With the advent of digital filmmaking and critical recognition of the relevance of self expression, first-person narratives, and personal practices of memorialization, interest in the amateur moving image has never been stronger.

With contributions on the role of the archive, on You Tube, and on the impact of new technologies on amateur filmmaking, these essays offer the first comprehensive examination of this growing field.
