"Short subject films have a long history in American cinemas. These could be anywhere from 2 to 40 minutes long and were used as a "filler" in a picture show that would include a cartoon, a newsreel, possibly a serial and a short before launching into the feature film. Shorts could tackle any topic of interest: an unusual travelogue, a comedy, musical revues, sports, nature or popular vaudeville acts. With the advent of sound-on-film in the mid-to-late 1920s, makers of earlier silent short subjects began experimenting with the short films, using them as a testing ground for the use of sound in feature movies. After the Second World War, and the rising popularity of television, short subject films became far too expensive to produce and they had mostly disappeared from the screens by the late 1950s. This encyclopedia offers comprehensive listings of American short subject films from the 1920s through the 1950s"--Provided by publisher

Un ouvrage consacré au court-métrage, un format cinématographique aux origines du septième art et souvent le lieu de l'avant-garde du cinéma. L'auteur propose une introduction à cette forme au travers de ses films phares et en présente des figures esthétiques importantes. ©Electre 2020 Le court-métrage apparaît comme une catégorie à part dans l'ensemble de la production cinématographique contemporaine. Pourtant, c'est avec lui que naît le cinéma à la toute fin du XIXe siècle. Par la suite, le format court sera le creuset des avant-gardes et des expérimentations qui ne manqueront pas de nourrir et d'inspirer le long-métrage. La forme courte est ainsi devenue le lieu privilégié d'une expression plus libre car moins soumise au diktat de l'industrie. Cet ouvrage se veut une introduction simple au coeur d'une autre histoire du cinéma à travers des films-phares, des figures esthétiques fortes exprimant courants et enjeux essentiels du cinéma tout court.
