Tungkol sa ebook na ito
Lost Silent Films explores the tragic disappearance of approximately 80% of silent films, framing it as a significant cultural loss that impacts our understanding of early 20th-century society. This book investigates the reasons behind this cinematic vanishing act, detailing the instability of nitrate film, the era's primary film stock which was prone to decomposition and fire. It also examines the historical context, including a general lack of perceived value which led to neglect, systematic discarding, and even intentional destruction of these early films. This study uniquely combines technical analysis, historical investigation, and cultural critique to provide a comprehensive account of the lost silent era.
The book presents a multifaceted approach, from detailing the technology of early cinema and the dangers of nitrate film to the role of studio practices, copyright law, and shifting audience tastes. Case studies of specific lost films considered cinematic milestones are provided.
The book progresses by first introducing early film technology, then examining the historical factors contributing to film loss, and finally exploring film preservation efforts and modern digital restoration techniques. By drawing from archival research, filmographic data, and historical accounts, Lost Silent Films connects to diverse fields such as art history, media studies, and cultural preservation.
