Filmmakers and cinema industries across the globe invest more time,
money and creative energy in projects and ideas that never get
produced than in the movies that actually make it to the screens.
Thousands of projects are abandoned in pre-production, halted, cut
short, or even made and never distributed – a “shadow cinema”
that exists only in the archives. This collection of essays by
leading scholars and researchers opens those archives to draw on a
wealth of previously unexamined scripts, correspondence and
production material, reconstructing many of the hidden histories of
the last hundred years of world cinema. Highlighting the fact that
the movies we see are actually the exception to the rule, this
study uncovers the myriad reasons why ‘failures’ occur and
considers how understanding those failures can transform the
disciplines of film and media history. The first survey of this new
area of empirical study across transnational borders, Shadow Cinema
is a vital and fascinating demonstration of the importance of the
unmade, unseen, and unknown history of cinema.
