academic disciplines through the DVD as a distinct cultural object, pointing to persistent questions in the study of audiovisual culture that will remain intriguing long after the shelf-life of the DVD itself.
