The virtual life of film

I. The virtual life of film

Futureworld

The incredible shrinking medium

Back to the future

II. What was Cinema?

Film begets video

The death of cinema and the birth of film studies

A medium in all things

Automatisms and art

Automatism and photography

Succession and the film strip

Ways of worldmaking

A world past

An ethics of time

III. A new landscape (without image)

An elegy for film

The new "media"

Paradoxes of perceptual realism

Real is as real does

Lost in translation: analogy and index revisited

Simulation, or automatism as algorithm

An image that is not "one"

Two futures for electronic Images, or what comes after photography?

The digital event

Transcoded ontologies, or "A guess at the riddle"

Old and new, or the (virtual) renascence of cinema studies.
