Landmarks of Early Film
Hindered by the pejorative title of "primitive cinema," film from the first projections of moving pictures to the advent of the feature is still underseen, underappreciated and understudied. Most of the popular writings about the history of film rush through the period, nodding brusquely at Thomas Edison and Edwin Porter, oversimplifying the roles of the Lumières and Méliès. Then there is a great leap to Griffith, skipping entirely the contributions of essential traditions, artists and companies, as if to say that only here does the good stuff start.
