Children Reinventing Cinema: Snapshots from the Early 21st Century - Paperback

by Alexandra Schneider (Author), Wanda Strauven (Author)

Children today discover a new digital drawing tool, the camera-crayon, at a very young age. They appropriate devices such as compact cameras and mobile phones and make their own media artifacts in their play. Expanding on a media-archaeological approach to film history, this book maps children's playful and imaginative knowledge of contemporary media culture and explores their filmmaking practices that push the boundaries of forms and formats.
