The current digital revolution has sparked a renewed interest in the
origins and trajectory of modern media, particularly in the years around
1900 when the technology was rapidly developing. This collection aims
to broaden our understanding of early cinema as a significant innovation
in media history. Joining traditional scholarship with fresh insights
from a variety of disciplines, this book explains the aesthetic and
institutional characteristics in early cinema within the context of the
contemporary media landscape. It also addresses transcultural
developments such as scientific revolutions, industrialization,
urbanization, and globalization, as well as differing attitudes toward
modernization. Film 1900 is an important reassessment of early cinema's position in cultural history.
