Abstract

The establishment of digital technology has led cinema to an identity crisis. Digital content questions the modes of production, distribution and consumption of institutional or classical cinema. Hence, some authors have proclaimed the death of cinema as it has been known throughout the twentieth century. Thus, this article discusses the theoretical scopes that imply on the acceptance of this identity crisis. Classic concepts of cinema are revisited in the light of the digital cinema breakthrough.
