Cinema and Technology is an English-language book series edited by Santiago Hidalgo and Katharina Loew published by Amsterdam University Press. This series focuses on the emerging field of the history of film technology and its impact on the way the world is experienced, rationalized and apprehended. The materiality and nature of film devices, their function and use in diverse industrial, educational and social contexts, and the integration of film technologies as an enduring element of consciousness form the basis of the scholarship presented in these books.
"Cinema and Technology" is a French-language collection of the Presses de l'Université de Montréal under the direction of Richard Bégin, André Gaudreault and Santiago Hidalgo. The collection focuses on the new field of knowledge that is interested in the broader history of film technologies and the influence of different film techniques on the way we apprehend and perceive the world. The study of cinematic devices, their functions and uses in different contexts (industrial, artistic, pedagogical and social) and their integration into an ecology of audiovisual mediation forms the basis of the research presented in the books of the series.
