French critic and composer Michel Chion argues that watching movies is more than just a visual exerciseit enacts a process of audioviewing. The audiovisual makes use of a wealth of tropes, devices, techniques, and effects that convert multiple sensations into image and sound, therefore rendering, instead of reproducing, the world through cinema.The first half of Film, a Sound Art considers developments in technology, aesthetic trends, and individual artistic style that recast the history of film as the evolution of a truly audiovisual language. The second half explores the intersection of auditory and visual realms. With restless inventiveness, Chion develops a rhetoric that describes the effects of audiovisual combinations, forcing us to rethink sound film. He claims, for example, that the silent era (which he terms deaf cinema) did not end with the advent of sound technology but continues to function underneath and within later films. Expanding our appreciation of cinematic experiences ranging from Dolby multitrack in action films and the eerie tricycle of Stanley Kubricks The Shining to the way actors from different nations use their voices and words, Film, a Sound Art showcases the vast knowledge and innovative thinking of a major theorist.

The 'Film and Culture' series had some interesting segments, but I felt a few episodes could have gone deeper into their topics. It’s a decent watch, just don't expect too much detail. Still worth checking out if you're a film buff!

I just finished watching 'Film and Culture' from the series, and it was a fantastic experience! The discussions were deep and thought-provoking, really shedding light on the nuances of sound in film. I’ll definitely be looking for more titles in this collection.
