| book description |

Film has long been defined as a temporal art, most famously by AndrÃ© Bazin and Andrei Tarkovsky. Yet more fundamentally it has always been a spatial art, transporting its audiences imaginatively to spaces and places other than those they literally inhabit. In the digital era, this spatial illusion and paradox has been greatly expanded â€“ by the predominance of domestic film viewing, along with new extra-terrestrial perspectives, and the promise of novel kinesthetic experiences with Virtual Reality and â€œimmersionâ€. The international authors in this collection address the history and aesthetics of screen media as spatial transposition, in a range of exemplary analyses that run from the landscapes of John Fordâ€™s westerns to Chantal Akermanâ€™s claustrophobic domestic spaces, from the conventions of the English country house film to Patrick Keillerâ€™s Robinson roaming a changed country, and from the experiences of Covid pandemic confinement to those of un-homed van-dwellers in Chloe Zhaoâ€™s award-winning NOMADLAND.
