Beginning around
1903,
a variety of producers began making films about scientific topics for
general audiences, inspired by a vision of cinema as an educational medium. Excavating this
largely unknown genre of early cinema, Devices of Curiosity traces its development from its
beginnings in England to its flourishing in France around
1910.
Oliver Gaycken investigates how
such films both relied upon previous traditions and created novel visual paradigms that led to the
creation of ambitious new film collections. Gaycken also discerns a transit between nonfictional
and fictional modes, seeing affinities between popular-science films and certain aspects of fiction
films, particularly Louis Feuillade's crime melodramas.
Drawing on the insigtrts of the history of science as well as the history of cinema,
reveals the extent to which popular-science films impacted the formation of documentary, edu¬
cational, and avant-garde cinemas.
Oliver Gaycken is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Maryland. |
