New Intimate Cinema Spaces

Tuesday 24th October, 5pm - 7.30pm

***Please note this seminar will be held at Maquarie Campus
Room T3 (Theatre 3), E7B Building<https://wordpress.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=874f88bf15b1c1cd4ee175472&id=6a81e2bbdc&e=bd521d017c>

The majority of cinematic and television scholarship on alternative viewing platforms, and the viewers’ experience or reception across alternate mediums and spatial contexts, has a tendency to elevate the traditional public cinema as the optimal way to be properly ‘engaged’ in a film. Alternative mediums are deemed to offer lower quality aesthetics as well as an environment of distractions that disturb the film experience. This tendency has lead to a dissonance between scholarship and contemporary viewing habits which has been exaggerated further in recent years due to the rapid rate of digital technological change. Audiences (or, more accurately, ‘users’) today are engaging with audiovisual narratives in innumerable ways. They may choose to attend a blockbuster in IMAX 4K 3D in reclining-seats at the multiplex, binge-watch the latest Netflix series at home with friends, or stream YouTube videos on a smartphone on the train. My research argues for the recognition and scholarly validation of these new forms of ‘cinema’, in relation to both their spaces and texts. I propose a new method of analysis, using Edward T. Hall’s Proxemic theory, that better reflects the vast array of new viewing spaces available and their implications on viewer reception.


Rebecca Lelli is a Masters of Research candidate at Macquarie University. Her research interests are how new ‘intimate cinemas’ on personal-digital-devices are changing the ways LGBTQIA+ youth engage with queer narrative texts and how this is shaping contemporary queer politics and activism. rebecca.lelli at students.mq.edu.au<mailto:rebecca.lelli at students.mq.edu.au>

Directions: This seminar will be held at Macquarie University. Room T3 (Theatre 3), E7B Building<https://wordpress.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=874f88bf15b1c1cd4ee175472&id=ac9d65056b&e=bd521d017c>

Due to extensive construction work on campus, there may be some confusion regarding directions - but do not fear, Macquarie is a small campus. The best place to park is in the South or East carparks. (The south is easier to access, near the library). If you are coming from Macquarie University Station - refer the directions on the map (http://www.mq.edu.au/about/contacts-and-maps/maps<https://wordpress.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=874f88bf15b1c1cd4ee175472&id=efa45f1c02&e=bd521d017c>). If you have parked near the W or X building at the other end of campus, simply follow Wally's Walk through the campus and you will arrive at E7B. E7B is a large multi-story complex, which has recently undergone renovations. The theatre is Theatre 3 on the ground floor.



Refreshments will be served during the seminar. All are welcome.
