The Death of Cinema: History, Cultural Memory, and the Digital Dark Age

Editorial Reviews
Times Literary Supplement
"It makes one rethink the history of film, what survives, what should be preserved, and to whom it belongs." --This text refers to the Library Binding edition.

Book Description
[Cherchi Usai] has drawn . . . the picture of a worldwide crisis that commands our unconditional concern. His portrait of a culture ignoring the loss of its own image is a devastating moral tale, the recognition that there is something very wrong with the way we are taught to disregard the art of seeing as something ephemeral and negligible. Martin Scorsese
