Film Criticism in the Digital Age by Mattias Frey
Over the past decade, as digital media has expanded and print outlets have declined, pundits have bemoaned a crisis of criticism and mourned the death of the critic. In Film Criticism in the Digital Age, ten scholars from across the globe come together to consider whether we are witnessing the extinction of serious film criticism or seeing the start of its rebirth in a new form.
"Frey and Sayad assemble both academic and popular analyses on the dearth – perhaps death – of the working film critic, caught up and rubbed out in the brave new World Wide Web of bottomless blogs and 14-character tweetsRefusing a simplistic 'thumbs up/thumbs down' approach, this useful if fitful anthology merits several stars." * Journal of Film and Video *
"Offers such distinguished critics as Armond White and Nick James a chance to weight in on the need for informed, responsible film criticism in the digital era… Highly recommended." * Choice *
"This is a great and highly important volume for film studies as a discipline and cultural and media studies more generally." -- Dana Polan * New York University *
