'A History of Early Film' - 'A History of Pre Cinema' - 'A History ofTelevision' and much more.
Dear List
Members,
Few years after publication, Early Visual Media is pleased to
announce the important three volume set 'A History of Early Film' selected by Stephen
Herbert.
A similar set, 'A History of Television' is also available form
Routledge.
On the latter webpage you will also find the previously announced
'A History of Pre-Cinema'
These are great resources for academic researchers, university &
museum libraries and private collectors.
More Routledge encyclopaedic works, 'Encyclopedia of
Nineteenth-Century Photography' & 'Encyclopedia of
twentieth-Century Photography' where announced several years ago
and can be found on the subsequent page.
The new book page, Related Popular Arts, is
announcing an important study on the 'The Victorian Marionette
Theatre'.
The additional page,
DVD, CD-Rom & Video's, announces the interactive
DVD 'KINOAUTOMAT, One Man and his
House'.
While Kinoautomat was
created in Czechoslovakia by a talented team in 1966-67, it is generally
considered to be the brainchild of Radúz Cincera.
It was a performance, which
combined a projected film with interventions from two stage moderators, which
was shown for the first time at the Czechoslovak Pavilion at Expo '67 Montreal,
where it ran for six months as a one-hour show.
Using a specially
constructed voting system, the audience members can change the trajectory of the
film at several key moments by pressing red or green
buttons.
The direction voted by the
majority would then be followed by the projection team.
