Locating the Moving Image
New Approaches to Film and Place
Edited by Julia Hallam and Les Roberts
"This collection breaks new ground for
cinema history. Hallam and Roberts have gathered some of the
foremost scholars who are mapping spatial histories of the moving
image and the geographies of film production, distribution and
consumption. Introducing new interdisciplinary methods and asking
new questions, Locating the Moving Image takes film
studies into new territory, beyond the boundaries of the text and
its interpretation, towards an understanding of the relationship
between culture, spatiality and place." —Richard Maltby, Matthew
Flinders Distinguished Professor of Screen Studies, Flinders
University
Leading scholars in the interdisciplinary
field of geo-spatial visual studies examine the social experience
of cinema and the different ways in which film production
developed as a commercial enterprise, as a leisure activity, and
as modes of expression and communication. Their research charts
new pathways in mapping the relationship between film production
and local film practices, theatrical exhibition circuits and
cinema going, creating new forms of spatial anthropology. Topics
include cinematic practices in rural and urban communities,
development of cinema by amateur filmmakers, and use of GIS in
mapping the spatial development of film production and cinema
going as social practices.
