<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><i>Scratches and Glitches</i> is a collection of essays that attempt to make sense of the changes-in-progress in the domain of preserving and exhibiting film in the early the twenty-first century in the wider context of cultural history, focusing on the responsibility of film archives and museums as guardians of film heritage.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A quick succession of changes - some entirely expected, some less so - has drastically reshaped the domain of preserving and exhibiting film heritage in the first two decades of the 21st century. Film production, exhibition, restoration and reflection became predominantly, almost exclusively digital affairs. Professional profiles became obsolete and new ones have emerged. Other forms of art and entertainment took the center stage of collective dreams and discussions. The principles of curatorship clashed with the idea of access. Streaming took over the world as the predominant way of experiencing moving images and private space trumped public space as the primary site of these experiences. <i>Scratches and Glitches</i> is a collection of essays that attempt to make sense of these changes-in-progress in the wider context of cultural history, focusing on the responsibility of film archives and museums, guardians of film heritage.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Had I been 18 years old when first reading this book, I would have embraced film curatorship as my preferred tool for political activism. Instead, I can only read one chapter each day, start all over again when I'm finished, and tell everyone that cinema can still change your life. With his blend of ethical drive, razor-sharp logic and understated humor, Jurij Meden has given us a cultural manifesto and a jargon-free guide to the difficult art of seeing. Up, spectators, to arms! This is an act of civil disobedience of the highest order.--Paolo Cherchi Usai, film curator and historian<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jurij Meden is a curator at the Austrian Film Museum in Vienna.
