This book brings together the study of silent cinema and the study
of British cinema, both of which have seen some of the most
exciting developments in Film Studies in recent years. The result
is a comprehensive survey of one of the most important periods of
film history. Most of the acknowledged experts on this period are
represented, joined by several new voices. Together they chart the
development of cinema in Britain from its beginnings in the 1890s
to the conversion to sound in the late 1920s. From these accounts
the youthful British cinema emerges as far from innocent. On the
contrary, it was a fascinatingly complex field of cultural and
industrial practices. The book also includes guides to
bibliographical and archival sources and an extensive bibliography.

This study is devoted to the work of two early British filmmakers,
George Albert Smith and James Williamson, and the films that they
made around 1900. Internationally, they are known collectively as
the 'Brighton School' and are positioned as being at the forefront
of Britain's contribution to the birth of film. The book focuses on
the years 1896 to 1903, as it was during this short period that
film emerged as a new technology, a new enterprise and a new form
of entertainment. Beginning with a historiography of the Brighton
School, the study goes on to examine the arrival of the first 35mm
films in Britain, the first film exhibitions in Brighton and the
first projection of film in Brighton. Both Smith and Williamson's
work features a progression from the production of single shot
unedited films to multi-shot edited films. Their subject matter was
inspired by a knowledge of contemporary pantomime, humour,
literature, theatre, mesmerism, the magic lantern and current
affairs and their practices were underpinned by active involvement
in the new film trade. Through the exploration of how these
filmmakers cultivated a new way of understanding film and its
commercial potential, this book establishes them as key figures in
the development of British film culture.
