Description: An International Study of Film Museums examines how cinema has been transformed and strengthened through museological and archival activities since its origins and asks what paradoxes may be involved if any in putting cinema into a museum. Cere explores the ideas that were first proposed during the first half of the twentieth century around the need to establish national museums of cinema and how these have been adapted in the subsequent development of the five case studies presented here: four in Europe and one in the US a. The book traces the history of the five museums foundation exhibitions collections and festivals organised under their aegis and it asks how they resolve the tensions between cinema as an aesthetic artefact now officially recognised as part of humanity's cultural heritage and cinema as an entertainment and leisure activity. It also gives an account of recent developments around unifying collections exhibition activities and archives in one national film centre that offers the general public a space totally devoted to film and cinematographic culture. An International Study of Film Museums provides a unique comparative study of museums of cinema in varying national contexts. The book will be of interest to academics and students around the world who are engaged in the study of museums archives heritage film history and visual culture.
