interactive film and media journal

Interactivity is omnipresent. From cultural production (games, films, books), audience perception (streaming, virtual reality, real-time), intellectual publications (news, hypertexts, social media), and virtual world economy (cryptocurrency), we are witnessing a shift in all levels of cultural production. As a result, interactivity gains more space and conceptual independence with specific terminology, questions, promises, and challenges. Moreover, interactivity is growing as an academic discipline, field of study, and area of research in several spheres. Due to what can be diagnosed as deep mediatization--the ubiquity of media in every sphere of life--current modes of thought, behaviour, and culture are becoming increasingly interactive. The inclusion of interactivity in film and media marks a turning point contributing to the development of education and the epistemological repercussions in contemporary cultural practices, activism, and social engagement. https://journals.library.ryerson.ca/index.php/InteractiveFilmMedia/index
