An afterimage is what lingers on the retina after the light is gone. A trace, a memory, a shift in perception. In cinema, it’s the ghost of a frame that stays with you long after the credits roll.
At Afterimage, we explore that lingering effect. We believe the most powerful films don’t just entertain; they imprint themselves on our minds, sparking conversations that last a lifetime. Our approach is one of slow criticism—a space where contemplation and inquiry take precedence over immediate verdicts.
Our writing delves into the philosophy, aesthetics, and hidden currents of cinema. We are a collective of cultural journalists, philosophers, and dialogue facilitators united by a conviction that film is a profound way of thinking about the world and ourselves. Through essays, reviews, and translations, we aim to watch thoughtfully and engage with films as works of art.
We invite you to slow down, look closer, and discover the lasting resonance of the moving image with us.
