Second Century of Cinema
Contemplates the future of cinema in light of emerging digital technologies and new systems of distribution.
In a unique and perceptive look at the future of cinema, Wheeler Winston Dixon explores the possible effects of the digital age on the production and exhibition of films. Although Hollywood will seek to retain its dominance over the global presentation of entertainment, Dixon argues, a new vision of international access-a democracy of images-will finally inform the future structure of cinema in the twenty-first century.
Wheeler Winston Dixon is Chairperson of the Film Studies Program and Professor of English at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. He is the author of many books, including most recently The Exploding Eye: A Re-Visionary History of 1960s American Experimental Cinema; The Films of Jean-Luc Godard; and The Transparency of Spectacle: Meditations on the Moving Image, all published by SUNY Press.
