Cinephilic Fandom

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

Using Luca Guadagnino’s 2017 film Call Me by Your Name as a case study, this essay investigates the phenomena of cinephilic fandom and cinephilic fan art. It argues that cinephilic fandom represents a specific form of film spectatorship, characterized by an engagement with cinephilic debates through practices that are usually associated with fandom. Cinephilic fan art is defined as the drawings, videos, and self-made merchandise that are inspired by “cinephiliac moments.” As such, this essay argues, cinephilic fandom has the potential to introduce new voices, practices, and interpretations into debates of cinephilia.
