<font face="Verdana">Over the past thirty years modes and methods of film viewing have altered dramatically. This has been driven by two key factors –digital technologies that have made films more accessible and more mobile, and the rise of large multi-screen
cinema complexes and boutique film theatres that have changed the experience of public movie-going. The expanding scope and scale of contemporary film viewing has been relatively well documented from an economic perspective, where industry tracking means annual
growth and fluctuations can be measured and reported. We know<span lang="EN-GB">,</span> for example<span lang="EN-GB">, that </span>DVD and Blu-ray sales have<span lang="EN-GB"> been</span><span lang="PT"> outstripp</span><span lang="EN-GB">ing</span> box
office revenue for some <span lang="EN-GB">time</span> and that online streaming looks <span lang="EN-GB">is predicted to eclipse sales of physical discs within the next few years. </span>However, relatively little is understood about how the social and cultural
contexts of movie watching have changed (or not) in response to these rapid shifts in<span lang="EN-GB"> the modes of </span>consumption<span lang="EN-GB">. </span>Comprehending the varied and flexible contexts of contemporary film consumption is crucial to
informing debate about its perceived uncertain place in the creative industries and Australian national culture more generally.</font></p>

<font face="Verdana">This paper will explore the theoretical and methodological challenges for understanding contemporary film viewing across the increasingly diverse spectrum of device, format and physical location<span lang="EN-GB">. In particular it will
focus on the important, but currently neglected, connections between film and the expanding field of digital media research.</span><span style="font-weight: 700;"></span></font></p>
