BLOM Owner and Film Distributor Jean Desmet (1875-1956) Since 1957, the Netherlands Film Museum in Amster- dam has been in possession of the Desmet Collec- tion, which contains the estate of the Dutch cinema IVO BLOM DUTCH FILM TRADE JEAN DESMET AND THE EARLY owner and film distributor Jean Desmet (1875-1956). FILM FILM The history of this strangely retiring ‘showman’ offers not simply an abstract of an individual character and CULTURE CULTURE his personal ambitions and motivations, but also IN TRANSITION IN TRANSITION epitomises the transformation of cinema into a dis- tinctively modern industry. Between 1907 and 1916, the world of cinema experienced radical structural change, which Desmet not only wit- nessed but also helped to bring about. Given the insufficiencies of Dutch film production, Desmet became a link between film production abroad and film exhibition in the Netherlands. In this original and wide-ranging study, Ivo Blom uses the career of Jean Desmet as a means of exploring the history of cinema from the ground-level perspective of film distribution and exhibition. His sociologically nuanced, co- piously illustrated and scrupulously documen- ted story of ‘Citizen Desmet’ swells into an epic narrative of early urban cinema culture. Ivo Blom (1960) is a lecturer in Film Studies at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

Once a territory has been dug up, the barbarians (in this case our- selves) start looking for another area to ravage. The good thing is that the results of this sudden, violent and creative event were spectacular. Once left alone, the Desmet Collection will probably be able to deliver other ideas and unexpected directions of research we have never thought of. But it will take time, and maybe a little less obsession for discovering the new at any cost.

Even if I were able to decipher all the hand- writing, even if I had a decent amount of Dutch and European history at my fingertips, I would still be looking through the keyhole of an other- wise sealed door, my vision confined to what the impassive keyhole deigned to show or conceal. Each of these letters is a keyhole like this.1 Some writers may have to struggle with a lack of source material, but the principal source of this book – the business archive of Jean Desmet – is a wall of written paper. The keyhole metaphor is entirely appropriate, although there are, properly speaking, many keyholes. I looked in on Desmet himself, but also on his customers, suppliers and competitors. Hundreds of different stories, sometimes contradicting each other, yet all revealing the complexity of (film) history. In a Pathé farce called un coup d’oeil par étage (1904), a concierge peeps through the keyholes on each floor of his building and dis- covers a fire on the top floor. We come upon signs of damage by fire and water in Desmet’s business archive as well. In 1938, a fire broke out at the top of the Cinema Parisien, his cinema in Amsterdam. Both Desmet’s films and his business records were very nearly lost, and this book would never have been written. My book is a condensed and reworked version of a dissertation, originally written in Dutch, which was awarded a doctorate by the University of Am- sterdam in March 2000. The original idea of the study goes back to the end of the 1980s. In 1988 Nelly Voorhuis and I were organising a festival of Italian cinema before 1945 entitled ‘Il primo cinema italiano 1905-1945’, which marked my introduction to early Italian film, to the Giornate del Cinema Muto at Pordenone, Italy, and to the international community of film histori- ans. I became fascinated by the ‘mainstream cinema’ of the decade 1910-1920. It was only then that I became properly acquainted with the Desmet Collec- tion, and we selected several of Desmet’s Italian films for the festival pro- gramme. Together with the film historian and festival programmer Paolo Cherchi Usai, I looked at unrestored Desmet films at the Netherlands Film- museum’s auxiliary branch in Overveen. It was the first time I had seen ni- trate films, with their bright monochrome tinting, or caught the stale odour of decomposing nitrate stock. I soon got used to this smell as it happened, for a month later I joined the archive staff at Overveen, where I spent the next five Blom DEF 05-01-2004 12:24 Pagina 12 12 Jean Desmet and the Early Dutch Film Trade years looking at nitrate films.

