Reviews and Features
"Performing Moving Images is the newest book from the acclaimed Framing Film series, published by Eye Filmmuseum and Amsterdam University Press. [...] This book will be hugely valuable to anyone with a keen interest in discovering more about how films emerge from archives to appear before an audience." - Helen de Witt, FIAF Journal of Film Preservation, April 2021

Performing Moving Images
Access, Archives and Affects
Performing Moving Images: Access, Archive and Affects presents institutions, individuals and networks who have ensured experimental films and Expanded Cinema of the 1960s and 1970s are not consigned to oblivion. Through a comparison of recent international case studies from festivals, museums, and gallery spaces, the book analyzes their new contexts, and describes the affective reception of those events. The study asks: what is the relationship between an aesthetic experience and memory at the point where film archives, cinema, and exhibition practices intersect? What can we learn from re-screenings, re-enactments, and found footage works, that are using archival material? How does the affective experience of the images, sounds and music resonate today? Performing Moving Images: Access, Archive and Affects proposes a theoretical framework from the perspective of the performative practice of programming, curating, and reconstructing, bringing in insights from original interviews with cultural agents together with an interdisciplinary academic discourse.
