<div>"<i>Expanded cinema</i> is an elastic name for many sorts of
film and projection event. It is notoriously difficult to pin down or
define. At full stretch, it embraces the most contradictory dimensions
of film and video art, from the vividly spectacular to the starkly
materialist. Stan VanDerBeek's synthetic multimedia Movie-Drome of the
1960s, for example, is in high contrast to the analytic and primal
cinema of 1970s Filmaktion screenings in the UK. Some kinds of
expanded cinema widen the field of vision so far that they dissolve
cinema itself as a separate entity, merging it into cybernetic space,
as envisaged in<b> Gene Youngblood's seminal book of 1970</b> or in
Carolee Schneemann's manifesto-like performance scripts of the same
era. Other variants seek film's ontology in the medium's simplest
elements, such as the projector lightbeam or the bare bulb. In
'paracinema', the notion of the film medium is itself questioned, and
the cinematic is sought outside or beyond the film machine."
