This unique collection of statements and mini-essays is the result of an invitation to various practitioners and cultural figures to address the importance of film and analogue in the digital age. It includes contributions from a wide range of significant voices such as actors, archivists, artists, chemists, cinematographers, critics, curators, editors, film conservators, film directors, film historians, filmmakers, musicians, photographers, record producers, software designers, theorists and writers.
With an introductory essay on Tacita Dean's work by Nicholas Cullinan and a new text by the artist, FILM is an important contribution to one of the most urgent cultural debates of our time.
