Ideologies of the Real in Title Sequences, Motion Graphics and Cinema by Michael Betancourt

Ideologies of the Real in Title Sequences, Motion Graphics and Cinema by Michael Betancourt

Using a series of highly detailed close readings of title designs through the interpretive lens of theories of cinematic realism, this book engages with issues of indexicality, narrative, and the difference between subjective and objective presentations, using examples of title sequences from historical film and contemporary digital cinema.

Michael Betancourt is a research artist/theorist concerned with digital technology and capitalist ideology. His writing has been translated into Chinese, French, German, Greek, Italian, Persian, Portuguese, and Spanish, and published in journals such as The Atlantic, Make Magazine, CTheory, and Leonardo. He is the author of The ____________ Manifesto, and books such as The History of Motion Graphics and The Critique of Digital Capitalism, as well as three books on the semiotics of motion graphics: Semiotics and Title Sequences, Synchronization and Title Sequences, and Title Sequences as Paratexts. These publications complement his movies, which have screened internationally at the Black Maria Film Festival, Art Basel Miami Beach, Contemporary Art Ruhr, Athens Video Art Festival, Festival des Cinemas Differents de Paris, Anthology Film Archives, Millennium Film Workshop, the San Francisco Cinematheque’s Crossroads, and Experiments in Cinema, among many others.
