Is Cinema Dead Yet? - The Talkies

Is Cinema Dead Yet? - The Talkies

Every time a new technology is released, people claim it to be the Death of Cinema. Sound, Television, Home Video, Streaming, Covid, AI! And Cinema is still here. In this six-part series, Is Cinema Dead Yet? I'm looking at every time filmmakers, critics, and audiences thought Cinema was dead. But here's the thing, they weren't TOTALLY wrong. In each case, their concern came from somewhere; something was changing. Something Big. In this Episode: The Talkie. We're discussing Sergi Eisenstein's Manifesto warning about the use of sound, Charlie Chaplin's refusal to transition to talkies and Buster Keaton's fall from grace...at age 37! If you care about film history, film criticism, or just want to understand why every generation thinks cinema is dying — this one's for you. 🎬 Subscribe for the rest of the Is Cinema Dead Yet? series Follow me on Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/Scalerious
