New digital methods of cinema require new theoretical approaches, argues Brown (film studies, U. of Roehampton, England). His thoughts on some of the theoretical directions film studies should take in relation to digital cinema are presented in five chapters that address the presentation of continuous space in digital films versus the fragmented space of earlier film; the unsettling of the figure-ground relationship; the nature of time in digital cinema; the rise of an "ecological" logic of space, time, and our place in the universe that reflects a new understanding of the relationship of humans to the environment and the ever-evolving nature of becoming; and the changing nature of audience?s engagement with film.
