Reviews

Longlisted for the 2019 Kraszna-Krausz Best Moving Image Book Award![-][-] Reading this volume, I was taken with the passionate and relentless dedication to early film colour's study spearheaded by a group of diverse and committed researchers over a span of decades. Their efforts personalize research and point to the growing cohort of human agents who make the expanding and transformational discourses about colour legible. This volume is an elegantly curated and timely contribution to the continuing scholarship on early cinematic colour and its relationship to 21st century material, visual, and digital cultures. - Denise Mok, Film & History 49.2
