Description
Film history has only recently begun to understand that new media forms are firmly embedded within the traditions of early film culture. This book presents a comparative examination of old and new cinema, shedding light on a variety of films and new media forms. The author explores the intersections of celluloid and digital films through a unique comparison of some of the earliest cinematic experiments and their related digital films. The book delves into theatrical experiments with light, connections to music videos, silent cinema, German Expressionist cinema, multi-screen film, early editing techniques, and interactive digital screens. By adopting a metahistory approach, the author uncovers a constellation of older and newer cinematic forms, highlighting forgotten or marginalized contributions to history. This book offers an exploration of the materials and technologies that can be used to explore these intersections, revealing new discoveries and shedding light on the hidden histories of cinema.
