Post-Scarcity Cinema: Writings on AI Film Theory
(The New Machine Cinema, Vol. 2)
In 2025 Hooroo Jackson shattered precedent—again—by releasing A Very Long Carriage Ride, the first feature film ever launched in two completely different styles simultaneously, marking the first AI stop-motion animated feature film, and the first classic-style AI animated feature film ever made.
Post-Scarcity Cinema is the theoretical engine powering that leap. Picking up where the landmark volume The New Machine Cinema: Foundations in AI Film Theory left off, Jackson drills deeper into what filmmaking looks like when budgets, crews, and old-guard gatekeepers no longer define what is possible.
Across nine razor-sharp essays he maps the horizons of a cinema unchained:
Fusing practitioner grit with radical theory, Jackson argues that AI filmmaking is not a subgenre of cinema, it is a brand new artform surpassing the invention of the camera itself. Post-Scarcity Cinema is the field guide for directors, critics, and futurists ready to build where the old maps end.
