From Melies to New Media contributes to a dynamic stream of film
history that is just beginning to understand that new media forms
are not only indebted to but firmly embedded within the traditions
and conventions of early film culture. Adopting a media
archaeology, this book will present a comparative examination of
cinema including early film experiments with light and contemporary
music videos, silent film and their digital restorations, German
Expressionist film and post-noir cinema, French Gothic film and the
contemporary digital remake, Alfred Hitchcock's films exhibited in
the gallery, post medium films as abstracted light forms and
interactive digital screens revising experiments in precinema.
Media archaeology is an approach that uncovers the potential of
intermedial research as a fluid form of history. It envisages the
potential of new discoveries that foreground forgotten or
marginalised contributions to history. It is also an approach that
has been championed by influential new historicists like Thomas
Elsaesser as providing the most vibrant and productive new
histories (2014).