  • Zeughauskino: Gretchen Und Germania
    GRETCHEN UND GERMANIA HOMMAGE AN HENNY PORTEN Wie kaum eine andere deutsche Schauspielerin hat Henny Porten (1890 – 1960) zwischen 1910 und 1933 das populäre Bild der Frau in Deutschland verkörpert und geprägt. Bewunderer hatte sie in allen Bevölkerungsschichten: Soldatenräte ließen sie in den November- kämpfen 1918 hochleben; Reichstagspräsident Ebert besuchte ihre Dreharbeiten; und bei ihren Filmpremieren erlebten die Innenstädte Massenaufläufe. Ironisch und ernsthaft augenzwinkernd schlug 1922 der Literat Kurt Pinthus im linksliberalen Tagebuch vor: »Man mache Henny Porten zum Reichspräsidenten! Hier ist eine Gestalt, die in Deutschland volkstümlicher ist als der alte Fritz, als der olym- pische Goethe es je waren und sein konnten... Hier ist eine schöne Frau, die als Vereinigung von Gretchen und Germania von diesem Volke selbst als Idealbild eben dieses Volkes aufgerichtet wurde«. Bereits seit 1906 war die junge Porten in Dutzenden von Tonbildern aufgetreten, in nachgestellten kurzen Opernszenen, zu denen im Kino der entsprechende Musikpart aus dem Grammophon erklang. Mit großen Posen und Affektdarstellungen eiferten die Darsteller dieser frühen, oft nur eine Minute langen Filme den bekannten Mimen der Hoftheater nach. Bekannte, zur Ikone geronnene Darstel- lungsklischees großer Gefühle nahm die junge Filmschauspielerin auf und formte daraus ein filmspezifisches Vokabular stummen Spiels, eindringlicher Gesten und Blicke. Portens Gebärdensprache betont die vereinzelte Geste und isoliert Bedeutung, die nur in Gip- felmomenten beschleunigt, ansonsten aber ausgespielt oder ver- langsamt wird. Portens häufig wiederkehrendes Darstellungsfeld – schicksalsschwe- rer Kampf und mit Demut getragenes Leid – wird während des Ers- ten Weltkriegs Realität vieler Frauen.

  • Poland in Amsterdam
    PRESS FEATURE Poland in Amsterdam Amsterdam and Poland have age-old ties. The majority of Amsterdam’s 17th-century ring of canals was built using oak posts from Poland; the historic canal-side houses in Polish Gdansk were built using Dutch bricks. Amsterdam ships loaded these bricks for voyages to Gdansk and brought back grain from Poland. Nowadays, Polish people consider Amsterdam to be a favourite place to live and work in. Poolsche Coffijhuis, later turning into Hotel Polen (Poland) In 1781, the Kalverstraat, corner Papenbroeksteeg, was the location of the Poolsche Coffijhuis (Polish Coffee House). This was later converted into hotel Polen. In 1941, the hotel had to change its name to Paleis Hotel by order of the German occupier. The hotel burnt down in 1977. A monument was erected on the Nieuwe Oosterbegraafplaats for the 33 victims. Jurriaen Pool, 17th-century painter Jurriaen Pool (1666-1745) was a portrait painter with Polish roots. He grew up in the Kalverstraat Burgerweeshuis, an orphanage, in Amsterdam. He married Rachel Ruysch in 1693, one of the few female artists of the time, one of the reasons why she was to become more famous than her husband. Both were buried in Amsterdam’s Nieuwe Kerk. The Amsterdam Museum displays a number of Jurriaen Pool’s paintings. amsterdammuseum.nl Abraham Krasnapolsky from ‘Beautiful Poland’ In 1865, Abraham W. Krasnapolsky (1838-1912), son of Polish immigrants, bought the Nieuwe Poolsche Koffiehuis at the Warmoesstraat 181. In 1883, he added a hotel under the name Krasnapolsky to his business. The Wintertuin (Winter garden) with its enormous plants and palms under a glass dome was to become famous and is still being used today.

  • The Uses of Animation 1
    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.
