Rich in implications for our present era of media change, the
Promise of Cinema offers a compelling new vision of film theory.
The volume conceives of "theory" not as a fixed body of canonical
texts, but as a dynamic set of reflections on the very idea of
cinema and the possibilities once associated with it. Unearthing
more than 275 early-twentieth-century German texts, this
ground-breaking documentation leads readers into a world that was
striving to assimilate modernity's most powerful new medium. We
encounter lesser-known essays by Bela Balazs, Walter Benjamin, and
Siegfried Kracauer alongside interventions from the realms of
aesthetics, education, industry, politics, science, and technology.
The book also features programmatic writings from the Weimar
avant-garde and from directors such as Fritz Lang and F.W. Murnau.
Nearly all documents appear in English for the first time; each is
meticulously introduced and annotated. The most comprehensive
collection of German writings on film published to date, The
Promise of Cinema is an essential resource for students and
scholars of film and media, critical theory, and European culture
and history.
