Cinema, the digital and multi-screens in Quebec. Empirical and reflexive considerations
Over the last few years, the cinematographic field has undergone major transformations, notably in terms of the distribution of films. These technological changes must be well understood and, above all, located in their specific cultural, social, economic and political contexts, while avoiding any form of technological determinism. This article explores these questions by discussing cinema in the era of digital platforms and multi-screens as a means to shed light on certain evolutions at work. Empirical examples are presented from the film industry in Quebec and its relations to other national and international actors.
