Gerry Fialka hosts AAFF alumni interconnecting their favorite films with past and current times. Survey meta-influencers nurturing community and new ways to view film. Dive into how AAFF shape behavior. Probe the hidden psychic effects and how kinetic/visual/sonic modalities mirror and echo the simplex simultaneity in cinema. Examine sense ratio shifting with James Joyce’s epiphany that technologies are analogical mirrors of our biological process. Reimagine McLuhan’s precepts as detailed by Marchessault: “The New Media offer freedom of movements, of creative thought and aesthetic perceptions that previous visual regimes did not. These portend an opening rather than a closing of different forms of engagement and interactivity.”
