Overview
Between 1907 and 1917, film was transformed from an itinerant attraction in varieté theaters and traveling cinemas into an increasingly permanent fixture of urban entertainment in storefront cinemas and cinema palaces.¹ As the cinematic dispositif underwent accelerating standardization—regulating projection speeds, shutter mechanisms, film formats, and theater architecture—editing techniques governing the organization of multiscene narrative films followed suit.² During this time, cinema’s institutionalization was met with institutional criticism. This took the form of state censorship and a proliferation of conservative religious, medical, juridical, and bildungsbürgerliche associations, initiatives, and publications aimed at controlling for the potentially deleterious effects of films.
