Abstract

The moving-image industry today is in a period of transformation in terms of technology, scope, and audience. With seeds sown by the breakup of the studio system in the late 1940s, and gathering momentum with the advent of the digital revolution over the past two decades, the business of making movies, the avenues for distributing movies, the means of watching movies—even the definition of what a movie is—have been undergoing fundamental change. There are now more ways than ever before to create, consume, and interact with moving-image content. The paradigm-shifting cultural and technological transformations of recent years have given rise to wholly new models of creation, circulation, usage, and spreadability of moving-image storytelling.
