Book Presentation:
Using cine-ethnomusicology as a focus, Cineworlding introduces readers to ways of thinking eco-cinematically. Screens are omnipresent, we carry digital cinema production equipment in our pockets, but this screen-based technological revolution has barely impacted social science scholarship. Mixing existential phenomenological fiction about social science digital cinema research practice followed by theoretical reflection and discussion of methods, this book has emerged from a decade-long inquiry into cineworlding and a desire to help others produce digital media to engage creatively with the digital networks that surround us.
About the Author:
Though he does have a beard, Professor MacDonald is not a tweed suit wearing dour academic, rather his passion for cinema and music has led him to the streets, showcasing the hardscrabble life of artists attempting to win fans one gig at a time.” CKUA radio, Alberta Michael B.

His films have been screened in more than 50 film festivals and he has won documentary and experimental film awards.

Press Reviews:
"CineWorlding is a deep dive into MacDonald's highly original approach to digital audiovisual filmmaking and perhaps the most nuanced articulation of research-creation yet to come out of music studies. Ethnomusicology is exploding. CineWorlding throws fuel on the flames and offers exciting new critical pathways for scholars and students." ―Ellen Waterman, Professor, Helmut Kallmann Chair for Music in Canada, and Director, Research Centre for Music, Sound, and Society in Canada, Carleton University, Canada
"Don't try to contain it, or sequester it in a discipline, or organize it into a method. CineWorlding is more-than making a film, it is the very making-thinking worlding calls for when it becomes cinematic. More-than human, more-than sited, cineworlding is a practice that must be experimented to do its work. It is neither your work alone, nor mine. It is what occurs in the interstices, in the ecotone 'where individual ecologies, digital cinema technology ecosystem, ethnographic research ecosystem, philosophy ecosystem, cinematic art ecosystem interfere/entangle/interpenetrate each other to produce a rich ecological zone where new complex beings proliferate.' Take cineworlding as a lure and move it into your pedagogical practices. Make it a technique, and be made by it." ―Erin Manning, Professor of Studio Arts and Cinema, Concordia University, Canada
"With CineWorlding, musician, ethnographer and filmmaker Michael MacDonald poetically demonstrates how the cinematic medium creates new forms of thinking, knowing, and experiencing the audio-visual world we increasingly inhabit." ―Christopher Salter, Professor of Immersive Arts, Zurich University of the Arts, Switzerland
