Course Site for Future Cinema 1 (and sometimes Future Cinema 2: Applied Theory) at York University, Canada
This has got to be one of the most amazing iPhone apps I’ve seen – it really begins to explore the mobile device as an interactive controller in ways that far surpass the “SMS to Screen” gag. Apparently he’s having issues releasing it to the general public because the logo infringes on an Apple trademark – I imagine that they’ll sort this out soon.

This course examines the shift from traditional cinematic spectacle to works probing the frontiers of interactive, performative, and networked media. Drawing upon a broad range of scholarship, including film theory, communication studies, cultural studies and new media theory, the course will consider how digital technologies are transforming the semiotic fabric of contemporary visual culture. Our focus will be on the phenomenon Gene Youngblood described three decades ago as expanded cinema an explosion of the frame outward towards immersive, interactive and interconnected (i.e., environmental) forms of culture.
