It argues for the continuing relevance of material engagement in opening up new ways of seeing and perceiving the world. Challenging discourses of replacement and notions of fetishism and nostalgia, the book outlines the contours of a photochemical renaissance driven by collective passion, creative resistance, and artistic reinvention. Celluloid processes continue to play a key role in the evolution of experimental cinema aesthetics, and this book offers a personal journey through the work of several major contemporary film artists. It brings a fresh perspective to the communities and infrastructures supporting this dynamic field and mobilizes a wide range of theoretical perspectives drawn from media archaeology, new materialism, ecocriticism, and social ecology. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the author\u003cbr\u003eKim Knowles teaches alternative and experimental cinema at Aberystwyth University in Wales and is curator of the Black Box section of the Edinburgh International Film Festival.
