Drawing on fan and industry periodicals, as well as the testimony of pioneering filmmakers and film manufacturers, the book reveals that the \"politico-material\" properties of these geo- and bio-physical materials influenced a range of aesthetic regimes - from the turn-of-the century \"trick\" film, to developments in popular science cinema, to early studio-era fantasies of the \"silver screen.\" In the process, the book offers a fresh perspective on the interplay between \"nature\" and \"culture\" in film history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.27 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 30, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44245468643379,"sku":"9781399548250","price":109.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/2191\/6467\/files\/dHpjz9YtdK9781399548250.webp?v=1777649120","url":"https:\/\/thereadinghousebookcompany.com\/products\/the-natural-history-of-film-form-paperback","provider":"The Reading House Book Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
