Rok vydání: 2025
Sbírka: OpenEdition
Témata: Experimental film, Mockumentary, Genre Cinema, Impurity, Glitch, Corporeality
Popis: Starting from the corruption of micro constituents (cellulose and pixels) to that of the human figure (the filmed body or macro level of representation), and concluding with the meta-level and the aesthetic impurity of the medium of film itself, this article looks at the ways in which corruption in film manifests itself, at one and the same time, through the material and the symbolic, the micro and macro levels. Doing so, corruption emerges unexpectedly as a connecting principle that runs through the entire spectrum of film production, from the most experimental to commercial and genre cinema. What transpires, in such an outlook, is the extent of the transgressive and productive power unleashed by forms of corruption that affect film at all levels of its existence and appearance.

Popis
Abstrakt:Starting from the corruption of micro constituents (cellulose and pixels) to that of the human figure (the filmed body or macro level of representation), and concluding with the meta-level and the aesthetic impurity of the medium of film itself, this article looks at the ways in which corruption in film manifests itself, at one and the same time, through the material and the symbolic, the micro and macro levels. Doing so, corruption emerges unexpectedly as a connecting principle that runs through the entire spectrum of film production, from the most experimental to commercial and genre cinema. What transpires, in such an outlook, is the extent of the transgressive and productive power unleashed by forms of corruption that affect film at all levels of its existence and appearance.
