Cinematic Intermediality

Together, these chapters succeed in updating the field of artistic intermediality on several fronts, pertinently adding to the ongoing theoretical debate and the empirical case studies available. This is undeniably a must-read book for that reason alone. […] a fundamental overview of cinema’s performative dimension.–Fátima Chinita “Intermediality: A Performative Approach”This book adds significantly to our understanding of the histories, theories, and practices of cinematic intermediality. It includes exquisite explorations of filmic works, and offers a space for filmmakers to describe their intermedial engagements and fascinations. At a moment where the definition of film is in transformation, this volume of essays reminds us that the ontology of film has always been in mutually productive conversation with other art forms, enriching and being enriched by that which both solidifies and sets into movement its medium specificity.–Lucia Ruprecht, University of Cambridge
