When still images started to move, the world around them was also set in<br />
motion. Klaus Kreimeier shows how the story of early cinema is intertwined with<br />
the cultural history of its time.<br />
Cinema is the leading art form of the industrial age. But in order for an audience’s dreams to<br />
be brought to life on the big screen there is an enormous amount of technology, capital and<br />
logistical planning required. The triumphant success of cinema is far more than the assertion<br />
of a new medium – it has fundamentally transformed our perception of reality.<br />
Klaus Kreimeier presents the story of cinema's heroic burgeoning years as a pivotal chapter<br />
in the history of our modern world: from the very first cinematic experiments to the feature-length<br />
epics of the age of silent movies and from the travelling picture houses of the<br />
fairground to today's metropolitan multiplexes. Compiled by one of the foremost authorities<br />
on early cinematic history, this book is a treasure trove of information, not only for film<br />
enthusiasts.<br />
