An alchemical convergence of magic lantern experiments and new photographic technology led to the production of the very first moving images, including visual captures of magic, mystery, violence, cruelty, crime, sex, nudity, devilry and death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSHADOWS IN A PHANTOM EYE Volume 14 reveals a flickering carnival of attractions and aberrations from the years 1944-1946, a period when film noir emerged from the shadows and the golden age of horror movies entered its terminal stages, supplanted by the real-life newsreel images of destruction, atrocity and terror emerging from the ruins of war-torn Europe. This volume references approximately 900 films from all countries and reproduces over 200 rare photographic images, posters and illustrations, many newly unearthed from international film archives and never before published.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSHADOWS IN A PHANTOM EYE is the ultimate multi-volume guide for those wishing to explore an alternative global history of the moving image in its inaugural decades - a history that reveals a wild, often disturbing and provocative world which includes Hollywood but also stretches far, far beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nocturne Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1917285132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781917285131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bonefyre Gas Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.51d","brand":"Nocturne Group","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46334758355199,"sku":"9781917285131","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4698e5f9-0317-46c0-b07b-4a1c1c93f364.jpg?v=1731467682","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shadows-in-a-phantom-eye-nocturne-group-9781917285131","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
