Collecting Cinema, Rewriting Film History

Between the Visible and the Invisible

About this book

The writing of cinema history would not be possible without the contribution of collectors. Whether through their pioneering excavation work or their passionate defence of forgotten productions and artifacts, collectors have had a lasting influence on both the field and the methods of moving image history. Proceeding from a renewed dialogue between international film scholars, collectors, filmmakers, curators, and archivists, this book aims to reveal the extent to which collectors and collections have contributed to both the history and the epistemology of moving images. It showcases specific studies of collecting practices, as well as in-depth interviews with collectors and artists bringing to light the innumerable articulations between collecting cinema and the rewriting of film history.
