Cinema changed rapidly in the first quarter of the century. Unprecedented advances in computer graphics paved the way for the advent of neural networks, streaming shifted attention to the small screen, and the geography of filmmaking was transformed. Mainstream heroes and faces changed, and some stars achieved immortality. Contrary to some predictions, big-time cinema hasn't died—it seems even more alive and beloved now than at the end of the last century. The two-volume "Séance" collection collects stories about films, written both immediately afterward and today, with hindsight. They explore plots, trends, context, and, of course, the filmmakers who found a way to express time through the fickle and timeless medium of cinema.

The first book includes texts about films from 2001–2015. The second book includes texts about films from 2016–2025, as well as analytical articles and essays on contemporary filmmaking.
