This study sees the nineteenth century supernatural as a significant context for cinema's first years. The book takes up the familiar notion of cinema as a "ghostly," "spectral" or "haunted" medium and asks what made such association possible. Examining the history of the projected image and supernatural displays, psychical research and telepathy, spirit photography and X-rays, the skeletons of the danse macabre and the ghostly spaces of the mind, it uncovers many lost and fascinating connections. The Modern Supernatural and the Beginnings of Cinema locates film's spectral affinities within a history stretching back to the beginning of screen practice and forward to the digital era. In addition to examining the use of supernatural themes by pioneering filmmakers like Georges Méliès and George Albert Smith, it also engages with the representations of cinema's ghostly past in Guy Maddin's recent online project Seances (2016). It is ideal for those interested in the history of cinema, the study of the supernatural and the pre-history of the horror film.

La magie, c'est les tours de passe-passe des champs de foire et les numéros de music-hall, mais d'abord c'est la « pensée magique ». Venue de loin et secrète, elle reste parmi nous comme une « science » des mystères : le désir y est plus fort que les contraintes du réel. Or le cinéma a été et reste proche de la magie sur ces deux registres, et il en tire une grande partie de sa puissance et de son « évidence » culturelles. Ce livre propose une exploration magistrale de ces profondeurs méconnues. Bien au-delà des liens qui unissent avec Méliès le septième art naissant et la prestidigitation, la magie, entre effets spéciaux et création de personnages (vampires, femmes panthères, ...), ne cesse d'occuper cette toile où viennent nous piéger, pour notre plus grand délice, ces modes de pensée dits « archaïques » auxquels nous sommes supposés avoir renoncé. Cette empreinte du magique qui colore passé et présent du cinéma, d'Epstein, Murnau, Dreyer, Welles et Cocteau à Resnais, Oshii, Lynch, Chabrol, Van Sant, ou Weerasethakul, en oriente aussi l'avenir, avec toutes les ressources offertes par les évolutions technologiques.
