Cinema Hangs Tough

Starting from a new formulation to the end of cinema issue – “What remains of cinema?” – Gaudreault and Marion answer: “cinema is hanging tough” and argue that the “resilience” of cinema depends on what we are talking about with this word both in terms of digitalization and cultural differences. They examine the different hypotheses arising in this regard from the point of view of the range of words it mobilizes (cinema, movie, moving images, and so on). Differences in naming are “highly significant” as we can observe in a Bogdanovitch-Welles dialogue or at the occasion of the Netflix controversy during the recent Cannes or Venice festivals.
