Cinema futuro

Abstract

From the very beginning, directors, critics, historians of cinema but also of art and, again, writers and artists questioned the technologies to ask themselves what future cinema would have had, which paths it could have explored: from René Berjavel's "total cinema" "Expanded cinema" by Gene Youngblood up to "future cinema" by Jeffrey Shaw and Peter Weibel and "soft cinema" by Lev Manovich. Today, more than ever, digital requires us to look at what is happening to photograph the present and try to project ourselves in new ways, forms and audiovisual practices, trying to intercept some directions that cinema could take. The author therefore proposes a "futurology of cinema" which is also (and above all) a look at the present and the most advanced forms of experimentation in the field of audiovisual storytelling.
