This book approaches the topic of the state of post-cinema from a new direction. The authors explore how film has left the cinema as a fixed site and institution and now appears ubiquitous - in the museum and on the street, on planes and cars and new digital communication platforms of various kinds. The authors investigate how film has become more than cinema, no longer a medium that is based on the photochemical recording and replay of movement. Most often, the state of post-cinema is conceptualized from the ?high end? of the most advanced technology; discussions focus on performance capture and digital 3-D, 4-K projection and industrial light & magic. Here, the authors? approach is focused on the ?low-end? circulation of filmic images. This includes informal networks of exchange and transaction, such as p2p-networks, video platforms and so called ?piracy? with a special focus on the Middle East and North Africa, where political and social transformations make new forms of circulation and presentation particularly visible.
