Cinéma ambulant et implantation urbaine : l'activité de William Shaw dans le contexte des Cantons-de-l'Est
|
Abstract |
The travelling projectionist William Shaw (1878-1954), who combed the back roads of the Eastern Townships for more than thirty years from the early 1900s until the early 1940s, is the subject of this case study, part of a larger study by the author of travelling projectionists which explores the relationships between the worlds of town and country by focusing on cinema in the silent era. The city at that time, where cinema operators were becoming well established, was a stopover for travelling projectionists, while the agricultural fair, at the interface between the city and the country, became the favoured site for encounters with the cinema. In the course of time, travelling projectionists developed practices that were less and less in tune with the way things were done in the city, most notably in their persistence in showing silent films after the arrival of the talkies.
