Abstract

La question de la conservation, de la restauration et de la diffusion du patrimoine cinématographique et audiovisuel devient de plus en plus cruciale. Des pans entiers de l'histoire du cinéma demeurent toujours difficiles d'accès et sont souvent menacés de disparition. Que faire de ces gisements de films et de documents audiovisuels que les archives ont de moins en moins les ressources et la possibilité de faire connaître ? Où commence et où s'arrête la notion de patrimoine filmique ? Quels sont les critères de pertinence qui mènent une cinémathèque ou une archive à favoriser la restauration de telle œuvre plutôt que telle autre ? Comment la redécouverte de certains corpus de films contribue à modifier notre connaissance de l'histoire du cinéma ? Quelle influence la conservation et la patrimonialisation du cinéma a eu sur les créateurs de cinéma ? Comment ces œuvres participent d'une forme de valorisation singulière du patrimoine filmique ? Quels sont les nouveaux défis des cinémathèques et des archives dans la conservation et la restauration du patrimoine filmique ? Quels rôles jouent les « nouveaux supports » dans la conservation de certaines zones oubliées du patrimoine cinématographique ? Sans avoir la prétention d’épuiser les multiples ramifications de ces questions pressantes, vastes et complexes, cet ouvrage voudrait poser quelques jalons d’une réflexion plus que jamais nécessaire sur l’avenir de la mémoire des archives cinématographiques et audiovisuelles.

Abstract

Hollywood Vault is the story of how the business of film libraries emerged and evolved, spanning the silent era to the sale of feature libraries to television. Eric Hoyt argues that film libraries became valuable not because of the introduction of new technologies but because of the emergence and growth of new markets, and suggests that studying the history of film libraries leads to insights about their role in the contemporary digital marketplace. The history begins in the mid-1910s, when the star system and other developments enabled a market for old films that featured current stars. After the transition to films with sound, the reissue market declined but the studios used their libraries for the production of remakes and other derivatives. The turning point in the history of studio libraries occurred during the mid to late 1940s, when changes in American culture and an industry-wide recession convinced the studios to employ their libraries as profit centers through the use of theatrical reissues. In the 1950s, intermediary distributors used the growing market of television to harness libraries aggressively as foundations for cross-media expansion, a trend that continues today. By the late 1960s, the television marketplace and the exploitation of film libraries became so lucrative that they prompted conglomerates to acquire the studios. The first book to discuss film libraries as an important and often underestimated part of Hollywood history, Hollywood Vault presents a fascinating trajectory that incorporates cultural, legal, and industrial history.

Abstract

"A majority of all films ever made no longer exist. Those that are left will deteriorate rapidly unless kept in optimum conditions. Since the 1930s film archives around the world have been struggling to preserve our cinematic heritage through preservation, restoration and the search for lost films. But the questions of what to keep and how are complex ... and what about television?" "Keepers of the Frame tells the intriguing story of how the archive movement came into being, describes preservation policies and technical developments, and communicates the fascination and romance of rescuing the flickering images of the past."--Jacket.
