/Digital Film and Television Culture/introduces a new framework for the 
aesthetic and cultural analysis of contemporary film and serial drama, 
stars on social media and movie awards shows. It examines contemporary 
digital media culture with four specific case studies, their cultural 
contexts and how audiences engage with them online.

Drawing on two perspectives – the/digital media circuit/and the/expanded 
cultural forum///– as frameworks for the analysis, this book explores 
the complexity of film and television culture in the digital age. The 
analysis encompasses films with experimental storytelling techniques, 
from blockbusters to art films, coming-of-age serial drama as hybrid 
genre, the visual identity narratives of movie stars on social media and 
the broadcast movie awards as a cultural authority in the era of 
streaming. The book offers in-depth case studies of/Everything 
Everywhere All at Once/,/Stranger Things/, the performance of Zendaya 
and Timothée Chalamet on Instagram and the Academy Awards Ceremony as 
live media event genre. Each chapter includes a genre analysis, an 
examination of the cultural context and a/micro-study/of how audiences 
engage on Letterboxd, Reddit or other social media.

This timely, cross-disciplinary book is essential reading for students 
and scholars in film, media, cultural studies, celebrity and digital 
cultures and for anyone interested in contemporary film and television 
culture.

Critics Reviews:

"The contemporary experience of film and television with extensions via 
social media interactions, is one that calls for an integrated approach 
to analysis. Through four thoughtfully selected and intricately analyzed 
case studies,/Digital Film and Television Culture/ presents us with a 
new framework capable of handling the complexity of digital film and 
television culture today. A must have resource for all serious media, 
celebrity, and cultural studies scholars."

-*Celia Lam*,///University of Nottingham Ningbo China/

"The transformation of film and television in the last 20 years is 
analysed comprehensively and valuably in this book/Digital Film and 
Television Culture: From Hollywood to Social Media/. It effectively 
identifies the digital effects that have shifted our relationship to 
film and our wider interpretation of film and its reconstruction of what 
can be defined as “audiences”. Better and beyond any previous 
investigations, Helle Kannik Haastrup captures the way that film stardom 
and celebrity is connected to its past, but profoundly reconfigured in 
its integration of social media being the predominant way that ideas, 
promotions and formations of influence, influencers and advertising move 
through our contemporary entertainment economy."

- *David Marshall*, /Emeritus Professor, Deakin University/
