Description de l'ouvrage :
A quick succession of changes – some entirely expected, some less so – has drastically reshaped the domain of preserving and exhibiting film heritage in the first two decades of the 21st century. Film production, exhibition, restoration and reflection became predominantly, almost exclusively digital affairs. Professional profiles became obsolete and new ones have emerged. Other forms of art and entertainment took the center stage of collective dreams and discussions. The principles of curatorship clashed with the idea of access. Streaming took over the world as the predominant way of experiencing moving images and private space trumped public space as the primary site of these experiences. Scratches and Glitches is a collection of essays that attempt to make sense of these changes-in-progress in the wider context of cultural history, focusing on the responsibility of film archives and museums, guardians of film heritage.

Revue de Presse :
Deceptively slight, refreshingly modest, and more entertaining than a book of cultural theory has any right to be. Jared Rapfogel, Cineaste
In Scratches and Glitches, [Meden] is . . . taking the occasion . . . to think of film, all film, as its physical traces, as a continuum of varied sensations, ideas, impressions all churning together in a single flow. Christopher Small, Mubi
Scratches and Glitches subverts expectation. The Film Stage
Scratches and Glitches is an urgently important and fun book. Adrian Martin, Ubiquarian
This book is eclectic. Journal of Film Preservation
Had I been 18 years old when first reading this book, I would have embraced film curatorship as my preferred tool for political activism. Instead, I can only read one chapter each day, start all over again when I’m finished, and tell everyone that cinema can still change your life. With his blend of ethical drive, razor-sharp logic and understated humor, Jurij Meden has given us a cultural manifesto and a jargon-free guide to the difficult art of seeing. Up, spectators, to arms! This is an act of civil disobedience of the highest order. Paolo Cherchi Usai, film curator and historian
