Such an approach is in part prompted by current debates about the obsolescence of cinema, be this obsolescence considered in strictly material terms – i.e. the imminent end of the film-based technology from which the medium derived its traditional definition – or from the (differently material) perspective of cinema as a socio-cultural practice, a mode of producing, circulating, and consuming moving images largely for and in the cinema theatre.engKinoFilmEntropieAbfallcinemaentropywaste79110.5117/NECSUS2013.2.NARD10.25969/mediarep/150992213-0217
