Abstract	:	In seeking to identify cinema’s unique powers, film theorists have frequently drawn attention to instances of temporal modulation. Whether slowing down the motion of a passing bullet or accentuating the bustle of urban traffic, the cinematograph’s flexible framerate seems to reveal aspects of the phenomenal world to which we are otherwise blind. In more contemporary examples, this ability to vary film speeds can be subsumed into a broader range of visualization practices, and may prove especially pertinent to efforts to model, demonstrate, and mobilize responses to incremental climate change and other cases of what Rob Nixon calls “slow violence.” In short, we find ourselves compelled, now, to engage innovatively with nonhuman temporalities—but now is also a good time to think historically about the roles different media have played in producing and organizing our relation to different timescales.
