The New Cinephilia (Kino-Agora)

Cinephilia has recently experienced a powerful resurgence, one enabled by new media technologies of the digital age. Today’s “new cinephilia” shares with the cinephilia of the 1950s a robust sociability which these new technologies have facilitated. Cinephilic practice today—viewing, thinking, reading and writing about films—is marked by an unprecedented amount of social interaction, made possible by dramatically lower economic barriers to publication through the internet, giving rise to new hybrid forms and outlets of cinephilic writing that draw freely from scholarly, journalistic and literary models.
