Description
Film Criticism in the Digital Age by Mattias Frey and Cecilia Sayad explores the changing landscape of film criticism in the 21st century. As digital media has expanded, traditional outlets have declined, leading to concerns about the status and purpose of serious film criticism. The book brings together ten scholars from around the world to consider whether serious film criticism is dying out or being reborn in new forms. Drawing on a range of case studies and methodological perspectives, the contributors examine both the challenges and possibilities presented by the internet for evaluating, promoting, and explaining artistic works. Through a diverse collection of scholarly perspectives and statements from key critics, including Armond White and Nick James, Film Criticism in the Digital Age offers a comprehensive look at the impact of digital culture on film criticism.
