Supercinema

Exploring the intersection of digital special effects and cinematic techniques, this book examines how contemporary films like Avatar and The Matrix necessitate a new theoretical framework. William Brown argues that while analogue cinema concealed its limitations, digital cinema obscures its capabilities through traditional conventions. The work delves into film theory, philosophy, and cognitive approaches, focusing on the dynamic relationship between spectators and films that leverage digital technology for a heightened, 'supercinematic' experience.
