Product Information
Paolo Cherchi Usai provides a comprehensive introduction to the study, research and preservation of silent cinema from its heyday in the early 20th century to its present day flourishing. He traces the history of the moving image in its formative years, from Edison's and Lumière's first experiments to the dawn of 'talkies'; provides a clear guide to the basics of silent film technology; introduces the technical and creative roles involved in its production, and presents silent cinema as a performance event, rather than a passive viewing experience. This new, greatly expanded edition takes the reader on a new journey, exploring silent cinema in the broader context of technology, culture, and society, from the invention of celluloid film and its related machinery to film studios, laboratories, theatres and audiences. Among the people involved in the creation of a new art form were filmmakers, actors and writers, but also engineers, entrepreneurs, and projectionists. Their collective efforts, and the struggle to preserve their creative work by archives and museums, are interwoven in a compelling story covering three centuries of media history, from the magic lantern to the reinvention of silent cinema in digital form.The new edition also includes comprehensive resource information for the study, research, preservation and exhibition of silent cinema.

Reviews
For decades, Paolo Cherchi Usai's book had been a definitive and inspiring guide to silent cinema--and stays so today when this formerly out-of-the-way and obscure field of study has entered the realm of mainstream entertainment. It stays so because Cherchi Usai has kept it up to date--by way of questioning rather than going along with contemporary dogmas and illusions. Silent film was a performative rather than a technologically reproductive medium; digitization of the photochemical is a deadly remedy instead of a hoped-for panacea. No stone unturned. I fully endorse Paolo Cherchi Usai's daringly cautionary guide., This third edition of an already classic introduction to cinema's 'silent' era may be the best of all. Instead of merely updating his pioneering text, Paolo Cherchi Usai has re-thought what the early period means to us today, and addresses the 'digital natives' who will be its main readers. It's hard to imagine a more enthusiastic or authoritative introduction., " Silent Cinema is a must-have book for everyone interested in cinema of all eras ... If you're not a silent fan, this giddy ride can make you one." - Observations on Film Art, Paolo Cherchi Usai, renowned film curator, filmmaker, and programmer, has created an engaging saga of the diverse ways in which people have made films--and rescued them for others to enjoy. Silent Cinema is a rare feast of information, ideas, and insights. Using Méliès' moon-shot as a recurring example, Cherchi Usai surveys everything from perforations and acting performances to musical accompaniment, each treated with clarity and wit. Particularly valuable are the nuanced accounts of how digital technology has transformed our attitudes toward silent films. The reader comes away with a deeper appreciation of the patient curators who have dedicated themselves to making 'old cinema' perpetually new., Silent Cinema is a must-have book for everyone interested in cinema of all eras ... If you're not a silent fan, this giddy ride can make you one.

It's a small book with lots of recipes, many that have ingredients that I don't have, and probably wouldn't buy just to try the recipe.
