"Silent Films/Loud Music discusses contemporary scores for silent film as a rich vehicle for experimentation in the relationship between music, image, and narrative. Johnston offers an overview of the early history of music for silent film paired with his own first-hand view of the craft of creating new original scores for historical silent films: a unique form crossing musical boundaries of classical, jazz, rock, electronic, and folk. As the first book completely devoted to the study of contemporary scores for silent film, it tells the story of the historical and creative evolution of this art form and features an extended discussion and analysis of some of the most creative works of contemporary silent film scoring. Johnston draws upon his own career in both contemporary film music (working with directors Paul Mazursky, Henry Bean, Philip Haas and Doris Dörrie, among others) and in creating new scores for silent films by Browning, Méliès, Kinugasa, Murnau & Reiniger. Through this book, Johnston presents a discussion of music for silent films that contradicts long-held assumptions about what silent film music is and must be, with thought-provoking implications for both historical and contemporary film music"--

Through a detailed study of the circulation of European silent film in Australasia in the early twentieth century, this book challenges the historical myopia that treats Hollywood films as having always dominated global film culture.Before World War I, European silent feature films were ubiquitous in Australia and New Zealand, teaching Antipodean audiences about Continental cultures and familiarizing them with glamorous European stars, from Asta Nielsen to Emil Jannings. After the rise of Hollywood and then the shift to sound film, this history—and its implications for cross-cultural exchange—was lost. Julie K. Allen recovers that history, with its flamboyant participants, transnational currents, innovative genres, and geopolitical complications, bringing it all vividly to life.Making ground-breaking use of digitized Australian and New Zealand newspapers, the author reconstructs the distribution and exhibition of European silent films in the Antipodes, along the way incorporating compelling biographical sketches of the ambitious pioneers of the Australasian cinema industry. She reveals the complexity and competitiveness of the early cinema market, in a region with high consumer demand and low domestic production, and frames the dramatic shift to almost exclusively American cinema programming during World War I, contextualizing the rise of the art film in the 1920s in competition with mainstream Hollywood productions.

Die medienwissenschaftliche Debatte um das Verhältnis und die Verschränkung von Mensch und Medium bekommt eine neue theoriehistorische Analytik: Mit dem »audiovisuellen Individuum« - dem Audioviduum - rückt Julia Eckel eine spezifische Schnittstelle dieser materiellen wie diskursiven Kopplung in den Fokus. Dazu untersucht sie die Relevanz des Menschenmotivs in audiovisuellen Medien für die Herausbildung medientheoretischen Denkens und befragt frühe Schriften zu Stummfilm, Radio und Tonfilm auf ihre inhärenten Anthropozentrismen. Das Audioviduum bezeichnet hierbei die konkrete Verschmelzung von Medium und Mensch im Modus anthropomorpher und anthropophoner Audiovisualität und repräsentiert dessen Relevanz für die Medientheorien des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts - und darüber hinaus.

Sparked by a groundbreaking Amsterdam workshop titled "Disorderly Order: Colours in Silent Film," scholarly and archival interest in colour as a crucial aspect of film form, technology and aesthetics has enjoyed a resurgence in the past twenty years. In the spirit of the workshop, this anthology brings together international experts to explore a diverse range of themes that they hope will inspire the next twenty years of research on colour in silent film. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the book explores archival restoration, colour film technology, colour theory, and experimental film alongside beautifully saturated images of silent cinema.

Fernand Schirren (1920-2001) a accompagné les films muets dès la création du Musée du Cinéma en 1962. Ce manuscrit édité ici pour la première fois, nous aide à comprendre comment il est passé maître dans cet art de l'improvisation. Né en 1920 à Nice, Fernand Schirren est le fils du peintre Ferdinand Schirren. Brillant pianiste, élève de Marcel Maas, il abandonne très vite le piano pour se consacrer à ses recherches sur le rythme. À l'aide de bande magnétique ou de percussions il compose la bande-son de plusieurs films. Musicien pour Maurice Béjart dès son arrivée à Bruxelles, il est sur scène aux côtés des danseurs dans ses ballets, dont Les Quatre fils Aymon. Professeur de rythme à Mudra de 1970 à 1988, il marque une génération emblématique de chorégraphes, comme Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker qui l'engage plus tard chez P.A.R.T.S. Il enseigne également pendant quinze ans au Studio Herman Teirlinck. De 1962 à la fin de sa vie, il accompagne les films muets au piano au Musée du Cinéma, aujourd'hui CINEMATEK. Il est internationalement reconnu comme un des grands spécialistes de cet art.
