Correction, Please: or, How We Got into the Pictures

Experimental essay in film history, associating very early archive material (circa 1909) and studio shot footage in an attempt to provide insights into the way in which “film language” developed during the silent era, with emphasis on the process by which spectators came to be increasingly “contained” with the space time of narrative.
