Beschreibung
This paper explores the effect of the “Gulliverisation” (to paragraphrase Erkki Huhtamo’s evocative expression) of the film image, as an effect of the proliferation of small screens, and, in turn, as mobile phones in particular progressively become a visual motif in films, the appearance of their diminutive frames on larger screens. Whereas the so-called “relocation” (Casetti and Sampietro) of the cinema to non-cinematic viewing devices is usually discussed primarily in terms of the operational properties of such devices, this paper is interested in the aesthetic impact, and indeed, the specific attraction, of miniaturization, and of the superimposition of the very small with the large scale moving image.
