From cinema's earliest days, walking and filmmaking have been
intrinsically linked. Technologically, culturally and
aesthetically, the pioneers of cinema were not only interested in
using the camera to scientifically study ambulatory motion, but
were also keen to capture the speed and mobile culture of late
19th-century urban life. Photographers such as Felix Nadar took
their cameras into the Parisian streets and boulevards as
mechanised flaneurs, ushering us into the age of the 'mobilised
virtual gaze'. But if photography could only embalm modernity in an
instant of time, the cinema brought these instants to life again.
From Muybridge and Marey's photographic studies of motion to
Charlie Chaplin's character 'The Tramp', and from the Steadicam to
the police procedural, Thomas Deane Tucker explores the intertwined
relationship between cinema and walking from its very first steps -
breaking new ground in motion studies and providing a bold new
perspective on film history.
