About this book
Author / Editor information
Reviews
Film theory's classic question "What is cinema?" often gets a (stereo)typical answer around the idea that movies exist when projected on standard screens in theaters. With her well-known and lauded attention to archival research, Ariel Rogers revises this received account of cinema and essentially rewrites it from the ground up. This is a rich and rewarding study that combines sharp scholarship with compelling new interpretation to change the field.
Francesco Casetti, author of The Lumière Galaxy: Seven Key Words for the Cinema to Come:
Offering an extensive and systematic exploration of screen practices in the 1930s, Ariel Rogers re-characterizes this seemingly solid, coherent era by analyzing its multiplicity and heterogeneity. Screen becomes a kaleidoscopic reality.
Haidee Wasson, author of Museum Movies: The Museum of Modern Art and the Birth of Art Cinema:
There is no other book remotely like this. On the Screen is original in the material it unearths and discusses, offering an innovative history of film and technology. It strikes an easy balance between big ideas and focused analysis, addressing unmapped screen dynamics as crucial elements of that still undiscovered phenomena we call cinema.
