Introduces the concept of the "intensive-image" to develop a deeper understanding of the part played by intensity in the history of the cinematic image
This book argues that the intensive-image constitutes an important cinematic category that prompts a rethinking of Deleuze’s taxonomy of images in his Cinema 1: The Movement-Image and Cinema 2: The Time-Image. Escobar explores the proposition that the notion of intensity has the potential to change the way in which we think about Deleuze’s classification of films as signifying two separate periods, the classical period of the movement-image and the modern period of the time-image, thereby bringing them together and overcoming the separation that the philosopher creates. This book also explores the ways in which the intensive-image varies and differentiates itself from other images and the role it plays in contemporary cinema.

Cristóbal Escobar is a Lecturer in Screen Studies at the University of Melbourne, Film Programmer at FIDOCS and Co-Founder of the Screening Ideas program.
