geeeeetting there. its so dense sometimes but still very interesting. surprisingly some really diverse and inclusive chapters. they even have a sub chapter on indigenous cinema pre 60s :O

Made slow progress but finally got the physical book so back at it now. Just about finished with the silent era. So much information. The contributors of this book are masters of obscurity. Especially liked the chapter on Japanese silent cinema and how they incorporated a lot of theatrical elements with their screenings. Imagine seeing a movie in a theatre that built props to go along with the images on screen!
