Luc Vancheri on Expanded Cinema and Neo-Media Images

In a text for art press, Luc Vancheri, professor of Film Studies at Université Lyon 2, revisits the concept of expanded cinema, which the magazine has recently addressed through contributions by Dominique Païni and Maël Renouard. Vancheri argues that this theoretical hinge in the debate on moving images must be re-examined from a historical model of cinema whose final chapter remains to be written. He insists the issue cannot be resolved without opening it to the more urgent question of neo-media images. The text serves as a response to Jacques Aumont's essay 'Que reste-t-il du cinéma ?' published by Vrin, which was previously discussed by Dork Zabunyan in art press.
