Its depth and breadth are astonishing for a first monograph by a junior scholar. The work demonstrates author's admirable ability to perform extensive archival research and sophisticated interpretation informed by interdisciplinary methodologies drawn from film phenomenology, critical theory, archival theory, art history, and socio-cultural history. It will be a significant contribution to comparative early cinema studies and modern visual culture, in addition to general East European studies. - Zhen Zhang, New York University Tisch School of the Arts Author InformationAna Grgic (PhD, University of St Andrews) is Associate Professor at Babes-Bolyai University.
