About
Bruce Bennett is a leading scholar in film and media studies, with a particular focus on the intersections of cinema, technology, and cultural theory. His work critically examines how technological formats and industrial practices shape film culture, from exhibition to digital distribution. His most cited publication, the co-edited volume *Cinema and Technology: Cultures, Theories, Practices* (2008), has garnered 37 citations and stands as a key resource in the field. In this collection, Bennett and his co-editors bring together essays that challenge deterministic views of technology, exploring topics such as the politics of 16mm exhibition in Canada and the emergence of early web cinema. Bennett’s own contributions to the volume underscore his commitment to situating technological change within broader cultural and economic contexts. Through his research, he has helped to reframe the study of film technology not as a neutral tool but as a site of contested practices and power relations. His work is essential reading for students and scholars interested in media archaeology, film history, and the cultural dynamics of technological innovation.
