Book Synopsis
Cinephiles have regularly fetishized contingent, marginal details in the motion picture image. This title demonstrates that the spectatorial tendency that produces such cinematic encountersoa viewing practice marked by a drift in visual attention away from the primary visual elements on display - in fact has clear links to the origins of film.
