Sepolti al fondo di quel grande oceano costituito da archivi e cineteche, si nascondono ancora continenti da scoprire. Uno di questi e sicuramente il rapporto fra il cinema muto italiano e le arti. e loro di Atlantide del cinema nazionale dinizio secolo: uno scrigno di idee, discorsi, anticipazioni, e meravigliose false partenze, su cui per anni sembrava caduto loblio. Grazie a un paziente lavoro di ricerca, Celine Gailleurd, insieme a studiosi e studiose provenienti da paesi diversi, riesce oggi a recuperarne la memoria. I saggi contenuti in questo volume non solo rinnovano la questione estetico-artistica relativa al primo cinema italiano aprendola a nuove interpretazioni, ma testimoniano anche la volonta di favorire una sinergia internazionale, valorizzando i fondi degli archivi cinematografici nazionali e internazionali, e le competenze di chi vi lavora al loro interno.

In the early 1910s, Italy was world leader in cinema with its spectacular films of Roman and Carthaginian antiquity. Despite their innovations in storytelling and mise en scene, filmmakers like Guazzoni and Pastrone also looked backward to the 19th century, by appropriating not only literature and theatre, but also painting, which has been hitherto little researched. Archaeologist painters like Gerome, Alma-Tadema and Rochegrosse, who combined painstaking historical research with their own imagination of antiquity, thus experienced a second life in the 20th century medium of film. Thanks to the use of mechanical reproduction, their works became part of public memory and were reused by filmmakers, most evident so in two key films of the early years of Italian cinema: Quo vadis? (1913) and Cabiria (1914). Yet, particularly for Cabiria, this book also creates a new archaeological framework from which to approach early Italian epics.
