Cet ouvrage porte sur le cas concret de Maurice Maeterlinck comme auteur adapté à l'époque du cinéma muet. Inspiré de la théorie de Pierre Bourdieu, il propose de renouveler la problématique de l?adaptation cinématographique en prenant pour point de départ l?auteur agissant dans plusieurs champs et étant agi par ceux-ci. Dans les années dix et vingt, Maeterlinck occupe des positions contrastées : consacré en littérature, peu ou pas reconnu au cinéma. Cet écart suscite un triple questionnement, sur l'entrée de l'auteur dans le champ cinématographique, sur les stratégies qu'il transpose d'un domaine à l'autre, enfin sur l'ajustement des stratégies aux états successifs du cinéma. Centré sur le contexte de production des œuvres, l?ouvrage ne néglige pas leur dimension esthétique. Il met en évidence des sources premières rarement sollicitées : les films Monna Vanna (Ambrosio, 1914?1916), Pelléas et Mélisande (Éclair, 1915) et The Blue Bird (Paramount, 1918). L'analyse esthétique révèle la manière dont le cinéma reprend des éléments théâtraux et se les réapproprie, ou encore dans quelle mesure les œuvres adaptées oscillent entre les différents pôles de production et se stabilisent dans la zone de grande production de qualité

Metropolis : "The city of the future, huge, of gigantic dimensions... Machines : fantastic dreams of the future come true. Heart Machine, Moloch Machine... Humans of the light : happy, like gods. Humans of the night : enslaved like cattle. Human Machine : pools of light oscillate... limbs of steel transform into human shapes. Water disaster in the worker's city... Riot ! The underground city drowns !" Thus was Germany's biggest and most ambitious silent film advertised in Cologne in 1927. Amost ninety years after the premiere of METROPOLIS, the University- and City Library Cologne presents an exhibition on this classic film together with a comprehensive accompanying programme. You will see screenings, costumes, film cameras, musical performances, films stills, drafts by set designers, recreated props, readings and lectures on the film and its production. Right up to the present day, films and music videos continue to make a stylistic and architectural references to Fritz Lang's epic masterpiece

In recent years, there has been something of an explosion in the performance of live music to silent films. There is a wide range of films with live and new scores that run from the historically accurate orchestral scores to contemporary sounds by groups such as Pet Shop Boys or by experimental composers and gothic heavy metal bands. It is no exaggeration to claim that music constitutes a bridge between the old silent film and the modern audience; music is also a channel for non-scholarly audiences to gain an appreciation of silent films. Music has become a means both for musicians and audiences to understand this bygone film art anew. This book is the first of its kind in that it aims to bring together writings and interviews to delineate the culture of providing music for silent films. It not only has the character of a scholarly work but is also something of a manual in that it discusses how to make music for silent films.

"A comparative history of Latin America's national cinemas over the course of five major periods: silent cinema, studio cinema, neorealism/art cinema, the New Latin American Cinema, and contemporary cinema. Close readings of approximately fifty films illustrate the major aesthetic, economic, and technological trends that define each period and the transitions between them. The selection of films reflects the tripartite division of film production in the region: 75 percent are from Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina; 25 percent are from countries other than the big three"--Provided by publisher.
