Film and cinema--media historically intertwined with the city--have likewise undergone a profound transformation in its modes of representation and visual culture since the late 1980s. Today, filmmakers, photographers, and radical artists investigate the distant landscapes and territories of extended urbanization in all its forms. Films like \u003ci\u003eBehemoth\u003c\/i\u003e (Zhao Liang, 2015), \u003ci\u003eHomo Urbanus\u003c\/i\u003e (Ila Bêka \u0026amp; Louise Lemoine, 2017), and \u003ci\u003eLeviathan\u003c\/i\u003e (Lucien Castaing-Taylor \u0026amp; Véréna Paravel, 2012) exemplify this genre. But how do cinema and the city mutually shape each other? This book stages an encounter between film and the theory of planetary urbanization by deploying the notion of the Sensoriums of Planetary Urbanization. It offers a deep analysis of the multifaceted experiences of urban life--within and beyond the city.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith contributions by Adam Jasper, Assel Kadyrkhanova, Mosè Cometta, Jacqueline Maurer, Lorenzo Tripodi, Sofie Stilling, S ren Nielsen and Hans Teerds, Fred Truniger, Anne Romme, Emil Hvelplund Kristiansen, Junia Cambraia Mortimer, Roberto Luís Monte-Mór, Rosa Barba, J.P.
