BLANCO PEREZ, Manuel. Cinema and transdiscursive semiotics. Digital cinema in the multiscreen era: a new environment, a new spectator. Comun. soc [online]. 2021, vol.18, e7886.  Epub 04-Out-2021. ISSN 0188-252X.  https://doi.org/10.32870/cys.v2021.7886.

In recent years, a new cinematic environment has been taking shape, where the act of watching a film in a cinema had already been articulated as a minor commercial element within the film industry. But this trend, with the arrival of COVID-19 and the ban on commercial cinemas, was accelerated, generating the new multi-screen cinema: which has dominated the international scene in 2020, the first quarter of 2021, and which has introduced changes that will no longer be reversible. This may lead us to question whether we are still talking about cinema, in the sense it has been given since its invention.
