The Moving Image: A User’s Manual

An educator, publisher, and producer, MIT’s Peter Kaufman joins us for a book signing and free conversation about his new publication The Moving Image: A User’s Manual (MIT Press). Video is today’s most popular information medium. Two-thirds of the world’s internet traffic is video. Americans get their news and information more often from screens and speakers than through any other means. The Moving Image delves into how we have arrived here, offering the first definitive manual to help writers, educators, and publishers use video more effectively. Drawing on decades of experience, Kaufman presents new tools, best practices, and community resources for integrating film and sound into media that matters.

The conversation will be moderated by Museum of the Moving Image’s Executive Director Aziz Isham. Books will be available for purchase at the Museum’s gift shop.
