Episode 14: Is Film Dead?

Kim, Laura, and Ziwei talk about the film versus digital debate (what is it? What does it mean? Does it matter?) and whether the idea of the "virtual" is brand-new or centuries old.

 

Media Literate is a collaborative podcast produced by Colton Elzey, Sebastian Wurzrainer, Laura Broman, Kim Henry, and Julia Rose Camus. This episode was edited by Ann Zhang. Our theme music is Soft Feeling by Cheel, and our logo was created by Julia.
