This book examines the development of cinematic form and culture in
Russia, from its late nineteenth-century beginnings as a fairground
attraction to the early post-Revolutionary years. The author traces
the changing perceptions of cinema and its social transition from a
modernist invention to a national art form. He explores reactions
to the earliest films from actors, novelists, poets, writers and
journalists. His richly detailed study of the physical elements of
cinematic performance includes the architecture and illumination of
the cinema foyer, the speed of projection and film acoustics. In
contrast to standard film histories, this book focuses on reflected
images: rather than discussing films and film-makers, it features
the historical film-goer and early writings on film. The book
presents a vivid and changing picture of cinema culture in Russia
in the twilight of the tsarist era and the first decades of the
twentieth century. The study expands the whole context of reception
studies and opens up questions about reception relevant to other
national cinemas.
