Cine y audiovisual. Trayectos de ida y vuelta

In the last decades the three actors that have intervened in the cinematographic event - industry, creatives and receivers - have undergone substantial changes. Everything has been transformed, production systems, ways of seeing and the supports. As a result, the seventh art no longer occupies the media centrality that enjoyed time ago. And not only that, but since the last century is predicting the death of cinema. However, far from disappearing, the seventh art resists thanks to its adaptability that inevitably implies a profound transformation of its own environment. The works that make up this book allow us to observe the power and vitality that the seventh art continues to maintain in the context of the generic magma of audiovisual products. At the same time, they show how through the experimentation and ingenuity of the young filmmakers, cinema seems to be starting a journey back, not so much back to the origins as in search of its own differential essence. This is precisely what is demanded by a society saturated with repetitive products that depend on market demand.
