    Kino: The Western Undergraduate Journal of Film Studies Volume 4 | Issue 1 Article 9 2013 Cinematic Potentialities and The Student of Prague (1913) Matt Rossoni Keywords Student of Prague, Stellen Rye, German art film, early cinema, national cinema Recommended Citation Rossoni, Matt (2013) "Cinematic Potentialities and The Student of Prague (1913)," Kino: The Western Undergraduate Journal of Film Studies: Vol. 4 : Iss. 1 , Article 9. Rossoni: The Student of Prague Cinematic Potentialities and The Student of Prague (1913) by Matt Rossoni Stellen Rye’s 1913 release, Der Student von Prag (translated, The Student of Prague), was praised as ‘the first German art film.’ While it is always difficult to pinpoint a film as being the ‘first’ of its kind – competing closely with this particular claim is Max Mack’s short film Der Andere, also 1913 – historical circumstances were fertile for a film like The Student of Prague to emerge. At an international level, cinema was still predominantly regarded as a form of low entertainment, still caught up in its fairground origins. Debates about cinema were largely concerned with why or why it should not be considered art, especially in comparison to theatre. Artists and theorists working from both inside and outside the scope of film analysis, including, as is particularly important in the case of The Student of Prague, the burgeoning study of psychoanalysis contributed to this debate with varying attitudes, ranging from total embracement to sheer revulsion. The Student of Prague provided an important point of negotiation in such debates, attempting to win over conservative views of art while at the same time, taking a drastic step forward in terms of forming a uniquely cinematic language.

  • Silent Film Music and the Theatre Organ Thomas J. Mathiesen
    Silent Film Music and the Theatre Organ Thomas J. Mathiesen Introduction Until the 1980s, the community of musical scholars in general regarded film music-and especially music for the silent films-as insignificant and uninteresting. Film music, it seemed, was utili­ tarian, commercial, trite, and manipulative. Moreover, because it was film music rather than film music, it could not claim the musical integrity required of artworks worthy of study. If film music in general was denigrated, the theatre organ was regarded in serious musical circles as a particular aberration, not only because of the type of music it was intended to play but also because it represented the exact opposite of the characteristics espoused by the Orgelbewegung of the twentieth century. To make matters worse, many of the grand old motion picture theatres were torn down in the fifties and sixties, their music libraries and theatre organs sold off piecemeal or destroyed. With a few obvious exceptions (such as the installation at Radio City Music Hall in New (c) 1991 Indiana Theory Review 82 Indiana Theory Review Vol. 11 York Cityl), it became increasingly difficult to hear a theatre organ in anything like its original acoustic setting. The theatre organ might have disappeared altogether under the depredations of time and changing taste had it not been for groups of amateurs that restored and maintained some of the instruments in theatres or purchased and installed them in other locations. The American Association of Theatre Organ Enthusiasts (now American Theatre Organ Society [ATOS]) was established on 8 February 1955,2 and by 1962, there were thirteen chapters spread across the country.
