| EPISODE 3: DERIVATIVE AND NOT WITHOUT DYSFUNCTION || A.1: EPHEMERA |

A.1: Agile Cinema® as Iterative Mythology in Three Episodes. Agile Cinema® adapts the iterative logic of software development to moving image and cultural production—not to replicate its tools, but to recode its spirit. Here, the prototype is not a product but a proposition. The method is not linear but recursive. Agile Cinema® works with fragments: media elements that slip between fiction and document, speculation and strategy, fantasy and form. It begins with ephemera: unfinished images, partial scripts, circulating gestures—each activated differently in each context. A collage might serve as a cinematic relic, a commercial provocation, or a ritual object. Nothing is fixed. Meaning migrates. Form is promiscuous. This is not media-as-message—it is media-in-motion. Act 1 unfolds through three episodes—stylized transmissions that test how image behaves when routed through different cultural operating systems. Each episode is a site of reformatting: where cinema stretches across domains and disciplines, and where circulation itself becomes a medium of meaning.
