Paolo Cherchi Usai provides a comprehensive introduction to the
study, research and preservation of silent cinema from its heyday
in the early 20th century to its present day flourishing. He traces
the history of the moving image in its formative years, from
Edison's and Lumiere's first experiments to the dawn of 'talkies';
provides a clear guide to the basics of silent film technology;
introduces the technical and creative roles involved in its
production, and presents silent cinema as a performance event,
rather than a passive viewing experience. This new, greatly
expanded edition takes the reader on a new journey, exploring
silent cinema in the broader context of technology, culture, and
society, from the invention of celluloid film and its related
machinery to film studios, laboratories, theatres and audiences.
Among the people involved in the creation of a new art form were
filmmakers, actors and writers, but also engineers, entrepreneurs,
and projectionists. Their collective efforts, and the struggle to
preserve their creative work by archives and museums, are
interwoven in a compelling story covering three centuries of media
history, from the magic lantern to the reinvention of silent cinema
in digital form. The new edition also includes comprehensive
resource information for the study, research, preservation and
exhibition of silent cinema.
