The advent of cinema coincided with the rise of modernism in the arts; yet the fields of film studies and modernist studies have generated their own genealogies of the modern grounded in different, sometimes conflicting theoretical and historical traditions. Building on this interdisciplinary foundation, the Film Studies Special Interest Group explores the history and theory of cinema through its interconnections with other media while remaining anchored in the aesthetics of moving images and the generic specificity of film art.
