Abstract

This review essay examines three new titles - Shadow Economies of Cinema, Digital Disruption, and Screen Dynamics - that add to the canon of work on how the digitalisation of film and the plethora of new technologies and associated innovations have impacted on the discipline of film studies. What the three titles demonstrate well is the current fluctuation occurring within film studies, as scholars attempt to articulate and make sense of the changes occurring within the discipline in this contemporary era of media convergence.
