- Summary:
- Leading scholars in the interdisciplinary field of geospatial visual studies examine the social experience of cinema and the different ways in which film-production developed as a commercial enterprise, as a leisure activity, and as modes of expression and communication. Their research charts new pathways in mapping the relationship between film production and local film practices, and theatrical exhibition circuits and cinemagoing, creating new forms of spatial anthropology. Topics include cinematic practices in rural and urban communities, development of cinema by amateur filmmakers, and use of geographical information systems (GIS) in mapping the spatial development of film production and cinemagoing as social practices.
