Although long defined as a temporal art, most famously by André Bazin and Andrei Tarkovsky, film has always been more fundamentally a spatiotemporal medium, transporting its viewers imaginatively to spaces and places other than those they literally inhabit.

The international authors in this collection address the history and aesthetics of screen media as spatial transposition, in a range of exemplary analyses that run from the landscapes of John Ford’s westerns to Chantal Akerman’s claustrophobic domestic spaces, from the conventions of the English country house film to Patrick Keiller’s Robinson roaming a changed country, and from the experiences of Covid pandemic confinement to those of un-homed van-dwellers in Chloe Zhao’s award-winning Nomadland.
