Examines punk as a movement. This book contains descriptions of the sounds, and places those sounds in the context of history.

With a new introduction and new material, this updated edition takes a fresh look at the historical and contemporary state of digital cinema. It pays special attention to the ways in which nostalgia for the look and feel of analogue disrupts the aesthetics of the digital image, as well as how recent films such as The Social Network (2010) and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) - both shot digitally - have disguised and erased their digital foundations. The book also explores new possibilities for writing about and theorizing film, such as randomization.
