内容简介
······
At a time when what it means to watch movies keeps changing, this book offers a case study that rethinks the institutional, ideological, and cultural role of film exhibition, demonstrating that film exhibition can produce meaning in itself apart from the films being shown. Cinema Off Screen elaborates on the idea that cinema takes place off screen as much as on screen by exploring film exhibition in China from the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949 to the end of the Cold War in the early 1990s. Drawing on original archival research, interviews, and audience recollections, Cinema Off Screen decenters the filmic text and offers a study of institutional operations and lived experiences. Chenshu Zhou details how the screening space, media technology, and the human body mediate encounters with cinema in ways that have not been fully recognized, opening new conceptual avenues for rethinking the ever-changing institution of cinema.

作者希望用中国的案例冲击国外电影史的一种“电影以电影院为载体”的叙事，其背后的理论框架大量引用Casetti和John Durham Peters，强调于放映员和观众的体验, 主要仍注重农村放映中的“交互性”。第一章写新中国电影发行放映的发展。第二章转入放映员构成的“没有基础设施” “邮政形式”的放映网，作者强调了放映员的身体技术以及国家赋予的正面形象（与陆小宁的研究有部分重合，异曲同工）。第三…
前半本书基于档案讨论电影放映队的空间扩张、放映员的劳动、以及non-theater电影放映的多重作用，后半本基于口述和回忆录探讨露天放映的独特氛围（“看热闹”）、对torture的迥异体验、以及观众与露天放映屏幕的多重互动，感觉其实后半本更有趣些。稍觉不满的是书中有的断裂：前半本和后半本多少存在一些断裂，socialism和postsocialism的关系没有被讲得很清楚，作者想要挑战西方电影理论…
cinema as a system of interfaces；theoretical ambition有，但可惜并没做到；socialism和postsocialism这组关系讨论得太浅了
集体放映中的看热闹
