Discovering the potential of video and film art

An informative, inspiring, richly illustrated book on contemporary moving-image art. After Cinema sets out to use the latest technologies to short-circuit the universally understandable language of the mass media and to make art once again a critical mirror of its time.

Around sixty artists from more than twenty countries are presented in eight chapters, which address social, political, and scientific themes such as racism, climate change, capitalism, eccentricity, sex, zeitgeist, and fashionable and frightening technologies, in a way that is both playful and innovative.
