Autonomy And Time (Alessandro D'Aloia)

Latest thesis added to the Library page of Unspoken Cinema: "How does time affect the audience of the moving image? This thesis reimagines a question first posed by film philosopher Gilles Deleuze in Cinema 2: The Time-Image, a question Deleuze attributes to Martin Heidegger and Antonin Artaud: what is it about the moving image that forces us to think? [..] By exploring how time, rather than affect, shapes our interpretation of a given film, and how that interpretation is, in turn, shaped by the affective residue of past encounters, this thesis identifies a recursive relationship that forms the interpretive horizon through which cinematic meaning gradually emerges as part of an ongoing experience." "First Recap 1. The perspective of an individual, as reflected in Ciment’s characterisation of slowness, frames what I call a relative aestheticism, wherein the experience of time is shaped by our very own subjective viewpoint. 2. Slowness is a complex theoretical subject tha...

Slow Films and Life (Liminal Movie Project)

  What Slow Films Teach Us About Life (YouTube) 4'17" (Liminal Movie Project) 26 Oct 2025 "In a world of speed and distraction, slow cinema dares to take its time, to let life unfurl at its natural rhythm. From Tarkovsky’s long takes to Chantal Akerman’s stasis, from Béla Tarr’s endless rain to Wong Kar-wai’s yearning pauses — these directors are asking us not to see time pass but to feel it unfold. This essay examines how slow cinema transforms silence into emotion, stasis into animation, boredom into revelation. This outburst isn’t about story — it’s about presence. About the bits between the bits that give life its cinematic quality. If you’ve ever been told that “nothing happens” in a movie, this video is for you."

Perdre son temps (France Culture)

  France Culture : (Les tyrannies de l'urgence ; La philosophie à l'épreuve du temps) Prendre son temps, est-ce le perdre ? Podcast radio 58' (6 novembre 2025) "Et si la sieste était autre chose qu'une pause au service de la performance ? Et si la flânerie, attitude travaillée par de nombreux écrivains, était une vraie résistance contre les tyrannies modernes de l'urgence ? Avec :  Sébastien Spitzer, ecrivain, essayiste Catherine Nesci, professeure de littérature comparée et d'études françaises à l'université de Californie à Santa Barbara Jean Tain, agrégé et docteur en philosophie de l'École Normale Supérieure de Paris Il paraît que faire la sieste nous fait le plus grand bien, même si certains disent se réveiller dans un état peu agréable. Et puis, certains n’y arrivent tout simplement pas. Mais il est d’autres figures de résistance aux injonctions de vitesse que notre société nous envoie. D’autres contre-pieds à la tyrannie de l’urgence." ...
