'Expanded Cinema' by Gene Youngblood
A monumental book considering film/video and new technologies as an art form and how they effect consciousness and society. So relevant today with generative AI.

that’s something i love about watching old movies. they are a snapshot of the state-of-the-art technology that humans had in that moment

if you had to distill what you learned from reading this book into a film that shifted your perception of life,

what film is it?

I'm not sure I can answer that question. It's hard to say, but what I can say is that the book is like putting on a pair of glasses when you didn't know your eyesight was bad.
