At a time when perhaps the central concern of cinema and media studies involves how to approach screen practices as environmental phenomena shaped by shifting technologies, Practices of Projection: Histories and Technologies offers a rich array of perspectives on how such inquiries might proceed. Across the book's fifteen contributions, the until-now undertheorized and underhistoricized technique of projection comes into relief as a vast and differentiated
field of creative and technical possibility.
