These three sources form the basis of this book, the first comprehensive reconstruction of Desmet's career. From his nomadic beginnings as a traveling showman to his successful switch to permanent cinema operation and film distribution, Blom shows how Desmet's fortunes encapsulated a series of structural changes within the new culture of the cinema.Film culture in transition.Motion picturesNetherlandsHistoryMotion picturesNetherlandsDistributionculture and institutengeschiedenismotion picturesfilmculture and institutionshistory, geography, and auxiliary disciplinesMotion picturesHistory.Motion picturesDistribution.791.43/092Blom Ivo Leopold800854Lynn JamesUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910143543503321Jean Desmet and the Early Dutch Film Trade1802171UNINA
