This edited collection proposes new directions for understanding cinematic intermediality, mapping out innovative approaches to film's relationship with some of its most influential artistic predecessors in the fields of performance, sculpture, painting, photography and dance. With essays by leading researchers and practitioners, this book investigates cinema's productive synergies and crossovers with the other arts through a broad range of avant-garde and experimental work. Mapping a trajectory from pre-cinema to the digital era, the book considers the impact of technological materiality on intermedial expression, incorporating both mainstream and experimental practice, world cinema and peripheral cinemas. Bridging the gap between theory and practice, it opens up new pathways for thinking about how intermediality, as both a creative method and an interpretative paradigm, might be explored alongside probing questions of what cinema is, has been and can be.

This book adds significantly to our understanding of the histories, theories, and practices of cinematic intermediality. It includes exquisite explorations of filmic works, and offers a space for filmmakers to describe their intermedial engagements and fascinations. At a moment where the definition of film is in transformation, this volume of essays reminds us that the ontology of film has always been in mutually productive conversation with other art forms, enriching and being enriched by that which both solidifies and sets into movement its medium specificity.
