Description de l'ouvrage :
The Dream the Kicks is a classic account of the prehistory and early years of cinema in Britain. In this new paperback edition, which has been thoroughly revised to take into account recent scholarship of early cinema, Michael Chanan provides a fasciniating account of the rich and hitherto hidden history of the origins of film.
Chanan demonstrates that the theory of `the persistence of vision', which led to the invention of moving pictures, has been superceded by modern scientific findings. In its place, he puts forward a theory of invention as a type of bricolage, and shows that cinematography was a product of the forces of nineteenth century capitalism. He discusses the wealth of influences, both popular and bourgeois, on the culture of early cinema, including diorama, the magic lantern, itinerant entertainers and music hall. He looks at the relationship between film and photography, and considers the nascent film business, the ways in which early cinema was received by its audiences and the developing aesthetics of cinema in its first fifteen years.
À propos de l'auteur :
Michael Chanan is a film maker, writer and teacher. A music critic in the early 1970s, when he directed documentaries on music for the BBC, he went on to make several films in Latin America during the 1980s. He is the author of The Cuban Image (on Cuban cinema) and of Musica Practica and Repeated Takes (on the social practice of music and the recording industry) and he is a member of the editorial board of Vertigo, an independent film and television magazine.
