D.: 1'. 35mm Dalla Library of Congress Un test di pochi metri, probabilmente destinato alle prove del Kinetophone, cioè della sincronizzazione fra fonografo e kinetoscope. Girato nei laboratori Edison, con Dickson che suona il violino mentre due operai ballano, il film è databile al 1893 o 1894. Con queste brevi, rapide e affascinanti immagini di un fonografo, una macchina da presa che "registrano" colui che, a fianco di Thomas Edison, ha avuto un ruolo fondamentale nella nascita del cinema. Come ideale introduzione alla rassegna dedicata alla "Transiozione dal muto al sonoro", riportiamo l'opinione di Mary Lea Bandy, curatrice del Film Department del Museum of Modern Art di New York. «Negli Stati Uniti, la sperimentazione di sistemi per unire il suono all'immagine sono proseguite senza sosta fin dall'ultimo decennio del secolo scorso. Ma il primo sistema per la produzione e la proiezione di film sonori in grado di imporsi sul mercato vide la luce solamente nel 1926, provocando un'autentica rivoluzione nell'industria cinematografica che durò per tutti i tre anni successivi.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Faculty and Staff Publications by an authorized administrator of Scholar Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected]. War Bonnets and Eagle Feathers in the Dust: The Technicolor Western Although the brand name “Technicolor” might not initially conjure iconic images of cowhands and cavalrymen—for many viewers, it is more closely associated with elaborate musical numbers and swashbuckling action sequences—the Western emerged as an important color genre in postwar Hollywood. Aesthetically, the genre became a vital reservoir for a restrained mode of style, characterized by neutral palettes and tight color harmonies. The restrained mode set an appropriate mood or tone for the Western milieu, but this was not its only function. It also created opportunities for powerful color motif structures and, in some cases, foregrounded the craft of skilled color cinematographers. Production Rates The Western asserted its dominance as a color genre after World War II.1 In the silent era, most films were released with some form of applied color—tinting, toning, or, less frequently, hand painting or stenciling.
