| 46 The Beforelight team arrive to prove that cinema can be
linked with any other art or science whatsoever-even with
radiography. The x-ray event gives flesh and blood (and even
more so bones) to the most famous stars of world cinema.
Using a special technique, full-body photographs of beloved
stars are transformed into peculiar x-rays, thus offering the
public an entirely different view of things.
Radiography (anatomy of the body) and cinema (anatomy of
movement) were born at the same time, in 1895, and upon
making their appearance amazed the public at the turn of the
19th century. The early viewers would leave theatres not only
because they thought a train was heading straight for them, but
also because a human skeleton could be seen walking behind
a curtain!
Their common road soon forked, with radiography taking the
path of science and cinema that of popular entertainment.
Now, their roads cross again and we see, for the first time, cinema
stars receiving flesh and blood (and bones, most of all), in
a Thessaloniki transformed into a dark projection hall, to the
delight of festival viewers!
